All Shook Up: A Novel by Enid Langbert
https://www.amazon.com/All-Shook-Up-Enid-Langbert/dp/1684632641
Enidlangbert.com
This YA debut speaks to the continued interest in the teen culture of the 1950s—Elvis Presley, teenage rebellion—with a young girl embarking on adventure and music, ultimately uncovering family secrets.
Being fourteen is especially hard in 1956, when the world is changing around you. Honor student Paula Levy was born into a family of historical victims: her mother’s youth was lost in the Depression and her father’s was destroyed in the Holocaust, an as-yet-unnamed event about which no one speaks. But Paula has heard the new music taking hold of the nation—rock and roll—and it has given her hope. And she has two friends to get her through life’s ups and downs: Holden Caulfield, hero of Catcher in the Rye, who shares her view of the world, and Barbara, a “cool” girl in her high school who unexpectedly shares Paula’s view of Holden.
Paula’s mother is not a fan of Barbara, and she prohibits her daughter from associating with her. Paula manages to get around her mother’s rule and see Barbara anyway—but when Paula asks the wrong questions about her father’s past and Barbara is caught with her “boyfriend,” their private world of Holden, rock, and Elvis Presley crumbles. Angry with the adults in their lives, the two girls run away to find Barbara’s real father, a jazz musician. Disappointingly, he does not live in a mansion or socialize with Elvis—but Paula and Barbara may find something even better.
About the author
Enid Wolfe Langbert was not as adventurous as her protagonist, Paula, in high school, but she made up for it in the sixties by marching, sitting in, and raging against segregation and the war while, in her spare time, raising three children. Eventually, she went to law school. She loved zealously advocating for her clients as an attorney, whether they deserved it or not, until her husband became ill and she closed her practice to care for him. After he passed, she traveled widely and enrolled in an English literature master’s program. She is now writing her thesis, tracing the influence of James Joyce’s legal issues on his writing of Finnegans Wake—a topic about which she is unambiguously passionate. Enid lives in New York City.

Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn’t by Dannah Eve
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063438887
From the mindset you move with, to the habits you create, and the tools you carry—learn how to stay sharp, stay ready, and stay safe in every aspect of your daily life!
Dannah Eve has always been street smart, and for the past several years, she has been sharing her advice, self-defense strategies, and safety tips with millions of engaged social media followers. With the encouraging tone of a savvy older sister, she has built a platform that teaches women how to think like a threat—mastering situational awareness, calculated deception, and the art of always being ready. This is survival on your terms. These are just a few of the rules she lives by:
Lie to survive: You don’t owe a stranger your truth. Especially if it compromises your safety.
On a date: Don’t rush to share your personal details—a Tinder match is not yet a trusted person.
Living alone: Keep a pair of men’s shoes by the door; you’ll be a less-obvious target.
While commuting: Never leave any personal information visible—such as your workplace ID, nametag, or packages showing your address.
On vacation: Walk with confidence and a strong stride; a distracted person is an easy target.
While driving: Never pull over for an unmarked vehicle; anyone can order police sirens and flashing lights online.
At school: Research and use the available campus shuttles and safety services.
Online: Phishing emails, fake texts, scare tactics—don’t bite, don’t click. If it’s “urgent” or too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.
At a concert or other public place: Plan your exit strategy before you need it.
In an unpredictable and often frightening world, Dannah Eve shows you how to weaponize your intuition—and back it up with real-world safety tactics that actually work. Because when you build confidence, you operate with authority—and that ripple effect can protect more than just you.

The Fox’s Tale by Jay Sherfey
https://www.amazon.com/Foxs-Tale-Jay-Sherfey/dp/1964462010
The Fox’s Tale is a fantasy story describing Jack Fox, a teenager, surviving in a dog-eat-dog world. He and his mother, Lilly, a physically disintegrating alcoholic, get by under the protection of Gracie Hargreaves: a success in the shipping business and lifelong friend of Lilly and others. Their town is Snakeport, often called the Snake, in a country known as the South. There is no central government and the law is whatever your strength allows you to command. Southern technology involves horses, wind, and gunpowder used in rifled muskets with firing caps. Consider this story a variation on the American Civil War in the 1860s mixed with the English Civil War in the 1600s with hints of Roman arrogance at their peak around 200 A.D. The North-fat, dumb, and happy-after coercing, bullying, and defeating the South in a war fought one hundred years earlier, steals southern children for the menial work needed to maintain an advanced culture with a centralized government. Northern technology is based on the projection of energy by its citizens: horseless vehicles, advanced medicine, advanced architecture, and other advantages. The war deprived the South of its projectors. The North takes what it wants in natural resources and slaves but pays well enough to find allies in the South. Not all Northerners are projectors In the North energy projection ability decides your vocation in life unless you are female. Women in the north are appreciated above southern men but not by much. Southerners in the minds of northerners were stupid, criminal, and incapable. Jack Fox changes everything.

