Tom and Son Jesus spend their days dreaming, fishing , and trying to escape work. But their fun comes to an abrupt halt when they discover a human bone, which later turns out to be part of the skeletal remains of Son Jesus' long missing father. As sheriff Frank Rucker, a World War II hero, begins an investigation into remains, he unmasks the racially motivated killer known only as Pegleg. The sheriff's findings divide the people of Overton County, forcing a surprising conclusion --or beginning of justice.
Set in the 1940's and using the relationships of two boys -- one black and the other white -- as a springboard for the begining of desegregation in the South, The Runaway examines the joys, sorrows, conflicts, and racial disharmony of their historical biased environment.
!1: Best Buy To really appreciate Terry Kay's "The Runaway" you need to have lived in that time and place -- Georgia, 1949. I did, and I know that Kay has painted it perfectly. I knew those people, remember them well. Before reading the book, I'd read a generally positive review in an Atlanta newspaper, but one that said the book was "overpopulated with stereotypes." What I found was a true portrait of people and place. Like all Southern towns of that period, conformity was enforced at least by social code, if not by law; it would be hard to write a truthful story and not have characters who seem stereotyped. It was a stereotypical period when change required daring, and the soldiers returning from war came home to fill the bill. They'd taken on a sense of purpose: defending human liberty and dignity. Terry Kay tells us that these are the forgotten heroes, the Southern ex-soldiers who stood up and said to their neighbors, straighten up and play right. They faced as much danger, if not more, than when they'd faced the German Nazis, just by saying, "Why don't you leave him alone? What did he do to you?" I said that to three white men one night, when they were picking on a young black man, and I barely escaped with my life. Of course, that was in 1963, and it was a far more dangerous thing to do in 1949, Kay's scenario in The Runaway. It was men like Sheriff Frank Rucker who led the way, who showed us how to speak up for another man's dignity, even when it wasn't safe. Kay's people may be fictional, but they had counterparts in real life. Stereotypes? Hardly.
Of course, Terry Kay's writing is moving, nearly ethereal in places, as usual. I was also impressed with how many phrases he was able to use from the dialect of the time: "naked as a jaybird," "a fart in a windstorm." He's a master. So we can forgive him the line on page 381: "Getting out of his car, Hugh walked over to Fuller." Even the greats are allowed one of those now and then. on Sale!

THE FACTS.
THE FUTURE.
THE FIGHT TO FIX AMERICA—
BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
In the words of Harvard economist Niall Ferguson, the United States is “an empire on the edge of chaos.” Why? Glenn Beck thinks the answer is pretty simple: Because we’ve turned our backs on the Constitution.
Yes, our country is financially broke, but that’s just a side effect of our broken spirit, our broken faith in government, the broken promises by our leaders, and a broken political system that has centralized power at the expense of individual rights.
There is a lot of work ahead, but we can’t move forward until we first understand how we got here. Starting with the American Revolution, Glenn takes readers on an express train through 234 years of history, culminating with the Great Recession and the bipartisan recklessness of Presidents Bush and Obama. It’s the history lesson we all wished we’d had in school. (Did you know, for example, that FDR once made a key New Deal policy decision based on his lucky number?)
Along the way, you’ll see how everything you thought you knew about the political parties is a lie, how Democrats and Republicans alike used to fight for minimum government and maximum freedom, and how both parties have been taken over by a cancer called “progressivism.” By the end, you’ll understand why no president, no congress and no court can fix this problem alone. Looking toward them for answers is like looking toward the ocean for drinking water— it looks promising, but the end result is catastrophic.
After revealing the trail of lies that brought us here, Broke exposes the truth about what we’re really facing. Most people have seen pieces of the puzzle, but very few have ever seen the whole picture—and for very good reason: Our leaders have done everything in their power to hide it. If Americans understood how dire things really are, they would be demanding radical reform right now. Despite the rhetoric, that’s not the kind of change our politicians really believe in.
Finally, Broke provides the hope that comes with knowing the truth. Once you see what we’re really up against, it’s much easier to develop a realistic plan. To fix ourselves financially, Glenn argues, we have to fix ourselves first. That means some serious introspection and, ultimately, a series of actions that will unite all Americans around the concept of shared sacrifice. After all, this generation may not be asked to storm beaches, but we are being asked to do something just as critical to preserving freedom.
Packed with great stories from history, chalkboard-style teachable moments, custom illustrations, and Glenn Beck’s trademark combination of entertainment and enlightenment, Broke makes the case that when you’re traveling in the wrong direction, slight course corrections won’t cut it—you need to take drastic action. Through a return to individual rights, an uncompromising adherence to the Constitution, and a complete rethinking about the role of government in a free society, Glenn exposes the idea of “transformation” for the progressive smokescreen that it is, and instead builds a compelling case that restoration is the only way forward.

