Free Book: Of Such Is The Kingdom, Part I, Discontent and Insurrection, A Novel of the Christ and the Roman Empire by James M. Becher

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

Intriguing historical fiction novel of Biblical and Roman times developed from a prize-winning story. A powerful blending of stories of seekers from different walks of life who might have lived then.

Step back to Ancient Jerusalem at the time of Christ and the Roman Empire, and ask: What could a cynical, non-conformist dry-goods salesman, a disgruntled blacksmith, and a musing mendicant all have in common? The answer: Down deep, they all seek something better. But will they find the true fulfillment they are seeking?

The non-conformist, Manaheem, Herod’s foster brother, is hired by Herod to foment an insurrection against Pontius Pilate, whom he distrusts.
Manaheem recruits the blacksmith, Barabbas, to be the insurrection leader, to the dismay of Barabbas’ Godly but fearful wife (when he finally tells her).

The mendicant, an unfortunate but pensive young man named Timotheus, joins with an older beggar completely unsympathetic to his musings.

Pontius Pilate sees himself as a weak ruler, but his wife pushes him to be stronger and to even take over Herod’s territory.

Manaheem re-unites with his former wife, Claressa. In need of more money, he tries to blackmail Herod over the latter’s illicit affair but fails. Read the book to see why.

Herod’s palace is attacked, and suspecting Pilate, he tells Manaheem to go ahead with the mission. Will the insurrection succeed? Buy the book to find out.

“Mr. Becher takes you through a wide range of emotions from beginning to end…. This is a great novel that I’m sure you will enjoy” —-Rudelle Thomas (Divine Eloquence)

About the Author
James M. Becher was born on June 8, 1943, of a Christian family and accepted Christ at an early age. Interested in writing and drama since High School, he graduated from Grace L. Hill Memorial Christian School, where he participated in several plays and got A's in English Grammar. His interest in writing caused him to write several short stories, poems, and articles. He went on to attend St. Petersburg Jr. College, in St. Petersburg, FL. for two years. While attending a Bible Club on Campus, he found out about a writing contest that he entered and won second prize, with a Biblical short story, called "Beggarman-Thief." After Jr. College, he attended Bob Jones University, in Greenville, S.C., where he acted on their radio drama series, "Miracles." While there, he felt the call of God to preach. James obtained his B.A. degree in Bible-Lit at Clearwater Christian College, and went on to the Biblical School of Theology (now Biblical Seminary) in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1974 with an M.Div.

He was ordained in November of 1974 at the Church-Of-God-in-Christ in Philadelphia, PA, where he had been serving part-time while in Seminary. Rev. Becher served as assistant pastor there for several years. He then served in many different areas of Ministry over the next several years, one of which was a foreign student ministry, which is where he met his dear wife, Berenice from Venezuela. They were married in 1980 in St. Petersburg, FL, where they took care of a retirement home, where James was also the Chaplain. In 1989, they went to Venezuela for an extended stay, where, along with teaching English to business people, James completed his purposeful time travel novel, "Impossible Journey." Upon returning to the US, he also completed the Biblical novel, "OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM," which he had started before they left, and of which the short story, "Beggarman-Thief" was a part. It was published by PublishAmerica in 2003.

Also shortly after returning to the U.S., James began publishing his self-help ezine, "Inspirational Success Tips," his articles from which now form his self-help book "Principles of the Kingdom."

Later, he revised the sci-fi novel, "IMPOSSIBLE JOURNEY, A Tale of Times and Truth," and it was published in January of 2005. It is also available on Kindle

He recently revised and expanded the Biblical novel, "OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM, A Novel of Biblical Times" and published it also as an e-book, available in many formats including Kindle. The print version is NOW available either as 1 volume containing all 3 parts, or split into 3 separate volumes, Part I, Discontent and Insurrection, Part II, Robbery and Redemption, and Part III, Power, and Persecution,

James also just completed a short self-help book based on his articles from his ezine with quotable quotes for each chapter. It's titled "Principles of the Kingdom (God's success principles)" and was published in 2012

In November 2012, he preached his "Christmas Victory" message, which resulted in the writing of his latest novel, "The Christmas Victory, A Gem of A Sermon, All Wrapped Up in a Historical Novel." which was published in July of 2014.

