Justin Hayes is richly blessed. He grew up the son of a preacher and a school teacher, and like most boys in the rural South, he grew up hunting and fishing. He earned his money in the tobacco and hay fields surrounding his home, and joined his senior class in the jungles of Vietnam. After returning home he married his high school sweetheart and raised a fine son. But being blessed doesn't mean that life is easy. He worked as a lineman for the power company and was always available to help his neighbors on their farms. His wife suddenly left him for a rich man when his son was ten years old, so he was left with a son to raise by himself. But now that was all behind him. Having inherited fortythree acres of land in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, Justin retired and moved to his new property looking forward to spending his remaining years enjoying God's creation and relaxing in his new home. Unbeknownst to Justin, he had just moved into the center of a hornet's nest-a nest filled with lies and corruption, an evil neighbor, and a crooked sheriff. A nest that was under surveillance and monitored twenty-four hours a day. A nest that has ties to terrorism and organized crime with the most wretched and evil people who have ever walked the earth. Not being someone to back down from a fight, Justin digs his heels in for the fight of his life, but he is not alone. Before this fight is over, the SBI, FBI, Homeland Security, CIA, and even the Pentagon line up behind him to defeat this monster. He will need all the skills he acquired in Vietnam, plus help and guidance from the Almighty to defeat this enemy.

"Tyler Cree has never been good at the whole look and don't touch thing. From the moment he was old enough to walk on his own two feet, he's been looking for trouble. Trouble comes in many forms ... quite a few of those forms being the female persuasion. Tyler knows what girls want--a bad boy. And he has the bad boy image down pat. Ex-military--check. Hot cop--double check. A bike between his legs and a devil may care attitude--oh, yeah. All the girls want him, yet none of them will have him--at least not all of him, anyway. A certain appendage they can have all they want. His heart, however, is not up for grabs. The useless organ inside his chest was broken and battered, mutilated by the one woman he thought would keep it safe. Spoiler alert: she ripped it to shreds and set fire to the pieces. To protect himself, Tyler keeps everyone at arm's length, and never lets anyone get too close. Then Reagan Rose Alvarez barrels into his life, and trespasses on not only his property, but straight into his abused heart. One glance is all it takes, and he's suddenly thinking about things he hasn't thought for quite some time--thoughts that a man like him should never have about a woman like her. One moment of weakness is all it takes, and suddenly he has no other choice but to go on the offensive. Keeping her is the only other option now. Turns out, his heart isn't as broken as he thought it was. The only problem is, now the little she-devil holds it in the palm of her hands, and she has no clue just how much power she holds."--Back cover.

One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams--including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge--seemed to have slipped beyond his reach. Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year's Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn't have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had. Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal--come what may--of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year. One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous--for gifts or kindnesses he'd received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who'd done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he'd sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John's way--from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around. 365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message--and benefits--come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read 365 Thank Yous is to be changed.
