Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ninth book in the bestselling series tells the story of John Wesley Powell, the one-armed geologist who explored the Grand Canyon John Wesley Powell (1834–1902) always had the spirit of adventure in him. As a young man, he traveled all over the United States exploring. When the Civil War began, Powell went to fight for the Union, and even after he lost most of his right arm, he continued to fight until the war was over. In 1869 he embarked with the Colorado River Exploring Expedition, ten men in four boats, to float through Grand Canyon. Over the course of three months, the explorers lost their boats and supplies, nearly drowned, and were in peril on multiple occasions. Ten explorers went in, only six came out. Powell would come to be known as one of the most epic explorers in history! Equal parts gruesome and hilarious, this latest installment in the bestselling series takes readers on an action-packed adventure through American history.

This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No doubt, Jesus Christ conversed with people in one-on-one situations, not exclusively with large groups as often recorded in the New Testament. The issues, of course, were different from ours in that they dealt with life in Christ?s own time; but they were similar in that they confronted the same human struggles that continue to afflict mankind. NO CROSS TOO HEAVY offers solutions to everyday problems, a conjectural effort that wraps the teachings of Jesus Christ in yet another testament of reality and relevance. In the end, the book connects the reader to a wise and caring personal friend, one who becomes a loving resident in the heart and soul, and one who happens to be . . . God!
