  Secret Service Special Agent Ken Valentine protected three sitting presidents, all while he and wife Sandra reared five children. In Cheating Death, he details his experiences and shares practical and inspirational advice on living your most abundant, victorious life. 
   
  “Everyone, and I mean everyone, will give you advice on which way to go with your life. Friends, acquaintances, classmates, teammates, your friends’ friends, family, teachers, counselors, and neighbors will nose into your business. They will want to help you with everything from how to dress, to how to act. They will tell you what and where to eat, where to go and what to do. Before you know it, your whole life will be planned out for you, by someone else. If you are susceptible to influencers, choose your influences wisely. 
   
  “Not all advisors, or advice, is equal. In fact, some of the advice coming your way courtesy of well-meaning friends or family may be downright awful. Truly wise and useful advice will come from very few. The world will give you the same crummy advice it gives everyone. “Get fame. Pursue fortune. More is better!” The world consistently perpetuates the lie, that fame and fortune will make you happy. 
   
  “The world lies. Fame and fortune will not fill the void in our heart that was designed to be occupied by Christ. Only God can fill that God-shaped space within us. The world keeps trying, and people keep following the siren song down thewide path to happy destruction. 
   
  “Happy is hard to define. I have determined that Happy is an elusive place. All of the world’s unfulfilled and dissatisfied people will call you to the same wide path, life-plan they followed—and expect a different result? I challenge you to take the narrow road. I urge you to trust in the Lord in all your decision making.”

  Orígenes de la Discapacidad es un testimonio poético y espiritual que recorre miles de años de historia para revelar cómo las personas con diferencias físicas fueron vistas en la antigüedad: no como errores, sino como parte de la creación misma. 
  Desde los altares sumerios hasta los juicios modernos, este libro desnuda el peso del silencio, el castigo y la indiferencia que marcaron a generaciones enteras. Cada capítulo mezcla memoria, denuncia y fe, mostrando que el dolor no siempre trae lecciones, que el silencio puede ser tanto lápida como resistencia, y que incluso los dioses alguna vez fueron incompletos. 
  Más que un estudio académico, este audiolibro es un viaje íntimo y simbólico que transforma la percepción de la discapacidad en algo sagrado. Su narración pausada y profunda invita a escuchar con el corazón abierto, dejando que cada palabra arda en la conciencia. 
  Para quienes alguna vez se sintieron excluidos, invisibles o juzgados, Orígenes de la Discapacidad ofrece un mensaje claro: la historia no está completa sin nuestras voces.

  Patton's Push - The Bold Tactics...

  General George S. Patton was one of the most influential military leaders of the 20th century, his name forever linked with boldness, aggression, and relentless pursuit of victory. His legacy as a tactical genius in World War II is undisputed, particularly for his innovative strategies and dynamic leadership during key campaigns in Europe. Patton’s approach to warfare, characterized by rapid movement, audacity, and the application of psychological warfare, was a departure from traditional military doctrine and left an indelible mark on modern military tactics. 
    
  Patton’s leadership was grounded in his deep understanding of warfare, which was built upon a combination of formal training, historical knowledge, and an innate sense of battlefield dynamics. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he believed in the power of initiative, often taking risks to strike the enemy when and where they least expected it. His emphasis on speed and maneuverability — particularly through the use of tanks and combined arms tactics — allowed his forces to outpace and outflank the enemy, creating chaos and forcing decisive confrontations on his terms. This ability to maintain the initiative and exploit weaknesses in enemy lines was a hallmark of Patton's genius.
