Twists & Tales is Doug's third volume of poetry and writings. This book contains a little something for everyone. You will discover poetry, tongue twisters, and tales on various themes such as faith, love, family life and hardships. Intertwined with the more serious writings you will come across thoughts filled with hilarity, absurdity and wittiness. Anyone reading this work will be enriched, inspired and entertained. Since life comes to us in quite a random fashion, Doug decided to publish this work in much the same way. At times, the reader will be treated to a poem or tale of spiritual content, only to be followed by a humorous poem or a tongue twister. Throughout the book are Twists & Tales of love and loss and living large, which will cause the reader to pause and reflect on the simple things in life. As was true for his first two books, once you pick it up you won't want to set it down until the last page has been read.

Where's God When the seasons of testing are doubly extended and the day you so long for comes not. The prayers that you pray seem to just simply stay, by the door of your lips. Where's God? When that which you've hoped in seems now to be futile and all you've put faith in goes flat. The goals you desire consumed in the fire. While the aching heart chants, Where's God? When years of firm values are now all a shaking and all that was clear turns to haze. You're losing your standing. All sides are demanding. The answer. The answer. Where's God? When finally you come to the end of all struggling. The worries, the doubts; the fears cease. You lie at His feet Christ's presence so sweet. To the quiet and believing, there's God! from Poems of the Father, Life and Laughter

In Taste the Wild Wonder, fresh new poetic voice John Mark Green takes the reader on a transformative journey, awakening the heart to see the world with new eyes. This imaginative collection explores life, mortality, meaning, creativity, love, wonder, and nature, through the windows of 71 poems and 11 interior illustrations. These poems are infused with what the Japanese call yūgen - "a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe ... and the sad beauty of human suffering" (Benito Ortolani), and wabi-sabi - the beauty of impermanent, imperfect, and transient things. Since 2014, John Mark Green has grown a worldwide following for his poetry on social media. This is his first book. From the back cover Born of the ancient star remnants in our bones and nameless longings of the human heart, this poetry collection explores the firefly flicker of existence amidst the vast reaches of time and space. Capturing feelings of awe and aching beauty which stir the imagination, it illuminates our brief but glorious moment on life's stage. Imbued with the knowledge that everything we hold beautiful is inexorably slipping through our fingers, these poems are trail markers on a journey of awakening to the wild wonder which surrounds us, leading readers on a whirlwind tour of our place in the grand tapestry of nature, with a perspective which both dazzles and delights. Praise for Taste the Wild Wonder "John Mark Green writes with soul and weaves poetry from love and bones and fire. His new book is art and includes illustrations that complement the words beautifully." Jacob Nordby, author of Blessed Are the Weird - A Manifesto for Creatives

When a ship's surgeon during a routine episode of bloodletting noticed that the sailors' blood was brighter in the tropics than in the north, he hypothesized that heat was a form of energy. When a young boy tried to visualize how a beam of light would look like by riding alongside it at the same speed, he began thinking along lines that eventually changed our views of space and time. When a student caught hay fever and went to recover on Heligoland, he started a major revolution in physics. These are but just some of the stories covered in this entertaining book that deals with the history of physics from the end of the 19th-century to about 1930. Quips, Quotes and Quanta (2nd Edition) is unique in that it contains anecdotes on physicists creating new ideas. Often the thinking of the creators of what is now called "modern physics" is revealed through quotes. Thematic and biographical in nature, this book also includes many personal incidents. This second edition has been revised to include new material: a prologue, epilogue, glossary and chronology, and photograph's as well as additional quotes and anecdotes.

My mother told me, on more than one occasion, that I was almost born in an elevator. I do not doubt that statement one iota for my life has been nothing but a series of ups and downs ever since. I really cant sit still. Even my lovely bride of almost four decades hollers at me because I twitch, sometimes violently, when I sleep. Hence the title of this latest work: Owen in Motion. Owen in Motion is Dougs fifth volume of poetry and writings. In this book the reader will be enriched, inspired, encouraged and entertained. At times, the reader will be treated to a poem or tale of spiritual content, only to be followed by a simple poem with a twist of both tongue and mind. Throughout the book are poems and writings about love and loss, marriage and family life, spiritual journeys and living large, which will cause the reader to pause and reflect on both the simple and deep things in life. As was true for his first four books, once you pick it up you will have trouble putting it down.
