Did you know that babies come into the world with abilities that adults are unaware of? The Baby Gangs of Athens peels back the curtain and shows the lives of the babies who live in Athens and Athens County. We see the gangs with their alliances and rivalries that exist, especially the East Side and the West Side gangs in Athens. We watch with bated breath as they prepare for the big baby drag races held at the Athens County Fair. Adults do not know that each baby gang works toward winning the baby drag race and being proclaimed, 'Athens County's #1 Baby Gang'. Through rigorous training, each gang works toward putting the best team of babies into the big race. But like adults, the babies use intrigue and tricks as they maneuver to gain the upper hand. We see Baby Ben, a member of the East Side gang, being accused of crimes against puppies and kittens. Horrors! But Baby Ben, with the aid of his gang and especially his friend Jewell, may yet prevail and goodness might win the day. The gangs get together in their clubhouses and on social media using such platforms as Babybook and Babieslist. We follow their training regimen and the history of baby gangs in Athens. In fact, we learn of other baby gangs throughout Ohio and beyond. In the end, the babies race before thousands of spectators at the Fair. As each race narrows the field, the excitement builds. Betting on the babies reaches a new record and the results of each heat reaches viral proportions. Who will win the big prize of being the best baby drag racer and whose gang is proclaimed the best gang in Athens County?

Book # 1: The End Times Beginning Phase in the Understanding End Time Bible Prophecy series eliminates the opinions of men and replaces them with an extremely literal and detailed perspective of Bible prophecy.

This debut novel is a dark reimagining of `The Pied Piper of Hamelin'.

An asteroid crashes through the Russian sky, the likes of which no one alive can remember seeing, and the world spectacle leaves a trail of smoke and injuries in its wake. A comet named ISON, touted by some as the brightest ever, arrives in the same year, a year referred to by space publications as "The Year of the Comets." But that would be only the beginning of heavenly wonders. NASA computer models confirmed a rare "tetrad" of blood moons is prepared to fly its heavenly banner in 2014 and 2015, and along with it the sun will darken as well. But back on Earth another spectacle is unfolding. Through the most unlikely series of events, Barack Obama was catapulted from the Illinois state senate into the White House in just four years, causing some to call him the luckiest politician alive. But was his rise to power only luck? The Israelis would ponder that question as his first term came to an end, suddenly finding themselves almost completely surrounded again by their enemies. And at the U. N., where the Jews are hopelessly outnumbered, efforts to create a Palestinian state in the heart of Israel are leaping forward, even as the Israeli leader finally draws a red line against Iran and its nuclear bomb program. With profound geopolitical shifts unfolding in the Mideast since the rise of Obama, a particular interpretation of Matthew 24:6 is causing an array of prophetic Scripture to come to life, fitting together like the pieces of a puzzle. And their harmony with current events portends a coming sequence of world-shaking events on the horizon: An Israel-Iran war, a grand peace treaty in Palestine, and then a great war among nations.

As the masses stare into their viewing screens (TVs), their minds are absorbed into created reality, unable to prevent the absurd from entering their essence. No longer possessing the freedom of thought that distinguished their ancestors, many have lost the capacity of discernment so critical to operating a democracy. It is a new age of manipulation that has dawned upon the weary masses, one not satisfied with control of their economic production, but seeking their minds as well. And it is their minds that technology has provided, placed in the hands of individuals obsessed with controlling others. Out of the smoke and dust of it all has risen up a new man whose bond to his ancestors is diminished. He has been taught to embrace a new moral order that was anathema to those who came before him. And he appears incapable of connecting its implementation to the decay and loss of freedom he sees all around. Exploring the same vein George Orwell did in his classic, 1984, Manipulating Man is a nonfiction look at the unfolding paradigm of mass manipulation by individuals embracing an ideology of control. Having gained control over what the masses see and hear, the power wielded by this ideological collective has become a violation of the Natural Law rights of man. And this has caused the shadow of a new and more insidious tyranny to be cast over America. But as with all tyranny, within its dark structure is an Achilles heel waiting to be struck.
