"Let me tell you a story." What sentence draws us in with more magnetism? In his book, Rocking Chair Tales, author John William Smith seeks to draw in readers with a collection of short stories intended to light up the imagination and spark conversation. Stories short enough to be read aloud will cause the reader to recall fond memories and perhaps share his or her own stories. Smith's tales, mostly drawn from his childhood, are true, yet they serve as parables because "they give truth flavor by attaching names, faces, and geographical locations to abstract notions and emotional realities." His recollections serve as a powerful tool to recapture those magical moments which lay hidden within our cluttered lives.

"Our very way of life as we know it is at stake, insists Pastor John Hagee. As we face impending nuclear war in the Middle East, continued conflict over Israel, and the death of the dollar, Hagee believes these global threats could have devastating results for America. The proof is staggering and includes an "enemies list" published by the Department of Homeland Security that includes ordinary, lawabiding citizens and a personal conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the coalition of Russia and Iran in their nuclear efforts. Pastor Hagee concludes his message with a narrative of the year 2012, a spellbinding description of armageddon--the Mother of All Battles--and the ultimate coming of the Messiah" --Cover, p. 2.
