This compelling novella, Praying Angels, is full of artful deceptions, unforeseen connections, and heartbreaking abdications. This is literary fiction inspired by true events. The troubled waters of an Irish Catholic childhood propel protagonist, Joseph Dempsey, into a life of successful abundance, but did it prepare him for a severely challenging adult life?A sorely taxed Joseph Dempsey becomes a man on a mission. While Joseph struggles not to lose faith in everything he has ever believed in, he wrestles with unfamiliar frustration, unintended consequences, and an uncertain future. Joe finds himself placed in a position of having to trust a health-care system that, for him, had proven itself untrustworthy years before. Seeking vengeance through transparency and against the wishes of his family, an angry Joseph enlists the aid of an unknown novice writer, Elizabeth Allen, to ensure his thoughts are properly chronicled.Elizabeth finds herself in awe of Joseph's faith and candor, and a rather unlikely connection between the would-be storyteller and the writer is formed. As Joe faces an unwarranted and unpleasant demise, she finds the previously silenced Joseph willing to stand virtually naked and endure a self-imposed emotional cleansing while he attempts to excavate his demons. That's only if time or his family should allow.
More than a devotional, these reflections by my lifelong friend and associate Tony Owens will inspire and motivate the reader on their daily journey. Tony has experienced the ups and downs of life and has wonderfully captured his emotions within these pages. He reminds us that we're not alone, and to keep 'fighting the good fight' as he has certainly done and continues to do so to this day.--Brad W. Hoover, MDRegional Medical Director, Emergency DepartmentsNashville, TennesseeThank goodness for those who taught me to take a few minutes in the morning to get centered. Just a few minutes contemplating something other than my own incessant mental chatter gets the day going so much better. Over time there have been little nuggets of insight that over time have helped make things in my life better beyond my wildest dreams. I am so grateful Tony shared this collection with me. I've found insight, encouragement and wisdom in these pages. I was looking for nuggets and found a gold mine. I encourage anyone to use this daily. --Sam H., person in longtime recovery

This groundbreaking book aims to be the source on how to address international precedence. While precedence as a criterion plays a key role in all aspects of protocol, universal rules governing precedence do not exist. Several different methods exist instead as guidelines. Moreover, we can learn to alter these methods to adapt to cultural differences, circumstances, and the natural evolution of society as the judgment on specific topics shifts. We explore these issues that affect precedence and discuss what precedence effects "who goes where, seating, entering, and exiting venues and events, order of speeches, introductions, food service, toasting, photo opportunities, flag arrangements, etc." There is no other book addressing international precedence in this way, and it is a crucial criterion of protocol. This book is a how-to manual for quick and easy reference. The authors shared on-the-job personal experiences practically bring home the reality of situations, making this an engaging read. Precedence can be complicated when people from different nations, who do not necessarily view the world in the same way, are combined. We will examine some international organizations and seven countries: the French Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Precedence was born of struggle and strife among rulers and their representatives to determine who precedes whom, sits where, speaks when, etc. That quest for order, predictability, and the preservation of civility provided the concept for this book.
In accomplishing any truly worthwhile goal, approximately half the battle, in terms of getting there, is the strategy one employs. This is true, not only for goals of this life but also for the ultimate goal, which is clearly heaven. In this, Joe Gladwell's third published book, it is soundly proven that there is a truly specific roadmap to heaven, as revealed in the Scriptures themselves, and contrary to popular belief, this strategy employs not one, not two, not three, but six specific and distinct steps.

Anna Linda shouted, "I'll have to go to that one-room schoolhouse! We'll be living in a cramped and stinky houseboat. It's not fair! I want to stay here in town. I don't want to go to that horrible deserted island!"The island Anna Linda was upset about was called Tucker's and was only five miles offshore from her hometown in New Jersey. It was 1920, and ten-year-old Anna Linda and her older sister, Elizabeth, had to move with their parents. Dad was a clammer and needed to make a better living. Tucker's was originally called Sea Haven and was a small tourist attraction in the nineteenth century. Visitors would travel by boat to stay in the hotels and cottages. After the causeway was built to Long Beach Island, people stopped sailing to Tucker's and went by car to vacation on the larger island.Tucker's became a lonely place with abandoned hotels and windswept empty shores. It had no bridge and no roads, but it did have a lighthouse and a Coast Guard Station. The two sisters traveled over the bay with Mom and Dad with very low expectations. They missed their friends, their school, and the town of Tuckerton where they could walk to everything. Little did they dream of the adventures that awaited them. Life was hard on this desolate island, but they learned to weather its challenges. Years later, they were saddened by its demise.

