Every man desires to be a hero for the woman he loves; however, very few are presented the opportunity. Col. James P. Gordon is one of those men. Early on, the younger Air Force captain, Jim Gordon, met and fell in love with Samantha Marissen, the woman who brought him to Jesus Christ and the daughter of Edward Marissen, CEO of Marissen AeroSpace. After more than twenty years, the now retired Air Force pilot is thrust into such a position as personal and world events collide, crossing the paths of the lost loves once again. Recently divorced from an emotionally and physically abusive man, Samantha Marissen fled the country as a means of escape and relief from the horrors of the legal destruction of her character but is arrested in an unstable foreign land and charged as a spy in an unwarranted retaliatory act against the United States. She is held captive for trial far from her estranged family with only the protection of a sympathetic soldier and her love of God. James Gordon, a man with no family, yet still strong in his faith, lays his life on the line to bring Samantha home. Her time of captivity and his period of training prove their love still strong as both overcome serious obstacles to remain alive. Unknown to Samantha is the love and concern of friends she thought long-forgotten who pray for her safe return with James Gordon.

The CLEAR Dementia Care© model is an effective method of assessing behaviour that challenges, through an understanding that such behaviour may be a way of communicating unmet needs. This book explains the many factors that contribute to challenging behaviour and how a greater understanding of this can enhance quality of life and lead to better care for the person with dementia in both hospital and residential settings. Discussing how people with dementia have the same needs as everyone else, the book helps to understand dementia from the perspective of the person experiencing it. It features case studies with examples of how to interpret signs of distress and develop an appropriate intervention plan. The model includes person-centred assessment of cognition, life story and personality, emotional and physical wellbeing, activity and environment, and relationships. Also included are easy-to-use photocopiable assessment tools, proven to facilitate a more accurate understanding of behaviour.

In this book you are about to read, since I am a firm believer in honesty, I don’t apologize for holding to values like truth, justice, goodness, righteousness, and purity, because they originate with our unchanging God. Kindness is our most powerful fool. I’m so sorry it put my son in prison. He is the victim. It is the price he is paying for being a friend. Please stay with me while you read this book. I want to tell everyone that has the nerve to read this truth about my loving son. What they did to him and my family. I raised my six children after my husband died. I took of care of my mother until she passed. I have had to stand tall and not let the tears flow so fast I can’t see. I am trying now, but it is rough. I had to stay strong because we owed for our home when Jim died, and I did not want to lose it. I know that there are people who wanted to help us with this case, but the judge would not let them talk. I thought in my young life I also had been through a lot, but nothing compares to this. My writing is tearstained from crying. It has taken me fifteen years to write this book. I have kept a copy of the News Journal of the trial days. I have tried to write every day to understand what and why this was done to my son and my family. I could feel my late husband near me. I knew they were against us. I counted on the blue bows to help me get through all the lies. Now there is one blue bow left hanging on my red tree. When we can beat the lies and get my son home for good, I will bury all the news articles and the blue bow at the base of that wonderful tree. I have counted on this book to tell the bad stuff. There is very little good stuff. I am now ninety-six years old. I must live long enough to tell the good people the truth. I pray every day that the injustice our country is going through will soon pass. And God will bless our country again. I thank God every day that Milton, my son, has the power to stand up under the unforgettable experience and feel the joy of an uplifted spirit and know he is loved.

This Christmas, celebrate the joys of the season with a trio of exquisitely crafted, richly romantic tales by three of the brightest stars in contemporary fiction—bestselling authors Kay Hooper, Iris Johansen, and Fayrene Preston. Filled with passion, drama, and a touch of magic, this festive gathering of classic stories—available for the first time in ten years—tells about the lives and loves of one unforgettable family and the enchanted heirloom that links one generation to the next. Christmas Past by Iris Johansen Killara, Arizona, 1893. Kevin Delaney had heard his share of tall tales, but none could match the one told by the Gypsy beauty he found rummaging in the attic of Killara, his family’s estate. The waif claimed to have traipsed halfway around the world simply to recover an old, long-forgotten mirror. But Zara St. Cloud knows it is no ordinary mirror—and she can see that the striking Delaney is no ordinary man. While he doesn’t believe her talk of mystical relics and fortune-telling, there’s no doubt that a kind of magic is at work on his heart—just in time for Christmas. Christmas Present by Fayrene Preston True love remains elusive for Bria Delaney. But when she joins her parents at Killara for the holidays, Bria discovers an unusual mirror that reveals far more than her reflection. Appearing in the glass is a startlingly handsome man who just as mysteriously disappears—until she meets him in person that very night. Kells Braxton is visiting on business, but the desire he stirs in Bria is anything but professional—and the mirror foretells their every intense encounter, leading to a Christmas they’ll never forget.… Christmas Future by Kay Hooper A heartbreaking vision in the legendary Delaney mirror drove Brett Delaney to the other side of the world years before. Now his father’s death brings him part of his inheritance: the mirror—and the unbearable prophesy it offers sends him home to Killara this Christmas, determined to save the home he loves and the woman he’s always loved.
