There were thousands of Germans who fought courageously, and risked their and their families' lives taking a stand against Hitler, even after he and his criminal horde came to power. While a few of the most famous ones have received the publicity they well deserve, history has been silent about the rest of them. I wrote this book about my life and participation in the German Underground in order to make their voices heard, and give them the recognition and respect which humanity owes them.

"In 1934, Anglican priest H. R. L (""Dick"") Sheppard challenged young men in England to pledge to ""say NO!"" to participation in future wars. The response to his call was so overwhelmingly enthusiastic that the next year Sheppard published We Say NO! The Plain Man's Guide to Pacifism and founded the Peace Pledge Union, a pacifist organization that's still going strong in Britain today. His book, a best-seller during his lifetime, has become a classic in Christian pacifism. It contains the fundamentals of Sheppard's call for a Christian response to violence that remains loyal to the ""constructively revolutionary"" spirit of Jesus. Sheppard's commitment to the gospel of nonviolence made him slightly disreputable within the Church of England but earned him a lasting place among twentieth-century champions of pacifism. This new edition of We Say NO!, completely annotated and prefaced with an introduction that provides detailed information about Sheppard and the peace movement he launched, aims to present his case for Christian pacifism to a new generation.

The urge to say yes, to please everyone around you can be overwhelming. It is not just a matter of being a "nice person." It can be rooted in your desire to maintain your self-image, the product of chronically low self esteem. It may even be the result of situations in which you feel you will gain from constantly saying yes. But the truth in life is that knowing when to say "No" when you usually say "Yes" is one of the most fundamentally important things you can do for yourself and for your relationships. Forcing others to respect you regardless of your positions and to establish a clear and comfortable persona for yourself rely on this ability. This book walks everyone who has ever felt uncomfortable denying something to others through the process of recognizing how you truly feel and tapping into your inner self so that you can relay to others how you truly feel, saying no when necessary and yes only when you truly agree or are willing to do something. You will learn everything you need to know to recognize what it is about your personality that creates a need to say yes. From understanding what it is you want to get out of other people to accepting that you do not need their validation, you will learn how to separate your insecurities from what you really think so that you can start telling people how you truly feel. Learn how to set priorities and therefore know when it is okay to say yes. By understanding the proper time to say yes, you will quickly learn how to tell the times when it is not okay and you must say no. In various interviews with parents, educators, psychologists, and every day citizens, this book provides a complete world view that helps any individual understand what it is about their personality that causes them to consistently say yes when they should not.

The story is set on the high seas where a gas tanker is high-jacked by terrorist under the control of the Senate, who put it on tow to a high-jacked cruise liner, which is used as a human shield. The terrorists want to sail the convoy to New York harbor and blow it up, causing devastation in an act of revenge. The only chance for Jeff and his friends have for saving themselves is if the passengers take back the two ships before they reach American waters; otherwise, the Americans will blow the gas tanker up, killing all the passengers. The main action takes place off Sable Island near Nova Scotia, the notorious area known as the Atlantic graveyard, where history will tell there has been the loss of over three hundred ships. The flashback of when Jeff first came in contact with the deadly Senate, he was a well-known local environmentalist and was wanted for terrorist crimes he did not commit. The only way he can prove his innocence and stay alive is by pretending to be dead, return to a devastated Estuary area, search for his family and the truth. The evidence of corruption he finds that threatens to destabilize the government must be exposed at all costs Jeff is hunted by a professional killer of the Senate called Wilson, who must destroy him and the evidence before Jeff can expose it. In this part of the story, the action is set against a background of the aftermath of an explosion of biblical proportions at a gas terminal in the Estuary. The thought-provoking reality is that it could happen for real, and the establishment knows it, and they have to plan for the worst-case scenario.