When Bill O'Reilly interviewed then-Senator Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential elections, the two had a lively debate about the nation's future.
Since that time, America has changed rapidly—some would even say seismically. And many believe these shifts are doing more than just rocking the political and social climate; they're rocking the American core.
What are these changes? Who, in addition to President Obama, have been the biggest forces behind them? What exactly do they mean for you, the everyday American citizen? How are they affecting your money, health, safety, freedom, and standing in this nation? Which are Pinheaded moves and which are truly Patriotic? In his latest spirited book, O'Reilly prompts further debate with the President and the American people on the current state of the union.
After five consecutive, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is megabestsellers, you can count on Bill to offer blunt and constructive political commentary. And as he did in his popular memoir, he offers some introspection too, looking back at his own actions and those of past Pinheads and Patriots who have inspired a code of conduct for such taxing times.
As always, O'Reilly is fair, balanced, and uncompromisingly tough when guarding the American way. Only Pinheads would fail to fight for what they love most about this country or to embrace some measure of change to make it better. The rest of us Patriots will read this book to discover the difference between the two.
!1: Best Buy Great book written by Mr. O'Reilly! I will admit right now that I voted against B.O. in 2008 and I will not vote for him in 2012. I am a conservative that feels this country is falling apart at the hands of a corrupt Congress and a president that has zero experience and that is in way over his head. Bill O'Reilly wrote this book for us...the American people. Whether you are a conservative or liberal you should read this book. Bill has the facts to back up everything he writes and at the end lets you decide if B.O. is a Pinhead or Patriot.
I gave this book four stars rather than five because I don't like the interview with B.O. at the end. B.O. is a blathering idiot and without his teleprompter can't complete a sentence with out repeating words and saying "uh". It is just a tough read in the last chapter. on Sale!

Accused of creating a bogus Red Scare and smearing countless innocent victims in a five-year reign of terror, Senator Joseph McCarthy is universally remembered as a demagogue, a bully, and a liar. History has judged him such a loathsome figure that even today, a half century after his death, his name remains synonymous with witch hunts.
But that conventional image is all wrong, as veteran journalist and author M. Stanton Evans reveals in this groundbreaking book. The long-awaited Blacklisted by History, based on six years of intensive research, dismantles the myths surrounding Joe McCarthy and his campaign to unmask Communists, Soviet agents, and flagrant loyalty risks working within the U.S. government. Evans’s revelations completely overturn our understanding of McCarthy, McCarthyism, and the Cold War.
Drawing on primary sources—including never-before-published government records and FBI files, as well as recent research gleaned from Soviet archives and intercepted transmissions between Moscow spymasters and their agents in the United States—Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets. Most shocking of all, he shows that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this danger not only let it happen but actively covered up the penetration. All of this was precisely as Joe McCarthy contended.
Blacklisted by History shows, for instance, that the FBI knew as early as 1942 that J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the atomic bomb project, had been identified by Communist leaders as a party member; that high-level U.S. officials were warned that Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy almost a decade before the Hiss case became a public scandal; that a cabal of White House, Justice Department, and State Department officials lied about and covered up the Amerasia spy case; and that the State Department had been heavily penetrated by Communists and Soviet agents before McCarthy came on the scene.
Evans also shows that practically everything we’ve been told about McCarthy is false, including conventional treatment of the famous 1950 speech at Wheeling, West Virginia, that launched the McCarthy era (“I have here in my hand . . .”), the Senate hearings that casually dismissed his charges, the matter of leading McCarthy suspect Owen Lattimore, the Annie Lee Moss case, the Army-McCarthy hearings, and much more.
In the end, Senator McCarthy was censured by his colleagues and condemned by the press and historians. But as Evans writes, “The real Joe McCarthy has vanished into the mists of fable and recycled error, so that it takes the equivalent of a dragnet search to find him.” Blacklisted by History provides the first accurate account of what McCarthy did and, more broadly, what happened to America during the Cold War. It is a revealing exposé of the forces that distorted our national policy in that conflict and our understanding of its history since.
From the Hardcover edition.
!1: Best Buy Superb Book...This is definitely a book to read! I never knew so many of my "heroes" were actually evil to the core. FDR and Truman made some pathetic decisions regarding Communist in and around the White House. Ike wasn't much better. Certain politicians in Congress also bear condemnation. McCarthy was no saint, but he did have enough information on hand to condemn bureaucrats pushing for the Chinese Reds and other Communist organizations. The book's writer gives the reader sufficient data to make a valid judgment regarding McCarthy and his work regarding the evil powers set on taking over US policy. We may very well have the same things happening in Washington today. You be the judge! on Sale!

