Books In Sync Recognizes For A Second Year Author Marcia P. Cole
Featuring: Caught Between Life & Death by Marcia P. Cole
What are you leaving behind for others to remember you by?
A life insurance policy?
A family heirloom?
In Caught Between Life & Death, Marcia Cole, believing herself on deaths edge, writes her will. Her son, Danny, has just returned from the hostile Iraqi desert and announces his newfound career choice. Concerned for her son’s obsession to be part of Hollywood’s rich and famous, the author looks deep within her own frailties to leave behind something more valuable than just a life insurance policy. Inspired by her son, the author cleverly finds a unique way of leaving behind a part of herself through a tale of wealth, poverty, and faith.
Caught Between Life and Death exposes valuable lessons that shed new light on old perceptions giving us new hope for old problems.
Caught Between Life & Death Book Excerpt:
It appeared as if I was caught between life and death when the paramedic placed the nitroglycerin pills under my tongue.
Nitroglycerin? I thought to myself, surely I’m not having a heart attack. Everything was a blur. I felt like Darth Vader behind this oxygen mask as I could scarcely breathe with this crushing chest pain. Despite all the commotion going on inside this body of mine, I was more amazed by the hub of the fire and rescue squads that caused more attention in the neighborhood than I would have liked. I could feel the eyes of curious onlookers peering at me wanting to know the obvious question, “What happened to her?”
“Wow, who’d have thought it, me riding in an ambulance causing people to part the road like the Red Sea. Lord knows I never saw this day coming. Aren’t I supposed to be too young for this?” I smiled within.
I wasn’t afraid to leave this world. As far as I was concerned, everyone I would possibly leave behind had somebody. I wouldn’t be leaving anyone alone. However, I will never forget the look on my son’s face when he arrived at the house to find the paramedics wheeling me out on the stretcher. It was a defining moment in my life. I glanced over and noticed a frightened boy instead of the usual jovial, confident young man. What I saw in my son’s eyes that day unnerved me to the core more than any health issue I’ve ever faced. I saw an indescribable fear in his eyes as his expression revealed a lost look of utter hopelessness. Danny appeared worse than I felt. Life withdrew from his face like the waters from the shore when the tide goes out. The light instantly went out of him. He looked about as different as I did to him. Apparently, I had more influence in my young adult son’s life than I realized.

Who holds the truth: Science or the Bible?
Beyond Genesis: The Untold Story of Man’s Origins by Allen Epling
With all the public fascination lately with ´Bible Codes´, the author has uncovered ´hidden´ messages in the book of genesis that could not have been understood until the present age of understanding. With a refreshingly new interpretation, based on present day knowledge, Allen Epling presents new evidence that the events in Genesis are real and that there is a genetic link to the patriarchs of the Old Testament.
Beyond Genesis offers an alternative explanation for the origin of man that is unique and different from either side in the familiar Creationism versus Evolution debate. The author believes the truth revealed in this book was not meant to be understood completely until the present age of information and reason. He reveals new insights which uncover a storyline in Genesis that has previously gone unnoticed. He offers timely new explanations for all the “myths” of Genesis. All hypotheses are based on sound, recent science and the field of genetics, and are supported through references to the original sources. The central theme of the entire book is that the book of Genesis is accurate historically, and that modern man is a product of BOTH the evolutionary processes, AND a unique, separate line of man, the one referred to in Genesis. The book also reveals the ultimate “plan” for man and that it is not finished.
Beyond Genesis Book Review:
In Beyond Genesis, author Allen Epling attempts to solve the decade’s long debate between science and religion, Creationism versus Evolution. Epling proposes that the book of Genesis is historically accurate. The problems lie in the interpretation and translation of ancient text originally written in Hebrew. Epling goes on to suggest that if interpreted correctly, the Book of Genesis would fit with what is considered true in scientific data.
Epling draws on his considerable formal education and life long study and research of religion, history, and the work of earlier religious scholars to explain the mysteries of Genesis. He explains how the first two chapters of the book of Genesis describe two different creation events: the first around 12 billion years ago when God creates Heaven and Earth in a burst of light known as the “Big Bang,” with man-like creatures (Neanderthals, etc.) beginning nearly 2 million years ago.
The second Creation Event took place around 6 thousand years ago when God created the Garden of Eden, Adam and domesticated animals. Epling uses new discoveries in genetics and science as evidence to back his hypothesis that both scientific theory and religious belief about creation are correct.
Is Allen Epling’s interpretation of Genesis the true version? As of now, we have no way of knowing for certain. His theories are as believable as anything presented by academia, science, or religion. I urge you to pick up a copy of this compelling argument, to keep an open mind, and to make your own decision.
I highly recommend Beyond Genesis to anyone open to alternative religious theories and to those who have allowed science to cloud their faith.

