Five Honorable Men


Book Description

John Restin, Frank Smith, Russ Johnson, and Wade Ross were brought together by the Kennedy campaign. Now they are all Kennedy loyalists and beginning to live the life they have always wanted. Things change when they find out that John F. Kennedy is slowly dying from a concealed health problem. With his death, all of JFK's work and the men's hopes would go down the drain. That is, unless they make him die a hero. Wade has no doubt that assassinating Kennedy is the best plan. Russ isn't so sure. If everyone isn't in agreement, the plan will be shot down. Wade can't take that risk. Russ would have to die. Once the obstacles are eliminated, Wade begins a foolproof plan to assassinate JFK. He would need to make sure his name never came up at all; the blame would have to be on someone else. Lee Harvey Oswald is the perfect scapegoat. Succeeding in the assassination gives Wade a sense of accomplishment, and he feels more satisfied than ever before. He knows that it's just a matter of time before he kills again. When Wade reads about Martin Luther King Jr.'s planned Poor People's Campaign march on Washington, Wade knows it is time again. The black civil rights movement isn't finished; if King leads another movement, the civil rights movement will die from lack of leadership. Martin Luther King Jr. would have to die. Robert F. Kennedy might know too much. He would have to die too. It doesn't take long for Wade's friends, Frank and John, to catch on. Their knowledge threatens his very existence. Will Wade succeed in killing them too, or can someone put a stop to Wade's madness? What will happen to the Five Honorable Men?

The Five Marks of a Man


Book Description

A boy doesn't automatically become a man at age 18. What differentiates a man from a boy is the way he lives. A boy lives day to day, wants to be MVP, plays, wants the reassurance of the crowd, and is a predator. A man has a vision for his life, is a team player, works, has the courage to take a minority position, and is a protector. These are the five marks of a man. It's not enough to just know them. A real man aggressively pursues them on a daily basis. Drawing from his own experience and the lives of others, pastor Brian Tome calls on men to examine themselves and take steps in the direction of a fully realized manhood that honors God, respects women, elevates others, and works purposefully for an end greater than their own satisfaction or pleasure. It's time for men to step into their honorable place in the world and lean into a new reality--one defined by strength, purpose, and honor.

For Gods, Ghosts and Ancestors


Book Description

Offerings of various kinds – food, incense, paper money and figures – have been central to Chinese culture for millennia, and as a public, visual display of spiritual belief, they are still evident today in China and in Chinatowns around the world. Using Hong Kong as a case study, Janet Scott looks at paper offerings from every conceivable angle – how they are made, sold, and used. Her comprehensive investigation touches on virtually every aspect of Chinese popular religion as it explores the many forms of these intricate objects, their manufacture, their significance, and their importance in rituals to honor gods, care for ancestors, and contend with ghosts. Throughout For Gods, Ghosts and Ancestors, paper offerings are presented as a vibrant and living tradition expressing worshippers' respect and gratitude for the gods, as well as love and concern for departed family members. Ranging from fake paper money to paper furniture, servant dolls, cigarettes, and toiletries – all multihued and artfully constructed – paper offerings are intended to provide for the needs of those in the spirit world. Readers are introduced to the variety of paper offerings and their uses in worship, in assisting worshippers with personal difficulties, and in rituals directed to gods, ghosts, and ancestors. We learn of the manufacture and sale of paper goods, life in paper shops, the training of those who make paper offerings, and the symbolic and artistic dimensions of the objects. Finally, the book considers the survival of this traditional craft, the importance of flexibility and innovation, and the role of compassion and filial piety in the use of paper offerings.
