This is not another Christian book sharing the same information with believers again, but rather one that gives guidance and answers to misinterpretations by using the Word of God only, not based on authorial opinion, but using scripture to interpret the Word of God.

Our God is a God of faith, and it takes faith to please Him. It is easy to have faith in the little things, and many Christians exercise their faith by what they can see, hear and or feel; but omit to realise that God revealed Himself through Jesus, and set Jesus before us as the One to whom we must entrust ourselves for salvation. This Christian book explains what faith is, and elaborates on how we are to mature our faith through a relationship with Jesus in order to experience God at wor...

Illuminating the negative, by Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author David M. Corbin, is about questioning authority, getting real and Illuminating the Negative in a Positive Light.

We need critical thinking, analytical thinking, unafraid-to-face-the-truth thinking. Corbin reminds us that 'nowhere in the positive attitude literature d...

There is something wrong with our politics that elections cannot solve. In recent years, we have had a Republican Congress with a Democratic president, a Republican Congress with a Republican president, a Democratic Congress with a Republican president, and a Democratic Congress with a Democratic president. The "New Democrat" of 1992 produced a "Republican Revolution" in 1994. We cleansed ourselves of Clinton Administration corruption in 2000 only to have to punish Republican corruption in...

Strikes and union battles have occurred throughout history, but few of those stories compare to the West Virginia Mine Wars of 1912 and 1921. The two workers' rebellions quickly drew attention to an area known principally for its 'black gold', the coal that was vital for the factories, power plants and warships of that age. This eye-opening historical collection chronicles those union battles as seen by the leaders, rank-and-file participants and the journalists who came to West Virginia t...
