I Hate My Son-In-Law
Please note: If you are looking for a novel, story or how-to manual about getting revenge, this book is not for you. I Hate My Son-In-Law is for those who enjoy dark humor, as it relates to the subject of spiteful revenge. (Petty malicious desire to annoy, frustrate, humiliate or cause harm to another person.) Each page simply presents a hypothetical mischievous even ludicrously trick or prank to make the reader laugh. (Laughter can help reduce stress and frustration, which might help improve the relationship with a son-in-law.) This book may be offensive to some readers. A few examples from the book are provided below in the description.Description: When your daughter was born, you probably thought about, may have even dreamed about, the kind of man that she would (you hoped her to) marry. That perfect man, the man who you would be proud of - your Son-In-Law.That wonderful day finally arrives. Your daughter gets married. But to your horror, disapproval and disappointment, your daughter married a loser, an idiot, a real dickhead or wanker, someone you truly despise. From that day forward, you may had thought all was lost, that there was nothing you could do.This happened to me, and that's what I thought.Over the months and years that followed, I thought about and later put into action 100 things that enabled me to get my revenge. Here are a few of the things I did to my son-in-law: - No 16 I stuck my finger down my throat and barfed all over the hood of his car. Barfing on the hood of my son-in-law's car was a great way to start my (and his) day. As I wanted to leave him a memory of that day, I did my barfing on a hot sunny day when my son-in-law was sick in bed with the flu. Doing so gave the sun time to bake the barf onto the hood of his car....- No. 21 I put some fresh dog poop in his jacket pocket. The wet, soft and sticky kind worked best. He might not have put his hand in that pocket straight away, but that wasn't a problem. The smell was sure to get worse as the day and evening progressed....- No. 40 I farted on his pillow, more than once. The more farts I pumped out on and into his pillow the merrier. This one I performed often. I simply needed to have access to his pillow when I visited my daughter at her home....- No. 85 I ordered Suzy the sex doll for him, to be delivered to his home while he was at work and his wife (my daughter) was sure to be home. I wanted my daughter to be the one to receive Suzy, so I arranged for her to be delivered when the son-in-law definitely wouldn't be at home....This book demonstrates that a creative mind and taking action can enable anyone to feel a lot better when things aren't the way they want them to be.

Missionary Journeys
Missionary Journeys tells the story of my parents, missionaries in China, through the lens of their extensive China correspondence, in the 1930s and 40s. They were carrying out mission work in northeastern Hakka region of Guangdong, Kwangtung at the time, their lives threatened by Kuo Ming Tang army elements and by Japanese army detachments and airplane bombings.After WW2, the Chinese communist victory forced my parents and us children to return to Europe where my father became a parish minister in a French-Alsatian suburb of Basel, Switzerland. Besides his traditional responsibilities, father focused on disadvantaged youth, migrants, and on reconciliation with German parish across the Rhine, while mother took over the upkeep of the church and presbytery. A call from the Chinese parish in Tahiti found father spending the last eleven months of his life organizing and providing guidance to the parish, leaving behind an abundant correspondence. To let my siblings and myself finish our studies, Mother managed in northern Alsace a center for adults with special needs before retiring and passing away in Bern-Mittelland, Switzerland.Not enough has been written about this war period of the Basel Mission (Swiss Christian Missionary Society) missionaries in China. These Journeys fill a gap about the China episode, the Alsatian ministries, and the Tahiti Hakka theological conflict. Divinity students, students of theology, history, anthropology, social sciences, and those interested in mission work in the world and protestant missiology will gain an invigorating insight into missionary life.
Inferno
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "Inferno is a disturbing and masterfully told memoir, but it's also an important one that pushes back against powerful taboos. . ."--The New York Times Book Review "Explosive"--Good Morning America When Catherine Cho and her husband set off from London to introduce their newborn son to family scattered across the United States, she could not have imagined what lay in store. Before the trip's end, she develops psychosis, a complete break from reality, which causes her to lose all sense of time and place, including what is real and not real. In desperation, her husband admits her to a nearby psychiatric hospital, where she begins the hard work of rebuilding her identity. In this unwaveringly honest, insightful, and often shocking memoir Catherine reconstructs her sense of self, starting with her childhood as the daughter of Korean immigrants, moving through a traumatic past relationship, and on to the early years of her courtship with and marriage to her husband, James. She masterfully interweaves these parts of her past with a vivid, immediate recounting of the days she spent in the ward. The result is a powerful exploration of psychosis and motherhood, at once intensely personal, yet holding within it a universal experience--of how we love, live, and understand ourselves in relation to each other.

The Spirit of God continuously moves over the face of the waters in this world even in this present moment. The Trinity is a towering, majestic doctrine of the Word of God from the Holy Bible; it also has a practical application in the lives of all the people of this World. As I start this book, I say, help us! Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as I dedicated this book unto you, the One God forever. May, we, all the believers, be able to operate in the same authenticity of teamwork as the Trinity has done and continue to do. God the Father and God the Son's love that surpasses all understanding and the communion of the Holy Spirit will abide in the heart and mind of everyone in this Universe as the day of Rapture is approaching. Jesus Christ is coming soon to Judge the Living and the Dead and all the eyes shall see Him. Reading this Book will enlighten everyone's heart to the Love of the Trinity one God forever!!!

He was not considered family. He did hard, dirty tasks, with no thanks, and left home as soon as he finished high school. His difficult life continued for many years. But the man had finally achieved his long-term objectives, and he had to tell someone about it. The author was there to listen ... and learn. After leaving home at age sixteen, the man became a seaman on a tramp steamer, fought and was wounded in France during World War I, and then returned to the United States and became a carpenter. He built a house and then married. His wife was arrested for prostitution. He divorced her and gave her the house, which he considered contaminated.

By combining the two narratives, the story of the anonymous one emerged.

A Message to Our Suns - Listen up Young Man
There seems to be a big misconception in the Black community that black men don't really love their children.

I intend to give a fair perspective, as a single father of an nine year old sun, on just what life is like when you live apart from your children, and are still expected to play a major role in their lives. It's a more challenging process than you may think.

Mom Milestones
Mom records her baby's milestones, but what about her own? Where is the celebration of mom's transformation? Beginning with one-day-old mom, who may feel like she is learning a new language, Mom Milestones is a love letter to the myriad ways moms grow and adapt to motherhood. Here are significant firsts: First sleepless night. First walk with baby. First mom friend. Skills learned--how to soothe baby (sometimes); how to coax a preschooler into taking medicine. Mom's likes (adapting pop songs to lullaby format; gathering intelligence from other moms) and dislikes (emptying the lunch box with mystery smells; requests for video games). There's Bedtime: The Board Game; crafts mom enjoys (no glitter or glue, thanks!); and the ABCs of motherhood (E for ennui). While there might not be a road map for motherhood, Mom Milestones tracks both the memorable and slightly forgettable guideposts along the way--sunrises, snack plates, cuddles, laughter, and astonishment--because, as the saying goes, the days are long, but the years are short.
