If you have ever watched a lifetime movie, get ready for this story—only it’s real life. Hostage in America reveals the struggles of a teen who suffered abuse and then was put through years and years of attorney, court-appointed counselors, forced reunification therapists, and corruption by the United States court system on his quest for freedom.
THE SCARRED OAK
This is the story of a young boy growing up in a small village located on the German border in southern Holland. He witnessed the start of WWII and all its cruelty. He was there when the Allied offensive came through his village. He also saw the horror of a defeated retreating German Army.
When he met the first American soldiers, he made himself a promise that when he grew up, he would go to America.
After some very troublesome young years while working in the coal mines and the loss of best friends, a very old oak tree changed his life forever. When he and young wife finally were ready to emigrate to the USA, they came to the conclusion that every country in western Europe had a quota for emigrating to the USA. The quota for Holland was filled for eight years.
The two decided to go to Canada instead. In 1958 they emigrated to Canada, and after five years and three months, they became Canadian citizens. In 1966 they emigrated to the USA, and in 1972 Eric finally fulfilled his promise to himself to become an American citizen. He traveled worldwide and lived through many experiences. It was truly an amazing word he lived in.
My Words Were All I Had
Although Sebastian isn’t all words, he would also take action in seducing Valerie. He’s always put so much into his words and has always counted on them. From flirting to advice, and even life lessons. He would do best through his words. When he lied to Valerie and damaged her trust in him, he tried doing and saying anything to get her back and get her to forgive him. She refused to hear him out and forgive him, since he tried to seduce her with his words from the beginning. But now, to win her back, he feels that all he ever gave was his words, and all he was left to use were his words. Since even his actions didn’t work, all he can provide is his words. She’s the one that has to choose whether to forgive him or not.
Observations of a Warrior Poet
My early lessons taught me to work hard and fight through the obstacles that would be encountered in my life. My poetic efforts began simply, without much structure, as I wrote about the issues that I was dealing with daily. Surviving homelessness and the culture that pierces through it, such as substance abuse, hostility, personal safety, etc., I was compelled to write about topics in a way that was clear and not overly symbolic. I soon began to feel drawn to issues that in my earlier days I was not active in, such as politics. Throughout this journey, most of my other interests would find their way to my paper as I tried to reexamine those concepts from a different vantage point. And though using “old-school” rhyme may not be the most popular these days, it is within my comfort zone as I continue to be a work in progress.
The New World: The Awakening
In The New World: The Awakening, God has lost hope and faith in His creation and is planning to destroy it and start anew. Mankind’s only hope to stop God from His plans of destruction rests in the hands of Lyric Daniels, a goddess incarnate from the alternate reality Gaia.
As Lyric’s mission begins, she struggles with the ability to ascend Earth, knowing that that’s the only way. For some reason, her powers are foreign to her, and she can’t remember how to harness and awaken them. But once she finds her memory, which she stored away for safekeeping, she can convince God that mankind is worth saving.
Accompanied by her best friends, Miles and Denise, and under the protection and guidance of her Gaian, her twin soul, Jason, Lyric endures life-threatening trials and tribulations along the way. Unbeknownst to her, the journey will become more difficult than she could have ever imagined.
In the end, she will be faced with the decision to either sacrifice herself to save Earth, or to return to Gaia and live out her last incarnate life with Jason.
Cat
A horrific act of terrorism is unfolding on United States soil—not in a large metropolitan city, but in a small rural community…
Catherine, known to most as Cat, is a brash, cocky, fast-talking teenager whose family has moved from life in the city to a small rural town in Kentucky. Due to her love of the outdoors and living off the land, this move excites her. Many would consider her to be a modern-day Annie Oakley. However, her faith and heart of gold frequently get her in hot water with local law enforcement.
She has a love for target shooting, especially extreme long-range, which becomes a borderline obsession. This leads her to seek out Mike—an old, grumpy, retired force recon Marine sniper that thinks Cat is a royal pain in his rear. He does finally agree to coach her, if for no other reason than to get her to stop asking.
