DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book was written from the REAL perspective of everyday men and women that struggle with finding peace in their home. No clinical sounding or Doctoral thesis was necessary to discuss what real people like you and I need to know. Stop paying the bills for drama to live in your home. A PLEA FOR CHANGE is here. Long time friends and Co-Authors Gregory Wright and Aaron Cox look at the real issues that divide men and women in todays relationships. They feel society has conditioned us how to think, act and look. They also believe mass media ploys are becoming more main stream than family values. The hearts of men and women in this society have been suppressed by emotional thinking. They ask the question Is society REALLY interested in your well being and quality of life? Is it true to say our emotions drive our wants, but needs are attached to the heart? Our chapters will also identify how our wants have taken priority and our needs have been put off until another day that will come too late, if at all. Please dont be offended or take anything personally, we had to keep it REAL. Along with some laughs this book guarantees to put you back on track for whats REALLY important and living the American dream and not the American theme. Do you REALLY want to know why I am not at home exposes key issues to why we REALLY dont want to be home.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter a hunting trip one fall, a family in the far reaches of so-called Canada’s north return to nothing but an empty space where their home once stood. Finding themselves suddenly homeless, they have no choice but to assimilate into settler-colonial society in a mining town that has encroached on their freedom. An intergenerational coming-of-age novel, This House Is Not a Home follows Kǫ̀, a Dene man who grew up entirely on the land before being taken to residential school. When he finally returns home, he struggles to connect with his family: his younger brother whom he has never met, his mother because he has lost his language, and an absent father whose disappearance he is too afraid to question. The third book from acclaimed Dene, Cree and Metis writer Katłįà, This House Is Not a Home is a fictional story based on true events. Visceral and embodied, heartbreaking and spirited, this book presents a clear trajectory of how settlers dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of their land — and how Indigenous communities, with dignity and resilience, continue to live and honour their culture, values, inherent knowledge systems, and Indigenous rights towards re-establishing sovereignty. Fierce and unflinching, this story is a call for land back.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe sudden arrival of big-city elites in small-town America triggers a violent wave of protests—and a possible civil war—in this explosive thriller from the bestselling authors of Down the Dark Streets. This is . . . NOT MY HOME They came from the cities. Wealthy, work-from-home professionals fleeing the rotting crime-ridden hellscapes of northern blue states for the peace and tranquility of small-town life. Almost overnight, they take over the sleepy village of Springerville, South Carolina. They snatch up the real estate. Turn old-fashioned stores into fancy boutiques. Transform the schools. And bring crime and corruption with them. Now one of these invaders—a predatory media mogul from New York—is running for mayor. His plan is to turn Springerville into a sprawling urban enclave . . . just like the ones the northerners left behind. And Springerville will be ruined forever. . . . NOT ON YOUR LIFE Not if Gus Fuller can stop it. A former army sergeant and lifelong townie, Gus runs the old luncheonette his grandfather built—and plans to give the media mogul a run for his money. Everyone in Springerville loves Gus, and he has no problem winning the mayoral race. But when the mogul accuses him of rigging the election, all hell breaks loose. Busloads of domestic terror groups roll into town. Angry mobs take to the streets, followed by rioting, looting, and burning. They’re turning Main Street into a war zone. So Gus and his army buddies are dusting off their uniforms—and taking a stand. . . . It's time to fight back. It’s time to fight hard. It’s time to show these America-haters this is not their home.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWould you trade fame for privacy? Movie star Maggie Malone has a glamorous lifestyle with everything money can buy―except privacy. Hounded by the paparazzi and ridiculed for her faith, Maggie secretly struggles with severe anxiety and loneliness. All she desires is to be herself--southern girl by birth, ranch lover by heart. When an anonymous benefactor invites Maggie to participate in a secret project, will her hopelessness find a new direction? Or will she become another celebrity travesty? What if she discovers Hollywood is not Home? Her faith, family, love, and future hang in the balance . . . Endorsements I have long believed that if you can tell a great story, you earn the right to share your message, and the best life-lessons come from the best stories. Within these pages, you are going to take a journey with Annmarie and discover a lot about her, but even more, you are going to discover who you are and who you are meant to be. Jim Stovall Best-selling author, The Ultimate Gift Hollywood Is Not Home is a gift. The ease of digesting the content is remarkable. I haven't felt so close to a story’s characters. Their developing is so subtle and down to earth, I begged for more. Projecting the outcome of this story was impossible . . . waiting for the surprises, of which there are many. Annmarie’s approach to Southernism rings soft and true. One can hear the gentile South and feel the dynamics of a family and community who love each other. A story well written. I look forward to the sequel. Gale B.

Roberts gives us plenty of reason to ponder on what it means to be true to oneself, to one's values―and most importantly, to one's Lord. Dr. Tom LeGrand University Chaplain and Professor
