tower

by Inga Wiehl
Tower Blues is a play on The Blue Tower, named for its exterior walls covered by blue clinkers. It stood cheek to jowl with the royal castle in seventeenth century Copenhagen and served as a prison for the worst malefactors of the time.tower

On August 16, 1661, Leonora Christine Ulfeldt, daughter of King Christian IV and half-sister of the reigning king, Frederik III, was arrested and brought to the Tower on unspecified charges. Unwilling to offer potentially incriminating information about herself and her husband, Corfitz Ulfeldt, Leonora eventually forces the team of high ranking men sent for questioning to reveal the grounds on which she is held captive. She is suspected of complicity in her husband’s acts of high treason against the Danish crown. Her refusal to know anything about betrayals sentences her to twenty-two years of imprisonment in a damp, filthy, rat-infested cell that’s lit only by a small mesh covered window just below the ceiling.

Given nothing with which to occupy her mind or hands, she must rely on herself for continued survival. As she agonizes about the whereabouts of her husband and seven

because

by Don J. Carey III
Have you ever wondered what makes some people more successful than others? Well it does not always boil down to talent. Often times there are far more variables involved that causes some to rise above rest. There is no doubt that we all want to be successful in life. The million dollar question, however, is how should we go about obtaining that success? Yes there are some who are just flat out better. Those who, no matter what they do, possess an innate ability to come out on top of any situation. becauseBut that group is the exception to the rule, not it’s standard. So how do the vast majority of successful people, including myself, become successful? As marvelously stated in the title, It’s Not Because I’m Better Than You. I and many others have tapped into some crucial life principles that have truly transformed the way we live our lives. Contrary to our wishful thinking, there are no magical success buttons in life. Yet that does not mean success is a far off foreign concept that cannot be actualized. I truly believe that

you

by Suzanne Scott
You Are Enough: You Always Were is an empowering story of how one woman came to recognize the ways in which her childhood, despite its many pitfalls, has played a vital role in her becoming the strong woman that she is. Over the years, she realized the impact that her experiences had on her daily life, which eventually led her to the process of sifting through the youashes of painful memories that have been carefully tucked away, in an effort to free herself from her past.

While there are many books about this struggle, this one offers a unique approach.  It delves specifically into the therapeutic process used by the main character and juxtaposes it with her friend who has been using an entirely different therapeutic process.  In the end, each of these characters is transformed.

Words From My Father

words

by David Weber
Words From My Father is the collected works of writing over the last seven years. Many of the notes are profound family experiences, told in the light of living our faith. Some are social commentary also told in the light of living our faith. Each originally sent as an email to family and friends. All were written and sent wrapped in the hope and prayer that what our Lord has asked is what is revealed in every note.words

The title “Words From My Father” takes account of three thoughts.

  • First – writing not being his strongest suit, our Lord planted the seeds for every note and gave the grace needed for the writing – Words From Our Father.
  • Second – his mother and father live their lives as an example of God’s love; teaching, coaching and guiding the family – Words From My Mother and Father.
  • Third – every note is written for his children with the hope to teach, guide and inspire – Words From Your Father.

trying

by Christopher Wiehl with John Turner
Adversity. Every living person faces it. It’s part of the human condition. I’m Christopher Wiehl, an actor and filmmaker, and I’ve had plenty of challenges of my own. Some people may not think that’s the case, but I bet they’ve never had brain fluid leaking from their nose.trying

I’d been living what some would have considered a charmed life when, in 2008, doctors discovered a brain tumor next to the auditory nerve in my right ear. It nearly killed me, but I’m still here. And through it all, one lesson I’ve learned is that the adversity people face is not as important as their response to it. It’s how they overcome the obstacles—how they learn to walk like a man, as Bruce Springsteen would say—that keeps them moving forward.

In Trying to Walk Like a Man, we’ll talk about how I’m trying to survive in the cutthroat entertainment industry—and while you’re here, we’ll discuss our own lives. We’ll talk about some of the adversity we all face, and we’ll see if we can figure out what keeps us putting one foot in front of the other. Pull

It introduced me to the South Pacific Islands and the wonderful and gracious people there; it was truly “A Paradise.” The warm trade winds that I can feel sometimes in my dreams, the feel and sounds of the wind in the sails and moving through fear.

It introduced me to the wonders of the ocean and its inhabitants.

This trip changed my life and what I thought the world was. It enabled me to see, feel and

These brave people sacrificed their peaceful lives and joined one of the many life-changing cultural upheavals of the mid-20th century. They were not famous, nor from privileged backgrounds. Today, most of them still battle Post Traumatic finallyStress Disorder (PTSD), and far too many are ill with such diseases as diabetes, cancer, and other related disorders. They now find peace, and though they struggle with it, grace.

At the end of the biographical section are two chapters on PTSD and Toxic Exposure (ie. Agent Orange). A small history, symptoms, individual experiences, and ways to get help either through the Veterans Administration (VA), or through private medical personnel/complimentary health care will be offered. The author’s own tips for the VA personnel to be more helpful to veterans of all battles and foreign /domestic deployments are included.

The stories contained in this book were an act of faith on the part of the veterans who shared their stories. Difficult to face because of the horrors endured and ongoing, the telling and
