  F*ck You God - One Man's...

  What could lead a little fellow to set a putt-putt course on fire or host a keg party at his parents’ house during high school (when his father was a prominent pastor in town) or defy all odds and become perhaps a combination of the smallest and slowest starting wide receiver in major college football history? And how did that youngster eventually become an NFL agent by accident, meeting his future wife on a steamy asphalt parking lot with a “Hey, what’s your name?” yelled across that same parking lot by way of introduction and then having his heart radically transformed by the birth of his first child, Hannah, before raising three more children? And how could this same man possibly handle the news that his beloved daughter was dying? And more so, once she died, would it ever be possible for him to find healing?  
  Join Phil Williams on his journey as he weaves humorous, heartwarming, and intriguing stories from birth until fatherhood, and then walk with him on the most painful path a parent could ever navigate, all of which leads him to what he would call the only journey worth taking: the journey to discover what this life is really all about and who we really are.  
  If you like stories that leave you smiling and crying and laughing and anticipating the next one, dig in. But, no matter how much you might anticipate the next story, nothing will prepare you for the climax of this deeply emotional tale of a man and his daughter and the deeper search for meaning and truth.

  Great Conquerors - Biographies...

  This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: The Greek general and king, Alexander the Great, is a name you might have heard before. Although his historical journey varies greatly from the stories and rumors about him, he did accomplish many victories in Asia and Europe in his conquest to rule the world. 
  In this guide, we will go over his appearance, his character, his many battles, his clever military strategies, and the regions he conquered. His vast empire stretched farther than much else had before his time. But eventually, it became divided, and the throne was being fought over. This was one of the things that shows us how much of a difference he made as a ruler in his empire. 
  2: Undoubtedly, Napoleon, the French revolutionist and emperor has left his mark on European history. His vast empire stretched all over the continent, his unique image and posture have been emulated by many, and his infamous defeat in Russia was a precursor of the defeat Hitler experienced for similar reasons. 
  When we take a time machine to the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, how can we better understand the culture and ideas of those times? How did someone from the relatively tiny island of Corsica become such an iconic figure in history? 
  3: William the First, who was also called William the Conqueror and in some cases William the Bastard, was the first Norman emperor of England, ruling from 1066 till his death in 1087. Around this time, many wars and battles were waged over the kingdom and distribution of territories in Europe. France, the Anglo-Saxons, and Scandinavian troops were engaged in raids, struggles, and battles to claim their lands and gains.

  Stephen King's Maine - A History...

  Much of Western Maine reads like a Stephen King novel. 
   
   
   
  The dense dark woods and backcountry ponds. The century-old houses with gravel driveways and immense flower gardens, acres of farmland miles from a highway. Serpentine country roads dotted with farmstands, and picturesque main streets lined with battered pickups. Places where—especially during the dark and rainy days of October and November—things can get downright spooky. 
   
   
   
  Author Sharon Kitchens identifies the locations that serve as the basis for King's fictional towns of Castle Rock, Jerusalem's Lot, Derry, and Haven. Drawing on historical materials and conversations with locals and people who know King, the author sheds light on daily life in places that would become the settings for Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone, Cujo, IT, and 11/22/63.

  A Walk Through the Wilderness takes the reader on a harrowing adventure through the rigid psychological manipulation of a fundamentalist cult, the many joys and sorrows during the years of recovery afterwards, the seeming hopelessness of infertility, and finally to a joy realized. 
  Being raised in a liberal Christian home, Dan never imagined the sorrows he would face as his faith evolved into fundamentalist cult status. For many years he lived under a rigid religious control structure that managed every aspect of his life and resulted in deep emotional scarring. During the years of recovery after his involvement, he and his wife Chanthy suffered through years of infertility which (combined with the cult experiences) resulted in both of them becoming atheists. There is hope, however, for Dan & Chanthy as their journey leads them through the joy of a successful adoption effort and the coming to fruition of their desires for a happy and healthy family. 
  In Dan Conger’s book we experience his faith and his doubt, his sorrows and his hopes, his joys and his expectations for a bright future. The reader is welcomed to come along on A Walk Through the Wilderness.
