In this book, an anthropologist and a Kiowa elder explore some of the history, spiritual beliefs and practices of the Kiowa people as expressed through the family history of Chief Big Bow (1833-1901). It also explores the five major Kiowa  roads  walked upon by author Richard Tartsah (Big Bow's great great grandson) during his varied and unusual life. These are peyote religion, Tartsah's work as a medicine man, his involvement with traditional Kiowa songs and dances, his deep insights into the spirituality behind the Ghost Dance movement, and his lifelong involvement in Kiowa Christianity. The book includes a cd of songs and discussions by Richard Tartsah which accompany the major topics of the text. Big Bow offers a rare firsthand glimpse into Kiowa religion and spirituality: a Black Elk Speaks  for the Kiowa culture.

Stormganger is the story of how an extraordinary young man named Avion Storm rescues the populations of Earth and Mars from annihilation with the grasp of groundbreaking technology.
 As the twenty-third century dawns, the growing human race populates Earth and Mars to capacity. Within twenty years, all fossil fuels, soil, and fresh water will be depleted, making both planets unable to sustain human life. The United World Nations spearheads a special project called Asgard, made up of the world's brightest scientists, in order to implement solutions to the impending doom. The technology behind the newly designed shuttles for space exploration, however, is not advanced enough to take the ships into deep space.
 Meanwhile, in the Midwest, a gifted student and football player, Avion Storm, composes, plans, and designs a new tachyon particle beam propulsion system, which will allow the shuttles to travel many times faster than the speed of light and explore deep space for the needed resources. After the Asgard team discovers his plan, they immediately employ him to put it into action. Under Avion's guidance, Juggernaut is built, employing the new tachyon drives he designed; simultaneously, Avion also designs and builds his brainchild, Stormganger, a special pursuit intercept vehicle (S.P.I.V.) that only he can pilot. Avion realizes that Stormganger, may be even more important than he ever dreamed when a race of hostile aliens threatens to attack the deep space team exploring the newly discovered planet, Crystillia. Even though outnumbered, Avion defends the new planet with Stormganger and with the help of his football buddies, Jeramy and Art, keeping humankind's last hope intact.
 Portraying futuristic exhibitions of brilliance and heroism, Stormganger tells the story of humankind's last days on Earth and the hope of a new beginning. Join Avion Storm aboard Stormganger for the ride of your life!

A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, a veteran of Vietnam, a special agent with the FBI for over twenty years - these are all descriptions of Robert Woo, Sr., and yet the FBI, in its misguided attempts to protect the nation, will target this man and his father for the father's homeland, China, and eventually destroy all that Robert worked for. This tell-all book not only explains what happened to Mr. Woo while employed by the FBI, but it is also a story that extols the human spirit. It is a personal journey of one man who spirals to the brink of despair to include compulsive gambling, thoughts of suicide, and loss of his job and pension, only to discover what is truly important in life: his belief in a Higher Power and his family.
 The book journeys from his ancestors in China to his father's arrival in America, his time in the Navel Academy, his service in Vietnam, his career with the FBI, his subsequent job suspension, firing, his attempt to start over, and his ultimate redemption. It also provides Mr. Woo's insights into why he was fired, its connection to present-day scandals, the real reason he believes he was targeted and set up by the FBI, and what he believes from the vantage of an insider as to the problems facing the Agency in charge of national security.
 Their Hidden Agenda: The Story of a Chinese-American FBI Agent is his story about what happened to him, although portions of the text have been redacted by the Agency involved.

What's worth the most investment, the wedding or the marriage? So often couples make the mistake of committing before connecting! Everyone wants good relationships, but many people are confused about how to establish and maintain them. This is particularly true when it comes to marriage. Unfortunately, in an issue in which it should speak in a clear voice, the church today often sends a message that is just as confused as what the world says. Christians divorce at almost the same rate as non-Christians, and many believers are unsure of the biblical standards regarding sex, infidelity, unfulfilling marriages, premarital sex, and divorce. In The Rib Connection, Carlos L. Malone, Sr. strips away the confusion and gives clear, biblical answers to these and other questions related to marriage and relationships. Are you single and looking for your love connection? He addresses the importance of communicating before marriage. Are you married and unfulfilled? He discusses how to discover the unique needs of your mate---and how to have your mate fill your unique needs. He also lays out principles for dealing with---and avoiding---the problem of infidelity. The Rib Connection faces the daunting issues of marriage and relationships with refreshing clarity.

For the first time the names of our rulers are all brought together between two covers in Who s Who of the Elite V9 ... This is a reference work you will want to keep handy so that whenever a notable is mentioned in the news you can immediately look him up to see if he is a member of the various secretive elitist groups that feel they are qualified to run your life for you. With this book, you can better arm yourself with the knowledge that has awakened hundreds of other people wondering about the same things you are. Many books will tell you the truth, but no other book condenses it all together in one source like this one. It lists the names, where they are affiliated and their job titles for: 9,506 members of the Council on foreign Relations. 2,287 members of the Skull &amp; Bones Society, 1,816 members of the Bilderbergs, and 1,023 members of the Trilateral Commission. It s a tough job to run the world, but somebody s got to do it. This could be the motto of the characters in Who s Who of the Elite V9 .... If you were an anthropologist, you might call this tribe the Global Control Freaks ... These Global Good Old Boys Clubs and their membership are the focus of Who s Who of the Elite V9, a researcher s guide to the global hierarchy of money and power. It s like a Social register for Power mongers and though it s just a listing of their names with their day job affiliation, you can get a lot of insight by matching these names with the names in the news.

The Elite Are Doing Terrible Things to Us. Never before in the history of America have citizens become so alarmed over the direction our nation is going. Many have awakened to a new reality that an elite clique of super-rich has taken control of what once was a constitutional republic. This criminal elite has rigged our election systems, jettisoned many of the protections afforded the citizenry in our Bill of Rights, and become the virtual dictators of our once, great country. Banding together in an illegal financial cartel and political combination, the Elite have conspired to deconstruct the United States, terminate our national independence and sovereignty, and integrate our land into their infamously planned New World Order. Through financial machinations, these international outlaws are systematically devaluing the dollar currency; they have become the Money Masters of Wall Street; and our Congress and legislatures do their bidding. Through propaganda and financial fraud, the elite have bankrupted our treasury, taken trillions of dollars for themselves, increased our taxes, and run public debt to unbearable levels. Still, they want more. They ultimately seek the death of America, intending to bury the wasted corpse once and for all. Robert Gaylon Ross, Sr. masterfully explains what terrible things the elite have done to us. But more important, he provides remedies and answers. Yes, we can make America a great nation once again, a prosperous and shining city on a hill and a beacon of light for a desperate world. This book points out the way.
