Knocked Out to Heaven
This story is about a young boy who is sleeping and the burglars broke into his house and knock him out into a coma where he meets Jesus. My name is Arthur Zubyan and I wrote this book when I was at the young age of 11. When I was only three and half years old and in preschool, I started to take an interest in reading. I loved books and every day I would practice reading with my mom. I got better and better every day. When I was in kindergarten I was the most fluent reader. When I was in first grade I started to write my own small stories. In fourth grade, I had the confidence to share my stories with my friends and class mates, all the way up to fifth grade. I wrote my first finished story in fifth grade that I want to share with everyone. Thank you for allowing me to share my story.

Sober
Dragged down a wicked path of destruction...Alcohol started off as a friend that helped me relax and socialize. It slowly evolved into this manipulative monster that controlled me. As they say in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, "I had a drink and then a drink had me." As I tried to cope with my divorce and other life stressors, I leaned on alcohol more and more. A year passed, and I could count on one hand the number of days I didn't consume some form of alcohol. I regularly showed up to work hungover as I isolated from the world and spent all of my free time with my drink of choice. I was dying inside.In these pages you will walk through my journey from the depths of my disease to freedom through sobriety. You will see how my relationship with God grew as I learned to cling to Him, acknowledging that He is the only power greater than my disease of alcoholism. God helped loosen the grip alcohol had on me so that I could find Him. God led me to freedom."God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)
