The Modern Fifth Monarchist
With trials and tribulations still looming in the distance, after having Satan tamper with the truth, Gulf War-era veteran Scott Harrison brings the truth to light in The Modern Fifth Monarchist: An Apocalyptic Message--a memoir detailing Scott's direct encounters with Jesus Christ and Satan in which he was sent directly from Christ's glorified arms to prepare the bride for the Second Coming.Realizing there was none like Scott, Satan began to directly hinder Scott until he could ensnare him and catch him in a fault. His memoir records a summary of his Harrison lineage and the events of his own life that had the most significant impacts. It also includes his current theological and political positions.His direct encounters with Christ and Satan prove Satan's ignorance of God's future plans because he played right into God's hands. The hindrances He imposed on Scott caused brother to betray brother and a father his son, so that son rose against father and put him to death. Jesus foretold these events in two of the gospels when speaking of sending the apostles and as a sign of the end-times.Scott's memoir reveals how multiple other end-time prophecies have been fulfilled as well. It is the instrument of an apocalyptic message to make ready the bride of Christ, by spurring a Modern Fifth Monarchy movement to counter the rise of the anti-Christ and establish a starting point for Christ's reign on earth.

Bare Knuckle
INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!Father. Fighter. Champion. Outlaw. Hailed as an "exhilarating debut" by Publishers Weekly, Bare Knuckle by former Rolling Stone editor Stayton Bonner (nominated for the Dan Jenkins Medal of Excellence in Sportswriting) takes readers into a previously unknown world: the underground circuit of illegal bare-knuckle fighting.Bare Knuckle is the remarkable true tale of Bobby Gunn, the 73-0 undisputed champion of bare-knuckle boxing.An inspiring underdog story that reads like a real-life Rocky. Bobby Gunn has been fighting for his existence since a childhood spent living under the hand of his volatile father, and would do anything to give his seven-year-old daughter a better life--including betting on himself in the underground world of bare-knuckle boxing.In 1984, Gunn was an eleven-year-old boxer in Ontario when his father woke him in the middle of the night to fight grown men in motel parking lots for money, his old man pocketing the cash. From there, Gunn traveled to Las Vegas, Tijuana, and beyond, competing in ringed matches as well as in biker bars and mobster dens on the side, brawling to make ends meet.But it was only with the birth of his daughter--and his desire to help her avoid his fate--that Gunn entered the big-time world of underground Russian-mob matches of up to $50,000 a night in New York City, hoping to finally raise his family above the fray.Former Rolling Stone editor Stayton Bonner travels the underground for years with Gunn, the world champion of bare-knuckle boxing with a 73-0 record, shining a light on a secret circuit that's never before been revealed. Along the way, we explore the fascinating history of this first sport in America, Gunn's Irish Traveler community--a sect of religious fighters best known through Brad Pitt's depiction in Snatch--as well as his part in the improbable rise of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, the first legal revival of the sport.Bare Knuckle, a tale of triumph, loss, and a father's love for his family, is a heartbreaking but ultimately inspiring story that will have you rooting until the end.

Ohixiho
This book represents the fulfilment of a request made by my dad's first cousin, Charlie Fraser, in May 1973, when, at the age of 92, he gave me a somewhat weathered brown envelope stuffed with documents to be used in writing his official biography "later." It is unclear what he meant by "later," but now, after more than 40 years, his request is finally being honoured.Had he been born a few generations later, Charlie might have become another Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple Computer) or Usain Bolt (world champion sprinter). Born in 1881 in the small town of Cookshire in Quebec's Eastern Townships, Charles Clark Fraser was a man who was, in many respects, miles ahead of his time. In spite of significant disabilities, this remarkable man's long life was punctuated by many unique accomplishments in a wide variety of fields. Rarely has a single individual practiced so many vocations over a lifetime. To borrow a line from the 18th century nursery rhyme "Rub-a-dub-dub," he was neither "a butcher, a baker nor candlestick maker," but he was almost everything else. Charlie was a gold prospector, an inventor, a woodsman, an athlete, a mathematician, a chemist, a fox rancher, a numismatist, a philatelist, a photographer, a museum curator, an astronomer, an animal trainer, a dentist, a philanthropist and a jack of all trades. Although a lifelong bachelor, he was, strangely enough, very much a family man.While known to most people simply as "Charlie," he used different monikers when referring to himself. In correspondence and legal documents he signed his name as "C.C. Fraser." In less formal notes he used only his initials, "CCF." Very often his signature was accompanied by the word "OHIXIHO" as though it was his address or even a part of his name. The real meaning of OHIXIHO is left for the reader to discover.

Upon entering 1st grade in 1953, he didn't meet the readin', writin' & 'rithmatic developmental milestones regarded as acceptable by school administrators.

