Download or read book Through the Glass Darkly written by James Styles and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story begins in the year 2030 as our lead character is an eighty-five-year-old man who lives alone in a modern world. He has outlived his wife and most of his friends and family. One evening as he sits down in front of his TV, he falls asleep and awakens to find himself in the year 1961. He thinks he is having a dream, but it is one that is so vivid and realistic that he wonders if it is just a dream, or is he really somehow back in 1961? And if so, why? Is it to correct a long-ago decision? Thus begins our hero's journey back in time as he pursues a completely different career and personal path. I think some of us would like another "bite of the apple" and maybe make some different decisions from the ones that were made in the past.
Download or read book Always Remembered Never Forgotten written by E. S. Tasker and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his effort of further stressing the need for today’s law enforcement, the author of Rocks and Bottles has continued in the same vein by writing Always Remembered, Never Forgotten. It is a compilation of situations that he and other officers faced while working in law enforcement over a period of thirty years. When reading each of the incidents, it is hoped that you, the reader, will better appreciate the responsibilities shouldered by the men and women who represent their communities by wearing the badge. He hopes to convey that while those in law enforcement have each accepted the responsibilities that accompany the job, they elected to do so freely as others have done before them. Each one of them recognize that each day they go to work, there will be perils, and for some, it could be the day that they’re asked to make the ultimate sacrifice. They must always be remembered and never forgotten. Sadly, though, a culture has developed within today’s society that when hearing of an officer being killed in the line of duty, nothing is felt at all—no remorse, no sense of loss, nothing. Many identify the news as part of our everyday life and an accepted part of our culture—something that’s simply another news item. The time has come for our society to come to its senses and realize that the only thing separating our civilization as we know it from falling into a state of anarchy is our law enforcement. We must never forget that these individuals who are willing to give their lives for us are people too. They’re not only numbers, but they’re also that segment of our society that, when needed in times of trouble, always responds to the call.

Book excerpt: Davey Simpson, a fisherman, is charged with the murder of a powerful Alabama politician's son. His childhood friend, Ben Johnson, is well-qualified to act as his attorney, but Ben would have to resign as the first black lieutenant governor of Alabama to take the case. Davey does not want Ben to make such a sacrifice. While in the Mobile County Jail awaiting trial, Davey has a unique method of surviving confinement. Since he can't endure living in the present, he lives in the past, recalling memories of his two childhood friends --his lost love, Pokey, and his best friend, Ben. Even though those memories are also a reminder that Ben and Pokey both moved away from Mobile, they allow Davey to escape the unbearable loneliness of incarceration. Years before, when Ben was shunned and mistreated because of his race, Davey stood up for him. Now, despite Davey's protests, Ben insists on representing Davey. Though they had been separated by time and space, loyalty prevails. However, it is Davey's plight that causes childhood friends to reunite and renew their relationships. Unexpected twists reveal the many complications involved in the case and in Davey's personal life as well. This book was awarded Second Place in the Sandhill Writer's Conference for Novels in 2009.
