Book-offerings & blog-info.:
Faith!
Family! Freedom!
This sacred-trinity defines the paradigm
of my
writing-offerings. I perceive a surreptitious (quickly becoming
“blatant”)
assault on these Traditional American-values. My intent
is to counter
such evil with a message of Christian-generosity Love!
These books and
my blog-posts (now totaling 1463 & counting) extol
an example of Live! Love! Laugh! in a modern-world
lacking civility.
Please! Enjoy!
