During these difficult times, do you believe that God answers prayers? Are you anxious about where life is taking you? Have you ever wondered why me, God? Do you know the Lord God? Well, I believe that after reading my book (Oh Hallelujah! God Definitely Answers Prayers), you will have the strength and belief that God can do anything. The reason I know is because I have been through too much. I have been through the storm and literally through the fire. And I am still here. You may feel disappointed, depressed, hopeless, no one loves you, no one cares. But I am here to tell you God and His son, Jesus, definitely loves and cares about each and everyone of us. Keep praying. Keep believing.

PALM BEACH'S #1 BESTSELLER SINCE PUBLICATION. For two decades Palm Beach socialite and film producer George Williams exchanged his tuxedo for a flight suit and surreptitiously flew millions of dollars of marijuana, cocaine and cash between Colombia, the Bahamas and Florida, evading U.S. Customs, DEA, the FBI, federal task forces and the local police. A fixture at balls, charity events and social gatherings, Williams became a top cocaine supplier for the tuxedo and tiara set on the island, having survived a crash landing in the Bahamas. An expert blackjack player, he appeared on Regis and other shows, filming commercials for American Express, Miller Lite and others. Never caught, his true identity never revealed, this is the amazing memoir of the man who shuttled between the Colombian drug lords of Medellin, the remote jungle airstrips of Honduras, the casinos of Las Vegas and the ballrooms and glitter of Palm Beach. With acerbic wit, he names names and pulls back the curtain on a segment of society rarely seen outside the drawing rooms and clubs of Palm Beach.

How often have you been at 35,000 feet and heard the flight attendant announce "Do we have anyone here who can fly a 757?" and it's not you? When is the last time you sliced open a papaya in front of expectant dinner guests and the whole thing was full of big wriggling maggots? How many times have you built a perpetual motion machine, only to see it stop? NEVER AGAIN.... If you read this book. These vital questions along with over a dozen others are answered with entertaining wit and clarity, equipping you for life's emergencies and opportunities. How to Fly an Airplane, Beat Blackjack, Play the Piano, Lose Weight, Perform the World's Best Magic Trick, Obtain Free Postage, See Everything that Ever Happened, Get Even With a Crooked Cabdriver - these are but a few of the life skills readily learned from this marvelous and deranged guide to a better life. No cocktail table, bathroom or recycling bin should be without this book! WARNING - contains absolutely no Adult Content or significant literary value. The illustrations are worse.

Does God exist? If so, what's He like? Is He still here? Does He care about us? What does religion have to do with God? Author George Williams examines these and other pertinent questions in clear, relatable language to reach the most reasonable points of view. These questions and others we've all wondered about are discussed from the points of view of cosmogony, cosmology, religion, science and deductive reasoning. Are there any more important questions? Forty six million Americans identify themselves as noncommittal on the subject of religion, and all of us have wondered about these matters from time to time. The Quest for God is impeccably researched and annotated. This unbiased work might just change your life.

Medieval boundaries, early Christian monuments or merely stones for cattle to scratch their backs on? This review and collection of new evidence suggests that the overwhelming number of those that have a prehistoric context are in places which have a ritual significance.

Importantly, it explains how the Uluru Statement offers change that will benefit the whole nation.

A classic, one-volume commentary written with an uncompromising commitment to the inspiration, authority, and integrity of the Scriptures.

"The stories in this breathless and relentless collection are rendered in a voice both elegant and manic, as if we're seeing the world through a surreal and yet precise kaleidoscope, one that both celebrates and condemns our foibles and follies. Satirical and cutting as Jonathan Swift, hectic and skewed as Van Gogh, bitter and morbid as Poe, the stories collected in The Selected Letters of the Late Biagio Serafim Sciarra show us that all is not well in Paradise, that the savage wealth of America has created a land of lunacy. Perhaps only Gogol and Barthelme have written stories this fantastically brutal and beautiful. George Williams is one of the finest minds and writers of our generation." -Eric Miles Williamson

