Welcome to Connor, My Hometown is a novel about a small town in Ohio and, more importantly, its various people, their lives, loves, failures and successes, and their interactions with one another. It employs a device, first seen in Thornton Wilder's Our Town, whereas, in that play, the stage manager would talk to the audience several times throughout the play. In this case, the town's editor of the Connor Gazette speaks to the reader. He himself is one of the strongest characters in the novel, and his love of the town and its people becomes readily apparent. There is romance. Jenna, owner of the Chit Chat Cafe, which is the public gathering place for many of the town's locals, meets Brian, an engineer and contract specialist from Sedwick Electronics, and they fall in love and get married. Both of them are in their mid-thirties. Pastor Barry Yoder and his wife, Sherry, are among the most beloved of the town's inhabitants, and they minister to the people. They come alongside a couple who have separated and help restore the lost love from their marriage. Jim and Bessie Benson are loved by everyone. He owns the town's Marathon gas station, and Bessie makes the best pies in the town, but she finds out she has cancer, and the whole town comes together and prays for her. There is Miss Ruth Hennessey, principal of Marshall Middle School, who is a no-nonsense woman on the outside but has a heart of gold on the inside. There's Jim Morrison, general contractor, and Randy Colthirst, the town's dentist. All three hang out nearly every weekday at the Chit Chat caf and their interactions and banter make for some lively discussions. And that's what makes the Chit Chat Cafe seem more like a home than a restaurant. There are many more memorable characters, including the mayor, police chief, fire chief, other pastors. You will grow to love the town and its people. The editor, who used to be a columnist for a major Chicago newspaper for twenty years, brings it all together. I would love to live in Connor myself!

Vicki had a part-time job at a local convenience store. She and I spoke earlier in the day discussing her new haircut. When she did not come home from work, I began to worry; by midnight I was frantic. The police didn't seem worried, but my intuition told me different. When one day turned into a week, our life turned upside down. A young girl is found murdered in our small town. Friends and relatives put out posters. Where could my daughter be? Who would take my child? My only hope was God. My upstairs attic became my prayer chambers. Here I lean on my heavenly Father to bring my girl home and ease our broken hearts. Where is my Vicki?

When we seek God's Kingdom first, He will unveil mysteries; and once there's a revelation from God's Word, revolution is inevitable!

Atheism is all over the world. One of the key reasons is the universal acceptance of the theory of evolution. Evolution implies that life on earth is a product of chance, i.e., a random process. This is the opposite of what the Bible teaches that God created life. For decades, the theory of evolution has been taught in high schools, colleges, and universities as the explanation for the origin of life. This has caused many people to depart from the belief in the existence of God. This issue was at the heart of a landmark US federal case in 2005, where scientists on both sides argued their positions. At the center of the debate is a microscopic molecular nanomachine found inside the bacteria, the flagellum. Intelligent design scientists argued that the bacterial flagellum could not have been a product of evolution because of its irreducible complexity. Evolutionist scientists argued on the contrary. The judge decided in favor of evolution. This book is written in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step manner so that even high school students and their parents can grasp the complex issues involved. Mr. Meimban demonstrated that the theory of evolution is the result of the erroneous use of correlation and extrapolating it to justify assertions of cause and effect. At the core of his exposition is a mathematical demonstration that the flagellum could not have been a product of random process. There is a creator. God exists. "e;The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good."e;-Psalm 14:1 (NIV)
