Book excerpt: REMEMBER, YOU CARRY THE LIGHT The created beings called angels, as outlined in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, have amazing abilities. Not being bound by time or space, they are well qualified for the missions assigned them. Emmaline Tucker was born premature and with a difficulty that could take her life, and, whats more, her family was westward bound in a covered-wagon and passing through the Badlands of the Oklahoma Prairie. The minus angels were gleefully certain they could claim another life before it even started, but they failed to reckon with the Angels who were given charge over humans. The prairies of the Midwest were going through a great period of transformation in the late 1800s, and how important could one little girl be? It turns out that sometimes well, its better told in the book. Historical fiction by Joann Ellen Sisco.
Download or read book A Nickel Can of Pork and Beans written by Bryan Davidson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Nickel Can of Pork and Beans, is the autobiographical story of the life and career of Bryan Davidson told in his own humble, homespun and at times quite humorous words. Bryan Davidson enjoyed a long, illustrious career in radio. His fascination with radio began in his early teen years, just as the golden era of broadcasting began. Newly discharged from the U.S. Navy following World War II, he began as an announcer at WSON Henderson, Kentucky. The next several years found him employed in positions of announcer or manager at WIKY Evansville, Indiana, WITZ Jasper, Indiana, WPEO Peoria, Illinois and WRAY Princeton, Indiana. Eventually he and partner, Thomas Land, built, owned and managed WFIW Fairfield, Illinois, and WJBD Salem, Illinois. While he had written reams of radio commercials, this book, a record of his life, was Mr. Davidsons first attempt at narrative writing; and it chronicles his successes and his failures. His intended purpose for this memoir was to attest to his strong faith in Jesus Christ. He also hoped that his story might inspire young people to hold onto their dreams, regardless of financial hardship, temporary setbacks or discouragement. From his own experiences, he knew that dreams can be fulfilled and goals can be achieved, Life in a small Alabama coal-mining town during the Great Depression was hard as dried jerky and twice as tough. Mr. Davidsons recollections of his fathers years of working in coal mines and his mothers fierce determination to feed themselves and their only child is a tribute to the American spirit. Interlaced with humor, pathos and drama, Mr. Davidsons written words echo his distinctive radio voice. Against all odds, Bryan Davidson built and maintained a successful radio station in Salem, Illinois, one that continues to thrive and serve the community well.
Download or read book Normandy to Nazi Surrender written by Colonel Van H. Slayden and published by Black Rose Writing. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Van Slayden trained on the PT-3 kite-like biplane in 1937, but he learned fighter pilot operations flying "by the seat of his pants," walking away from five crashes. Shortly after the invasion of Normandy, he landed on Utah Beach to help establish a US Army Air Forces' (AAF's) presence in Europe. He flew the P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter-bomber, in combat over Northern France and commanded the 36th Fighter Group-the "Fightin' 36th- at Batogne, St. Vith, the Bridgehead at Remagen, Operations Grenade, Clarion, Varsity and other missions. His 22nd Fighter Squadron was the first in the AAF to land voluntarily on German soil. He was deep into Germany when the Nazis surrendered on May 8, 1945, which was remarkably anticlimactic. Van Slayden, a country boy from rural Tennessee, like so many of his contemporaries, stepped up to the challenge as part of the Greatest Generation.

This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction As a child, I realized the great importance of my grandfather’s work in the ministry and enjoyed hours of listening to the stories of his youth and young adulthood that shaped the preacher who had such a strong impact on those who would hear him speak. I also benefited from visits where we heard stories of his youth and education. His life and work provides us with an example that any preacher of the bible could admire. In the process of writing this book, it has been a great joy to revisit the inspiring stories he tells and learn more about his life. Brother Helton is viewed by many as a great friend, extraordinary minister, admired brother, example, and faithful servant of Jesus Christ. At the time of my writing this, Brother Helton’s preaching ministry has covered some sixty-three years, and continues. Brother Helton continues to be in demand for supply preaching, weddings, and revival meetings. The preparation of this biography offers an expression of my gratitude, love, and admiration for my grandfather. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of seeing the impact of his work on others as well as benefited from his example.

Mercy, a teenage girl of mixed race, and a boy nicknamed Rope, who lost fingers in a factory accident, become virtual prisoners of Harlan and Estelle Nau, whose children died during the Spanish flu epidemic. After facing abuse, Mercy and Rope flee, making an arduous journey into sparsely populated northern Michigan, where Mercy believes she will find her aunt. After Harlan is found murdered on his farm, police captain Jim Kincaid pursues Mercy and Rope to the cold, barren villages on the Mackinac Straits, but his efforts are complicated by the reemergent Ku Klux Klan, which has formed a coalition with the police deputy Milt Waters and the Dingley brothers, who run a local bootleg operation.

That’s one truth Beans knows for sure. He and his gang know how to spot a whopper a mile away, because they are the savviest bunch of barefoot conchs (that means “locals”) in all of Key West. Not that Beans really minds; it’s 1934, the middle of the Great Depression. With no jobs on the island, and no money anywhere, who can really blame the grown-ups for telling a few tales? Besides, Beans isn’t anyone’s fool. In fact, he has plans. Big plans. And the consequences might surprise even Beans himself.