George Washington and Alexandria

No other city in America had the impact that Alexandria had on George Washington's personal life and professional career. From his first job as surveyor until the last day of his life, Washington was supported by his neighbors, friends, and family from Alexandria. Alexandrians helped make him the father of our nation. In return, Washington helped shape the city and, by extension, the new American nation.Washington's half brothers were the first landowners and trustees to the city of Alexandria, and prominent local families like the Fairfaxes were influential in Washington's life. Alexandria merchants, John Carlyle, John Dalton, and William Ramsay, did business with Washington and supported him during the French and Indian War and Revolutionary War. During the Revolutionary War, other citizens like John Fitzgerald and Robert Harrison served as his aides de camp, and doctors like James Craik and William Brown served Washington and his family. After the war, Washington helped start the Alexandria Academy and the Potomac Company, and he was a shareholder in the Bank of Alexandria. He was an active member in Alexandria's Christ Church.While Washington's home was Mount Vernon, his hometown was Alexandria. It was fitting that the city would celebrate his return from the Revolutionary War, see him off as president, and build enduring memorials to his legacy.

A Life in Service
Back cover suggestionIt all began with medicine.Trained as an anaesthetist and later drawn into humanitarian work, Farzin Rahmani's life has unfolded across operating theatres, remote communities, and places far from any spotlight. One day caring for patients, the next helping to build schools, support young people, or explain modern ideas in settings where resources were scarce but commitment was not.A Life in Service is a reflective and gently humorous memoir about choosing purpose over recognition. It traces a journey shaped not by isolated achievements, but by continuity - how small beginnings grow into lasting initiatives, sustained by patience, collaboration, and the quiet support of many hands.Warm, honest, and deeply human, this is a story of responsibility shared rather than claimed, and of work intended to endure beyond the individual. It reminds us that meaningful lives are often lived quietly, guided by perseverance, humility, and a sense of humour when plans don't unfold as expected.This is not a story of arrival, but of commitment - and of service that continues.

Tales of Old Texas or The Adventures of Bullfrog
In his autobiography, Mark Twain stated, "In the small town of Hannibal, Missouri, when I was a boy, everybody was poor but didn't know it, and everybody was comfortable and did know it." This comment certainly applied to Cleburne, Texas, where Reed grew up from the mid-1940s through the 1950s. At least this was true on his side of town, northeast Cleburne across the Santa Fe railroad tracks. He lived on Sabine Street, and it was still just graveled even when he graduated from high school in 1959. Just about everybody on his street still had outdoor johns even then. Reed has been writing bimonthly articles for his hometown newspaper, the Cleburne Times-Review, since 2016, detailing the zany escapades, ludicrous stunts, and laughable situations he would place himself in from time to time as regular as clockwork. Mix a gullible youngster with a prankster of an uncle and a daredevil father, and anything goes. The incidents were many: a broken arm from falling off a donkey that his Uncle O. B. placed him on, a sore head from attempting to butt down a door after drinking what his uncle said was goat's milk, being put in a jail cell at the age of twelve for stealing a thirty-five-cent wheel bearing for his bicycle, proving pathetic both as a fighter and a football player, he and two friends smoking an entire carton of Luckies in two and a half hours. The list is interminable. Unfortunately, as he grew older, he really did not outgrow this "propensity for absurdity" but continued to demonstrate it on a frequent basis as his family would agree.

Above the Abyss
Step out over the abyss and discover the incredible story of professional slackliner Friedi K羹hne overcoming personal limits, grappling with mental toughness, and achieving greatness from thousands of feet in the air.Slacklining is an ever-evolving extreme sport in which an athlete must walk across a thin line of flexible webbing from one point to another. What once began as a trendy hobby--with a person balancing just a foot or two off the ground between two trees--has now evolved into intense feats of athleticism, including performing flips, twists, and other tricks across the slackline (tricklining) and achieving incredible balancing acts from, for some intrepid athletes, heights upwards of 6,000 feet (highlining). In Above the Abyss, author and professional slackliner Friedi K羹hne dives into his slackline journey, from doing tricks as a kid on trampolines and park benches to trying his first highline at 18 years old. Along the way, K羹hne learns how to train his body to achieve balance, find focus, and stay resilient. His love of slacklining takes him all over the world as he competes for world records, achieves personal milestones, and ultimately discovers how physical and mental limits can be overcome if we don't allow our fears to hold us back. From nail-biting descriptions of highline adventures to practical advice and strategies that have carried K羹hne between mountains and skyscrapers, Above the Abyss captures the passion, struggles, and determination at the center of one man's pursuit of slackline greatness.

Unwanted even before birth, Tracee L. Hunt has a mother who despised her and took every opportunity to make her feel insignificant.

Her mother's favorite phrase "I HOLD THE KEY" reinforced the message that Hunt's life was totally controlled by her mother and she should never forget it. From the crushing revelation at age twelve of who her real father is to taking on motherly responsibilities for her baby brother at age thirteen, Hunt's adolescence was marked by emotional neglect and an aching need for love and validation. "At sixteen, she was devastated when her protector, her older brother, left for college, which only paved the way for the wrath of her mother to intensify.

