Facing the Wall: a Mission

A Never-ending Journey

Trauma be it; accident, abuse or war has happened in all our lives. This story will give you a deeper understanding of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and yes PTSD can be catchy. A candid and true story. Facing The Wall: A Mission - a never-ending journey, is recipient of The Kirkus Star from ~ Kirkus Reviews A star is assigned to books of remarkable merit, as determined by the impartial editors of Kirkus Reviews ~ Best of Indie Books 2010 www.ptsd.va.gov Book Review A Vietnam vet's wife fights a long battle with her husband's post-traumatic stress disorder in this poignant memoir. When her husband Jim, a 27-year-old Marine, returned intact from Vietnam in 1969, the author hoped that the couple could resume their lives as before. But although Jim bore no physical scars from his year in combat, his psychic wounds ran deep. Indeed, he hardly seemed to have left the war. He was plagued by nightmares and flashbacks in which he would call for medevac choppers or imagine himself surrounded by enemies. He veered between hypervigilance and catatonic staring, insisted on sitting with his back to a wall so he could survey his perimeter, and was spooked by both loud noises and silence; only the soothing sound of crickets could convince him there was nothing lying in wait. Over the decades, Jim's illness took a heavy toll; he lost jobs and eventually became unemployable, withdrew emotionally from his wife and sons and endured periodic hospitalizations. (In the author's telling, the Veterans Administration long ignored the Vietnam-era PTSD epidemic and was more a hindrance than a help in coping with Jim's problems.) In her clear-eyed memoir, King draws a subtle, layered portrait of her lost soul of a husband. Sometimes he seems unreachable, sunk in memories of Vietnam and of his buddies who didn't make it back (or in guilt over his own survival) and unable to carry out the simplest project; but he also devotedly serves as a volunteer fireman and pulls himself together to help his wife through crises and grief. It is as much the author's story as Jim's, as she struggles to hold the family together and fathom the stranger her husband has become, and to reclaim her own personality from the ravages of "secondary" PTSD. With America's latest conflicts still generating victims, this is a very timely book: an anguished, unsparing, but ultimately hopeful view of the heartbreak of PTSD. An absorbing firsthand saga of war's invisible casualties. -Kirkus Discoveries

The Love of the Rose

This book is meant to be a statement to the world; a statement of encouragement and inspiration. The Love of the Rose is set to inspire and develop confidence in ones own beliefs and thoughts. To believe and think is not taboo and should be developed for all to listen, of course with respect to every one else’s opinions and beliefs, and to discuss. The Love of the Rose was written in inspiration of positive virtues that has been seen in the world through the ages. I wrote this book in the best intention to encourage people to speak up and voice their opinions all with respect and politeness. There is no right or wrong way of developing an opinion as long as it gives the world a better understanding of the various occupants of this place we call home. This book is made with the intention to show people that positive virtues and positive ways of expressing one self is what the world needs to unite, no matter what creed, political views or level of education. Brotherhood and tolerance amongst people is needed to connect peacefully and allow to freely expressing ourselves in a manner that is not judgmental or oppressive to others, this is needed in a world full of miscommunications and aggressiveness. The Love of the Rose is my feelings and my thoughts; they are not to bewilder anyone. They are there to open free speech, peace and another way of thinking. The more people who are open to their opinions: the more that one can understand. And with understanding from where our neighbors come from will bring tolerance. And with tolerance one can fight for the opinions of others and the feelings that are involved. This is a step for peace in a micro-societal way. Inner peace and tolerance comes with understanding of each others thoughts and backgrounds and with all this peace will come in a macro sense.

