New Book Takes Careful Look at Biblical Signs of Rapture

Posted on May 29, 2014 by Bobby Bernshausen | 0 Comments

One of the most controversial subjects of Christiandom, with both believers and skeptics, concerns the Rapture or “taking up” of believers. While many evangelists, authors and others try to set timelines or introduce new theories, the new book The Rapture —When You See All These Things takes a careful, studied approach to the signs the Bible clearly indicates will appear before the event. After over 35 years of intense study on the subject, author H.R. Shick points out the book is entirely his opinion and encourages readers to do their own research and investigation. To aid in that quest, Shick provides examples of misguided interpretation, gives tips on the proper use of discernment, offers a full index of biblical topics to examine and features charts to assist in the understanding of key events. Shick holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Princeton University and a Master of Divinity from Talbot Theological Seminary. He is an ordained minister and has planted churches in California and New Jersey.

The Rapture —When You See All These Things is available in softcover (ISBN 978-1-62137-459-6 ) at Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com. The book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. More information can be found at www.rapturebook.com

"Henry's Re-Entry" Receives Coveted Kirkus Reviews Star

Congratulations to Welcome Cole on receiving a glowing review and a coveted star from Kirkus on his book, "Henry's Re-Entry."

HENRY'S RE-ENTRY by Welcome Cole

KIRKUS REVIEW

Cole’s (The Pleasure of Memory, 2013) novel is equal parts snark-filled road trip and bittersweet confrontation of past sins. Henry wakes up in a gas station bathroom, crusty with vomit and missing both a shoe and his wallet. Exiting, he finds himself in New Mexico, his car nowhere in sight and his memory lost to a weekend of boozing. This is his re-entry into a miserable life spent guilt-ridden over how he treated Zoe, his wife, who’s been dead for four years. Naturally, his first stop is a bar just steps away. Clarence, the philosophically inclined bartender, insists that he drink some water. During the ensuing back and forth, Clarence calls Henry out on carrying needless emotional baggage. Eventually, Henry leaves and begins hitchhiking; he meets a string of fascinating people, including Rev. Joshua White, a social worker named Mrs. Pena, and the stunning Alice—a dangerously perfect companion who’s on a yearly pilgrimage with her siblings. Henry joins Alice and company in their van, hoping to reach California while reluctantly cleansing himself of the idea that he’s no good for people. Has Zoe’s ghost trapped him, or can Henry be salvaged from this self-destructive epic outing? Cole’s tale of impossible redemption is, sentence for sentence, a textural feast. Fabulous lines like, “He collected friends the way a lumberjack collected trees...[they] only complicated his plans,” pop on every page. Equally marvelous is his dialogue; Clarence tells Henry, “You like the drama because it makes you feel important, gives you a sense of purpose, a reason for not being dead.” Readers will savor Cole’s narrative as it unfolds across a series of conversations that are by turns probing, poignant and hilarious. From his time with Rev. White, readers learn that Henry is a relentless cynic; from Mrs. Pena, that he’s softer than he appears. Alice, with eyes like bright green kryptonite, threatens all of his bourbon-drenched defenses. By the end, readers will wish these terrific characters could stick around longer. Cole maps out a propulsive emotional journey.

New Exposé Enlightens Readers on American Communist Tactics

Posted on October 03, 2013 by Bobby Bernshausen | 0 Comments

In the new book, A Look Inside the Playbook: How Marxists Plan to Destroy America, Dr. Anthony Napoleon and Yevgeni Yevtushenkov provide insight on American Communist strategies and tactics in this explosive tell-all exposé.

Acting as The Bible of American Communist subversion approaches, the reader will learn Marxist’s methods, their thinking, strategies, and inside secrets that have been used so successfully against the people of the United States of America. Through the artful use of détournement, the author provides his readers with a representation of the dangerously sophisticated revolutionary techniques being used by collectivist radicals intent upon subverting American principles and values and replacing them with Marxist inspired tyranny.

Forensic psychologist Dr. Anthony Napoleon has made a career studying manipulative and subversive human behavior. He is an expert on mind control, impression management, and cultural subversion. His prior literary works include studies on visual image and how we can all be manipulated by looks and image. His classic treatise on Progressivism, The Progressive Virus, has educated tens of thousands about the dangerous effects and consequences of progressives and their collectivist mindset. Yevgeni Yevtushenkov was named after the Russian poet Yevgeni Yevtushenko. His love of America was born from his dreams of freedom while still living in the former Soviet Union.

A Look Inside the Playbook: How Marxists Plan to Destroy America is available in softcover (ISBN 978-1-62137-304-9) and Ebook (ISBN 978-1-62137-305-6) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com. This book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States and United Kingdom.
