Pacific Book Review The crash of shattering glass portended much more for Anne and Tom Ryan than an angry mob?s attack on their home. It signaled an end to the life they had built together. Caught between an increasingly dictatorial government and media claims of insurrection by their son David who had disappeared many years before, the Ryans were thrust into perilous and overpowering events that forced them to reevaluate all of their preconceptions. As they fought to regain control of their lives, they sought to discover what David was really doing and why. It soon became apparent that those two goals were inextricably linked, and that the answers they were seeking brought not only threat, but the promise of opportunities they had never imagined."
"When Lola Jean, Cleveland?s most spellbinding go-go dancer, vanishes after her midnight set at the Top Hat Club, her roommate knows something?s off. The police shrug it off. So she calls on Rose Rowan. Rose isn?t your typical private eye. She?s earned degrees in philosophy from the University of Chicago, and is recovering from a dissertation-induced breakdown involving Wittgenstein and a lot of black coffee. Now, she channels her razor-sharp logic into solving the kind of cases that don?t fit into tidy syllogisms. But tracking Lola Jean pulls Rose into a smoky labyrinth of retro bars, rogue cops, tech secrets, and Irish mobsters, all hiding behind the faux-bamboo curtain of Cleveland?s underground Tiki nightlife. At the center of it all is an unhinged software engineer with a fixation on Tiki ?perfection? and a cocktail recipe no one is allowed to see. As Rose follows the trail through velvet shadows and neon lies, she?ll have to decide how far she?s willing to go?and what she?s willing to become?to bring Lola Jean back alive. Smart, stylish, and a little unhinged, Swing, Baby! Swing! is a modern noir with a philosophical twist."

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. There were thirteen disciples, and many such as Paul, Barnabas, Luke and Silas who led the early church. There were also angels who conveyed messages from God, and men who opposed Jesus. 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!

Author David Waddell draws on two references related to baseball to form his thoughts on the choices one has when deciding between grace and legalism. One is a statement from Yogi Berra, who said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." The other reference deals with a short skit performed by the comedy duo, Abbott and Costello, titled "Who's on First." Waddell points out that every follower of Christ faces a constant fork in the road, where they must choose the path of grace or the path of legalism. Waddell provides examples from his life that relate to the situations where Jesus dealt with the Pharisees and the letters of the Apostle Paul, whose ministry constantly pointed people to grace by faith rather than adherence to Jewish law.
This Treatise is a culmination of a life journey of seeking answers to questions about the eternal state and what comes after death for believers and unbelievers, containing both scriptural facts and personal speculation. It addresses some misconceptions of the real meaning of scripture and where some traditional theologians may have been mistaken in the past. It hopes to vindicate some of Origen?s logic regarding the nature of hell and everlasting life. Origen was a brilliant theologian from the 3rd century who was condemned terribly and unfairly by the church in the 6th century. It is this writer?s hope that this treatise can bring enlightenment, encouragement and peace to all who read it, in knowing God?s true nature and plan for humanity.

"John McConnell was visiting elementary school classrooms to teach science when he came upon a shy third-grade boy who did not want to go to school. Ryan wanted to stay home and build robots. That sparked McConnell?s interest, and he discovered Ryan had an intensity for electronics uncommon for his age. The boy already had great building skills and was doing circuit drawings. The author?s curiosity led him to mentor Ryan?an arrangement that lasted well beyond college and resulted in the winning of $500,000 worth of cash, scholarships, and a Dr. Glen Seaborg week trip to the Nobel Awards. When McConnell was not mentoring Ryan, he was visiting classes in the area, presenting his program hands-on science and mentoring other students. When a school district gave him six thousand square feet of space, he created the Western Colorado Math & Science Center with over 150 exhibits. Students came on field trips from more than 100 miles away. McConnell also conducted science workshops to train teachers, capping his career of volunteerism by founding the Eureka! McConnell Science Museum in Grand Junction, Colorado."
