A young man named Lenny Gordon grows up with a burning desire to do something significant that will make our embattled world a more loving place to live. He plays football in high school, achieving honors, resulting in full-ride scholarship to Michigan University, where he also receives much-acclaimed offers to play for NFL teams. Instead of going "pro," he accepts a job in the industry as a software engineer. After three years, the old yearning to "do good for the world" encompasses his mind and spirit. He goes to his special little church and looks upward for "heavenly guidance." A sweet female voice comes down and blesses Lenny's peacemaker foray to the troubled world. At this session, he is told that he will be anointed with certain special powers: With a flick of his fingers, he will be able to "transfix" his audience. He will be surrounded by a luminous shield protecting him from all sorts of physical and ammunition bombardments. In his first peacemaking foray, he confronts the US Congress and initiates the process of establishing a government that forever will not be headed up by a SINGLE PERSON. Secondly, he abolishes the ever-bickering "two-party system" and replaces with a "no-party Congress," elected by popular vote and congressmen can only serve for one eight to ten years term so that the legislators will not legislative to be "reelected." Then he travels to countries of the world where wars and out-of-control riots are in process. He finds a prominent point and freezes the combatants and threatens to starve them to death if they don't make peace with one another, stating that he has been dispatched from the Godhead they all worship to carry forth his mission: "PEACE AND LOVE EVERYWHERE." Then he has the pope gather the religious heads from all religions, where he freezes the audience and explains that they all worship the same God/Godhead no matter which religion they preach. And the Godhead is made up of both male and female saints who achieved their heavenly position because of their kind-loving lives whilst on the earth, and he also cites that God instilled both male and females a natural desire for sex with each other, so stop condemning consenting adults from having sexual intercourse adults, including priests, who seem to be taking out their sexual cravings out on children. And lastly, women are in so many ways more kind and loving and wise than men that they should be encouraged to fill every sort of official responsibility, including the "papal office." Then he travels about the world, leading to the removal of all the country's armed forces and armaments. After this, he supervises the selection of "well-vetted" persons from the world's 195 countries to make up a "Peace and Love Organization," the PALO, who are the overseers of the peace and love of the whole planet. The PALO assembles them to physics minds around the world who develop an airborne craft that "DENUCLEARIZES" all the atomic arsenals buried around the world. During his journeys, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful Romanian lady, Romanna. She travels with him on many of his missions, and eventually, they marry and produce a baby boy then a baby girl.

The next gripping chapter in the Peaceforgers trilogy Ears still ringing from their last explosive attempt to save the world, Katja and her friends learn that the war is bigger and the future is darker than anyone realized. So much for life after Demo Day. To counter a threat that’s more than just scattered mind control, they’ll have to stay in Seattle. They’ll have to stay in the fight. But maybe this time they can keep their battles in the digital realm. Maybe this time someone else can do all the meat space stuff. Either way, it’s time to regroup, research, resist. And when they do, they’ll learn what the enemy already knows: There’s more than one way to reprogram a human…

Reconciliation and conflict management from a Christian Perspective.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9

Written with a mid-western tone and a commonsense conversational style, The Peacemaker Parent shows parents how to end the struggle over simple chores and transition their children into independence. In the words of Psychiatrist Candida Fink, M.D., "This technique is based on the soundest principles of child development and learning science." Not to worry, though: The science is made easy to understand and the analogies and personal stories relate it all to real life. The already witty and engaging text is lightened with 200 off-set quotes that break up the manuscript with a wonderful combination of humor and deep insight. Following an innovative technique, The Peacemaker Parent gives parents a step-by-step practical method for bringing their theoretical goals into the realm of real-life everyday squabbles over homework, tooth brushing, and breakfast eating. No more idealistic concepts without the practical steps needed for application and results! Best of all, the book's method reaches far beyond the tasks of a single day. Teaching children personal responsibility and problem-solving, it gives parents the knowledge and tools they need to raise children who will grow into capable, resourceful, responsible adults. It starts out creating a peaceful morning and ends up creating a peaceful lifetime for the child who learns to face life's challenges with confidence and independence. Drawing on the theories of B.F. Skinner and Abraham Maslow (among others), The Peacemaker Parent brilliantly combines trusted science with a mother's common sense. The result is the perfect tool for any parent with children ages 2 to 12 who wants to teach her child more than how to read and color in the lines.

As the war to end all wars is about to be followed by another, a young woman finds her life taking the same tragic course as her mother's. One night in the summer of 1938 Violet Lowther’s mother Peggy is dying, her father Ellis is drunk in the pub, and Violet’s life is being ruined behind a dance hall in Barnsfield by a young miner who doesn’t look like Clark Gable after all. By September, the British Prime Minister is flying to Munich to try to make peace with Hitler, and in the same week, Violet travels to the remote moorland of Thorndale to visit relatives, escaping her own war with her father. But when Violet learns the truth about Ellis’ love for Peggy, will she finally be able to make her peace with him? The Peacemaker is a story of buried family secrets and the search for understanding from one generation to the next, and between men and women. Set at a pivotal moment in history it exposes how, in hiding our darkest experiences, the same human tragedies occur over and over again. 'A deftly handled historical novel with a modern twist.'
