Tattered Edges
0$3.99 – $11.99As early as six, I began to emulate the essance of a boy trying to mimick my brother standing to pee; failing miserably. At twelve, an older neighborhood boy tried to rape me; all I knew, at this point, was no man would ever control me. Continuing in my tom-boy ways, my mother was appalled. The year that followed, puberty struck, remaining to be the most tragic day of my life. However, my athletic ability was revealed that summer during a softball game when I heard, “You should be playing on the other field with the boys!” My naked reflection in the mirror became problematic. My male alter-ego emerged. I bound my chest, changed my name, and headed to Southern California. I didn’t hate life or who I was, only what I was. This was just the begining, so hold on tight.
The Truth Will Set You Free: Eleven Myths Satan Uses to Deceive Man
0$9.99 – $16.95THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
If you asked an American, “Who is the prince of this world”, most will say, Jesus Christ. However, that is not what the Bible says:
(John 12:31) “Now is the time for judgement on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.”
John 16:11) “About Judgement, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.”
Another misconception man has is the God gave him freewill in order that he could make a decision for Christ in his life. God chooses us not the other way around! (Luke 10:22) “All things have been committed to me by my father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
The above two myth mentioned above are just part of the eleven myths covered in this book: “THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE, ELEVEN MYTHS SATAN USES TO DECEIVE MAN”. These lies exposes Satan’s plan he uses to destroy man’s relationship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Don’t accept my words, but check them out yourself. The Apostle Paul says that you should be like the “Bereans”: (Acts 17:11) “Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scripture every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
Satan lies and wants to take as many people to Hell with him, where he and his followers will spend eternity.

Above All
0$9.99Above All is an extensive exploration and expansion of the themes found in Psalm 22. This psalm delves into the deep connection Christ had with God at his birth, the apparent betrayal he experienced during his earthly mission, and the glorious outcomes that arise from his suffering. The author skillfully combines references from both the Old Testament and New Testament along with their creative imagination to craft a narrative about God’s loving purpose for humanity, the plan for redemption from the fall, and, above all, the fulfillment of that redemption.
Above All also offers insights into the reasons behind the wicked and terrible events that occur daily in the world and provides an explanation for why God does not always intervene. The story commences by imagining the thoughts of Jesus while he is on the cross at Calvary, and it places the reader in the role of a spectator, allowing them to witness what Jesus perceives, experiences, and does, starting from his time in the Garden of Gethsemane to the following three days after his crucifixion.
Outrageous Fortune: Meditations on Living Through a Pandemic and Troubled Times
0$3.99 – $11.99Navigating through troubled times is often fearful, terrifying, and disappointing. We want to make decisions that move us along, but we are also fearful about making the wrong choice. Especially, during this pandemic, we are fearful about our lives being touched by others, but with a deep desire to stay connected. These meditations trace the emotional upheaval of our struggle as well as provide hopeful solace in the struggle itself. Philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, spiritual advisors, and theologians are useful sources for this journey. In my endeavor to clarify and advance the singularity of our struggle, I have gleaned from many of those listed above. But most of all I have endeavored to dive into my own vulnerability, connecting myself to the human struggle for security and love.

Stories From The Boxcar: A Spiritual Journey
0$4.99 – $54.99Frank Varro, author of ‘Stories from the Boxcar,’ is a retired Methodist pastor, prison and hospice chaplain, missionary, teacher, counselor, and musician. He is from a three-generation family of China missionaries. This ‘Quilogy’ (five-books-in-one) is the story of his paternal Hungarian-immigrant heritage, and his maternal-missionary heritage. It relates to his father’s boyhood home-a boxcar on a siding in Regina, Saskatchewan-from which came his father’s many stories and life’s lessons, which is the theme of Dr. Varro’s book, pictures of his own life, struggles, victories, and detours along the way. The journey takes us through his international childhood in Alaska, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and five states of the U.S. He graduated from Morrison Academy, a Taiwan missionary boarding school; he also graduated from Seattle Pacific University, where he met and married Margo Moore, his accompanist-now his wife of fifty-six years. The story goes on with their own radio and TV missionary work, and teachers at Taipei American School in Taiwan; it continues with the birth of their daughter in Taiwan, and an around-the-world trip through Asia and Europe; then back to Seattle at the University of Washington-earning a Masters of Music, and Doctor of Music Arts in Choral Conducting degrees. He taught elementary, middle school, high school, and college music in Taiwan, Seattle, Oregon, Ohio, and Texas. After fifteen years as teacher and college music professor, Dr. Varro held music positions in churches, and founded two community music ensembles. Following times of spiritual struggle and renewal, he graduated from Houston Graduate School of Theology with Masters of Divinity, Masters of Arts in Counseling, and Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling degrees. He trained and was Staff Counselor at Samaritan Counseling Center in Houston. He founded Varro Counseling, spending the next twenty-two years in pastoral counseling, free-lance music, prison, and retreat ministries, as an ordained minister, in first the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, then the United Methodist Church, and finally the Global Methodist Church.
The last two books outline his spiritual struggle and renewal before ordination.