In 2018, James updated all of his books, publishing 4 editions of"Of Such Is The Kingdom" and also adding a special full-color Christmas Gift Edition for "The Christmas Victory."

Free Book: 11/21/2018 PURE TRASH by Bette Stevens

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The year is 1955. Remember the Good Old Days? You know, the 1950s and ‘60s, when America was flying high. The All American Family lived a life filled with hopes and dreams and life’s necessities too. Shawn Daniels isn’t your typical American Boomer Boy. No, Shawn is a poor boy. He can’t join Boy Scouts or sports teams. There’s not even enough money for necessities. Besides, Shawn doesn’t have time for that. But when chores are done, there’s always fishing!
In this short story, Shawn and Willie Daniels are off on a Saturday adventure in search of trash to turn into treasure. It is going to be a great day. Shawn is sure of it. No school and no bullies to remind him that he’s not one of the crowd. This is a story about bullies and what it’s like to be bullied (and not just by kids). It may redefine your definition of bullying. If you were a child who was thought of as “different” in some way, you know what bullying is about: torment, persecution, intimidation, to name a few of its synonyms. For Shawn and Willie, their difference was based upon the social status of a dysfunctional family and the alcoholism and abject poverty in which they grew up.

Bargain Book: 11/13/2018 Settling the Wind by Kari August

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The harsh and rugged Colorado frontier of 1875 is not the type of place most would consider suitable for a recent widow to establish a home of her own. Yet that is exactly what Henrietta Schodde determines she will do as she impetuously buys a cabin in the newly forming settlement of Estes Park. Despite assurances from Henrietta that the locals appear amiable, her relatives are concerned and recruit the assistance of long-time family friend Collan Wallace, who unbeknownst to Henrietta, has also just begun homesteading in the area.
The last thing Collan desires is to watch over the woman who has been his nemesis since childhood. But the pair quickly realize that there is more than each other to fight about when they discover an unscrupulous Englishman, Lord Dunraven, is hungry for their land.
Endearing and engaging, Settling the Wind, is historical fiction based on actual events that reveals the courage of Colorado’s pioneers in the face of more struggles than they could have imagined.

Free Book: 11/06/2018 Hannibal’s Foe by Edward Green

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The General is Down!

Decurion Scipio looked over his should at Laelius and me.

He drew his sword and ordered, “Aid the General!”

Scipio was halfway down the hill before the rest of us could react to the command.
A Carthaginian made a lunge at the General with a falcata but the heavy ended curved sword crashed into a Roman shield as one of the General’s guards intercepted the blow.

Decurion Scipio struck the Carthaginian from behind, thrusting his sword deep into the kidney of the man attacking his father.

Then he threw himself from the horse to his father’s side, dropping his shield in the process.

By then, Laelius, Decius and I plus the hundred men of our cavalry wing had driven off the Carthaginians around the General.

Scipio helped his father onto his dappled gray horse, then climbed on behind.
Decurion Scipio shouted, “Retreat!”

About the Author
Author is the latest in a long list of Edward’s job titles that include Navy Rescue Swimmer, Air Intercept Controller, Test Engineer, Firefighter, Transportation Officer, Battle Captain and Garrison Commander. His current job is the culmination of a life of adventure and romance. And he has the bone and joint pain to prove it.

Born the son of a Navy Corpsman and a high-school teacher, he grew up in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Joining the United States Navy at 17, he soon became a precocious smart-ass that should have been kicked out of the military. Instead, he thrived and excelled becoming a rescue swimmer (working out and getting great suntans) and a tactical air controller (playing the best video game in the world). After 12 years, he decided to leave the Navy and go to college. Working as a test engineer for a government contractor and later a 911-Telecommunicator and Firefighter, he finally graduated college after six years with a degree in Information Technology. Then, he joined the United States Army Reserve. He deployed to Iraq, then Afghanistan, then taught ROTC for a couple of years, and then deployed again to Afghanistan before finally retiring from the military after 24 years of service.

Now he lives in Bonn, Germany where he pretends not to understand Germans to amuse himself and fails to understand German to amuse others. Perhaps in a future version of himself, he will actually learn the language. One can only hope.

