J. Patrick Thomas’ Inspirational A Call to Faith: The Journey Of A Cancer Survivor is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.8 Stars on 22 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample
May I pray for you? Five words that would forever change my life.
No, I am neither a priest nor rabbi, but I was the recipient of those words from a doctor several years ago when being told that I was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and had a small chance of survival, and included the phrase as the opening passage in my book, A Call to Faith. Although surviving cancer is a recurrent theme, it is weaved throughout the text in the genre of inspirational and religious bodies of work, similar in vein to The Shack or 90 Minutes in Heaven. The struggles are real and give expression to both grief and hope. The events encountered in the story are true. The story is my story and expressed from a third person point of view.
The story is set in Charleston and finds its characters meandering throughout the Lowcountry. Young and handsome, beautiful wife and children, and a small fortune before the age of thirty. He had it all – or did he? Skip Sibley (main character) never knew his marine aviator father who died in a plane crash when he was young. Struck with the tragedy of a younger sister who committed suicide in college and who continued to pay apparitional visits to Skip in times of need. Encounters with God at just the appropriate time when giving up on life was more than a thought. But his toughest battles may still lie ahead of him; finding his faith in God through cancer and divorce.
This faith-based work takes its readers on a tour of the South from churches to hospitals. Southern flavor is established as the Sibley family seeks help from Gullah native Ms. Janie, who cares for Skip and the children during their time of need. The story attempts to show resilience in the face of adversity that comes into each of our lives, and that only through finding a relationship with God can we ensure that life will continue beyond death. It can touch the hearts of those who have lived or visited the Lowcountry, or who have lost loved ones to cancer, suicide or accidental death.

After reading this book, I have an even greater appreciation for the new life I have as a believer.

It is a rare thing when an author is capable of baring their soul so fearlessly while maintaing the briskness and pacing of a detective novel. This book will inspire, provoke, challenge, and demand introspection, but most of all, it will entertain. – “robertp”
How does one survive? Enjoying a carefree life and young worldly success, Thomas could never know the devastating trials awaiting his future. The true blessing is his Call to Faith. This book is an honest and heartfelt story of ones mans devastating experiences, which God has lead him through. There is much hope to be found in these pages, an inspiring and worthwhile read. The true miracle in this journey is Thomas finding the Lord and learning the struggles he endured are worth his eternal salvation. – Barbara Kristek

The Land of the Long Sleep
by Michael Siebenaler
Most captains never made it to the ten-year mark. Alen was at nine. One more year and he could retire from the endless war raging at his landlocked nation’s borders; it would be time for the next generation to bleed. But Alen always knew retirement was more of a dream than a reality.
Set in a medieval past on a world much like Earth, THE LAND OF THE LONG SLEEP opens in the months prior to what should be Alen’s final campaign. However, in an attempt to permanently win the war, the nation’s illiterate king strips the land of all resources, amassing a grand army and marching out from his starving kingdom to conquer or be conquered. Unable to comprehend written history, he is unaware that he is making the same mistakes as all of his predecessors.
With the existence of the nation in peril, Alen discovers through the assistance of an unlikely friend that the only way to win the war now is to make war itself the ultimate casualty.

KILL ALL THE LAWYERS (Solomon vs. Lord)
by Paul Levine
in its Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged!
It all starts with a 300-pound marlin stuck in Solomon’s front door. Prank? Threat? High tide? Even by South Florida standards, this registers as weird.
Soon, celebrity shrink “Dr. Bill” shows up. Just out of prison, he blames Solomon for his manslaughter conviction involving the death of a patient. Victoria Lord is used to her law partner and lover cutting corners to win. But Dr. Bill claims Solomon tried to lose!
As a lawyer who always follows the rules, Victoria is appalled by one of Solomon’s Laws: “Thou shalt not screw thy own client…unless thou hast a damn good reason.”
With Dr. Bill on the loose, neither Steve nor Victoria are safe, and their relationship – both personal and professional – is on the rocks. Will this be the end of Solomon and Lord?

Dark Rising (The Dark Matter Chronicles)
by M.X. Kremzen
The ancient and powerful Arcana have fallen. The knowledge they recorded was lost. The artifacts they gathered from civilizations throughout the universe have been destroyed. Their ability to harness the powers of dark matter couldn’t save them. Many are dead. The rest are scattered. And the vengeful defector that brought them down has begun his hunt for the remaining survivors.
When sixteen-year-old Alexander learns he’s an Arcana, the hunt is already underway. All his gadgets, books, and plans to run away have to be put aside. And when James, the young alien instructed to take him to safety lapses him into the heart of enemy territory to settle a personal score, Alexander has no choice but to accept the responsibilities placed on him. That includes learning to wield his new-found dark matter abilities, even though he’d rather not. But nothing is as simple as it seems. Secrets have been kept. A truth has been hidden for thousands of years. If Alexander doesn’t learn who and what he actually is in time, it’s not just his life he’ll lose. Entire worlds will die with him.

Ads on the New Kindles – Unsubscribing is Easy as 1-2-3 … and $15
Ads on the New Kindles – Unsubscribing is Easy as 1-2-3 … and $15
We’ll have our first detailed hands-on reviews of the Kindle Fire HD later this week, but we did want to share some basic information about the on-Kindle ads that have created a bit of controversy. Amazon had a bit of a hiccup about this at launch, but they’ve straightened things out reasonably well.
First, the new Kindle HD units that are supposed to arrive Friday are ad-supported. Revenue from ads is clearly part of the equation that allowed Amazon to price these units below $200.
Second, it’s a snap to turn the ads off directly on your Manage Your Kindle page, and the cost of “unsubscribing” is $15, compared with $30 for previous ad-supported eInk Kindles.
Third, I hope you’ll give yourself a couple of days to work with the ad-supported Kindle Fire HD, if you’ve got one on the way, before you pull the plug on the ads. They are totally unintrusive to the reading experience, and my experience with the ad-supported eInk Kindle (which we took to calling the Kindeal) has been that the ads paid for themselves in a very short time, as I explained in this July 2011 post:
But if you do want to pull the plug on the ads, like I say, it’s a snap. Just go to your Manage Your Kindle page, locate and select Manage Your Devices, and find the Kindle in question, as here:
Make your selection, and you’re done!