During the following months, Cat prepares for the biggest long-range rifle competition in the world. A win would be enough prize money to pay for her and her siblings’ education. However, she makes some unsettling observations in her travels leading up to this important competition.
What happens next can be a major turning point in so many lives…
Cat settles into her rifle, slipping into her bubble of concentration. Taking three deep cleansing breaths to lower her heart rate, she says a prayer. She looks through her scope and realizes this is not a competition. This is a matter of life or death and places the lives of many, including her own family, at risk. The next three rounds fired from her rifle will be a tough 1,700-yard, uphill, switching-wind affair.
She places her finger on the trigger and slowly starts to squeeze…
What is Eternal Salvation?
When someone talks about spiritual or biblical knowledge and understanding, salvation that is eternal is the most important concept to know and understand. I have read many books, attended many Sunday school lessons, and heard a lot of preachings/teachings that talk about God’s love, grace, faith, and salvation.
The problem is that the vast majority of people that go to church every Sunday and most of the ministers in churches seem to not know or understand what salvation is and what it implies. The primary goal of God and the Bible is for man to receive salvation, which is eternal and free, a gift to man by God’s love, grace, and faith in His words that cannot lie. Salvation is and should be the most important word in any language because there is no way to see or explain how God saved by grace through faith alone if salvation is not eternal.
My booklet, What is Eternal Salvation? A Big Lie or Simple Truth? was written because of the problems I experienced and to help others have a clearer understanding of what salvation is and how and why it is true. I have dedicated myself as the spiritual paralegal of my family, friends, and community. Like I always say, this could be the best and most important little book you have never read because until you understand salvation, and that it is eternal, the Good News of the Gospel will never make good sense.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
—Romans 1:16
Questions
Does going to heaven depend on what you believe or how you behave?
What is salvation, and what does it imply?
What does it mean to be saved? Saved by grace? To have salvation?
What is the biblical understanding of these words: a Christian, justification, sanctification, redemption, reconciliation, propitiation, imputation, glorification, and apostasy?
Do you know what all those words mean and imply?
When does a person get salvation, eternal life, etc.?
Until you know the right answers, the good News of the Gospel will never make good sense. Remember that eternal life, heaven, and salvation is free, is eternal, and a gift. If you can’t answer those questions, guess what, you need to read this book!
I will always try to bring a smile to a person’s face because of the joy and love that comes from Jesus in my heart.
—2 Corinthians 4:3–6

The Faith of the Blind Coach
I hope this book clearly and properly explains the career, life, and legacy of Coach James P. “Bubbling” Small, who gave us and future concerned coaches a blueprint for success as teachers, mentors, father figures for their children, father figures for boys and girls, a husband, a parent, but most all men and women of character and respect for the craft of coaching.
Coach James P. “Bubbling” Small, you have set the course of how success looks like. You have truly been a blessing to me and many, many, many others. You did a wonderful and skillful job in teaching, mentoring, coaching, and preparing young boys and girls for life. Now God has called you home to be with him, as the scripture says, and I will paraphrase it, “You have run a great race, you have shown us how to finish our coast, now take your rest.” Thank you for all the lessons that we’ve learned from your teachings, wisdom, coaching, and guidance as your last day ended on November 19, 1975. Coach James P. “Bubbling” Small, I hope I have kept my promise to you, Mrs. Lillian Small, my mother and father, but most of all to my Lord and Savor Jesus Christ that whatever I continue to do and how I continue to treat people, all of you will be proud.
Agape,

Enslaved Mind
Enslaved Mind is not for the weak of heart. Enslavement—that’s what happens when you have a weak mind and you are not willing to chase and see the truth. It is for the one who is willing to open their mind and see that there is always a better option. As you will learn in this book, you can overcome enslavement of the mind if you just open your eyes and believe. Believe what is inside. Sometimes we have to open our eyes and realize that we cannot let anyone control or mind. This right here is just a test of what is about to come. There is more to enslavement, and I would love for you to stay and grow.
