    This is a compilation of 6 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    1: Charles Dickens is often remembered because of his Christmas Carol. And even though that is a very interesting novel, it wasn’t even his favorite. Some artists and authors claim that a work of art or a novel should be completely separated from the creator. 
    2: Perhaps you have heard of Edgar Allan Poe. Perhaps not. Either way, this 19th-century author has received quite some fame for his works and his unique style. His mystery and gruesome horror stories, comedy, and other genres have reached far into the depths of American literature. 
    3: Jane Austen is well-known for some famous books, among which the popular “Pride and Prejudice.” As an author in the early 1800s, many people may envision pretty dresses and fancy demeanor, but the reality of her life included some hardships as well that may not be so obvious by reading her novels. 
    4: Mark Twain is arguably one of the most famous authors in the United States, with his books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. His characters were a typical and yet deviant episode of the time period in which he lived, depicting the circumstances under which many people lived. 
    5: Oscar Wilde was a wild one. His statements were bold, his career was successful, and his tongue was sharp. Not only did he disturb the common narrative of the nuclear family, the Catholic church, and the idea of patriotism, but he also blew many people away with his defense of his principles, his criticism on the state, philosophies on life itself, etc. 
    6: William Shakespeare is the celebrated script writer of the most popular plays in the English language. By writing both tragedies, romances, and comedies in the 16th century, he made a name for himself and became successful in the art of drama.

    Who is King Joash 
    King Joash was the last from David’s family. He was preserved by God and placed into the kingdom under the direction of Jehoida, the priest. All the days of Jehoida’s life, Joash walked in the ways of God, but after the priest died, Joash turned away from God toward his friends godless direction. This raises questions about how our friends influence our walk with God. 
    What Can we Learn From Him 
    From Joash, we can learn many life lessons about friendships and fellowship and this third book of the Kings of All Creation series examines what we can learn through the Word. This study examines three key lessons:Do we have friends who draw us away from GodExamine false ideas about salvationCreate a plan for fellowship that draws us to God 
    How to Read this Book 
    This book is written in an easy to read format and each point draws on the prior sections. The chapters can be read in about 10-20 minutes each for an average person, and they are full of history about Joash and how to apply his life to our New Testament living. The book can be easily read in a single sitting, or over a week very reflectively. The final chapter gives some plans and strategies to put the contents of this book into place. 
    Kings of All Creation Series 
    This series is designed to learn from Old Testament kings and prophets in a way that is easy to read and digest for our modern times. While we quote from prophets, we attempt to explain the sections of Scripture in a way that is easy to understand and we seek to teach you practical applications from each of the kings we discuss.

    A chronicle of sixteen ruthless killings from Lone Star history and the dirty details that have shocked and bewildered Texans for decades. 
     
     
      
    Texas has long boasted of its iron fist and strict treatment of criminals. Nevertheless, a number of homicidal scoundrels and fiends have slipped through the state's justice system despite even the best efforts of the legendary Texas Rangers. 
     
     
      
    In 1877, Texas saw its first high-profile murder case with the slaying of a woman in Jefferson and the subsequent "Diamond Bessie" trial.

True crime writer and historian Bartee Haile unburies these and other stories from Texas's murderous past. 
     
     
      
    With these stories and more—from senseless roadside murders to political assassinations—discover the seedy underbelly of the Lone Star State's murderous past.

    This book will entertain, inform, and emotionally move its reader and provide healing. It certainly is not a lecture but a look at a survivor’s struggle with certain areas in life that are not so easy for 
    an abuse victim. It is a look at a person’s career in a very competitive job and spiritual growth. This is a troubling subject treated with sensitivity along with down-to-earth humour along the way. It would clear some of our jails and make a safer world, for our children. We’ve recognised, more or less, the existence of institutional abuse of children, but have a long way to go on the subject of familial abuse. It is prevalent and it won’t leave our lives unless light is shone on this subject, which nobody really wants to look at. We will, I’m sure.
