"I am writing this memoir to clarify my role in creating the little ASH unit(Army Surgical Hospital) that I built at the III Corps 5th Special Forces C Team in Bien Hoa Vietnam in 1966 and 1967. I had converted the simple 40 bed convalescent dormitory upon my arrival with no major trauma capability and only an outpatient dispensary only capable of dealing with the most minor of war wounds into a mini trauma unit that had two operating rooms, a housing for the field X-ray unit and a laboratory. The unit when I left was able to provide nearly full spectrum acute care for all war injuries. Although every component of the book is not military, there is humor happening at almost every stage when I was in medicine. There are also stories where in spite of my relative inexperience (naivete) there were usually successful outcomes. That is, neither was I kidnapped nor did I end up in the stockade."

This volume by the author of “The Bible in Verse” has each of the people who feature in the story of Jesus’ ministry give their own perspective of what it was like to walk and talk with Jesus, or to lead the church in the first century.

Some Romans believed Jesus was the Son of God, others persecuted and killed Christians. Among the most grateful for the life of Jesus were the many he healed of recent or lifelong diseases and infirmities, or even death. It was the most transformative day of their lives. No other person has impacted human life and history more than Jesus. See him through the eyes of those who knew him best!

"We are so accustomed to wearing a mask, disguising ourselves from others, that we?ve successfully ended up disguised to ourselves. For the Sake of Sharing is a collection of spiritual poems and artwork, along with what the author considers random threads of transformative thinking, to help you remove that mask for good. Along with author Quintana, we must look closely at who we are. To do so, we first consider our thoughts about purpose and prayer. We strive to understand the importance of our dreams. We look back and consider the long-term effects of our earliest teachers. Finally, we celebrate how God, love, and being human delicately dance together. We all fall short of perfection, but awareness is the first step on the path to positive transformation. Hope lies in our deepest desires to evolve, do well, and experience the seemingly elusive evolution of the soul. Deepest within our seeking, though, is to have a personal relationship with God. Christ is the absolute truth, the epitome of love in one?s life. Immerse yourself in poetry and pictures while seeking Him and our truest selves."
