From Goo to God
Bruce R. Matson
About the Book
In the Colosseum of Ancient Rome, it was not uncommon for Christians to be thrown to the lions. This was a one-sided, public spectacle that was meant to intimidate Christians into complying with the social order of the day. This ancient fact stands as a modern day analogy between evolution and creationism. Let me explain. In almost every mode of media, including in our children’s textbooks, evolution is referred to as an unquestioned fact. If anyone dares to speak against it or even mentions “creation” as an option, they will be thrown to the lions of public disdain. But much like the empire of Ancient Rome, evolution will likewise crumble and Christianity will prevail!About the Author
Bruce Matson is an educator of 30 years who has taught kindergarten through eighth grade. He has also been an administrator, bus driver, and a coach of football, basketball, and track. More importantly, Bruce is a survivor of stage four lymphoma which inspired him to write his book in defense of creationism versus evolution. Seeing his own mortality, he made it his mission to let people know they are so much more than happenstance, by-products of evolution. Bruce uses science-based facts to expose the faulty foundations evolution and reveals how intelligent design throughout the universe leads us to a Creator. -

Upward Road is an inspiring account of Dadisi Mwende Netifnet’s determination to raise himself from illiteracy to competence as a published author, from a youth with a questionable sense of morality to a man of integrity. The major turning point of his life was his conversion to Christianity and a responsible leader in the Shrine of the Black Madonna. A scholar intensely aware of African history and black pride, this former special education student refused to let any obstacle, no matter how strong, prevent him from reaching his goal. This book is a “must read” for every African American.

The Silver Mountain Dreams of Love
Rufus Yates
About the Book
After a few friends asked what happened to Will and Josh? Did they get married or what? I said well I never really thought about it but, there is room for more than The Silver Mountain. So I added some love and romance with a little adventure and laughs along with some old fashioned tearful moments.About the Author
Stories from my life adventure in my mind and from other sources I have come across in my life. I find it harder to do the things I’m use to as I age so writing is a way of living in other worlds and live in your dreams. I have discovered the world of the web, where most anyone can find anything if they want to. I hope I can put a few smiles on a few faces with my wit and imagination for a while. -
I Fought the Law and I Won
Charles F. Johnson
I was formally a Federal Employee who was discriminated against by my employer. I filed a total of seven (7) EEO grievances against the Federal Government. When the administrative remedies failed, I filed suit in Federal Court.
One of my cases made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. I subsequently won all my cases that turned out to be one of the largest settlements in history. It took me five years to win all my cases. The 2000 Federal Census claims that there are over 146 million employed people in the U.S. and every 3 seconds one of them is discriminated against. I wanted to let these people know what happened to me, and if they are experiencing the same treatment, they have Civil Rights and can fight back.
My CO-workers and even a Federal Judge told me that I should write a book. So I wrote a tell all book in detail on this very serious problem facing the employed people of this country.
This book is a tell all book about what happened to me and how I fought back. The next book will explain just how I legally did it. It took me five years to win, but what I know today; I can help any employee in the United States do it in less than 2 years.
