Today, Bob Greene is a celebrated, nationally-syndicated columnist. In 1964, he was a seventeen-year-old Ohio high school kid. And he kept a diary. It's all here. The teenage girl who got away. The twenty-seven-year-old woman who didn't. The first beer. The first job. A series of bad haircuts. Friendship and betrayal, griping and groping, a daily account of one boy's struggle -- and all of our struggles -- to forge his way into adulthood with dignity intact, virginity a bad memory, and the day-to-day knowledge that it's not going to get any easier. "A delightful book, and like the song Greene cruised to that summer, fun, fun, fun." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "Everyone who was ever seventeen will love it!" -- Ann Landers

Law and order-that's what the early Texas frontiersman demanded and what the Shackelford County Courthouse was built to provide. Intrepid settlers on the westernmost edge of the Texas frontier faced danger from Comanche raiders, cattle rustlers, outlaws, and gamblers. Erected in 1883, to stand for 500 years, the architectural treasure is one of the oldest original courthouses still in use, is in the National Register of Historic Places, and has been restored according to historical preservation guidelines. Told by those who know and love the courthouse, and who grew up in its shadow, this lively tale features a memorable assortment of characters and exciting events.

THIS IS A MUST-READ FOR BOTH PARENTS AND THEIR ADULT CHILDREN! HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IN-LAWS? Parents: Are there strained relationships between you and your adult children? Maybe thereâ€™s no relationship at all. Often the transition into mature adulthood is bumpy for parents and children. Could you use a little help? Ideally from birth, parents should be preparing their children and themselves to make that inevitable transition. When parents are not prepared for it, they sometimes continue to attempt to control the child and create friction. When the offspringâ€™s not prepared, he continues to be overly dependent on his parents for emotional and/or financial support. Weâ€™ll discuss relevant and burning issues families deal with every day as adult children and their parents adjust to children leaving home. Wise and tested counsel is given that can bring about a mature and happy family relationship.

Eavesdroppings recounts life in the small towns of Ontario before sin arrived on the Internet - a time when churches were never locked and parents, not wishing to be disturbed while they listened to the radio, shooed their children out to play in the dark, unguarded streets without fear. Here you'll find comedy, outrage, and tragedy but no disguise. Included are actual events and the names of all persons involved. The author tracks the quaint immorality of smalltown sin in the 1930s and its evolution from full-frontal bingo in the churches to the current degeneracy of nude women wrestling men in vats of Jell-O in licensed nightclubs, but he never moralizes. Indeed, he provides no uplifting messages at all - just gossip, which, as Oscar Wilde said, "is what history is all about and more fun."

Answers to Faith Crushing Questions provides answers to questions that are intended to destroy our faith and discredit our Creator. The Bible says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6 New American Standard Bible). Skeptics try to destroy the faith of others by asking difficult questions that seek to seed doubt and disbelief into a person's faith. Jesus ran into this frequently from both religious and nonreligious persons. His poignant answers straight to their hearts quickly ended their faith-busting derisions. In this book, the author draws on the Bible, insights from some of history's greatest thinkers, and his own experiences to answer questions such as: How can finite beings like us know the infinite God? God is good, so why is there evil? For what significant reason are we created as Free Moral Agents? If God asked you to commit an immoral act would you? Do you know the seven kinds of Love? Can God make a rock he cannot pick up? If not He's not all powerful is He? Why did the children of Sodom and Gomorrah die along with their parents? Why does God seem so remote? Is there a way to find Him? In this quick to read book you will find answers to these and other tough questions. Remove the doubts that others have sought to hurt you and your faith with and move into a closer relationship with the Lord with the answers and insights in this book.

This remembering of the Tenth Army of the Pacific Theater campaign is recounted by Bob Green, then a twenty-year-old second lieutenant of the 763rd Tank Battalion attached to the 96th Infantry Division. The invasion, launched on April Fool's Day/Easter Sunday 1945, began the last major battle of World War II, fought as war in Europe ended and president Roosevelt died. Three months later, the Okinawa arena was declared secure. Bob Green's personal accounting of the war and letters home are fascinating as well as touching. His amazing recollection of events makes one feel as if it happened yesterday. The book is richly illustrated with archival photos from the U.S. Army and from the author's personal collection.
