Having to avoid the U.S. Military now closing down the area, they slowly but surely start making startling discoveries and uncover more clues as to what might be going on.

About Save Him

Military scientist Rydel Scott is proud of the hi-tech gear he invents for battlefield heroes. When a secret mission involving one of his inventions goes horribly wrong, Rydel obsessively tries to learn what caused the system failure and accidentally reveals the ability to time travel. Overworked and massively sleep-deprived, he believes he has received a message from God—save God’s son. And the man of science embarks on a world-changing quest to rescue Jesus.

As he covers his tracks to journey back undetected, he neglects to factor in the consequences of a devastating butterfly effect. And he’s terrified to discover The Unit, a highly-trained team of elite soldiers, is hunting him down to stop him from making choices that could upend all of human history.

Will they find Rydel before he alters the past? And, if they find him, will some in The Unit be persuaded to join Rydel on his mission to save Christ?

About Somewhere in Texas by Eve Gaddy

Bar and Grill owner Cameron Randolph is as dependable as the day is long, with a soft spot for any stray. But due to his cheating ex-fiancée he’s cynical about women, and he doesn’t intend to risk his heart again. Yet when a clearly desperate woman breaks into his place one wild rainy night his protective instincts kick in and he feels compelled to help her.

The violent gulf storm that forced Delilah St. John into hiding in Cam’s back room is nothing compared to the danger she’s fleeing. In fear for her life, she takes refuge in the small coastal town of Redfish, Texas, with a man she finds almost impossible to resist.

Delilah is everything Cam knows he can’t trust. She’s too young, too beautiful, with secrets she refuses to share. But she’s also honest, hardworking, and completely tantalizing.

While Cam knows she’s in hiding with a false identity, he doesn’t know everything–and Delilah doesn’t dare tell him. Telling the truth is a chance she can’t take.

The man who sent her life spiraling out of control could find her at any moment. Exposing her secret, threatening her life, and even worse, endangering the life of the tough but tender man who offers her help, passion, and finally, love.

About How to Talk to Nonvoters: Why People Don’t Vote by Stephen C Buckingham

Are you worried about low voter turnout? People have fought and died for the right to vote, but Americans don’t show up in numbers that indicate they all appreciate the right, and duty, to vote.

Since low voter turnout is a concern for our elections, it is important to address the reasons that people give for not voting. Many media articles, surveys and studies have collected these reasons, but no one shows us how to respond to these reasons.

We need to honestly acknowledge the flaws in our system that discourage people and have authentic conversations about why and how to vote.

Would you like to know what to say when someone says:

“I can’t vote”
“It’s too hard to vote”
“I don’t know enough” or
“My vote doesn’t matter”

This book organizes nonvoters’ reasons into categories and provides information to provide when people tell us they do not intend to vote. It points out where policies and processes differ among states and provides additional resources for more information. It is a handbook for people who want to encourage voting.

With this guide, those working to increase voter turnout should have tools to respond to people’s reasons for not voting.
