No man or woman should ever live in fear of another human being; nobody has the right to convince you that you are less than what your heart, spirit and inner voice has programmed you to be in this universe. Everyone who reads this book will walk away different, for the better. Jack Perry, Jr., a former police officer, military pilot and business leader, has written in his own words and personal style a hard-hitting book about his last conversations with his father, before his father passed away. These are impactful conversations every son or daughter should have with a parent at some point, before it's too late. Jack's father was an angry man, and his anger impacted many lives. In the final days of his father's life, Jack decided to visit him, and ask the hard-hitting, impactful questions about his father's verbal abuse, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, leadership style, and his own childhood. That was the last time he saw his father alive. Jack shares his very personal life lessons, and how he recognizes the same behaviors permeating society today...the hidden facade so many people live, out of fear, societal pressure and anger. He writes about what he has learned from his own mistakes, views and paradigms about life, love, people, violence, death, humanity and service to others. The book addresses anger and fear in the lives of everyone living today. Anger and fear infects CEOs, business leaders, employees, children, parents, and our political leaders. Impactful, insightful solutions and tools are the wisdoms that Jack shares in his book-the defining moments and the people who had impact in his life for positive change. "Enjoy my book with an open mind." Jack Perry, Jr.

It's about stories...true stories experienced in the ministry of a man named Jack. Friends encouraged Jack to consider preaching and pastoring a church, but he was terrified at the thought of preaching and felt he had none of the gifts or talents needed by a pastor. Then God called Jack to pastor. Soon he loved it!
Now, almost sixty years later, Jack has written this book sharing exciting stories of the amazing activities of God that he has experienced. One reader said some of the stories seem more like parables. He wrote to give God all of the credit and glory. His preface states, "After reading this book, if you are impressed with me instead of God, I have failed to accomplish my goal in this writing."
Dr. Henry Blackaby's best selling book, Experiencing God, includes a dynamic principle that Jack loves: "Find out where God is working and join Him in it." Jack knows that he could never deserve it, but he has "experienced God!"
If you ask Jack, "What is this book about?" he will reply again that he could never have accomplished those things, so "IT HAD TO BE GOD!"

Bryn heads toward Claire's house, but gets sidetracked. She is pre-occupied with the ever-present anxiety in her home life. Without thinking, she goes well past her friend's house and runs into Christian Bello. He invites Bryn to go downriver for the afternoon and she accepts. Over the course of that lazy, beautiful trip, Bryn falls hard for him, but for Chris, it is nothing more than the beginning of a summer romance. When September rolls around, Bryn is abandoned. She is undaunted by the breakup and sets her sights on reconciliation. She ignores his rejections and the advice of friends and sets her sights on getting him back at any cost. When Chris is falsely accused of a crime, he ultimately seeks the solace of Bryn's long-waiting arms. They spend more and more time with one another, which arouses suspicions in those around her. Her friends, classmates, neighbors, even Chris, wonder whether Bryn had something do to with his fate in an attempt to draw him back into her life. Chris is dragged down by his arrest, an impending trial and probable jail time, and he takes his own life.Bryn is haunted by Chris's death. There is little sympathy from her family or friends she thought she could count on for condolence. Bryn decides to leave the small town she loves and look for a place where she can hide, but running away doesn't provide the cloak or clarity Bryn seeks until Midnight reveals something that rocks her foundation and forces her to make decisions about who she is and who she wants to be.

Author Carol Mann grew up in western New York State along the banks of Ellicott Creek. She experienced its spring floods, summer ennui, autumn mists and winter ice. Changes and barriers, natural or manmade, altered its course. Reflecting upon her early years, she was impressed by the similarities between the flow of a creek and the journey of a person's life. Obstacles and apertures direct a creek's path, just as challenges and opportunities write the human story. These complexities, these ebbs and flows, compose the songs of life. Thus, Creek Songs seemed a good fit for this collection of short stories.With this perspective, the reader is invited to meet the flawed characters in this concert of narratives. They're ordinary people living in an everyday world. The events of their lives don't flow smoothly, so they must confront their decisions and deal with their consequences. Readers' emotions, senses, and minds will be engaged as they experience each character's tale and encounter their own lives, their own songs.
