A modern video gaming teenager of mixed racial heritage struggles to adjust to a wind-powered world when a strange weather anomaly, spawned by an ancient Voodoo spell, tosses him over two hundred years back in time to 1803 -- a time long before teenagers were invented. After the death of his mother, his estranged father had attempted to "man him up by enrolling the 14 year old Connor in a Caribbean sailing boot camp for troubled youths. He resisted like a cat on a leash till he was washed overboard by a strange white squall. After being rescued by the crew of an ancient British Man-O-War, Connor initially thinks it's all an elaborate hoax devised by his father, a cosmetic surgeon for the elite. Reality finally asserts itself, however, and he finds himself assigned to the ship's surgeon, a glorified butcher, who Connor instructs in modern concepts of sanitation and a better use for high proof spirits beyond that of drunkenness. Eventually his experiences with naval regulations and raw human interactions involving different cultures, pirates, a Voodoo Priestess, and the Haitian struggle for independence combine to manage what no modern boot camp would ever risk lawsuit or imprisonment to accomplish. In the end, given a chance to return to his previous existence, what will he choose to do?

From the very beginning, disciples of Jesus have gotten His message wrong. Author W.F. Hauck presents his research on why that might be the case as well as what the true message of grace is. Reviewing and illuminating each step from pre-history to the end of time, author W.F. Hauck, a reformed Evangelical veteran of the pulpit, proposes a new way of interpreting the Bible. In researching why the disciples of Jesus have always gotten the message wrong, Hauck began to suspect that God intended that to be the case so as to best instruct the entirety of humanity. Hauck presents his findings and along the way deals with the false doctrines of Original Sin, Calvinism, eternal hellfire, and the age-old conundrum of what happens to humans who have loved, lived, and died without ever hearing the gospel. What We Don't GET about GOD & GRACE will appeal to the independent thinkers who are searching for answers to uncomfortable questions. Believers in need of a positive message for the issues they struggle with will appreciate the book's core views. What We Don't GET about GOD & GRACE aims to deliver good news about the future of all humanity with a casually sarcastic tone.

Free Choice is an illusion. Everything we think, say, and do is colored by the circumstances of our birth, subsequent life experiences, and the stuff we think we possess. In an ironic twist, the only way we can really achieve a modicum of freedom is by realizing that we don't have it to begin with. Then, we can put up a resistance. Most insidious of all is when our stuff begins to control our lives. That's what Veronica and Andrew find themselves dealing with. Andrew, overburdened by the responsibility of maintaining a lifestyle that leaves him with little or no time for personal enjoyment, seeks to flee the present and return to the care-free past he once enjoyed as a street artist. Veronica, on the other hand, fears becoming re-trapped by a dark and sinister past she's fled from to gain her present freedom. As his wife tries to maintain the status quo, Andrew sets out on an adventure of self-discovery that affects many others along the way. In the end, will the two find common ground, or will their disparate paths end up with them hopelessly lost to each other?
