Nicole Karam goes to war with the FBI to protect and exonerate her husband from false and trumped-up accusations; Hartmann has lost his business, money, and sanity. An ex-father-in-law, the FBI Director Manchester Buchanan, blames Hartmann for the death of his daughter and granddaughter and is blind to reason. Manchesters' lover and fellow agent hides the truth from him for no other reason than spite and jealousy. Hartmann is covertly and cleverly manipulated and spirited away to the killing fields of South Texas to be used as sport/prey on a hunting ranch. The government wants its pound of flesh anyway they can get it. So why not add some entertainment and sport to the proceedings. Nicole enlists help from Harry Ironside, an NSA maverick agent, and secret lover, to save Hartmann. Hartmann's sidekick and aide Jesse Montoya, a reformed south side San Antonio gangster, forms a posse of old friends and sets off to rescue Hartmann after hacking into the FBI mainframe.

The distance between natural foods and what the average American family puts on their dinner table grows wider every year. In Foodture We Trust, the author explores the role that politics and profit play in over-processing all nutritional value out of foods, turning the Creator's abundant, widely varied gift into an indigestible sludge that only marginally resembles the original design. Learn the history of the genetic engineering of food; misappropriation of scientific studies to support the profits of big business; the effort to convince the American public it needs drugs created for diseases that never existed before; and legislation aimed at outlawing natural foods, processes, and remedies for the sake of protecting profits. Gain a scientific understanding of the benefits of natural foods, and learn about evidence that the bureaucracy responsible for protecting the health and nutrition of Americans is dedicated to destroying them instead. For thirty years Heinz Gisel traveled the world innovating cutting-edge medical technology and providing doctors with new instruments to treat illness. As the CEO of medical laser companies, he learned that funding disease fighting technology was difficult, but not for devices used in elective procedures, plastic surgery, aesthetic treatments and vision correction. He observed that many people seeking such treatments would be better served rejuvenating from the cellular level, starting with nutrition. But most people had either forgotten how to balance their diet with lifestyle, or they didn't know to begin with. The author invested years into nutrition research and technology development for analyzing disease susceptibility of presumed healthy people. After opening clinics in various countries, it surfaced that many clients who thought to be healthy were at the brink of a major health challenge, which they could forestall by simple lifestyle modifications and by making conscientious food choices.

Which Bible Scholars Do You Trust? If you don't have a personal copy of the original Bible manuscripts, you're going to have to trust a scholar to tell you which Bible you can trust. But there are two kinds of scholars: the scholars of faith and the scholars of doubt. It seems like a no-brainer which one you'd choose. But amazingly, the vast majority of professors in modern institutions are scholars of doubt! And they have been training pastors for years! Who are the scholars of faith? How can you tell them apart from the scholars of doubt? Where did they come from? And where are they going? And most importantly, what is their fruit? How do you answer those who insist you need to trust "modern" scholars, and get a "new" Bible? Here's how to recognize and choose which scholars (and Bible) to trust... the ones who produce FAITH.

"Life in the United States today is shot through with uncertainty: about our jobs, our mortgaged houses, our retirement accounts, our health, our marriages, and the future that awaits our children. For many, our lives, public and private, have come to feel like the discomfort and unease you experience the day or two before you get really sick. Our life is a scratchy throat. John Marsh offers an unlikely remedy for this widespread malaise: the poetry of Walt Whitman. Mired in personal and political depression, Marsh turned to Whitman--and it saved his life. In Walt We Trust: How a Queer Socialist Poet Can Save what he believed by showing how they emerged from Whitman's life and times, and by recreating the places and incidents (crossing Brooklyn ferry, visiting wounded soldiers in hospitals) that inspired Whitman to write the poems. Whitman, Marsh argues, can show us how to die, how to accept and even celebrate our (relatively speaking) imminent death. Just as important, though, he can show us how to live: how to have better sex, what to do about money, and, best of all, how to survive our fetid democracy without coming away stinking ourselves. The result is a mix of biography, literary criticism, manifesto, and a kind of self-help you're unlikely to encounter anywhere else"--

Out of the dirt on Todd’s smelly sock came a race of miniature people who worship Todd as a god. Now, the tiny Toddlians need everyone's prayers! The Toddlians have always believed in the omnipotence of their god, twelve-year-old Todd Butroche. After all, Todd is their creator and they would not exist if it were not for him and his benevolent grossness. But when the Toddlians are confronted with a vile “red thing” (a moldy apple) and its mysterious and horrifying inhabitant (a worm!), they begin to believe Todd has forgotten all about them. There’s only one solution to the Toddlians’ problems: to find a new god! And so they decide to build a raft à la Noah’s ark in order to search for a more thoughtful deity. But who can the Toddlians turn to in their time of despair? And does Todd really not remember the miniature race generated by the dirt on his smelly sock? It will take more than divine intervention to save the Toddlians and mend their relationship with their neglectful creator.
