Truth indeed, is stranger than fiction. If you ever had any doubt this was true, reading Life is More than a Box of Doughnuts will surely convince you otherwise. 
Since 1996, High Point Police Captain Ron Stowe’s column "On the Beat" has appeared weekly in the High Point Enterprise. In this column, Stowe provides a realistic view of what goes on in the lives of the law and the lawless – those who are called to serve, and those who, because of their choices, need to be served. 
Life is More than a Box of Doughnuts is real life stuff – stuff you don’t see in the movies or even on your local TV news. You get many of the inside stories that officers talk about in roll calls and on coffee breaks. Much of it is humorous – like the man who was in court to tell about how his wife had knocked out one of his teeth, which he kept, then offered to the judge as evidence. After hearing the man’s story, the judge asked "Is this the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth?" Or, you will read about many of his "Dumb Crook" stories, which give validity to the premise that crime doesn’t pay. 
But some of it isn’t so funny – from "Family Matters" to the "In Memory" chapter where Stowe honors officers who had given the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives while on duty, including those heroes who died on September 11, 2001. 
Aside from some names being changed to protect the not-so-innocent, the stories inside are true, thus proving the adage of truth being stranger than fiction. From the law enforcement perspective, this book guarantees to convince you that a cop’s Life is More than a Box of Doughnuts

How thinking about “God since before the foundation of the world” can change the way we see our story, how we read and understand the Bible, how we engage the world we live in and how we see, understand and know God. Is it possible we may have our "story" of who God is, and what They're up to, all worked out . . . and yet somehow completely missed Their main point?After 45 years of living and believing conventional Western Christianity does it turn out just a little twist on the story 1500 years ago led us down a completely wrong path?  God’s story is WAY better than we think.  And it’s been that way all along.  Here is a summary of the internal life of one guy and the difference the real story of God is making.

Storytime - What if a thousand things we think are ------ aren't?- What if the 1st 4 centuries of Jesus-followers lived in the belief that Jesus, as our Good Shepherd, came to redeem, ransom, and restore every one of Their sheep - the entire Family of Man - back into Their fold?- What if those centuries are marked by Jesus-believers actually "not believing in death"?- What if Augustine's version of "original sin" and "predestination" had never been heard of until this trying-to-be-good, relatively brilliant man, dreamed these up in his Latin-trained, Manichean and Neo-Platonist mind?- What if he added "everlasting torment in hell" into his theology in the early 400's?- What would "Christianity" look like today if the Jesus-anity of the first 380 years had been the basis of Western conversation instead of Augustine's versions of these ideas?Would any of that interest you?