He and Margo have lived in Houston, Texas, for thirty-nine years.
Discovering My Royal Heritage While Surviving in Black Skin
0$3.99 – $22.99Surviving in Black Skin is an illuminating virtual journey within the black skin of the author whose life was abruptly uprooted from his southern home in Mobile, Alabama, and transplanted onto the western coast of Los Angeles, California. The reader learns that his family’s abrupt transplantation was part of a much larger southern exodus of people in black skins in reaction to the tortuous lynching of a 14-year-old kid named Emmitt Till. It’s quite a paradox that the continued lynching’s (6500 between 1865 and 1950), like the late George Floyd, didn’t limit the murders to the South.
The consequence of the covert and overt racism Webster experienced while living through the paradox of racial integration in high school, college, the Navy, as well as his workplace, provides the reader with Webster’s vision of the institutionalized xenophobia which exploded into the Watts Rebellion of 1965. Webster introduces the reader to the launching of: Black Student Unions, the Black Panthers, the Congress of Racial Equality, and some of their leaders such as Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis and the non-violent crusade of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. The author culminates these encounters by taking the reader out of the United States of America, to Africa’s Egypt only to discover his great ancestry; Pharaohs in Black Skins who were the original authors of the first written language, literally the very African birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
The reality that an advanced civilization of people in black skins, were the authors of the civilization of Ancient Egypt has not only been dismissed, but vehemently condemned by conventional Egyptologists, archaeologists, and even the present Arabian Egyptian government.
The reader will take away from this book a better sense of “WHAT HAPPENED?” How the ancestorial history of people in black skins was literally transformed into the Greek, Jewish, and Islamic history, while “Black History” is relegated to “Slave History.” Why are the names of the great Pharaohs not mentioned in the bible. The names of nearly every prince and priest are spelled out; first, second and third cousins; first and second wives; beggars and even prostitutes are named, but the names of the most important and powerful men and women in the world at the time are not mentioned. The king lists of pharaohs who ruled the most powerful and civilized country in the world for over three-thousand years aren’t named. The leaders that provided the very blueprint for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are never named, but simply referred to as pharaoh. Could it simply be because they were in Black Skins?
The reader will eventually discover that we are all just one human race with one common heritage.

