"There was so much to see with her newly formed eyes, but her attention was fixed on the glorious being in front of her. The light of His face illuminated the entire world around her, and for a moment that seemed like eternity, she saw and understood love." From Creation to the cross and on to the Lord's resurrection, Eve deals with her penalty and looks ahead through Biblical history to see in her dreams the "future" of her offspring as she lives out her life on earth after the fall. Eve, Wake Up is a look at the highlights of the Old Testament and the people whose lives represent the golden thread of God's plan through the ages, from the very beginning of time to the birth, death, and resurrection of the Savior of humanity, Jesus the Christ. Eve, Wake Up is a fictional account of original Eve drawn out of the author's imagination but founded on Biblical truth recorded in the Holy Word of God. The author continues to share her lifelong passion, for the deep and personal intimacy with God through the story of Eve.

From Pearl Harbor to her last and fatal voyage—the heroic story of America’s most daring World War II submarine, as told by the only surviving member of the crew. The U.S.S. Wahoo was the most successful submarine in the World War II Pacific fleet. She was the first to penetrate an enemy harbor and sink a Japanese ship. She was the first to wipe out an entire enemy convoy single-handed. In her 11 short months of life she managed an incredible 21 kills. Just 45 minutes before leaving Midway for her last—and fatal—patrol, her Chief Yeoman Forest Sterling was transferred to other duty. The result is this book—Sterling’s fantastic yet completely authentic account of a remarkable crew and captain, and the ship they lived and died for. “Many will remember the newspaper stories during World War II and the photo of Wahoo with a broomstick tied to her periscope signifying a clean sweep...But (here is) the full story from the yeoman who made all the patrols...except the last one.”—Medal-of-Honor winner Captain E. B. Fluckey, USN
"Bierce's fables are distinguished for their biting wit and their cynical reflection of the political and social events of his time. Local and national political figures; corrupt lawyers, judges, and clergymen; and even incidents in the Spanish-American War are all mercilessly lampooned. The fables not only testify to Bierce's hatred of "hypocrisy, cant, and all sham" but provide a window into late nineteenth-century American society. S. T.
