This book is designed to stimulate our thinking and to remind us of what we already know for the most part. Hopefully, it will help us develop a greater value system and recognize our self-worth. What really matters to you? Each individual is ultimately accountable for himself. So let's not waste time on trivial matters such as keeping up with the Joneses. Decide what your primary purpose is here on earth, and use your mind, body, and spirit toward accomplishing your purpose. I believe that one of my life's purpose is to give back and share some of my life lessons. Of course, I have been doing this for years. A few years ago, I started giving my family members a booklet each Christmas with a potpourri of motivational information based on Christian values. These words kept coming up in my spirit: "Tell the people." And my answer to this was "They will not listen," and that's when it hit me to write it down, and if they are not ready to hear it, they can read it later. I am concerned about my fellowman's health, well-being, and soul. My desire is to serve as a positive role model and motivator for others. Plus, the intrinsic rewards of helping others are great. This book should serve as an introduction to a successful life. It can be used as a resource. I am a teacher from the heart, and I believe in this Chinese proverb "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and feed him for a lifetime." My favorite Bible verse is what gets me through life: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).

Revenge is a dish best served hot in this exhilarating installment of New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey's bold, sexy, and deadly Gideon series.

But the lady from Detroit has never forgotten-or forgiven-Gideon, and with a crack team of hit-men, she's not letting him out of her sight. Now, Gideon's on the run again, embarking on a global chase that takes him from London to Nashville, and back to the Caribbean where those on both sides of this battle are dying for revenge.

As far back as the first century BCE, Chinese dynastic historians - all men - began recording the achievements of Chinese women and creating a structure of understanding that would be used to limit and control them. To men, these women became role models for their daughters and wives; to the few literate women readers, they became paradigms for their own behavior. Thus, although these biographies are descriptive by nature, they actually became prescriptive. Gentlemen's Prescriptions for Women's Lives is an enlightening source for studying Chinese women of the Imperial era as well as for understanding Chinese womanhood in general. By contextualizing these biographies, the author shows us these women not just as the complaisant, calm-eyed, delicate figures that adorn Confucian texts, but also as the products of the Confucian tradition's appropriation of women.

The crypt located on Row 2 Column 6 at Greenview Cemetery Mausoleum has been disintegrated. The coffin once interred inside the crypt now lies empty on the concrete floor of the vault. Its wood is cracked and shattered. The shredded satin lining of the coffin appears as though fingernails clawed through the fabric. The body of recently entombed Bradley Cavanaugh isn’t inside. Dead men can’t escape their graves and walk away, can they? Sheriff Nick Dunn of the Carter County Sheriff's Office doesn’t believe in the supernatural. He’s convinced the creepy incident is an act of vandalism carried out by a gang of juvenile delinquents. When the missing body fails to turn up in a search of the cemetery, Dunn opens his investigation into the macabre and bizarre case. Through Patrice Cavanaugh, widow of the deceased, and her sister, Gabby Morgan, Dunn learns that Bradley Cavanaugh was an aggressive, abusive alcoholic who had multiple enemies in life. Is it possible that one of them stole his body from the grave as retribution for the wrath and vicious behavior Cavanaugh subjected them to while he was still alive? Or was the body stolen for more sinister reasons by someone intending to use it to terrorize Patrice and drive her insane? As Dunn’s investigation brings him closer to the culprit behind the disappearance of Cavanaugh’s body, he realizes that Patrice is the one who’s in grave danger. Someone extremely close to her hated Bradley Cavanaugh passionately and swore the day would come when she’d get her revenge against him for destroying her life. Did that day finally arrive, and is Patrice an intended victim or only collateral damage? When Dunn encounters the horrific truth behind the body’s disappearance, the experience brings him face to face with unadulterated evil, and a realism that’s too unbelievable to be true.