Bullets of ’71: A Freedom Fighter’s Story
0$19.99Bullets of ’71: A Freedom Fighter’s Story details Dr. Nuran Nabi’s experience growing up in rural Bangladesh and living through the tumultuous episodes of the Bangladesh liberation movement and the liberation war. This is the true story of how a frail young man developed into a politically conscious student activist before transforming into a heroic freedom fighter in the Bangladesh Liberation War.
Throughout Dr. Nabi’s narrative, the untold stories of the Bangladesh Liberation War unfold. The sacrifices and heroic actions captured through Dr. Nabi’s words define more than his accomplishments, they define his entire generation. The Bangladesh Liberation War was a people’s war. Men and women, young and old, students, farmers, bureaucrats, laborers, political activists, and defected Bengali soldiers of the Pakistani military, all joined the liberation war. Bullets of ’71 is their story.
The Bangladesh liberation war was bloody. Three million people were killed, thousands of women were raped, and ten million people were forced to become refugees. However, this story transcends the events of the war. It explores the political backdrop amongst China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and India. Dr. Nabi effectively illustrates how the selfish decisions of a few world leaders led to millions of crimes perpetrated against humanity.
But among all the pages in this book, none are more candid and horrific than those that cover the atrocities committed by the Pakistani military. Although the Bangladesh genocide unfolded during the nine months of the liberation war, Dr. Nabi thoughtfully separates these stories to remind us of why he and his fellow freedom fighters fought.
Bullets of ’71: A Freedom Fighter’s Story is the most authentic account of the events that transpired in 1971 Bangladesh. It is a captivating story that captures the elements of the universal struggle for freedom.
A Silent Cry
0$5.99 – $11.99It’s easy for anyone to feel isolated and alone, especially when we feel confused or embarrassed by the experiences we have. Sometimes those we should trust most are the ones who do us harm – and sometimes those we turn to for help surprise us by turning away. When this happens, we learn to distrust others and even ourselves.
These are the heart-wrenching realities facing a young woman named Clair in the pages of A Silent Cry. Enduring sexual abuse at a young age, as well as other personal abuses throughout her life, Clair must struggle with the difficult realization that her family is not a source of safety and security for her. These traumas teach her to feel different, victimized, and defenseless, even into her adult years, and the result is severe depression. Afraid to trust anyone yet afraid of turning them away, Clair eventually reaches out to the counsel of a caring aunt, who tries to show her an alternative to her lonely life through faith in God and finding peace within herself.
The story of Clair’s strong will to move forward, and her aunt’s sincere words and guidance, offers hope for those experiencing similar personal dilemmas, as well as inspiration to those who can reach out to help a loved one through unimaginable difficulties in life.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE MADE A GOD FOR A DAY?…Understanding The Essence and Mystery of Love
0$4.99 – $19.99WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE MADE A GOD FOR A DAY, is a book that depicts the essence and power of God’s love by blending fictional characters into Biblical truth. It points out what the fundamental role of the church in modem society should be. In other words, instead of condemning others by being judgmental in our self-righteousness, we can just demonstrate the love of God from our hearts, and do the most good to our fellow human beings.
This book unequivocally reveals the common errors in today’s church and how “the body of Christ” (the Church) has traded its basic responsibility for materialism, money, and fame; thus, leaving the members languishing in the sea of doubt, bemusement, manipulation, lies, insecurity, and deception. As a result, the faithful are gradually turning away from the truth to find solace outside of the church, seeking answers in man’s philosophies and other religions.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE MADE A GOD FOR A DAY, brings us back to the basics and teaches the true meaning of the Christian faith as it relates to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ (Yehoshua), especially as it is written in Matthew 25: 31-46 respectively.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY ELITISTS: Totalitarian Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing
0$17.99Utilizing the ten planks of communism, Democratic Party Elitists: Totalitarian Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing draws parallels with much of what has occurred in the United States since the Progressive Era, most of it implemented by the Democratic Party presidents, but some of it from the Republican side of the aisle. It is an analysis of the implementation of communist, or statist, rule in America and it clearly describes the strategies employed by the Democratic Party to achieve its goal of totalitarian rule.
Making Your Own Reality: A Survival Story
0$5.99 – $18.99Making Your Own Reality is a collection of the experiences that guided James Meade, Jr. from being an animal-like survivor of a massive brain injury to being a Ph.D in Psychology and an internationally-known speaker who has shared with audiences around the United States and the world. Dr. Meade has worked with brain-injured individuals and their families around the world and has seen people create miracles that even other professionals thought could never happen.

Witness
0$8.99In 2013, I wrote and published a book titled “You Have Got to Be Kidding.” in which I cataloged numerous life events that I believed to be the results of an amazing series of “good luck”. Some of these events were actually life-threatening, which I obviously survived. Example: Two of the best things that occurred in my life happened on the same day in 1961. I did not know it at the time but on that day, I joined the Marine Corps and met my future wife. That was the beginning of a seemingly endless series of events that I attributed to luck, fortune, or fate. I finally realized in 2022 that these events were in reality, instances of Divine Intercession or Intervention. I list the events chronologically and then ask the reader to decide if it was good luck or Godly Influence. I finally began to understand Christianity and am, as I say, A. Believer.
Issue Driven Life: Don’t Let Idiots Ruin Your Day
0$3.99 – $9.99There are factors that orchestrate our behavior, our choices, and ultimately our destiny. These factors very often go unseen and undetected and yet they push and drive us without our conscious permission. The individuals that make up our personal community are also subject to this dynamic. The Bible uses a notion to define our circle “Two will not be together unless they agree” (paraphrased).
This book will give insight into the driving elements that not only create the character and purposes of the people around us; it will also explain why we are friendly or associated with those in our lives.
Are you sure that the people we socialize with, date, and marry are the people who presented themselves? What you see is not always what you get. Some people have unspoken agendas and their behaviors are telling us something.
Revealed in this writing is the how and why we stumble into the minefields of relational horrors.