I gave these words with a kiss every night since the first night my oldest daughter came home. I didn't think about it. They were just the statements that I wanted to tell them every night and the last thoughts I wanted them to hear and think about. I believe it's the last four things all children should hear from their parents at bedtime every night and made for a smoother easier time at bedtime most of the time.The activities in the book are some of the things we did together. Every day is different, but they all end the same. "Good night. Sweet dreams. God bless you. I love you."

Earth-Sod-BlenThere have been three civilizations here on earth. Presently, our society is at the end of the third civilization. What we all now call earth was once Earth-Sod-Blen. The name Earth-Sod-Blen is derived from three aspects of our planet.The first aspect is, of course, the earth, or our planet. The second is Sod, which is the ground that is floating on the water. The third is Blen. Blen is the most important of the three and is the harmonious blending of all the many beings of our planet living together in peace and harmony with all.This tale takes place at the end of the dark ages of the civilization, at a time before the continents separated and when the highest number of different symbiont beings walked the sod of the earth. There were a multitude of different cultures and races: elves, dwarfs, centaurs, hu-man, fairies, Aqua-Airians, tribal trolls, clan trolls, and the last remaining dragon.The Chronicles foretold of a great hero who would help rebuild the trust between all beings and bring peace to all. Perhaps the telling of this tale will help to bring peace to our world today.Cover illustration by David Short @davidjrshort

Wings Above the Roof in 3D is a short story of a fading hobby called flying birds. This took place in New York City with three young teenagers who love flying birds. After experiencing a brutal winter the year before, they decided to take the birds down to the basement for the winter; they would be breeding birds for the first time. Rght before going down, the pigeons went on a long excursion. It was getting dark, and one of the boys started praying to Zeus, the god of the sky, to bring back their birds. Zeus heard his prayer and sent his granddaughter Athena to investigate. She had been bored misbehaving lately, so he skipped over Haytheus, who was next in line for a mission. Zeus thought it was too meager of a task for Haytheus. But nevertheless, Haytheus was jealous and followed Athena down below, and the game of chess ensued.
As a former mathematics teacher and a master's degree recipient, I have witnessed a decline in basic mathematical abilities and financial literacy over the past twenty years. It is disheartening. To witness the anxieties people struggle with in their everyday lives--especially when due to reliance on credit--prompted me to do something. I decided to write a book to break down even complex financial concepts into understandable terms. Over the years, I have talked with business owners, bank mortgage lenders, sales professionals, finance managers, and college and high school students, along with coworkers, about the many financial topics individuals encounter throughout their lives. To be honest, I was somewhat surprised by the lack of understanding around basic financial concepts like budgeting, compensation and remuneration, insurance, credit, investments, and even taxation.Education has always been an integral part of my life. I believe in the total education of the individual, not just subject-matter expertise. An education that can last throughout a lifetime is complex yet simple, timeless yet timely, and most importantly, it builds a foundation that is needed for ultimate success. This book, Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do, builds the financial education that seems to be missing from society today. It details financial concepts necessary to guide the individual through a lifetime of experiences and endeavors. The financial topics include budgets, credit, insurance, investments, retirement, and worker compensation with fringe benefits and taxes, all tailored to an individual's personal financial life.As a former tax associate, I have assisted hundreds with their tax returns. In too many cases, individuals did not know how to fill out, complete, and/or file their required tax return. Some didn't even know what their W-2 was! I have become determined to increase their financial literacy as I did with the thousands of students I taught.Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do explains topics using real-world examples from employee compensation and lease versus purchase to loans, insurance, retirement, and the importance of investment to taxation. Employing this method breaks down any intimidation of mathematics (encountered by many of my former students and the general population) while teaching necessary financial concepts and calculations needed for everyday living--purchasing a car, buying insurance, setting up a budget, comparing total compensation from various job opportunities, retirement and investing, filing tax returns, comparing leasing, renting versus ownership, and more. A Walmart employee I recently spoke with told me he had to learn many of these concepts for himself after suffering financial hardship. He wished he would have been introduced to these concepts in school. When I informed him I had taught many of the topics contained in Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do to my students, he responded, "I wish I had you as a teacher."I want to help more people like the Walmart employee and others. I sincerely think they will not only benefit from the topics--they will find them interesting and the narrative informative.Thank you in advance for taking the time to look at Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do!