Pianist in a Bordello

What would happen if a politician decided to tell the truth—the whole truth?
Richard Youngblood, aspiring Congressman, is about to find out. He’s running on a platform of honesty and transparency—and against the advice of his friends and advisers he’s decided to start with himself. His autobiography will lay his entire life bare before voters just days before the election.
And what a life he’s had. Born in a commune and named Richard Milhous Nixon Youngblood as an angry shot at his absent father, Richard grows up in the spotlight, the son of an enigmatic fugitive and the grandson of a Republican senator. He’s kidnapped and rescued, kicked out of college for a prank involving turkeys, arrested in Hawaii while trying to deliver secrets to the CIA…Dick Nixon Youngblood’s ready to tell all.
He’ll even tell his readers about the Amandas—three women who share a name but not much else, and who each have helped shape and define the man he’s become.
Are voters really ready for the whole truth?
Are you?
Pianist in a Bordello is a hilarious political romp through the last four decades of American history, from a narrator who is full of surprises.

Bargain Book: The Gray Ship by Russell Moran

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The Gray Ship

Alternate history, time travel romance, and military fiction.
From KIRKUS Reviews

“In this stellar time-travel novel, a modern-American nuclear-powered cruiser sails through a time portal and goes back 152 years to the days just before the beginning of the Civil War. The USS California, under the command of Capt. Ashley Patterson, an African-American woman, is headed toward Charleston, S.C., to participate in a ceremony commemorating the first battle of the Civil War: the bombardment of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861.

But before her ship reaches its destination, the massive cruiser–and its 630 crew members–travel through some sort of temporal wormhole and end up near the Charleston Harbor in 1861, just hours before the Confederate assault is about to begin.

After eventually wrapping her head around the fact that her entire crew has traveled back in time, Patterson realizes that she has some difficult decisions to make: Does she let history repeat itself and focus on trying to find a way back home, or does she use the military superiority of the California–“outfitted with enough firepower to unleash Biblical hell on an enemy”–to help end the war quickly and thus save the approximately 620,000 soldiers who would otherwise die in the next four years?

Powered by a cast of well-developed characters–Lincoln and Lee are among the prominently featured historical figures–consistently brisk pacing and a pulse-pounding conclusion, the humanist themes of this novel are momentous and just as timely today as they were back in the 1860s.

This provocative, intensely powerful novel is a must-read for sci-fi fans and Civil War aficionados, though mainstream fiction readers will find it heart-rending and inspiring as well. A rare read that’s not only wildly entertaining but also profoundly moving.”

About War Unicorn by S. L. Carlson

Aldric is content working in his family’s apple orchard—or as content as a fourteen-year-old-boy can be doing chores and dreaming up new magic—when he digs up an antique ring and releases a rude spell-bound unicorn. She claims she belongs to the king, but after her long imprisonment, she can’t tell Aldric which king that might be. Aldric promises to take her to the capital, and suddenly a simple three-day trip becomes an adventure.

War is building on his country’s borders, and even with the help of Aldric’s new friend Iggy, and Gwen, the general’s daughter, it’s going to take all the military sword training, courage, and magic Aldric has to find the unicorn’s rightful king. Promises will be made, the bonds of family and friendship will be tested, with a war which changes everything.

Can an apple farmer and one rude war unicorn save the country from the approaching enemy?

Olivia wants the 80 acres in far off Michigan that her father left to whichever of his offspring wants to stake a claim. As Olivia says, “I’m sprung off him just as much as Avis or Tobey.”
The problem: she’s seventeen, female, and it’s 1841.
Mourning Free knows how to run a farm and Olivia has complete trust in him.
The problem: he’s the orphaned son of runaway slaves and reluctant to travel and work with a white girl. He especially fears the slave catchers who patrol the free states, hunting fugitive slaves.
Not without qualms, they set off together. All goes well, despite the drudgery of survival in an isolated log cabin. Incapable of acknowledging her feelings for Mourning, Olivia thinks her biggest problem is her unrequited romantic interest in their young, single neighbor.
Then her world falls apart.
Strong-willed, vulnerable, and compassionate, Olivia is a compelling protagonist on a journey to find a way to do the right thing in a world in which so much is wrong.