The day she turns fifteen Zoë ditches high school in Chandler, Arizona, and is picked up by an elderly man driving a step van turned into a laboratory. He promises to teach her all he knows if she trusts him to take her where she is fated to go. On their way to Illinois, they find themselves in the middle of an animal rights activists' liberation of the creatures in Topeka's Zoomorphological Wonders of the World and take aboard two companions from an infamous bestiary. From Topeka they travel to an abandoned movie theater in Pittsfield, where war-horse and inventor Skelton builds a miniature version of the CERN particle accelerator. From there they go to Paris and from Paris they drive south to Lacoste, where the story culminates with a confederacy of the wealthiest men in the world gathered in the garden courtyard of Marquis de Sade's castle to sell Zoë into sex slavery to the highest bidder, while Zoë's step-father, half-crazed with grief, is bidden by guilt to drive to the Chandler Fashion Center and confess to the bewildered employees of Victoria's Secret his unsuccessful attempts to molest his step-daughter, and to absolve his sins with V-strings and thong underwear knotted into a noose. At turns absurd, poignant, and comic, Zoë is a quicksilver phantasmagoria and enchanted road trip unlike any other, where travel is spectral and the traveling companions, if not real, are temporary visitors from imaginary worlds sent to show a girl lost in the moronic inferno of 21st century America the best way to her brightest possible future.

With inferno stories, George Williams returns with another original and electrifying collection. Two home invaders put on trial a descendant of San Juan Capistrano's oldest families for the sins of his ancestors. A man encounters a cult that mistakes him for both savior and sacrifice. Two screenwriters in search of a story follow a strange man from Istanbul up the coast of Italy to Duino, where he carves into a tree a baffling equation that changes their marriage forever. A fired White House speechwriter travels south along the East Coast in stolen rowboats with a woman he meets under a D.C. bridge, leaving a comedy of chaos in their wake. In the title story, a retired sex worker in L.A. turned trickster and avenging angel settles dozens of scores with methods of punishment both ancient and modern. Inferno takes the reader from east Texas to Catalina Island, from ancient Rome to cedar forests of Provence, from the low country of Savannah to the burning hills of Southern California. Brazen bulls and kamikaze pilots, karaoke and crucifixions, the canals of Venice and the killing fields of the I-45 corridor all figure in these twelve superbly crafted stories written in a subtle and daring range of voices and styles. Williams opens the door onto a world of uneasy inhabitants, credulous creatures who want the truth they already know they cannot bear, characters fully human in their heartbreak, cruelty, and capacity for self-deception. ***Praise for George Williams*** "George Williams writes with an electric energy, unpredictable inventiveness, and deft ear for dialogue that makes him one of the most exciting and compelling writers of his generation." -Richard Burgin, author of Rivers Last Longer and Shadow Traffic "...shows a darkly comic sensibility more akin to that of the filmmaking Coen brothers (think Barton Fink) than to more obvious literary influences...Recommended to adventurous readers, who will surely enjoy Williams's wildly irreverent inventions." -Library Journal "Williams paints a grotesque picture of modern America, one filled with witches and terrorists, con men and succubi. Actually, I don't know if there are any actual succubi in the pages . . . but it sure feels like there should be." -Popmatters "George Williams, a self-described "reformed anarchist," writes a hyper-controlled, smart and taut prose that goes beyond the spare exactness of the Moderns. The sentences seem so easy, but their accretion is sly: William's prose unveils a tough and dense vision, the steady shock of a live snapping wire." -Stephen D. Geller

Reports on an excavation programme developed by the Dyfed Archaeological Trust following its formation in 1975. The concentration of enclosures in the south-west of Wales was a well-known phenomenon, but their origins and development were poorly understood. The excavations showed activity from the Early Bronze Age to the post-Roman period. The volume presents seven sites in detail and considers the nature, function and status of the enclosures as well as the sequence and economy of the sites as a whole.With contributions by D. Benson, E. Besly, D. Brennan, A.E. Caseldine, P. Crew, J. Crowther, T.C. Darvill, A. David, T.G. Holden, B. Levitan, C. O'Mahoney, J. Webster and J.L. Wilkinson.Edited by Kevin Blockley.
