Download or read book Jacob written by I. C. Sharpe and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this book is an absolute nut! And he even admits it wholeheartedly and would like a parade thrown on behalf of that fact alone! With all honesty though, he grew up the middle child in a family that was Jehovah Witness until he was twelve in Citrus Heights California, better known as the Sacramento valley. His parents divorced when he was five. He grew up as a social outcast (hermit), who sought after love, kindness, respect, and truth despite a prominent temper. After graduating from high school, he joined the military before moving to Las Vegas, Nevada, getting married, having children, and then getting divorced. He joined the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) before he was married, fell away, and only truly gained his testimony and blessings after his divorce. The author realized his ability to write when he was in high school as he wrote various poems. His talent has stayed with him, showing itself in the military through short stories and even through a book and one half written (not counting this one) that he will not publish for personal reasons. He once went to college for designing and developing video games, where the subjects he did best in were all about writing, and his mother has a book or two out on the market as well. He is a good guy (or so I hear), single, has been learning and practicing patience, is temple worthy (with recommendation), and stuck in Las Vegas until he turns forty-five because he loves his three daughters. On the downside, he has had jobs from one end of the spectrum to the other, has never been promoted in any of them, and is more content being of service at the bottom of the chain than trying to get to the top. I personally think he is very imaginative, resourceful, creative, and, well, like I said, he is a nut! But then again, I might be a little bias. Enjoy the book!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1500s, twenty-four year old Spanish Captain Luis Escudero is already a legend in Spain’s professional army, living and fighting in her battles, gambling his life on the slim chance that one day he’ll have enough money to travel to that strange new world Christopher Columbus discovered just twenty five years ago. There he will build a ranch, leave the army and live in peace. Destiny takes a hand and Luis’ gamble might just pay off if he can stay alive long enough. King Carlos offers him command of a top secret expedition with orders to explore Mexico’s Aztec empire and determine whether wild rumors of vast piles of gold and silver are true or just wild delusions of drunken sailors. Spain needs a quick infusion of gold to stave off a financial crisis. “No European has ever set foot in that barbaric empire and crawled back to civilization alive,” King Carlos tells Luis. “It’ll be an enormous challenge. You’ll be outnumbered thousands to one—but if you and your men somehow manage to survive, return and verify there is gold, I’ll dispatch Hernando Cortez and his conquistadors to seize it and ship it back to Spain!” Captain Luis Escudero and his battle hardened mercenaries, the first Europeans to enter Mexico, set sail for the Aztec empire and this strange, mysterious adventure begins. Will the Aztecs allow foreign invaders to peacefully explore their historic land? Not if the Aztec army commander has anything to say about it.

Book excerpt: This book is the condensed version of my life. It contains the things I can remember most about what has occurred in my life. It is in effect the autobiography of Jonathan Daniel Beckmon which is my full legal name given to me by my parents Raymond Beckmon and Linda Helms (her maiden name) and assigned to me in the United States of America where I was born. At my current stage of life my only real goal is to get married. I have been looking for a suitable spouse for at least 15 years as of the time this book is being published with no luck. Its very hard to find a decent moral woman with the current state of our society and general lack of moral values in the United States of America. I honestly feel that had I been born in Russia I would have been married long ago. I had much better luck finding women there that were interested in my qualities and that were decent human beings. However I have only managed to make it to Russia once as it is beyond my current financial means to go there a lot until I find a wife. Since I refuse to lower my very high standards Ive lived out my life alone. It is better to die alone than to marry a wicked woman. You can read the book to find where the codename Lehi comes from.
