The Story Of A Man
Marvin A. Hayes
About the Book
The Story Of A Man is a collection of poems that express emotions of love, pain, laughter, wisdom and self-reflection. Poetry has always been a passion of mine and it later became the avenue to express the memory of the comings and goings of my existence. This is the reason why I chose the title, “”The Story Of A Man.”” Many of the poems were written during my years in undergrad. My college years came and went; however years later I contemplated publishing them. It was then I decided to begin the journey to publish the story of my life.When thinking about the book cover and what I wanted to express to the reader, I chose to use my drawing of Muhammad Ali. Ali is one of my favourite hero’s and a poet himself. In fact the first poem in the book is about Muhammad Ali, a man with an amazing story of struggle and triumph. I selected his picture in hope of attracting the attention of readers who understand each person has an individual story. Just like Ali we all too may experience struggles, pain, and triumph. This book also includes photos that show that my life has been very full.
The photos in the book include pictures of my wife of 50yrs. Mrs. Geraldine Elaine Robinson Hayes, and our legacy which includes my two older children and our five children which makes for 30 grandchildren. I hope that each reader enjoys the poems and pictures and it encourages them to embrace the story of their own life.

Shooting in the Ivory Tower
Joseph Katz
About the Book
Before presenting his thesis defense, Fredrick Davidson plants a gun
in the first-aid kit of one of the university’s science labs, preparing
for whatever might lay ahead. Sweating and delusional, he watches
the potential victims file in. When the defense is set to start, his
thesis director, Dr. Liang, offers a quick, light-hearted introduction
but delusional Fred believes that the committee is purposefully
mocking him. Enraged, he heads to the first-aid kit and begins the
rampage, eventually murdering three of his professors in cold blood.
Based on true events, Professor Joseph Katz presents this horrible
tragedy through his own eyes. In fact, his perspective is certainly
unique: he was supposed to be in the room that day but was running
late from a last-minute meeting one floor below. Shooting in the
Ivory Tower chronicles this violent event through multiple
perspectives and gives the reader insight into what led up to the
murders, based on trial coverage and first-hand discussions with the
victims and Davidson himself.About the author

The Essence of Philosophy
137 Philosophies in Alphabetical Order
Saul Silas Fathi
About the Book
The essence of philosophy is the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and understanding. It is a discipline that asks the most basic questions about existence, reality, knowledge, value, reason, mind, and language. Philosophers have been grappling with these questions for centuries, and there is no one definitive answer to any of them. But that doesn’t make philosophy any less valuable. In fact, it is precisely because these questions are so difficult to answer that philosophy is so important.Philosophy is not just a theoretical exercise. It has practical implications for our everyday lives. For example, our philosophical beliefs about the nature of reality and knowledge influence our decisions about what to believe, how to live, and how to treat others. Our philosophical beliefs about value and ethics influence our decisions about what is right and wrong, good and bad. And our philosophical beliefs about reason and mind influence our decisions about how to think and how to learn.
In short, philosophy is essential for anyone who wants to live a thoughtful and reflective life. It helps us to understand ourselves, the world around us, and our place in it. It also helps us to think critically, to make informed decisions, and to live a good life.”

If it happens to your child, it happens to you!
A Parent's Help-source on Sexual Assault
Christine A. Golder
About the Book
Finally, there is a handbook for parents who have had to face the horrendous ordeal of their child’s sexual assault. Most of the current literature focuses on prevention. This book is specifically to help parents in the aftermath of the assault as it is typical for parents to feel as victimized and powerless as their child. The crisis precipitates a disequilibrium that reverberates throughout the family and can have long-reaching effects unless the members seek help. The initial phase of discovery is the most crucial and how parents react toward their child at first hearing of the assault plays an important role in how the child is able to handle the crisis from that time forward.
After an introductory chapter which examines the scope of the problem, the second chapter discusses disclosure issues. It also explains what assault can entail; reactions and behavioral signals in child and adolescent victims. This chapter also discusses the perpetrator because parents often ask, “”What kind of person could do such a thing?”” The third chapter deals with issues around reporting and what to expect from the legal system. The fourth chapter focuses primarily on parental concerns, feelings and their important role in the recovery process. The fifth chapter suggests some ideas for moving beyond the personal crisis for those parents that want to do more.

Pictures, Poems, and Prayers for the Soul
Charles McCollough
About the Book
This book is humorous autobiography, poetry and prayers of a man who struggled with dyslexia all of his life. He became a minister, social activist, theologian, and visual artist. He struggled with these different roles for years until he found a way to combine all of them in books and presentations using his own art. Without knowing why earning a doctorate was such a struggle for him until he finished his Ph.D., he was often lost. Finally, when he finished his PhD, he discovered that he had a peculiar way of learning, in which he could combine the gifts of verbal, academic theology, and visual imagination. The three main sections of this book illustrate that combination of story-telling, drawing, sculpting, poetry and prayers, and show how this malady of dyslexia became a blessing.
The book begins with a humorous version of McCollough’s early years dealing with his dyslexia when he did not know what it was or that it was holding him back. The second section contains his poetry illustrated with his drawings and sculptures. The third section is of prayers written when he was serving a parish, for use in church or private meditation. The epilogue is his account of testifying before Congress and a story of a feisty woman who showed a depressed church committee how to work for social justice and to witness to her faith. Deeply personal and broadly applicable, McCollough’s search for faith is a humorous and moving account that inspires and encourages other faith seekers.