Bushy Tail: The Curious Squirrel by Florence P Bullis
https://www.amazon.com/Bushy-Tail-Squirrel-Florence-Bullis/dp/B0B3VTTDWW
Bushy Tail The Curious Squirrel
By: Florence P. Bullis
The camp may be home for several squirrels, but only one called Bushy Tail, shows up regularly and he is into everything. Bushy Tail, a lively, energetic, inquisitive creature of the forest, reclaims the campground as his permanent residence. Nothing is beyond his ability to investigate and report back to Chatter, his mate. The campers all appear to have fun, especially with a character like Bushy Tail around.
If there are more squirrels than these two, the others are too shy to be seen in the campsite at the same time as Bushy. A young couple with two small boys are quite challenged to live for six weeks in a conestoga-like, fold-down camper trailer. The campground is located in Florida with a shower and restroom building close to the site. A natural pool is provided for recreation, and Bushy Tail’s antics entertain at least this one camper family.
Florence P. Bullis combines a little fiction with a bit of non-fiction in poetic form, from a squirrel’s point of view with humor and excitement, filling the experience with treasured memories worth sharing back home and with future campers.
About the Author

Her hope is that in the lives of this electronically connected culture, the joy of experiencing nature is not lost.

From her kitchen window, she often checks on the lively black and brown squirrels, wild turkeys, groundhogs and an occasional deer that appear in her backyard. More episodes of Bushy Tail may be pending.

Phil Eubanks Corporate Ethics Compliance Professional Garry is a pastor and scholar with a passion for Christ, an innovative spirit, and an open heart. I have read his work with spiritual profit. Now it’s your turn to benefit: the Bible tells us that ‘wisdom is too high for fools’ (Prov 24:7). Find out for yourself and read this book. Professor Andrew Walker King’s College, London The question of ethical character (and its deficiency) has become a matter of lively public discussion in recent years and promises to be so for a long time to come-in private life, in politics, in business, in society. While the world tries to figure out how to restore character, it will not find better guidance than we already have in the Bible. Fool: Identifying and Overcoming Character Deficiency Syndrome is a forensic, worldview-conscious study of the fool and folly as depicted in the Bible, especially in the Book of Proverbs.

Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Revenge (Jason Bourne) by Brian Freeman
https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Ludlums-Bourne-Revenge-Jason/dp/B0F5PLFLJ7
The identity of a deadly Chinese spy lies hidden in Jason Bourne’s lost memory in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Shadow – the head of Treadstone – has found evidence of massive Chinese espionage activity in the U.S. The spy running the operations is a shadowy American known only by the codename Bai Ze. No one knows who he is, but when Shadow consults the Files – the hacked AI database she stole from the Chinese – she discovers that Jason Bourne encountered Bai Ze during an operation eight years earlier.
The trouble is, Bourne doesn’t remember him.
As Bourne hunts for the elusive spy, he meets a reporter named Laney Reese who shares his strange affliction: eight years ago, Laney lost her entire memory, too. For Bourne, that can’t be a coincidence. He’s convinced that whatever happened to both of them is at the heart of the Chinese espionage operation.
With Laney at his side, Bourne follows a zigzagging trail of clues to a quirky billionaire and his ex-wife, both of whom may have ties to Bai Ze. As he gets closer to his shadowy adversary, Bourne begins to suspect that he’s walking into a trap. But it’s a trap with an almost irresistible bait – the chance to recover his forgotten memories.
Now Bourne must decide how far he’ll go to get his life back.

The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church: A guide to the Traditional Catholic community by Griff Ruby
https://www.amazon.com/Resurrection-Roman-Catholic-Church-Traditional/dp/0595250181
For nearly twenty centuries, the Roman Catholic Church withstood all the currents of change and history and maintained a closely guarded orthodoxy which has always served as the basis and center of all Christianity. Yet, it is as if all of that has been just arbitrarily swept away in the few years since Vatican II. Given what the Church has always taught about itself being indefectible, how could this have happened? Did that Council have something to do with that terrible loss of faith? Can the real Catholicism be found today, and if so, where?
The shocking answer to this, once seen and truly understood, is as every bit as glorious as the original resurrection of Christ Himself, a tremendous source of faith and inspiration. It is a broad-based, longstanding miracle passing right before our eyes, have we but the Grace to see it for what it is.

Dare Mighty Things: A Journey from the Potato Fields to a Ph.D by William E Liverman
https://www.amazon.com/Dare-Mighty-Things-Journey-Potato/dp/B0FMMWB9Y8
Dr. Liverman’s book, A Journey From the Potato Fields to a PhD, is a story about Dr. William Liverman, who by God’s grace overcame insurmountable odds to achieve outstanding results in his journey to success. Dr. Liverman’s journey began in the Jim Crow South, where he and his seven siblings were miraculously rescued from a devastating fire that reduced their home to ashes on a frigid winter night in Weeksville, North Carolina. All that Dr. Liverman, his mother, and siblings had left were the clothes on their backs.
Dr. Liverman has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Elizabeth City State University, a master’s in the art of teaching from Marygrove College, and a Doctor of Education, specializing in teacher leadership, from Walden University. Although Dr. Liverman’s mother did not finish high school, she was determined that her eight children would complete college. As a result, all of them have earned graduate and postgraduate degrees.
Dr. Liverman retired from teaching in June 2024, concluding a fifty-year career (twenty-five years in sales and marketing, and twenty-five years in teaching). He is an award-winning speaker with Toastmasters International. Dr. Liverman earned the prestigious Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award in February 2019, which is the highest honor in public speaking and leadership.
Dr. Liverman was elected to serve on the State of Michigan Foster Care Review Board. The mission of the review board is to utilize citizen volunteers to review and evaluate permanency planning outcomes for families in the Michigan foster care system. Dr. Liverman has served in ministry for over fifty years and is presently on the executive board at his local church in Ferndale, Michigan.
Dr. Liverman and his wife, Karen, reside in Southfield, Michigan. They are the proud parents of ten children, seven of whom were adopted. Dr. and Mrs. Liverman recently celebrated their forty-ninth wedding anniversary.
