Book Description
After stunning the sports arena with his incredible running ability, the entire world is even more shocked when Paul escapes from a horrendous car explosion unharmed. The adoration and speculation that follow leave Paul with a swarm of admirers, and soon after, he begins a worldwide campaign of evangelistic revivals. He has remarkable success in his efforts, while at the same time the man who attempted his assassination collaborates with a band of conspirators in an elaborate plot to end the life of Paul, whom Paul sees as the epitome of evil. The lives of the two men repeatedly clash as one effort after another to kill Paul repeatedly fails, and Paul's ministry becomes increasingly more powerful. Those closest to Paul too are dramatically affected during that struggle, but it is only after each one of them submits to the power of God and they place themselves completely in his hands that their lives are forever changed.

Book Description
Roderic B. Davis, Sr., is better known as "Coach Barry" or "Barry." Coach Barry has been coaching since 1976, when he was 19 years old. Due to his coaching and interacting with youth and their parents, he has had plenty of opportunities to talk to both, his players and their parents, about different situations in their life. He soon found out that coaching just for that particular sport was not the only reason why he was coaching. Everyday issues and situations about day-to-day life was the priority. When Barry talked to them, not having the time to think of a politically correct response or a perfect answer, God blessed him to be able to speak to them from his heart. Barry realized he was coaching for life. Today, he still teaches and coaches basketball, while giving life lessons with a common sense approach. It is said, "Common Sense" is not all that common. From My Heart shows how regular everyday issues and situations can either be solved, or changed for the better, by using plain old common sense. From My Heart will make people sit-up and take inventory of their lives to see if there was anything they could have done better, and if there is anything they can do better to improve their life. From My Heart is a book filled with God inspired messages. It was written to help people deal with life's issues and situations. As you read, you will see Barry has a passion for children, families, and people in general, who are trying to live their lives the best way they can. These messages are about all different aspects of life. Even though common sense may not seem to be that common, sooner or later, common sense has gotta kick in.

Book Description
Backstreet By: Daniel Vincent Pierce Three teenage boys, Michael, Sean, and Brandon, seem to be typical high school students at Evan Senior High School: they love sports, parties, and having fun. They all have to deal with different things while they grow up, but they eventually find friendship and support from each other. They discover a hot new hangout, BACKSTREET. It becomes the hottest place for teenagers to party on the weekends, but it also brings more danger than anyone could imagine. The three boys, misled by their arrogance and ego, don’t realize their bad decisions can haunt them for the rest of their life. Hopefully, the readers will picture their own high school experiences while reading this book. In particular those born in the 1950’s and 1960’s and remember the riots in the late 1960’s after Dr. King’s assassination. Some readers may find that their own children and teenagers in general continue to deal with the same issues.

Book Description
On a zoo sleepover, Ivan Zelinka gets mixed up with a couple of semi-mad scientists who inject his leg with top-secret gorilla serum. Soon the muscles on his right leg are bulging and his skin is covered with thick black hair. Most high school students would be horrified by such a transformation. But did I tell you that he's the place kicker on his high school football team? Horror gives way to delight as Ivan finds himself booting fifty-yard field goals and punting the ball into the stratosphere. The Bulldogs are winning for the first time in their history. Ivan's dating the adorable Kipper Swanson. And the fans love him. He's even got his own cheer, which fans chant when he lines up to kick: "Super Booter, Super Booter, ooh, aah!" But on the flip side, he's worried about turning into a full-fledged gorilla. Goodbye, Super Booter. Hello, Gorilla Boy. And the scientist who's supposed to be working on a cure is a behemoth named Elko. When Elko's not threatening to crush someone into a ball or spray them with his personal blend of knockout gas, he's betting on football - including Ivan's high school games. By the big game, Ivan must decide whether to fully transform himself into Super Booter or return to being plain old Ivan. Fourth and Ape is a great story for anyone who loves the thrill of sports or a funny adventure story.