Emotional wounds from the past can break you, or you can reframe them and change your perspective. By sharing her insights and encouraging readers to examine their own traumas, Hunt offers hope and encouragement to anyone struggling with adversity, whether past or present. Her honesty and courage in telling her no-holds-barred story is an inspiring message of resilience. Emotional pain does not have to be passed down from generation to generation. It's possible to turn life's traumas into life's triumphs - even when forgiveness seem impossible.
Life In Its Rawest Form
An inspiring true story of how far hope in the heart of a young, abused, and disadvantaged child can take her. This is the story of Qiana - a young girl whose body and soul are battered by abuse, neglect, and abandonment. She grows up in an environment impoverished by drug- and alcohol-addicted parents. She dreams of and hopes for a better life, wishing she could morph into a life of pure peace and happiness. But extenuating circumstances throughout her childhood and young adulthood prevent her from enjoying that life. Instead, the adversity and oppression she and her siblings frequently endure keep that nostalgic dream tucked away in a far-off place. This young Qiana often wonders why she was born into these circumstances, and why others, perhaps more deserving of such circumstances, were not. She questions whether God is punishing her for being born. She has a hard time understanding why anyone, especially a child, must endure so much pain and hardship. Daily life for Qiana was a constant worry. She worried about her own and her siblings' well-being and safety. She worried about how to keep her mother from getting high or intoxicated. There simply was no room left in her world to experience the joys of just being a child. Eventually, the young girl is separated from her family and placed in foster homes, group homes, and shelters. When she becomes a mother at the age of 15, her hopes for a brighter future diminish somewhat, yet she continues to believe that future will be possible. Her journey is riddled with struggles. Nothing comes easy. Qiana understands that in order to have a better outcome for the future, she has to think differently. Among her toughest challenges are not allowing her mother's addictions and poor choices to affect her own choices, and not following in her mother's footsteps and those of others around her. With a sliver of hope, with cuts, bruises, and a wounded spirit, Qiana is fiercely determined to persevere in conquering her past and to exceed society's expectations. Her misfortunes inspire her to forge a better future. Though not a single day is easy as she pursues her dream, she never stops dreaming, and she never gives up. She perseveres, scars from the past being the only real help she has. Somehow, she figures out how to use her scars and experiences as opportunities for the future she's dreamed of for so long. Regardless of the odds, Qiana relentlessly searches for the future of her dreams. She works tirelessly, she overcomes old obstacles--and, early on, she achieves success. Qiana's marvelous story of hope, inspiration, determination, and her tested formula for success can help others who want to beat their own odds--regardless of what has come before--to triumph over the impossible. Quotes: "I couldn't give up or look back, because no one else had my back. The more I understood that, the more I pushed myself to work harder each day." "As overwhelming as it could sometimes be, failure was not an option." "Regardless of how dark the past may have been, there is always hope for a brighter future."

Begging Faith: The Assault on Virtue and Family is the Christian edition of Vol. 1 of the Lipstick and War Crimes Series. Vol 1 introduces us to the mind boggling reality of gender sculpting, using some of the female icons of the last 70 years, and shows that the assault on family values is not random.

Who is trying to change our idea of "normal" and why? The true history of Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn, Gloria Steinem, Madonna, Shirley McClain, Miley Cyrus, Beyonc矇 Knowles, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Alice Walker and more, comes to light in this expos矇 on feminism and our scripted ideas of gender and blurred gender. Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama, and Warren Beatty come onstage to show us the male side of the program. We are all slowly waking up to the fact we have been socially engineered our entire lives. With study, the word Satanic becomes forensic.

We usually take the world's values for granted. Now you won't. Lipstick refers to exaggerated feminine energy, and war crimes refers to exaggerated male energy. Begging Faith is replete with over 100 color images and over 50 references for your wondering mind.

How to Build
What had seemed like a straightforward next step in adulthood turned into a complicated and emotional rollercoaster for twenty-nine-year-old artist Ariane Roesch when she and her (now) husband decided to build their home in Houston, Texas. To make the venture financially feasible, they moved into a 20 ft. shipping container on their property without electricity, water, sewer, or even a fence. Over the course of two years, they managed or assisted in all aspects of the construction and built their new life, slowly regaining standard comforts such as running water and continuous electricity. Roesch guides readers through her journey to homeownership, listing documents needed to apply for a construction loan, items necessary to file for a building permit, and how to calculate debt-to-income ratio--weaving a practical how-to guide into an enticing narrative. Her story is a meditation on affordable housing, the student loan crisis, and what happens when a generation can't afford to invest in their community."How to Build: a House, a Life, a Future" exposes the self-sufficiency and resourcefulness that explains why many are still able to call Houston their home.
