Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian.

War of the Worlds by Herbert George Wells (H.G. Wells) was published in 1898 at a time when he wrote a series of novels related to a number of historical events of the time. The most important of these was the unification and militarization of Germany. The story, written in a semi-documentary style, is told in the first person by an unnamed observer. It tells of the events, which happen mostly in London and the county of Surrey, England, when a number of vessels manned by aliens are fired from Mars and land on Earth.

Central Park is perhaps the most well-trod and familiar green space in the country. It is both a refuge from the city and Manhattan's very heart; a respite from the urban grind and a hive of activity all its own. Eight hundred forty-three carefully planned acres allow some 37 million visitors each year to come and get lost in a sense of nature. Unsurprisingly, the park also inspires a wealth of great writing, and here Andrew Blauner collects some of the finest fiction and nonfiction - 20 pieces in all.

In the months and weeks before the fateful November 22nd, 1963, Dallas was brewing with political passions, a city crammed with larger-than-life characters dead-set against the Kennedy presidency. These included rabid warriors like defrocked military general Edwin A. Walker; the world's richest oil baron, H. L. Hunt; the leader of the largest Baptist congregation in the world, W.A. Criswell; and the media mogul Ted Dealey, who raucously confronted JFK and whose family name adorns the plaza where the president was murdered.

In my search for truth I was compelled to write and publish my first Book entitled "AWAKENINGS". As I continued my studies and research I became aware of more truths not covered in my first book so I added a second book simply entitled "AWAKENINGS II" The third and final book of the series is of course entitled "AWAKENINGS III".

A Red-Flag Event has taken place and it appears extraterrestrials have attacked the Earth; an Earth that survived WWIII and the devastation of nuclear weapons, and planetary and cosmic devastation less than two hundred years ago. The survivors have spent over one hundred years on a distant planet populated by the Yahyel, waiting for safety clearance before they could return. There is no way we can thank the Yahyel enough for all they have done.

We could all write a book about our life's adventures, growing up and experiencing life on the planet Earth. It's like I've been living two different lives; a programmed one and a liberated one. I have had adventures, experienced romance, and started my life over at least a half dozen times. I have experienced a broken heart four different times by four different wives, but I have been single now for fourteen years!

Religion was created to provide organization and unity, with each different religion and/or denomination having their preferred way of doing things. Beliefs and opinions varied, sometimes drastically. Most major religions worshipped different gods, while some shared the belief in the same god. There have been many names for these gods with the mythology to accompany it. With so many choices, how does one know for sure who God is?

After many weeks of painful recovery, actually during my recovery, I started to experience physical changes. At first it was my personal thermostat that seemed different, as the heat and humidity bothered me more than usual, but my tolerance to cold also seemed higher than usual. My tolerance to pain became apparent later, not that I didn't feel pain, but I could withstand more pain than what was normal for me.

I actually wrote this my first book book over ten years ago but never got around to publishing it. This little book is an easy listen and could even be used as a daily devotional. Realizing that not all people believe in God or the Bible, I tried to focus on the value of the Bible as "Instructions for life" without putting up walls between those who are believers and those who are not.
