Book Description
Raised in a poverty lifestyle, as a five-year-old boy, I was traumatized due to a life-changing accident. I was later confined to a hospital bed at St. Anthony's Hospital in Amarillo, Texas. I lost half of my eyesight, but that was only the beginning of my challenging experiences. Growing up was a living nightmare as I discovered how lonely life could be. Kids made fun of my appearance. The jokes continued throughout grade school, junior high, and even high school. I had doubts about a lot of things in life until God surprised me with yet another talent, or another person in my life. God put opportunities in front of me. God gave me gifts in the world of sports, which became my counseling during my youth. As a young adult, I faced yet another nightmare. I lost my wife to brain cancer and became a single dad instantly. This was one of the toughest challenges I dealt with. When things happened to me, sometimes it was because of human error, or evil in this world. And yes, sometimes God allowed certain things to happen for His reasons. God was always there to help me overcome and rise above my darkest hours. When I actually started getting to know Jesus Christ, my faith grew and things started turning around for me.

Book Description
Behind the Badge By: Milton Pool, Retired Captain Milton Pool was a policeman for thirty-four years for the Amarillo Police department. During that time he maintained a diary of interesting events. The stories in this book are real events that occurred during his tenure, stories that feature official misconduct and officers being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Pool tells the inside stories that do not appear in newspapers, such as the homicide of Katrina Moyer and how her murder was solved to the downfall of the sheriff of Potter County, Mike Shumate. Pool interviewed fugitive Captain L.R. Wynn who was convicted of murder and spent several years on the run before being captured. The interview occurred one day before Wynn died of cancer. Pool has worked for many chiefs during his time at the department; one chief in particular had a stormy beginning. He also includes a comical situation involving a can of peaches and how it solved a crime of indecent exposure which is a must read. This is Pool’s second book about the police department. His first book, Cops Are People Too, was purchased by many friends who encouraged him to pen the second book.

Book Description
On March 15, 1937, Don Nordine was born the last of nine children in a poor Oklahoma family. He learned life lessons and skills through trial and error in uncertain times in America as he grew up on the farm. Amid the early loss of his father and World War II rationing, Nordines mother led him and his brothers in the Lords Prayer and the 23rd Psalm every night. Nordine matured into a teenager who took pride in his farming skills, presided over the 4-H club, and accepted Jesus as his Savior. The farm boy transformed into a man who began building the foundation that would one day support his dreams of creating a better life even as his faith was tested again and again. From achieving success in real estate to using chalkboards in order to share gospel messages with the world, Nordine describes how he never lost his faith in God or himself, even during the most challenging times. In My Story, Don shares his journey in hopes that it will be a teaching book that encourages others to grow mentally, spiritually, and financially as they weave their way through life.

Book Description
Since its publication in 1996, George Saunders’s debut collection has grown in esteem from a cherished cult classic to a masterpiece of the form, inspiring an entire generation of writers along the way. In six stories and a novella, Saunders hatches an unforgettable cast of characters, each struggling to survive in an increasingly haywire world. With a new introduction by Joshua Ferris and a new author’s note by Saunders himself, this edition is essential reading for those seeking to discover or revisit a virtuosic, disturbingly prescient voice. Praise for George Saunders and CivilWarLand in Bad Decline “It’s no exaggeration to say that short story master George Saunders helped change the trajectory of American fiction.”—The Wall Street Journal “Saunders’s satiric vision of America is dark and demented; it’s also ferocious and very funny.”—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “George Saunders is a writer of arresting brilliance and originality, with a sure sense of his material and apparently inexhaustible resources of voice. [CivilWarLand in Bad Decline] is scary, hilarious, and unforgettable.”—Tobias Wolff “Saunders makes the all-but-impossible look effortless.”—Jonathan Franzen “Not since Twain has America produced a satirist this funny.”—Zadie Smith “An astoundingly tuned voice—graceful, dark, authentic, and funny—telling just the kinds of stories we need to get us through these times.”—Thomas Pynchon

Book Description
David Brooks wrote in The Second Mountain, “A pilgrimage is a journey undertaken in response to a story.” My life story has been lived in response to God’s story revealed in the Bible. This book is about the highways I have traveled in obedience to the Voice of the Holy breaking into my successes and failures, desires and doubts, and leading me by the power of grace in ever merciful and transforming ways. If you are drawn to my story, it is because the same Voice is calling you to share the adventure of a lifetime in following Jesus as he set his face to go up to Jerusalem. Through my story may you hear Aslan’s (Christ’s) invitation, “Come further in! Come further up!” This story travels by way of the “highways to Zion” (Ps 84:5–7). Those highways become deeply paved in the hearts and minds of those who work for the healing of the world and who bring the blessings of the reign of God to barren, dry, and thirsty lands.
