The accounts described within Show-Me Veterans help to inspire an acknowledgment and appreciate of all veterans who have served Missouri and the United States. Many of these men and women voluntarily enlisted, oftentimes through the encouragement of a parent or loved one who served in the military. Others, perhaps, were drafted, thus being compelled into service but performing their assigned duties in an admirable fashion and without qualm or hesitation. These Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen and Merchant Marines - along with our Gold Star veterans who either came home under a flag-draped coffin or those whose remains were never recovered - all deserve the public's unwavering respect, for they are the pride of the Show-Me State. It is the author's intent that these stories - spanning the Civil War and carrying forth into more recent conflicts - encourage others to search within their own family circles and communities for forgotten military legacies that need to be resurrected and shared with future generations. No single work can, in any way, fully capture the bravery and highlight the sacrifices of our state's military heroes, but this compilation provides an introduction to the lives of the men and women who have gone forth into harm's way, preserving the freedoms that we have enjoyed since Missouri became the twenty-first state admitted to the Union in 1821.
During the early-morning hours of 1898 in the small community of Gas City, Indiana, a strange, mournful sound of thirteen bell tolls was heard coming from the high school's bell tower. How the tolling could be accomplished inside a locked building was not known. At the same time, the body of a young man, a recent high school graduate, was discovered. Many wondered if the haunting spirit of 'Gary the Ghost', who died at the school under mysterious circumstances, was signaling his final acts of revenge against the Class of '98. It was now up to Marshal Justin Blake and his deputies to unravel this ghastly murder and bring about the capture of the killer - be it man or spirit.
In the first volume of Donnie''s life, "Face Down: The Donnie Foster Story" we read of the life God allowed Donnie to experience the first forty years of his life. I believe God anointed Donnie''s conception with a heavy heart for the life Donnie would face. For forty-plus years, he spiraled down in a life of abuse leading to addictions and all the ramifications that come with it. In the world of addiction, every day is a crap shoot: You''re as likely to live as you are to die. "But God"...those beautiful words...But God spared Donnie''s life. Why? Because God said in his Word: "I will rescue you from your own people. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God." (Acts 26:17, 18 NIV) This verse says it all.
This book is funny, serious, and really weird. I should have called it "The Book of Nonsense," but that didn''t make any sense. I hope it will "quack" you up. A few secrets to happiness are hidden in it, but not really well because I want you to find them. One of them is laughter. I used to think that my secret was wine, till one day one of those silly ducks stole my bottle, and I had to sober up. I know which one it was too, cause I recognize that voice, saying "When possible, make a legal U-turn." My mind was working that day, so I realized he was right. I wrote this book for your enjoyment, encouragement, education, and any other benefit you can get that will help you a little in your travels through life.

We are all unique and special. God created us before we were born, fearfully and wonderfully made, with a customized personality, individual gifts and talents, and physical characteristics that are uniquely ours. No one person is better than another. We are what we are. Rather than try to compare ourselves with someone else, God wants us to discover and accept who we are and who we were created to be. By doing so, we are better able to love ourselves and others, fulfill the purpose for which we were created, and let our light so shine for all the world to see.
We all have a story that tells where God met us in the place where we were. "Windows to The Soul" is Marty Norman''s story, written in prose over a thirty-year period. The poetry reflects everyone''s journey of pain, brokenness, conviction of sin, death, rebirth, and redemption. A book of hope, joy, love, and peace, it offers a unique perspective into God''s grace and mercy through forgiveness and reconciliation.
