Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our modern age, Christianity and secularism have increasingly become estranged. As Christian denominations individually attempt to promote the survival of moral and ethical standards of the past, it seems David is facing the giant Goliath . . . a supposedly losing battle. However, the followers of Christ in Tangleville discover that working together as a Christian Coalition, the giant is not quite so formidable as first thought. In the wake of the wild success of Harry Sting's show on AM KNOW, he and an Anglican priest, Canon Dr. Barclay Stedmore, 'walk their talk' of uniting the many Christian communities of Tangleville from their disparate factions. By ‘Stepping Out’ together rather than going it alone, the Christian denominations make swift progress on the road to collaboration and unity. Secularism's once-accepted standard of normality is usurped. It all began in the first novel, Tangleville: Just About Any Town Anywhere which stirred up the need of co-operation amongst believers. This sequel picks up the whys, the hows, and the victory of winning . . . Stepping Out! Just as Any Town Can. Some of the town's residents were not amused!

Book excerpt: Talk show host Harry Sting is well known to his listening audience for his disdain of all things religious. But when invited guest Reverend Barclay Steadmore, a rector at St. Bartholemew's Church, catches him off guard by speaking with confidence from a secular perspective, Sting's bravado wavers. Reverend Steadmore is invited to return the following week and their discussions leave the station full of turmoil that is swiftly reflected in the responses that come from all directions. "Tangleville has been aroused," the Reverend's secretary says. "You really blew it," his parish warden affirms. What starts as a one-off encounter between two seemingly disparate forces turns into a weekly discourse that boosts the show's ratings as well as attendance at St. Bart's. Most surprising, though, is the unexpected friendship that develops between the two men. Tangleville: Just About Any Town, Anywhere invites Christians and secularists alike to rethink their commitment to the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: Warrior Rising is a very personal and inspirational story of LCol Chris Linford's road to a diagnosis of PTSD after three operational deployments to the Gulf War, Rwanda, and Kandahar, Afghanistan. He recounts his associated war stories, but it was the traumas that impacted him so dramatically leading him to what he describes as the very edge of his personal and professional competence. Finally years later and after months of effective treatment he discovered new ways to improve his health further and has since become involved in peer counselling and ongoing support to veterans who need assistance. LCol Linford remains disappointed that PTSD is still being kept in the shadows worsening the stigma surrounding it; it's time to talk about the eight hundred pound elephant in the room!
