"Although, I knew at the time I was taking a huge political risk, I thought getting the deficit down, continuing economic expansion, and employment in this country were more important than my earlier campaign pledge not to raise taxes; thus our budget agreement was in the best interest of the country... This book helps clarify and explain the effects of the '1990 Budget Deal, ' and I am grateful to Professor Ostrander for tackling this very complicated task of explaining one of the most controversial events of my Presidency... Mostly, I hope this book will give the reader some insight into the art of negotiation and compromise and our system of government at work."

George Bush

The Day I Carried the King by Julie Venables

Author, Julie Venables, has written a charming, touching, yet important book for children. The unlikely hero is a small donkey named Jasper, who became integral to the story of Jesus, the Messiah and His triumphal entry into Jerusalem only days before the crucifixion. Below is the author's personal note to children about this special book destined to become a classic.

"God has a special plan for Jasper, the donkey. As you read this wonderful story remember you, too, are special to Jesus. He knows your name. Finding out what God has for each one of us is the most exciting part of life's adventure. Jasper had things to learn so he would be ready for the day he carried the King! Even though Jasper felt small and insignificant, he came to realize that his life was unique. His early years were a preparation for the wonderful time when he would become useful to Jesus, the King of Kings. Jasper learns, among other things, that God looks at our hearts more than our outward appearance." - Julie Venables

Ancient Destiny III - Generations by Albert Lynn Clark

This book might be about women's lib or is it polygamy? Women need to play the main role in space travel and especially colonization. This SF series presents many issues to ponder and suggests some inventions needed for space travel. The series starts in today's world and through forced invention gets mankind into space colonization to save the human race. Most of the science presented is in some stage of development now. If you want to travel for months in space and then create a colony on an empty planet, you need more women than men. On a spaceship, or in a scientific laboratory, women can do what a man would do. The man may be better at leadership because women tend not to want to lead, but in reading this series you might agree with the author about the makeup of the crew. There are a number of morale issues.

This is the 3rd book in the Ancient Destiny saga.

Book 1 describes the threat to Earth and the SHIP that has taught the great scientists of Earth.

Book 2 is the escape from Earth with many scientific concepts for space travel, explorations for new earthlike planets, the escape and journey to new planets, establishing colonies on new planets.

Book 3 adds new crewmembers as replacements, new science concepts, searches for knowledge on other planets, visiting Earth years after its destruction, encountering an enemy, finding who built SHIP and the so called, Library of Atlantis, more Martian history and first contact with the Galactic Alliance.

Dureti Tadesse, widely known as Mimi is the author of the inspiring book Resilience; Turning Persecution Into purpose, a humanitarian, and the founder of C.G. Women’s Empowerment (CGWE). She was born and raised in Oromia state of Ethiopia, where she endured discrimination, imprisonment, and both physical and emotional torture due to her ethnicity, faith, and gender.

In the 1990s, her and her husband Daniel Daffa sought asylum in the United States in search of freedom and opportunity. Through faith, perseverance, and education, she rebuilt her life and earned degrees in Business Administration, allowing her to build a successful professional career while dedicating herself to service.

With over 23 years of nonprofit experience, in 2012, Mimi and her husband founded C.G. Women’s Empowerment, a Christian-based nonprofit organization committed to creating economic self-sufficiency for women, children, and entire communities in Ethiopia’s Oromia State.

She is deeply honored to be a recipient of the 2024 Mahogany Columbus Community Leader Award, the 2018 Paul Harris Fellow Award, and multiple community service honors. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to empower women and children in rural areas, restore dignity, to share the love of Christ through CGWE work, and turn adversity into lasting impact. Her life and her book stand as proof that even the deepest suffering can give birth to purpose.
