William Chauncey Kolb was a unique and fascinating individual, not only to his friends and acquaintances but also to his own family. He had a love for adventure and a heart for the arts. Coming from a childhood grounded in faith, he wanted to seek a life for himself on his own terms. Kolb was a very talented young man in the fields of science and the collective arts; there was little that he couldn't accomplish. Even at a young age, he could hear the call of New York City, and that was his ultimate focus and end goal. Bill was what he wanted to be called, grew up in the shuffle, living back and forth between Texas and Virginia with a love for acting, painting, pottery, drawing, background installation at the American Museum of Natural History, and medical science. He was the whole package. Little did he know, the life that awaited him would be filled with heartbreak from all avenues and personal setbacks that would break most people. From not being able to use the name of his choice and being criticized for being himself, he would have to come to terms with how the world wanted him to be. This book is a tribute to a wonderful man that was not given the opportunity to be his authentic self and is meant to be an aid for anyone in the same predicament.

We know that Paul from Tarsus wrote roughly one-third of the New Testament, yet he is a figure still somewhat obscured to the modern reader. Who was he and what motivated this early shaper of the Christian faith? We can read what Paul wrote but we don't often consider why he wrote the words he did or think about what was happening around him when he penned these early letters. As a result, we often think about only half of the larger, ancient conversation. This book seeks to bring the other half of the conversation into sharp focus, and to do it in a way that is readily accessible to any reader. Using Paul's own words and an understanding of the ancient world, this book will take you on a journey walking with Paul through ancient cities and helping us to see his motivations and feel his struggles. From his early life in Tarsus to his last days after returning to Rome, the reader will see the ancient world through Paul's eyes. At the end of this book, you will know Paul better and will have more understanding of his unique contributions to the faith.
The Men of Alcohol
Mitchell Roberts' father was a drunk. His fathers' father was a drunk. His mothers' father was a drunk. In the family tradition Mitch was a drunk. Mitchell, however, did something none of the others did. He found recovery. Much to his disappointment he's still knee deep in dysfunction. His ex-wife wants to remarry, and he's not sure he's not really in love with his ex-girl friend. The hole he's dug with twenty-eight years of drinking is not easily escaped. What starts out as a very co-dependent relationship becomes real love, as he learns to form a true partnership with another human being. Mitchell has a lot of challenges to face in recovery, and so far he's making headway, but when life takes something from him that he's not prepared to lose, reality hits him like a freight train. Why go on? Does the answer lie in the gun laying on the little chapel floor? The one brought in by a drunk priest. What is the point to life anyway?
