Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle may be over, but the war has just begun. The Siege of Vicksburg has ended and for Lummy Tullos, so has the war. Weary of battle, loss, and death, he has decided to return to Winn Parish to salvage what little life he has left. Sneaking away from the Confederate Army on the march from Vicksburg to a parole camp, he sets out with his closest friend, J.A., on a path of their own choosing. Together they evade Union patrols, cross the Mississippi River under fire, and dodge the Southern Home Guard as they make the long walk home. He comes home ready to lay down his weapons of war, only to find his fight for justice has just begun.Reuniting with his friend and former slave Old Bart, Lummy learns the brutal truth surrounding the death of his wife, Susannah. Filled with grief, he must regain his strength and the leader of a ragtag army of former rebel soldiers as they hunt down outlaw Home Guardsman Dawg Smith and the other members of his corrupt band, responsible for years of mayhem and death across the parish. It's not the homecoming he'd once wished for, but when Lummy stumbles across the opportunity to live up to his new oath of setting men free, he recognizes it for what it really is—a path to his own redemption.

Download or read book My Descent Into Death written by Howard Storm and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2005-02-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since Betty Eadie’s Embraced by the Light has a personal account of a Near-Death Experience (NDE) been so utterly different from most others—or nearly as compelling. "This is a book you devour from cover to cover, and pass on to others. This is a book you will quote in your daily conversation. Storm was meant to write it and we were meant to read it." —from the foreword by Anne Rice In the thirty years since Raymond Moody’s Life After Life appeared, a familiar pattern of NDEs has emerged: suddenly floating over one’s own body, usually in a hospital setting, then a sudden hurtling through a tunnel of light toward a presence of love. Not so in Howard Storm’s case. Storm, an avowed atheist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized that he was at death’s door. Storm found himself out of his own body, looking down on the hospital room scene below. Next, rather than going “toward the light,” he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. His description of his pure terror and torture is unnerving in its utter originality and convincing detail. Finally, drawn away from death and transported to the realm of heaven, Storm met angelic beings as well as the God of Creation. In this fascinating account, Storm tells of his “life review,” his conversation with God, even answers to age-old questions such as why the Holocaust was allowed to take place. Storm was sent back to his body with a new knowledge of the purpose of life here on earth. This book is his message of hope.

Download or read book Storm of Terror written by Anthony Wood and published by Oghma Creative Media. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He thought his battles were over. This one is for his soul. Lummy Tullos has borne witness to the brutal toll of war. His harrowing journey has led him down paths he never intended, forced him to commit acts he never imagined. Yet, in the crucible of conflict, it's often the noblest of men who must carry out the darkest deeds. Lummy faced the impossible because survival—and sanity—demanded it. With the Civil War's echoes fading, Choctaw County, Mississippi, has known relative peace since Captain Tom Ford's notorious gang met its violent end two years ago. But the loss of kin and comrades presses heavily on Lummy's soul. Now, all he yearns for is to be a devoted husband, a loving father, and to till the good soil of the family farm in peace. Lummy’s story isn’t finished, though. His battles, he hoped, were over, but President Grant himself reaches out to deny him respite. The work of preserving freedom demands further sacrifice as a new specter looms on the horizon. A former brother-in-arms, once bound by the shared crucible of Vicksburg’s trenches, now reigns terror over central Louisiana. The call to arms reaches Lummy's ears once more, beckoning him to stand against the storm of terror so that others may know the peace he now craves. Choctaw County's fields will have to wait as Lummy journeys back to Winn Parish, where the West-Kimbrell Gang's tyranny must be quelled and the clash of wills will decide the fate of a region held captive by fear and lawlessness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Causes Life's Storm?In this sense, a storm differs from the natural-caused winter storm I experienced in 2021. The storms of life are what are being discussed here; to put it another way, our problems with life threaten to consume us. And the size and intensity of this storm varies from individual to person, family to family, and even country to nation. Everybody, everywhere, must contend with their own distinctive storm. Some people's storms include aridity, poverty, and then terrible health. While the storm for other people is a misbehaving kid or a tumultuous marriage. It may even be futility, like working hard yet producing nothing. We could go on forever and yet not be able to discuss all of the many storms that individuals encounter in life. In a previous piece, I provided further illustrations and tips for surviving life's storms. Biblical examples of life's These individuals all survived storms of various intensities throughout life. In the name of Jesus, I pray that the same God who delivered them will also deliver you. How Can I Find Peace During a Storm? Particularly for Christians, the subject of how to find calm amid the storm is important. Why? because despite having Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they are still dealing with life's storms. So, did God break His promises? Is He a liar? Let's consider what He stated in His word before we respond to this question. I have spoken these things to you so that you may find comfort in me. You will experience hardship in this world, but have hope-I have conquered the world. (John 16:33) Jesus thus made it obvious that His followers should prepare for hardship; nonetheless, we should be glad since He has triumphed over the world. how you discover peace Celebrate and find comfort in the knowledge that Jesus has conquered the world. Jesus, our Lord, did not mislead or brainwash us; instead, he stated the obvious when he said that there will be storms in this world. But he wants us to be glad and at peace because He has triumphed over the world, hallelujah. Trust God throughout the storm: Often, it's our failure to focus on God and His attributes that causes the storm to seem more severe than it really is. And the storm is all we can think about. There will be serenity if you can change your attention from the storm to the God who is in the storm.

After ending the murderous reign of the outlaw Rebel Home Guard responsible for his wife’s death, Lummy wants just one thing—to put the twentieth star for Mississippi back on the flag of his ancestors.

He joins with new friends loyal to the Union to help end the killing and destruction at home but realizes that it’s not enough. Lummy’s convinced his loyalty and dedication will now best serve ending the war by switching sides. Taking the new oath, he must leave to do the one thing he never wanted.
