"Contradiction after contradiction, said the man, the Bible is full of them." I wondered what Bible he was reading. Most apparent paradoxes resolve themselves with careful study and research. I love the old book, it is my God, speaking to me. Oh, there are love stories that would make a romance novelist author blush and tales of extra-terrestrials that surpass the fiction of television and movie space travel. There are also truths about how to enjoy life and how to live it to the fullest. I've spent many years in the book and I hope to spend more. For forty years I've studied the end days and what we are to expect in the future! A short course in what heaven is like and the condition of today's churches is included in this book. Warning, not all churches will be automatically represented in heaven. When I was born, there were less than two billion people on this earth, now, there are more than seven billion. The earth can't hold many more. Despite wars, that kill many, and crop failures the population growth soars. The earth's population is soon to peak. Soon, the end will come.

Maury Maverick was possibly the first liberal United States Congressman from Texas to achieve national and even international stature. A dedicated Democrat, he was ready to attack Franklin D. Roosevelt whenever he felt that Roosevelt was flagging in his enthusiasm for reform. He was honest to the point of rudeness, and he belonged to the "damn the torpedoes" class that pulled ahead regardless of political consequences. He was at home with the literate—he was a prodigious writer and speaker—but always ready to puncture their pretensions. And he could cuss with sailors, pecan shellers, and any breed of saloon keeper. Put all that together with a short, stocky, bulldog frame, a fierce face and a voice to match, and you have one of the nation's more colorful political figures.

In 'Co. Aytch: Maury Grays First Tennessee Regiment,' Samuel R. Watkins offers a gripping firsthand account of his experience as a soldier in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. Written in a straightforward and unembellished style, Watkins provides a detailed and intimate look at the daily life of a soldier, filled with both the hardships and camaraderie of war. The book offers valuable insights into the mindset of a Southern soldier and the impact of the war on individuals and communities. Watkins' vivid descriptions and candid narrative style bring the reader directly into the heart of the conflict, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in Civil War history. Samuel R. Watkins, himself a Confederate soldier, draws on his own experiences to provide a genuine and authentic account of the war. His dedication to preserving the memory of his fellow soldiers shines through in this poignant and powerful memoir. I highly recommend 'Co. Aytch' to history enthusiasts, Civil War scholars, and anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the human experience during times of conflict.
