All We Need Is a Pair of Pliers


Book Description

The inspiring story of how God saved a rebellious young man and inspired him to help countless others through his international wheelchair organization. Mark Richard was in his early teens when his parents divorced. From then on, he and his brothers grew up with minimal parental supervision. He also struggled with undiagnosed learning disabilities which led to failures in school. These circumstances led Mark to a rime of rebellion during the days of the hippy culture and drugs. Yet, throughout it all, Mark always sought something “more” in his life. Miraculously, God caught Mark’s attention and he was saved. Though he was totally unqualified for the ministry that God planned for him, he followed the path with faith and courage. If Mark had taken others’ advice, he would never have driven a trailer full of wheelchairs to Guatemala in 1988. But over time, that act of obedience grew into a ministry that has impacted hundreds of thousands. All We Need is a Pair of Pliers shows how Mark developed The Beeline, an organization that offers appropriate wheelchair to the millions across the globe who need them. Throughout its pages, readers learn that all they need to say is, “You know what, I think God can use me!”

I Should Have Written A Book


Book Description

William Grannetino served in the US navy during World War II. From the day he landed on Omaha Beach to the morning he sailed out of the Pacific theatre for the last time, he was surrounded by violence, trauma, death, and a comradery unparalleled in civilian life. Through the pen of Grannetino’s son, readers are provided a glimpse of a sailor’s gut-wrenching realities of war as he relates details about little-known landings that happened ahead of the initial D-Day assault and unique facts somehow lost in history. Compelling descriptions of street to street fighting in the city of Caen, the urgency of rushing military support to the Battle of the Bulge, and the terror of Kamikaze attacks in the Pacific, transport readers right to the battle zone. From the jubilation over the end of hostilities to the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Tom Grannetino has captured his father’s stories and crafted an historical and deeply personal account of one man’s experiences in the Second World War.

The River to Glory Land


Book Description

Miami in the 1920’s is a city with two faces. By day, it’s a dazzling beacon of industry; when the sun goes down, neon signs flash and decadence reigns. As Prohibition takes hold, speakeasies and illicit distilleries spring up alongside lavish mansions. Nothing can slow the influx of tourists thirsty for strong liquor—or quell the greed of those eager to provide it. Caught between these two worlds, and two very different men, beautiful Lily Strickland throws herself into re-building her grandparents’ Art Deco hotel while reveling in everything the city’s nightlife has to offer a blonde-bombshell flapper. When her shy, unassuming sister is caught up in Miami’s vicious mob underworld, Lily turns to the doctor she’s loved for years. But it may be up to a young pilot and former rumrunner to save her sister and salvage the legacy her family has worked so hard to build.
