This book is a collection of poetry about soldiers, including fallen and injured servicemen and women. The collection does not specifically tell the story of an individual personally, but more as an overall story of the members of our armed forces.

The story of the forced re-location of five southeastern U.S. Indian nations in the 19th century.

This startling new history of the Revolutionary War, told for the first time from the perspective of both the colonists and the colonizers, demonstrates that for the Americans, it was a war of rebellion, for the British, it became their Vietnam.

Cultural observer Os Guinness argues that the American experiment in freedom is at risk. Guinness calls us to cultivate the essential civic character needed for ordered liberty and sustainable freedom. True freedom requires virtue, which in turn requires faith. Only within the framework of what is true, right and good can freedom be found.

The Golden Tears is based on lifes realities. It is mainly about how people lose their happiness through losing themselves as individuals and how discovering your true self can bring happiness back. The story is adapted from general life situations. The main character is one of those lucky individuals who manage to turn their unhappy lives around and become very happy at the end of the day. Using the characters turnaround, The Golden Tears provides prevention of derailment in general. Pieces of advice are sent to the youth and to the community at large. The Golden Tears, therefore, is structured to introduce people to happy life obstructions; it provides the effects of letting yourself be distracted, followed by how you can turn things around. This is where the individual, as himself or herself, counts the most, as knowledge of oneself is required for any road to success to be possible. In the last part, one who manages to discover himself or herself becomes a hero who walks a memorable journey to happiness, where true freedom may be enjoyed.

Praise for Healing: The Path to Freedom: "What Michael has apparently discovered and teaches is that how we interact with life, moment by moment, particularly our feeling experience, is visibly at the core of everything. From the broken things to the extraordinary things, it is nowhere else but the place that no one thinks to look--literally in ourselves. The remarkable, almost unique aspect of Michael's work is that everything he does and teaches points you back to the truth of your own tangible experience. If you want to entertain the possibility of real change, this can be an excellent place to do it. If you seek to preserve your status quo, well, this may not be the place. The work is not easy, though it is simple and clear. It's also not necessarily a quick fix, though some experience rapid results. Expect change and be prepared to see that life is not (only) what you thought it was. In today's increasingly small world, sticking one's head in the sand is becoming a less and less viable option as hiding places become hard to find. Michael's work is all about strongly engaging life and finding the only reliable refuge: your true self." -- Marc Glassgold

Films both reflect and construct social reality, especially in the way they employ, affirm and critique the discourses through which we grasp political life. This book examines five contemporary feature films that engage our deep attachments to two core political ideas freedom and vengeance asking: what do audiences learn about freedom and vengeance from film, and what are the political consequences of the reproduction or disruption of their meanings? Often, contemporary films represent the pursuit of freedom and revenge in a depoliticized way, erasing the precarious character of social life. Other films, however, foreground the negotiation of unchosen relations and circumstances in their drama. Films examined include Into the Wild, Mystic River, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, Wendy and Lucy and Winter s Bone."

This historical novel is a cautionary tale intended to emphasize how history repeats in libertys battle against tyranny. It spans four dramatic timeframes of the French Revolutions reign of terror, the American Civil War, the Prague Spring Uprising in the height of the cold war, and concludes in the desperate Iranian Revolution, which ushered in an age of terrorism and war on freedom. The saga chronicles the genealogy of a French family which escapes the guillotines of Paris to live in Prague, Bohemia, in the 1800s. From there, the story morphs into the struggle of one of this same familys French/Czech descendants who immigrated to America, as he fought in the Battle of Shiloh. The storyline returns to the days in Prague, 1968, as an Arab Spring phenomenon occurred to overthrow their oppressive rule, only to be followed by a new reign of terror. The final segment of the book takes the reader to the streets of Tehran, Iran, as a repeat of the revolt against a monarchy, as in France, resulted in mayhem and violence. The book is a thus a cautionary tale for the days we live in. Finally, there is an emotional, personal study of survival despite oppression, which those persecuted under tyranny learned. The repeated character of Pierre, Pjeter, and Peter tells of this familys eventual escape to freedom. Uniquely, the story is told by the Statue of Liberty herself, as she narrates the saga on the morning of September 11, 2001.

Moreover, it provides information on how to comfort the bereaved of all ages, develop a grief support group, conduct a memorial service, and give a eulogy. It is a masterful creation, bereavement bible, and a missal of encouragement that I would recommend to those who are grieving and those working in the field of grief and loss (Kathleen M. VanNeste-Kortebein, MS, LPC, bereavement specialist). An excellent and introspective read that will guide you toward understanding your grief and coping with your loss. This book will lead you in the right direction to live a more peaceful and joyful life. Terrific advice and resources to assist and comfort the bereaved. I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with grief (Anna Goff, MSW, hospice social worker, grief counselor). No More Tears is a must-read for all pastors, ministers, deacons, and grief counselors who comfort the bereaved(Rev. Deloris Greer-Stevens, Friendship Baptist Church). The pages are filled with valuable information, instruction, and encouragement (Dr. Samuel Bullock Jr., Bethany Baptist Church). A book that I highly recommend to all psychologists, social workers, nurses, and counselors who care for the elderly (Sandra White, director of operationsEast PACE Southeast Michigan).