John the Evangelist: A Message to the Saints

John the Evangelist: A message to the Saints John took the time to write his gospel long after the other gospels had been written and before the critical challenges to the Christian Church came after the first century. John was unique in his relationship to Christ. As a young man, he knew Jesus from the time he was baptized. He must have even known him before the baptism since his mother and Jesus’ mother, Mary, were sisters. Jesus was near thirty years old when John was yet a teen age boy. Had John known Jesus he undoubtedly would have been impressed with his older cousin and would have known of Jesus’ life before he started his mission. John’s presence at the wedding in Cana is a good example of that relationship. At the later of John’s life, he saw the fruits of Jesus’ ministry as the gospel was spread throughout the world. John saw the threats to the infant church and prepared a gospel that would keep the doctrine pure. John’s Gospel served as a stalwart testimony in defending the beliefs of the Christian Church. He knew what the needs of the Saints would be down through the centuries and prepared us for the doctrinal threats. Because of the uniqueness of his writing it is analyzed as a nearly independent message, in an attempt to understand John’s message clearly. No particular secular doctrine of Christian Church philosophy is to be proven or purposefully supported. An attempt is made to understand John, as he intended, by analyzing the verses he has written one by one, just as one would read the scriptures in a study class. At times the study looks forward or back for support of his writing, but few references are made to other scriptures outside John’s writing and the investigation is limited to what John wrote. External references are used to clarity the translation and historical accuracy. Obviously, this work can only be accomplished with the support of the Holy Ghost, and this book is a simple attempt to use the spiritual power available to us to understand and learn. Many may say that this is a fool hearty attempt since they have had unreliable experiences in working with the spirit. On the other hand, if the writings are spiritual then the spirit can best interpret them for us. Great insight has been obtained by this approach and is available to the reader to strengthen him as John intended. First and foremost John’s writing is a testimony of Jesus the Christ as the Savior of the World. John was with Jesus from the beginning of his ministry and through the final persecution. To be with Christ, as John was, is to look at the Savior through his eyes. We can see as John saw all that took place with Jesus. We are well aware that Jesus was of a earthly mother and a Godly Father. The impact of this dichotomy is seldom discussed as John brings it forth. Just how human was Jesus? Did he really see and feel as another human might? John’s gospel takes us through Jesus’ life and experiences as we learn just how human he was. He obeyed his mother at Cana even thought he would have preferred not to. Jesus wept for Lazarus although he had the power to avoid the grief. Jesus’ human traits and how they changed through his experiences are discussed. Knowing that he was human, and suffered as a human, brings the Savior so much closer to us and removes any ambiguity that Jesus is the Christ. John was at Jesus’ baptism. He saw the Baptist take Jesus into the water and when he emerged he saw the sign of the dove as an indication of the Holy Ghost and the voice of the Father as he spoke. John was a young man and he wrote as he witnessed. With the signs that were displayed came the realization by the Baptist that this was indeed the Savior that he had prepared his whole life to baptize. How important it was that Jesus be baptized and that the Baptist was there to perform it. No one on earth had the power or authority to baptize the Savior. One can only imagine the happiness of t

It was safer for the world not to know any more than Jesus told in advance. We
must remember that Satan was involved to defeat Jesus and the Father. We will
never know what he could have done to defeat the plan had he known the details

Allah Is Not God and Muhammad Is the Messenger of Allah

The Qur'an Against the World

Islam presents an astonishing situation as it rejects all except those totally committing their will and mind to Allah, Muhammad, And The Qur'an, along with several other authority figures and traditions. The Bible accepts any and all who will come as humble sinners and seek the One God through the sacrifice of the Messiah of the Jews. This book is in total agreement with the Qur'an when the Qur'an says that most Jews and most Christians are evil, corrupt, and liars-by the standards of right and wrong found in the Qur'an that is. The alternative is also true and again in agreement with the Qur'an. Muslims do not and may not adhere To The teachings of the Bible, which results in being lost by biblical teachings. The simple truth of the Qur'an is that Jews and Christians do not follow the Allah of the Qur'an, except a few who become Muslim. Also true is that the Muslims do not follow the God of the Bible, except a few who accept Jesus. God of the Bible is not Allah of the Qur'an, and Allah of the Qur'an is not God of the Bible, by name, by description, by personality, by judgment, or by love. The Qur'an has its greatest error when it says it is the completion and continuation of biblical revelation. This is fully accepted by Muslims because they have been taught that the Bible is corrupted, not the true one, and they do not read the Bible.

Even the apostles of our Lord and Savior were amazingly slow at understanding
relationships built on mutual respect, love, and forgiveness rather than law. The
disciples could not imagine a marriage without them holding the threat of divorce.
