Book
Soft Money
by E. L. Burton
The world is made up of all sorts of colors, all intertwined to form a magnificent creation. The greens of the grass and trees, the blues of the sky and ocean: these are the physical beauties that man just takes for granted. But what about the other colors of the world, the ones that can only be seen with the heart, such as love, fear, ignorance, hatred, faith, trust, joy and friendship? This book is about such a person. Challenged by the loss of sight at birth, a young woman recounts some of her life struggles in order to inspire others. Greatly encouraged by her parents not to give up in anything that she tried to do, this woman learned at an early age to be persistent, even when the situation looked slim. This book shines with some of her funny experiences, as well as some of her frustrating and horrifying ones. Even so, all that this young woman faces, all that she is able to accomplish, she dedicates her thanks and appreciation to first Almighty God, and then to her wonderful parents. For her parents, she says, are her heroes, and she wants the world to know this. Hence the title of this book.
Book
Gates of Fire
by Steven Pressfield
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Steven Pressfield brings the battle of Thermopylae to brilliant life.”—Pat Conroy At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood three hundred strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army. Day after bloody day they withstood the terrible onslaught, buying time for the Greeks to rally their forces. Born into a cult of spiritual courage, physical endurance, and unmatched battle skill, the Spartans would be remembered for the greatest military stand in history—one that would not end until the rocks were awash with blood, leaving only one gravely injured Spartan squire to tell the tale. . . .