The Real George Washington: The True Story of America s Most Indispensable Man. There is properly no history; only biography, wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. If that is true of the general run of mankind, it is particularly true of George Washington. The story of his life is the story of the founding of America. His was the dominant personality in three of the most critical events in that founding: the Revolutionary War, the Constitutional Convention, and the first national administration. Had he not served as America's leader in those three events, all would likely have failed -- and America, as we know it today, would not exist.
Why, after two centuries, does George Washington remain one of the most beloved figures in our history? The Real George Washington answers that question by giving us a close look at this man who became the father of our country and the first American President. But rather than focus on the interpretations of historians, much of his exciting story is told in his own words. The second part of this 928-page book brings together the most important and insightful passages from Washington's writings, conveniently arranged by subject.
Published by the National Center for Constitutional Studies, a nonprofit educational foundation dedicated to restoring Constitutional principles in the tradition of America's Founding Fathers. The National Center for Constitutional Studies...is doing a fine public service in educating Americans about the principles of the Constitution. -- Ronald Reagan, President of the United States
!1: Best Buy I could hardly wait to read the next chapter. What a gifted & resourceful person George Washington was.

I am amazed at how much he was able to accomplish through reading & studying so many subjects and his work ethic was wonderful. Such a person of good character & such a gentleman.

An essential resource for anyone interested in our nation's religious heritage and the Founders' intended role for the American judicial system. Original Intent combines hundreds of quotes from primary sources with the author's exposition on hot topics such as revisionism, judicial activism, and separation of church and state. A substantial appendix encompasses full texts of the founding documents, biographical sketches of numerous Founders, and extensive reference notes.
±1±: Best Buy Which sources are more credible... original sources or second hand accounts? In this authoritative thoroughly researched text David Barton absolutely and completely dispells the myth that we "are not a Christian nation". Hundreds of original documents as well as dozens of Supreme Court decisions up to 1947 prove this fact. Barton sets the record straight of the mischaracterization of Jefferson's "wall of separation" phrase in a letter to the Danbury Baptists as well. Those of you who stand with the academic elites should review their sources. In most of their books they do not cite any. In contrast Barton has nearly 100 pages dedicated to sources from pages 439 to 531. This is simply not a matter that is open for debate. The Founding Fathers were not only deeply religous men, but Christian men as well. The one exception being Thomas Paine, who was verbally flogged by the Founders for his radical beliefs. The fact of our Christian origins were never even in question until 100 years ago. Not coincidentally that is the time the Progressive movement began gaining momentum. It has been on a slow march to erase the history of our Founders ever since (and has gone full throttle under the current adminsitration). The solutions to the deep problems facing our nation is a return to our Founding Principles. on Sale!

A thrilling sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller Nick of Time, in which the young time traveler Nick McIver must prove his courage once more, on two fronts: in World War Twoera England, where Nazis have invaded his homeland, and in America during the Revolution, where Nick stands shoulder to shoulder with General George Washington
It’s 1940 and the Nazis are invading Nick’s beloved home, the British Channel Islands. So Nick takes to the skies: He has discovered an old World War One fighter plane in an abandoned barn. Determined to learn to fly, he is soon risking life and limb to photograph armed German minelayers and patrol boats, and executing incredibly perilous bombing raids over Nazi airfields by night.
Meanwhile, the evil pirate, Captain Billy Blood, still desperate to acquire Nick’s time machine, returns to Greybeard Island. He kidnaps Nick’s sister, Kate, and transports her back to Port Royal, Jamaica, in the year 1781, leaving Nick a message that if he wants to see her alive again, he must come to Jamaica and make an even swap: Kate’s life in exchange for Nick’s wondrous time machinethat’s Blood’s bargain.
Having traveled back in time, Nick discovers a plot that might change the outcome of the American Revolution. Disguised as an eighteenth-century cabin boy, he travels to the Caribbean and confronts his old enemy, who has assembled the world’s largest pirate armada.
From the battlefields of the New World to the brutal German occupation of English soil in World War Two, The Time Pirate has Nick McIver fighting once again to defend his country, the outcome of two wars resting on his young shoulders.
±1±: Best Buy The year is 1940, and the peaceful life on England's Channel Islands is being threatened by invading Nazi armies. Twelve-year-old Nick McIver enjoys helping his dad and some of the other islanders spy for Winston Churchill. Churchill has high hopes of defeating the Nazis, but he knows that Britain will need the help of the Americans to do so. In the meantime, Nick has another idea. With his old pal Gunner's assistance, he pulls his father's World War I plane out of its hiding place and restores it to its former glory. Then his father teaches him how to fly. Nick takes to the skies, discovering new ways to spy on the Nazis, and even plans a daring night raid to bomb their artillery building at the Nazi camp.
Nick is exhausted, barely surviving his raid, but he quickly learns that there is no resting for an adventurer in the middle of war. While he is gone, his old nemesis, the pirate Captain William Blood, returns for revenge. And he does so using his time machine. Leonardo da Vinci invented a time machine and created two of them; Captain Blood has one, and thanks to Nick's ancestor, Nick has the other. Now Captain Blood wants both of them. So he travels forward in time to 1940 and kidnaps Nick's little sister, Kate, taking her back to his time of 1781. If he wants his sister back alive, Nick must follow and exchange his time machine for Kate's life.
Nick quickly follows them back in time and finds that Kate hasn't sat idly in captivity. She eavesdrops on the pirates and learns of their plan --- an ingenious scheme to build a huge pirate army and take over the seas. Their first plan of attack is the French fleet commanded by Admiral de Grasse, traveling from the Caribbean to Virginia to help George Washington in the Revolutionary War. Nick knows from his history books that de Grasse assists with the Battle of Yorktown, which helps to end the war. If Captain Blood attacks de Grasse, and de Grasse never makes it to Virginia to help Washington, America will lose against the British. Which means America won't exist to help Britain defeat the Nazis in World War II. But if Nick goes back to 1781 to stop Captain Blood and help America win the Revolutionary War, it would mean he would be committing treason against his own country of England. How does our young hero ever hope to make the right decision in an impossible situation?
Filled with conniving pirates, nasty Nazis, heart-pounding plane rides, daring escapes, tricky time travel, courageous spy strategies, and mind-gripping history, THE TIME PIRATE is sure to please almost everyone, especially the guys. Ted Bell writes with a very classic style, right up there with Robert Louis Stevenson and Mark Twain. His adventurous imagination pulls readers into this spirited and deep, multilayered story. All of his main characters are unique and well, from the tenacious seven-year-old Kate to the 80-year-old Baroness spying on the Nazis, to our likably and courageous hero, Nick. Bell also takes a unique approach to description, using lots of intricate and interesting details --- for example, the restoring and flying of the WWI plane.

A plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, is about to be unleashed . . . can it be stopped?
There is a powerful technique called the Overton Window that can shape our lives, our laws, and our future. It works by manipulating public perception so that ideas previously thought of as radical begin to seem acceptable over time. Move the Window and you change the debate. Change the debate and you change the country.
For Noah Gardner, a twentysomething public relations executive, it’s safe to say that political theory is the furthest thing from his mind. Smart, single, handsome, and insulated from the world’s problems by the wealth and power of his father, Noah is far more concerned about the future of his social life than the future of his country.
But all of that changes when Noah meets Molly Ross, a woman who is consumed by the knowledge that the America we know is about to be lost forever. She and her group of patriots have vowed to remember the past and fight for the future—but Noah, convinced they’re just misguided conspiracy-theorists, isn’t interested in lending his considerable skills to their cause.
And then the world changes.
An unprecedented attack on U.S. soil shakes the country to the core and puts into motion a frightening plan, decades in the making, to transform America and demonize all those who stand in the way. Amidst the chaos, many don’t know the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact—or, more important, which side to fight for.
But for Noah, the choice is clear: Exposing the plan, and revealing the conspirators behind it, is the only way to save both the woman he loves and the individual freedoms he once took for granted.
After five back-to-back #1 New York Times bestsellers, national radio and Fox News television host Glenn Beck has delivered a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that seamlessly weaves together American history, frightening facts about our present condition, and a heart-stopping plot. The Overton Window will educate, enlighten, and, most important, entertain—with twists and revelations
±1±: Best Buy Glenn Beck is a nationally syndicated radio and Fox News TV show host as well as the author of 5 bestselling books including: "An Inconvenient Book," "Common Sense," and "Arguing with Idiots." Additionally he is the team-leader and publisher of "Fusion" magazine. And yes, many non-conservatives viciously attack Glen Beck for being a devout Mormon as they attempt to ridicule Mormon doctrines such as men progressing into gods, the Mormon teaching that God the Father is a physical man who evolved into a god, the idea that their heavenly Father has relations with women, and other distinctive Mormon beliefs. Many non-conservatives mock these Mormon doctrines as if these Ad Hominem/Genetic fallacies (attacking the man, assailing the source as they avoid the proof offered) make Beck's political views erroneous. Beck is a sincere and caring man who happens to be an accidental media genius; everything he touches prospers.
Herein the reader is confronted with non-stop adventure as Beck weaves a powerful story concerning "a plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, that is about to be unleashed" as the question is asked, "Can it be stopped?"
In "The Overton Window" the reader meets with the means in which society and laws can be nefariously molded through the method of manipulating public opinion and cultural sensitivity so that an ideology that at one time was deemed as radical, becomes acceptable and even established. If a group can move the Overton window they will change many things our culture holds dear.
Beck has provided a suspenseful story based on current events and possible future occurrences. This volume will entertain, instruct, and inform the reader; additionally it may keep you up at night--reading and pondering the revelations therein. 336 power-packed pages makes for a great gift or a fun summer read.
