Nancy Rowland
Conformed to the Christian way of life or transformed by the power of the living Lord? The world applies pressure, conforming people to 'expected behaviors,' but God, through the Holy Spirit, releases the power within transforming people to follow His will rather than the will of the world. Enjoy new author Nancy Rowland's simple, powerful examples of transforming experiences. She cites familiar biblical characters, examples from nature, and shares her own personal life experiences to convey the metamorphosis, transformation that takes place when God, not the world, is in control, making things Never the Same Again!
Dorothy Scearcy
It has been said that a woman that will tell her
age will tell everything. This is not true! In this book Dorothy Scearcy
tells it all, but to quote her, "It will be a cold day in the tropics before
I will tell you my age." She does indeed reveal it all:
How she almost joined a sex club at the age of
eight,
How she could have been president of the PTA but
was kicked out of the organization, and
What happened when the dead body in the barn turned
out not to be so dead.
These and many more
true stories are told
with wit, charm and humor in "Circus Peanuts, Gold Fish and Virgil Ran Off
With The Cleaning Lady". It is a perfect companion for an airplane ride, car
trip or an evening on the safa. Dorothy is a great storyteller and this is a
very entertaining read. When asked to comment on this, her first book,
Dorothy said, "If you are not amused or entertained by my book there is
something very peculiar about you and I'd just keep it quiet if I were you."

Tous (Hello). Whether
you are a friend and student of Indian culture, or a Southern Arapaho tribal
member, this book provides an exceptional opportunity to celebrate the trail,
the trace, of the Arapaho Tribe. This book unfolds a non-fictional account of
the migration of one plains tribe--the Southern Arapaho and their oppressed
life style on the Cheyenne and Arapaho Reservation in Oklahoma Territory. The
tale continues by praising an infamous l Readers will find the book’s research on reservation life, anecdotes, photographs, the disclosure of tribal customs, and a comprehensive Index to be most enlightening and interesting. The book’s Index may well serve family historians in that it recognizes over one-hundred Native Americans (mostly Southern Arapahos and Cheyennes), fifty reservation employees, twenty-five military personnel, and forty-seven other linked persons. Hahou (Thank you).
