Book Description
In America's Jubilee distinguished historian Andrew Burstein presents an engrossing narrative that takes us back to a pivotal year in American history, 1826, when the reins of democracy were being passed from the last Revolutionary War heroes to a new generation of leaders. Through brilliant sketches of selected individuals and events, Burstein creates an evocative portrait of the hopes and fears of Americans fifty years after the Revolution. We follow an aged Marquis de Lafayette on his triumphant tour of the country; and learn of the nearly simultaneous deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the 4th of July. We meet the ornery President John Quincy Adams, the controversial Secretary of State Henry Clay, and the notorious hot-tempered General Andrew Jackson. We also see the year through the eyes of a minister's wife, a romantic novelist, and even an intrepid wheel of cheese. Insightful and lively, America's Jubilee captures an unforgettable time in the republic’s history, when a generation embraced the legacy of its predecessors and sought to enlarge its role in America’s story.

Book Description
In the isolated ski-resort town of Gold Flume, longtime Sheriff Jay Isaacs, prepares to confront three teens for a condo break-in. On his way to the county seat of Aureole, with the teens in custody in the dead of winter, an earthquake shakes the mountain and creates an avalanche which seals off the small town from the rest of civilization. No passage out of town, no electricity, no Wi-Fi. And with the spring melt, the town will soon be underwater. In Joanne Greenberg's Jubilee Year, the world is flipped upside down as the town must revert to the old days and old skills to survive a brutal winter with no electricity, no Wi-Fi, no cell phones, no modern conveniences. It's a clash of culture, values, age and youth, as a divided town must come together to survive. Joanne Greenberg was born in Brooklyn, New York, and was graduated from American University, Washington, D.C., with a major in anthropology and English literature. She also studied at the University of London and the University of Colorado. In 1955, she married Albert Greenberg, who encouraged her to write her first book, The King's Persons, an account of the York Massacre. This has been followed by 15 novels and four collections of short stories. Her most famous work is the classic I Never Promised You A Rose Garden which was adapted into a 1977 movie and a 2004 play of the same name. Her book, In This Sign, was made into a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie called Love Is Never Silent.

Book Description
Jubilee Day is a page-turning thriller ripped from today's headlines. Set in November 2011, a mysterious group calling itself Jubilee is assassinating prominent conservatives-the chief justice of the Supreme Court; a former, but still powerful, vice president; several of the bankers who profited from the crash of '07-with a simple warning: Six will die, every day, until you start sharing your wealth and power. As the Jubilees make good on their threat and law enforcement proves unable to stop them, America's leaders are forced to choose: risk personal death by defying Jubilee or acquiesce to their demands, which include a progressive tax on millionaires, caps on executive compensation, cutting military spending in half, and, the key to it all, a national Jubilee-the forgiveness of all debts.

Book Description
120 JUBILEES: The Creation Jubilee Timeline Reconstructed From Historical Data. This is a definitive work, demonstrating the historical Timeline of the Jubilees Cycle started at Creation. Using only verifiable historical records, this book reconstructs the Jubilee Cycle used in history to record events. Included are the verifiable dates for the Exodus, and many other historical events that were dated relative to the Jubilee Cycle. There are enough objective historical records to demonstrate that this Timeline cannot be shifted in either direction, not even by one year. This Timeline then becomes the backbone for reconstructing all of chronology. This book also provides the evidence that Genesis 6:3 and Daniel 9:24 are prophecies referring to Jubilee Cycles, ending in September 2023. Written for the layperson to understand, it does not matter which religion you prefer, everyone needs to read this book.