The Sullivan Boys Series
Capturing Karma by K. M. Daughters
Book 3 Of The Sullivan Boy Series
Veterinarian Matty Connors’ visions lead her to homicide detective Brian Sullivan once again despite her resolve to remain anonymous the past four years. Her official work with the police in California resulted in the brutal murder of her fiancé, and since, a recurrent nightmare she barely survives. Brian, the reputed ladies man of the Sullivan family, has yet to give his heart to a woman until Matty lays claim to it. His black-and-white approach to solving crimes doesn’t jibe with Matty’s spooky pronouncements or her reputation for alleged infallibility. A wild goose chase searching for a murder weapon casts doubt on Matty’s “truths” and threatens their smoldering romance. Is Brian her nightmare slayer and ultimate truth? When the puzzle pieces fall in place for Brian, will it be too late to save Matty?

Featuring: INFINITE EXPOSURE by Roland Hughes
On the road to a bleaker future, is there still a chance to get it right?
This work of fiction uses historical information and relevant news stories to draw a line from post 9/11 through the off-shoring of IT jobs and the largest terrorist strike the free world has ever known to the resulting nuclear war.
By the year 2012 the U.S. will no longer be a world power. The world will have seen many countries deploy nuclear weapons. Anarchy will reign in many parts of the world and electricity will be considered a luxury nearly everywhere.
That, however, is not the interesting part of the story. How we got there is a far more interesting tale indeed. Follow the story from post 9/11 to where it all went bad and see if you can find a way out, not just for yourself, but for everyone.
Read Infinite Exposure, Roland Hughes’ new work of fiction: a stark portrayal of a world gone wrong.

Review For “Infinite Exposure’:
Roland Hughes’s Preface in his book “Infinite Exposure” begins with “This book is a work of fiction. It uses many historical events, news articles, and company names to build a time line necessary for projection forward. Without using many of these actual names and quotes, it would be difficult to build the sense of realism that gives credibility to the outcome. There is no slander or malice intended. Indeed this book is intended to be a wakeup call for both an industry and a country.” (p.7) Reading through the book, I found Hughes’s writing to indeed be very close to reality. The occurrences in the book mimic existing situations in the world and the resulting consequences are not desirable by any means.
The basic premise of Hughes’s book is how developing data centers and sending IT jobs overseas is detrimental to the future of the world. The result of this cost-cutting measure is the biggest al-Qaeda attack in history, and nuclear war. As anyone who has ever called for technical support on a computer or other product knows, overseas centers are a current and prevalent fact of life. I could go on for pages and pages about what I think about overseas support centers but this is not the place for that. However, Hughes’s fictional account of what the resulting effects of this money-saving action could be is a frighteningly realistic possibility.
On the title page it is stated that, “The book is meant to be a warning of what very well may happen if policies, laws, and business directions are not changed quickly.” I think that this book would be a relevant read to anyone who has ever pondered what the effects of sending jobs offshore may be and to those that have fears about the future of the world.
Hughes does a great job of presenting a detailed account of just how everything may unfortunately play out. The writing is interesting and will definitely get the reader’s attention and open their eyes to changes that need to be made. For those that are up-todate on current events, the scenarios presented in the book will hit all too close to home.
Hopefully the events that occur in the fictional “Infinite Exposure” will not become a reality in the not-too-distant future.
