Originally, Grandpa's Book was written as an attempt to leave a legacy for his children and grandchildren. The stories were just to good to keep inside the family unit and the book(s) were soon passed around to friends. Shortly, strangers were calling for copies, many demanding that the book be published, so that they too might own a copy. Comments from some delighted readers "I couldn't put the book down. My wife couldn't understand why I wouldn't come to bed. She read the book and said that she absolutely understands why. She remarked that she laughed at the punch lines and eagerly anticipated the next scrape that Grandpa Ray might get into." "Grandpa Ray is a master storyteller!" "Pacing and cadence are effectively employed to make readers laugh at the punch lines." "Well-written, fun and easy-to-read, Grandp's memoir brims with love, humor and warmth. He masterfully employs the techniques of anecdotes to create an invaluable legacy for his children." "Grandpa Ray fill his personal memoir with amusing, instructive, and loving anecdotes as a legacy for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren."

"America already has a tomb for the unknown soldier," Lawyer Blake Nepper told reporters. "Can we not have one obituary for the unknown fetus?" Ward Brown's daughter, Mindy, is newly pregnant. It's Thanksgiving of Mindy's senior year of high school. She has already been granted a college academic scholarship. She is no longer involved with her baby's father. Ward Brown fears the dastardly inevitable; he needs a miracle, will try anything to stop his daughter from aborting her baby. With help of a shrewd insurance CEO and his troubled lawyer, Ward Brown takes out a controversial life insurance policy on his unborn grandchild. As his daughter Mindy Brown endures her senior year, delaying an inevitable abortion, the world awaits a civil trial which could topple Roe v. Wade. "A Grisham-like thriller, Grandpa's Hook engages legalized abortion much like Uncle Tom's Cabin engaged, and helped end, legalized slavery." -Jedd Hafer. Scott Degelman came to know Jesus in 1998 at 29 years old. He then transferred his lifelong passion for writing into serving God through the arts. A published poet, speaker, novelist and songwriter, Scott is Director at a Colorado Boys' Home where he has counseled for eight years. He is married with four children the last five years. He will attend a final year of Bible College after he stops having kids. Scott has recently initiated a pro-life ministry entitled Save One Soul, its purpose to unify all pro-life sites, and to propagate art for the pro-life cause. Scott came to know that, born in 1969, he would have been aborted had abortion been legal at that time. His subsequent passion for seeing abortion once again outlawed, and his obedience to God, created this novel. Scott and his family reside in the beautiful mountain town of Woodland Park, Colorado.

Even as we celebrate the return of our military from wars in the Middle East, we are becoming increasingly aware of the struggles that await veterans on the home front. Red, White, and True offers readers a collection of voices that reflect the experiences of those touched by war--from the children of veterans who encounter them in their fathers' recollections of past wars to the young men and women who fought in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. The diversity of perspectives collected in this volume validates the experiences of our veterans and their families, describing their shared struggles and triumphs while honoring the fact that each person's military experience is different. Leila Levinson's powerful essay recounts her father's experience freeing a POW camp during World War II. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder provides a chilling account of being a new second lieutenant in Vietnam. Army combat veteran Brooke King recounts the anguish of raising her young children by day while trying to distinguish between her horrific memories of IED explosions in Baghdad and terrifying dreams by night. These individual stories of pain and struggle, along with twenty-nine others, illustrate the inescapable damage that war rends in the fabric of society and celebrate our dauntless attempts to repair these holes with compassion and courage.
