According to the well-known adage, “He who stands for nothing falls for anything.” It's about values and whether values are important to you in life, because if you choose to live by your values, you'll have to fight a tough battle against those who don't.


This book seeks to arm you with wisdom if soldiering on with values is what you prefer, unheeding of the pain and wounds.

Douglas R. Brown honors first responders in his book 'A Firefighter Christmas Carol And Other Short Stories'

Posted: 19-Oct-2021   Reposted: 03-Jun-2022



"The brave die never, though they sleep in dust: Their courage nerves a thousand living men." (Quote by Minot Judson Savage.) That's how our brave first responders(*), some of whom have selflessly laid down their lives to defend and protect us in the line of duty, live on in our hearts and continually inspire us to do the same should the need arise at any time in our lives.

This book is a collection of six great stories celebrating the lives of first responders and their circumstances. As we know, their fearless actions in the face of extreme dangers leave many scarred with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS), and PTSD. It's permanent and they have to live with it for life! And some lapse into other mental illnesses in the process.

Let's remember and be grateful to them for their brave and selfless lives.

(*) First responders are police, firefighters, 911, rescue and emergency services staff, etc. who are the first to attend to us in emergencies. We love them!

Review of the book 'The Printed' by Cameron Fitzgerald posted

Posted: 14-Oct-2021   Reposted: 04-Jun-2022

All the signs of the world's decline and decay are around us: the lost battle to global warming, natural resources (particularly drinking water) becoming scarce, many kinds of environmental pollution, a rash of pandemics and killer diseases occurring at frequencies never heard before, and so on. Govs are finding it hard to cope and are trying desparate measures to stem the speed at which were plunging into destruction. (Note: Destruction cannot be averted, it's only the speed at which we are approaching it that Govs are trying to contain!).


Religions, have been proclaiming the doom of the world for long. Now scientists and rational thinkers agree. In this scenario, can we expect the Bible's predictions about religious persecution to begin in the not-too-distant future? The author believes it's true.

In this book, in a fresh, surprisingly beautiful story form, the author portrays what he envisions the religious, particularly Christians, will have to suffer in future at the hands of an anti-religion world.

Book review of 'The Hidden Delight of God: How to Kill Your Fear' by John Hever added

Posted: 02-Oct-2021   Reposted: 03-Jun-2022


Christianity is unique among world religions on account of some of its teachings. For example, its teaching "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." (Luke 6:27-28) exceeds the highest teachings of other religions in the matter of loving others. The Hidden Delight of God is a spiritual book that discusses and lays emphasis on another: Jesus, as a living, supernatural power who alone breaks sins fetters and sets free those who believe and accept him. Let me explain it with an example: If you are addicted to something destructive like drugs or sex (or just anything else that has begun to control you like a slave-driver) and you can't break free, Jesus can by his supernatural power. Other religions only teach/warn you not to indulge in drugs but are powerless to set you free. Jesus welcomes you to listen to him like your doctor and try his redemptive power to set you free!
