My book ' The Story of Jesus, The Gnostic View, ' is different from most books about Jesus, in that it goes into his mother's birth and the choosing of her to be Jesus' mother. It also shows Jesus' birth and the real truth as to why he was born in a stable, within a cave, as to what his infancy and childhood was like. He had to learn to handle his powers which was not an easy undertaking!! It then goes into his adolescent years and the burdens of it entailed. His Young manhood presented a problem also as well as his responsibilities to his family and community. Following that is his Ministry which takes place at an alarming rate!! Many of his disciples were chosen way before his Ministry began. My book then goes into ' The Last Supper,' and the Crucifixion, and the following Resurrection, and the circumstances surrounding it. It does not stop there though as many Biblical epics portray. It moves past the Resurrection and takes you into the forty days after it. Following the Resurrection is the time of the Ascension of Jesus to his Father!! It does not end there though. The disciples now had a foundation that has stood the test of time for centuries. (The world has changed the Churches to fit the people,not the people to fit the Church!!) My Book is backed by four books: 1. The Bible (Prophecy and the book itself) 2. The Urantia Book (Urantia Foundation) A. ( I differ slightly about John the Baptist's father's death) 3. Edgar Cayce's Story of Jesus by Jeffry Furst (Berkeley Medallion, Coward McCann) 4. The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden (Meridian, New American Library) Jesus was extremely well educated and refined, compared to the image of an uneducated peasant carpenter portrayed by most of the Christian Churches of today. He is the Son of God, not God, as too many Churches say he is. If this is so, who is he praying to, while still on Earth!! He is beyond anything we can achieve in this world at this time!! This is his story as never told before in one book to this world!! It is now time to bring forth " The True Story of Jesus, as channeled through me. It is about a Religion and structure that is so old, yet so new in this time.

I SERVED was written differently from most other Vietnam memoirs. Instead of being a chronological recitation of my experiences growing up in the orphanage and then going to Vietnam and serving with Co. F, 51st Long Range Patrol (Airborne) Infantry, I made its focus be the characters in the story. That is its greatest strength and what makes it such a good read. Because I focused so closely on character, you really get to care about the person Don Hall because you know what makes him tick, what is important to him, and what drives him. You are also engaged by the other people you meet in the story because they are so clearly drawn. You don't have to be a military buff to enjoy the book. I SERVED is a factual story backed up by official U.S. Army records. Col. William C. Maus, the man who formed F/51st LRP, told me where to find that documentation. I also have copies of handouts we received when we went to Recondo School. Before he died, he told me how much he enjoyed reading the book. He praised me for having written such a great story about a unit he was proud to have commanded. He was a visionary who knew our unit was the vanguard for future U.S. Army military strategy and tactics. I remember his telling me at the time that F/51st LRP was making history. Being just a naïve 19-year-old staff sergeant, I didn't understand the significance of that statement. I do now. The current print and ebook versions of I SERVED are a second edition to the original 1994 hardbound edition, with a revised preface and afterword, a new War Stories section (with stories from other men with whom I served), and new photographs.

'Enormously enjoyable' Sunday Times 'Genial and entertaining' Daily Telegraph 'A joyous celebration of the founding fathers of British youth culture' Alwyn Turner, author of All in it Together and Little Englanders With their draped suits, suede creepers and immaculately greased hair, the Teddy Boys defined a new era for a generation of teenagers raised on a diet of drab clothes, Blitz playgrounds and tinned dinners. From the Edwardian origins of their fashion to the tabloid fears of delinquency, drunkenness and disorder, the story of the Teds throws a fascinating light on a British society that was still reeling from the Second World War. In the 1950s, working-class teenagers found a way of asserting themselves in how they dressed, spoke and socialised on the street. When people saw Teds, they stepped aside. Musician and author Max Décharné traces the rise of the Teds and the shockwave they sent through post-war Britain, from the rise of rock 'n' roll to the Notting Hill race riots. Full of fascinating insight, deftly sketching the milieu of Elvis Presley and Derek Bentley, Billy Fury and Oswald Mosley, Teddy Boys is the story of Britain's first youth counterculture.
