‘Twice As Much Tomorrow’ is about the journey of a young lady who fell in love with God when she first met Him personally, in 1974. She was bold enough to tell Him she wanted “everything He had that she could possibly have, and she didn’t care what the cost was, personally, to herself.” He took her up on her offer, and the next thing she knew her life was in a downward spin that was more like a roller coaster! There were funny times, heartbreaking times, and times she felt so close to God she could cuddle up and go to sleep in the shelter of His arms. Once Jesus actually took her for a walk with Him, hand in hand in the Spirit, with tears rolling down her face the entire time! She always told Him that was her biggest desire, and that she wanted them to just walk hand in hand, and talk like He and the apostles did when He was here with them. But she couldn’t talk for crying! To have that kind of relationship with God is worth any price! Take a walk with Patricia and find out what it’s been like. She was given a direct promise from God, confirmed by three ladies, one of whom didn’t even know the other two, and a visiting Evangelist, who she thought she was well hidden from, because she knew exactly what he was going to do! But he needed to give her a Word of Knowledge from the Lord, and would not be deterred. She then spent 40 years in the wilderness before she came to her Promised Land. There were times she didn’t think she would make it mentally, but she always knew she would make it spiritually. Sometimes she felt like she was barely hanging on to Him by just a thread from His robe, and times He picked her up and carried her for days, weeks, months at a time. Then one night, she woke up to the knowledge that He was right there in the corner by the head of her bed. “Everything will be okay Patricia. It is time. I’m also going to bless you financially.” You see, ‘The Promise’ was never about material things; it was never about finances. It was always so much more! When God says He will never leave you, He means it! You can always count on Him. ALWAYS! The one thing she’s learned above all else is that nobody can ever love you like God loves you. They don’t have the capability; God created love, and God is love. You see, ‘The Promise’ was never about material things; it was never finances. It was always so much more!

IS NIM ON THE RUN WITH HER EX OR HIS DOUBLE? A thrilling look at coercive control on a global and personal scale, TWICE is about doubles, false fronts, ex-loves, the secret history of the world and what we've lost now that digital tech tightens its grip on our hearts and souls. Nim's ex love returns from Silicon Valley, wanting a book from their childhood. She chucks him out. Moments later, he's back again, one fingertip missing, claiming he's the real Chris and that Nim's first visitor was an imposter. Nim doesn't believe him so he abducts her, forcing her on a journey where nothing is as it seems. “Wryly hilarious and utterly bonkers, TWICE is like nothing I've encountered. Imagine David Cronenberg making a horror film after binge-watching Fleabag, and you'll have a general idea of the kind of roller-coaster ride that awaits in Kleeman's delightful horror.” – Dan Chaon

Amid all the gloom surrounding the debacle in Iraq, finally here is a highly instructive four-stage plan that will help us move forward. Now longer than the Civil War, America's conflict in Iraq seems to have no end in sight. A malaise, perhaps greater than that engendered by Vietnam, threatens to undo our national moorings. Christopher J. Fettweis, a military strategy expert, burst onto the national scene with an editorial and NPR interviews that provided an illuminating historical perspective on the ramifications of any great power's defeat. Fettweis contends that Iraq has thrown America into an unprecedented downward spiral, yet he provides a context for America's loss that few political pundits have recognized. With abundant historical comparisons drawn from the American Revolution and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, among others, Fettweis charts a natural course of defeat (denial, shock, anger, depression, and acceptance). He offers a prescriptive "grand strategy" that will help us forge a new approach to American foreign policy. This is a book no lover of history can ignore, for there may be a silver lining few have yet realized.

This book is dedicated to all of the families who have ever lost a loved one to Alzheimers and Dementia, I have spent over Twenty five years, giving care to these moms and dads, who have acquired this horrible disease . Id like to take you on my journey, and tell you about some of the experiences Ive dealt with, and some of the care Ive done, although some of these days, and nights were hard, and sometimes I felt like running, not to return, I hung in there because I truly felt that this is my calling in life. There were a lot of tears, fears, smiles and laughter, and no matter how sad, or how hard times got, we could always find a moment for love. I hope that you will embrace my story, and find some comfort as you read about all of the challenges I encountered, while giving care to those who could not care for themselves. May you find a little laughter, as I take you through what some of you may view as impossible to go through. But unless you truly have a heart to give this type of care, it could never be for you, it can be greatly overwhelming. But for me, it is therapy, truly therapy. And this is why there are folks like me, it is my passion, I love to care for others. I hope you enjoy, and find some comfort, smiles, and a little laughter, as you go through this journey with me. I do not wish to be disrespectful, nor offend anyone by writing these short stories of actual accounts that happened with some of the people I cared for. Im writing in hopes of you receiving some in site on what it takes to be a great caregiver, or find one. God bless.
