Book Description
"Who's Sad?" extends hope to all who struggle with sadness; through everyday illustrations, Biblical examples, and practical applications. The third study guide in the Awareness to Action series encourages readers to identify sources of sadness, which have compounded to complicate their lives. Continual sadness and depression deplete your energy, your motivation, your enjoyment of life and your physical health. How many times have you heard a pastor or Christian friend say, "God is the answer to all your problems?" How many times have you thought, "Sure? How can that be? My life is in shambles. I have come to the end of my rope. I don't think God remembers who I am. He seems so distant and unapproachable." God does love you. Look to Jesus. He felt every emotion as you have. You can have confidence in Him. He knows what He is talking about. You can trust Him. BARBARA L. KING spent her childhood as a missionary's kid in Trinidad, West Indies. She was 10 years old when her family returned to the U.S. After completing High School, she earned an A.A. degree from Penn Wesleyan College in Allentown, PA., and a B.A. degree in Religion from Marion College, Marion, IN. King married in 1973. She and her husband have three children and three grandchildren. After surviving two major car accidents, she was impressed to write the Awareness to Action series of study guides. King has observed and experienced the ups and downs of emotions. Her objective is to assist Christians living with the negative side of emotions. Christians don't have to live under their circumstances or emotions. God has provided a better way to live. "Who's Afraid?" and "Who's Angry?" are currently available on Amazon.com. Following "Who's Sad?" the next in series will be "Who's Loved?"

Book Description
The Serpent's Plumes analyzes contemporary Nahua cultural production, principally bilingual Nahuatl-Spanish xochitlajtoli, or "poetry," written from the 1980s to the present. Adam W. Coon draws on Nahua perspectives as a decolonizing theoretical framework to argue that Nahua writers deploy unique worldviews—namely, ixtlamatilistli ("knowledge with the face," which highlights the value of personal experiences); yoltlajlamikilistli ("knowledge with the heart," which underscores the importance of affective intelligence); and tlaixpan ("that which is in front," which presents the past as lying ahead of a subject rather than behind). The views of ixtlamatilistli, yoltlajlamikilistli, and tlaixpan are key in Nahua struggles and effectively challenge those who attempt to marginalize Native knowledge production.

Book Description
It all began when the Geismans son, Mike, was born with numerous fractures, some of which had occurred in the womb before birth. The cause was osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that, at the time, was thought to be so rare that the only information the delivering physician could provide was a brief description in a medical textbook. Wanting to share their story about living with this rare disorder, Gemma recounts Mikes life experiences, from his birth to his growing up years, describing with candid detail how caring for Mike was like handling an extremely fragile china doll. She illustrates the difficulties of the lonely, early years, the ambivalent and upsetting feelings and the reluctance to let go as Mike struggled to live a normal and independent life. Believing that her familys experiences with the disease were too valuable not to be shared, Gemma tells of her attempts to get her story published, breaking through finally with a story and two follow-up pieces in Redbook magazine. Gemma also shares how she established, together with other parents, the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation (OIF), the only national organization that sponsors research and serves families affected by OI. From the Seeds of Sadness is a poignant story of unconditional love, of joys and sorrows, and of lessons learned. It recounts the Geisman familys journey through the complexities of raising a breakable baby, how they conquered fear and anguish and turned what they thought to be an agonizing burden into a gift of hope for generations to come. Heart wrenching but inspiring, this memoir is a symbol of courage and hope for others who are facing the difficult challenges of raising a child with an incurable illness

Book Description
An Enduring Passion This is a historical love story set in the early 1800's (1830-1840). It is about the love between two of my ancestors, my fourth great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Their names are Woodard Foutch and Morning Nantanoah. They meet, fall in love, and develop a passionate and enduring relationship which carries them together through hardships of various kinds. Woodard's heritage is from his paternal and maternal ancestors who came to the United States from Germany (Prussia). The original German surname is Pfautz. From there the English version became Fouts, Foutch, and Fouch. Morning Nantanoah is a Cherokee woman from the far western part of Virginia. Morning's name in Cherokee is Awendela. I have chosen to use her Cherokee name, instead of the translated name in English, throughout this work. Awendela is a young woman of nineteen at the beginning of the story and she lives with her parents. Woodard is a white man of European descent. His ethnic heritage is Czechoslovakian, not German, even though his family emigrated to the United States from Germany (Prussia). Woodard works as a scout for the U. S. army. His outpost is a day's journey from the Cherokee village where Awendela lives. He is twenty and Awendela is nineteen when they meet at Glistening Creek under tenuous circumstances in the opening scene in the text. These are real people but I have built around them a story which is fiction. I have endeavored to do my research and make my information as factual as possible. This includes everything from genealogical records to verifying which plants and flowers are native to Virginia. So, the people who are in my lineage and the timeline reflect actual people and dates in so far as possible. The environment around the far western part of Virginia is also described as factually as possible. Cherokee names, customs, heritage, and life style are also the basis of my descriptions concerning these things. The story has hooks into the Trail of Tears, the tragic relocation of the Cherokee to west of the Mississippi into Tahlequah, Oklahoma. This work of fiction involves real major historical events as the backdrop for this story. The story includes the courtship of Awendela by Woodard, their marriage, and the first five of their seven children: James, Didama, Nancy, Alexander, and Andrew. The last child in the story, Andrew, is in my lineage and is my third great-grandfather on my father's side of the family tree. The story ends in 1840 with the birth of Andrew Foutch. An epilogue has been included at the end of the story to describe what transpired in terms of genealogical information and the fictional story around these real people. The description of these ancestors of mine attempts to account for where people were born and the life events surrounding those circumstances and other adventures. I hope you do enjoy this novel. It has been crafted with enthusiasm and love for family.

Book Description
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 Sadly, love knows too well the abused, betrayed, neglected, abandoned, rejected, and cheated, just to name a few. Loves gift of joy and trust quickly fades. Loves flame quietly becomes a smoldering ember. Walls are built, a dark fortress within, protects a heart that breaks. A Stick and a Stone was written to reach out to those who are hurting. The path of life these days is not an easy road to travel. Praises lifted that we do not have to travel this road alone. I was abandoned at nine months of age, placed in Saint Vincents Orphanage, and adopted by the age of six. By the age of 14, the streets had become safer. Abuse had become the norm throughout life. A Stick and a Stone was written to help those who are hurting, broken, and crushed in spirit. My prayer is that the messages found in my writings will give others the same strength, hope, and love that I have found in Christ.
