The passion of my mission had its roots in my youth when I rejected the dogma and doctrine of organized religion. I drifited in and out of several Christian denominations, always seeking answers to questions which religious people could not answer to my satisfaction. My joy and enthusiasm for life and learning have been sharply curtailed by the sobering reality that we live in a troubled world from which I cannot escape. I frequently think of the many children who go to sleep hungry every night, many of them wet and cold.

What you are about to hear is the true, untold story of the god the world has come to know as Superman. There are many things that must be cleared regarding this "man", much lore and superstition that must be debunked if we ever hope to grasp his true identity and nature. The first fable that must be put to bed is the notion that Superman is an alien from Krypton, a fiction clearly made up to protect his actual identity. You see his story is real, and that is why it has been told, this is why you think you know it.

You have been endowed a gift, Lucas. You have been entrusted with a sickle and a staff, whose use and inherent powers you have only seen glimpses of in your short life. These powers will steadily increase, condense, sharpen, and grow. They will progressively submit to the dominion of your command. As with all tools, instruments, weapons, and power, these have the potential to be misused or not, to be properly handled, or not.

In these 18 stories we also meet: a distraught husband who experiences heartbreak and salvation after a texting teenager changes his life; a man who returns to his hometown to find his first love stacking jars in Costco; a western sheriff who confronts a pedophile - and his own past; and a successful attorney who abandons his career to play the iPad guitar.

But, for a poor kid in a rich town, that just isn't how it works. In Mount Collier, kids like Edric can't have it all.

Living transcendentally is not the same as "having the answers to life". The intention with which this book is written is to help you identify the God within yourself. Religion is a guidepost, but not the answer. Philosophy is a guidepost, not the answer. People who over-identify with one group or tribe for ideological reasons invariably meet with disappointment because there will always be some tenets they internally oppose and disagree with. Yet they ignore their inner voice in order to "fit in with the rest".

The complete Blood Series - All three books plus the Prequel: It's in the Blood - Book One: Destroyer's Blood - Book Two: First Blood and Book Three: Time for Blood all together in one audiobook. From book one: "Blood is mightier than the Sword. Dev is a Master Thief, the son of Prometheus, and a bad-boy with a talking magic sword called Betrayer. Newly named the Protector of Men by his Titan father, he and Tray prefer to stay far away from Olympus and the squabbles of the Gods".

With its acid edge and wicked humor, JL Davis (writing as Jeff Davis) delivers a rapid fire depiction of bureaucracy gone wild that digs underneath the fingernails of the typical blue collar worker, satirizing both modern day relationships and business life. Specifically, if we can't stand our jobs and families, live for the day to escape!
