   Kendall Jackson, a twenty-five-year-old male who lives at home with his mother and two sisters, finds his life spiraling out of control after a failed relationship. He becomes deeply depressed, stops going to work, and is subsequently fired. 
  Filled with rage, he decides to declare war against God. Kendall intentionally targets Christian women. His hope is to seduce women into lustful, uncommitted relations to make them question their faith; just as he had. Unfortunately, Kendall didn’t plan on God having a plan. 
  God brings into Kendall’s life a young woman who introduces him to the original movie, Left Behind (2000). The movie had such a strong impact on his life that it causes him to investigate whether or not the events in the movie could truly happen. 
  As a result, Kendall experiences a spiritual encounter so surreal that neither the church nor the world can adequately explain what happened. The real question now is whether or not the answer he received is from God or Satan.

  Follow the legendary adventures of two of the Wild West’s most notorious outlaws in this historical biography. Like their partners in crime Frank and Jesse James, the Younger Brothers have been glorified in the lore of the Wild West. Famous for their daring train and bank robberies, and immortalized in the film The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid, the Younger brothers—Cole, James, John, and Bob—came to symbolize the grit and cunning of the nineteenth century frontier. Ride the Razor’s Edge chronicles their adventures while placing them in their wider historical context.  From fighting in the Civil War alongside William Quantrill and his band of guerrillas to their famous raid in Lawrence, Kansas, to their first bank robbery in Liberty, Missouri, the Youngers became heroes of the people—and foes of their state. Using family archives, personal letters, and interviews with surviving family, author Carl W. Breihan presents an authoritative and captivating story from their days with the Confederacy to Cole’s and James’s years in a Minnesota prison, and Cole Younger's fight to adapt to life after his pardon.

  The Italian Catholic Divorce

  This book is a collection of short stories of travel, adventure, and growing up as an Italian Catholic. The author tells stories of her great grandparents that came to America, and how it was literally murder getting out of Sicily. Coming from being poor peasants in Italy, America promised to provide the family with the opportunities to become wealthy aristocrats, even if one had to bootleg whiskey to do it. 
  Shocked by the faith-shaking realization that nuns were actually human beings underneath all that garb, she was still hopeful that the pope would be coming to dinner after she purchased the best china available. With some Italian traditions that just wouldn't die and too many relatives that did, Annette relates stories of their lives and deaths with wit and humor.

In the early 1990s, Geoffrey Giuliano received a call from Baker asking if he would be interested in writing his autobiography. From there a turbulent, yet fruitful relationship ensued between the two men.  
  While the book they wrote has yet to be published, here, at last, are the in-depth, upfront, and personal conversations the two unlikely friends recorded in a Western New York studio all those years ago.  
  Ginger speaks his mind holding forth on the particulars of his amazing life and work and in doing so reveals something he has always ardently tried to hide —that he is really a lovely, caring, sensitive man.
