Author, Sheralee Snow, Releases a Book Titled: 'We Believe - The Precious One is Coming Back.' Release Date, September 7, 2015 Through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. by BWW News Desk
- September 07, 2015 The author states, "We are living when evil is on the rise. We are not able to stop, contain, or reason with evil, because there is no logic involved in the devilish side of human nature. The Evil Ones can only be extinguished by the Precious One himself when he returns."
She continues, "We have prerequisite courses that must be passed before the Precious One returns."
Prerequisite Courses:
1. Love God with all your heart
2. Love your neighbor as yourself
3. Love one another as the Precious One (Jesus Christ) has loved us
She believes the hardest course is "Love One Another" and that many during the End Times will not pass this course and their final destiny during Judgment Day will already be decided.
The author has a positive attitude and hopes that many will pass the courses but remember it is an individual choice, "Devil Heaven or God's Kingdom."
"Mine is a book with a distinctly Biblical perspective on End Times doctrine." -Sheralee Snow, author.

Alderhanna Releases a Groundbreaking Book by Joseph A. Rose Challenging Ulysses S. Grant's Reputation as a Military Genius and as a Reliable Chronicler of the Civil War by BWW News Desk
- September 06, 2015 "This new book," according to its author, Joseph A. Rose, "describes how General Grant suffered the biggest military surprise of the Civil War, committed the worst official act of anti-Semitism on United States soil, and came closest of all federal commanders to losing Washington, D.C. In ranking his generalship above Robert E. Lee's, Grant's defenders ignore both his crude, pugnacious strategies that resulted in a costly war of attrition and his amateurish tactics of impulsive, futile frontal assaults against fortified positions. Besides, his rampant cronyism poisoned the Union war effort. With 621 pages of text, 37 maps, and 105 pages of endnotes, this scholarly work defines the military career of Ulysses S. Grant."
Commendations: "Impressively researched, Grant Under Fire is an iconoclastic but exceptionally well documented contribution to our clearer and more in-depth understanding of the role Grant played in the American Civil War. Informed and informative, Grant Under Fire is a seminal work of exhaustive scholarship." -Midwest Book Review
Praise from noted Civil War authors: "Joseph A. Rose presents an engaging critical assessment of Grant's generalship that is destined to provoke lively debate." -Gordon Rhea, author of The Battle of the Wilderness, May 5-6, 1864 and The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern, May 7-12, 1864 and To the North Anna River: Grant and Lee, May 13-25, 1864 and Cold Harbor: Grant and Lee, May 26-June 3, 1864
"Rose writes with a vigorous style, and supports his thesis with impressive research and incisive analysis." -Robert I. Girardi, author of The Soldiers' General: Major General Gouverneur K. Warren and the Civil War
"Grant Under Fire reveals a general with a dramatically different character than the one he portrayed for himself." -Lawrence Lee Hewitt, author of Port Hudson, Confederate Bastion on the Mississippi and co-editor of the three-volume Confederate Generals in the Western Theater
"A well-written, exhaustively researched essay." -John Horn, author of The Siege of Petersburg: The Battles for the Weldon Railroad, August 1864 and The Petersburg Campaign, May 1864-April 1865
"Rose's prodigious and impeccable scholarship greatly strengthens his penetrating analysis of both Grant the man and Grant the commander." -William Glenn Robertson, author of Back Door to Richmond: The Bermuda Hundred Campaign, April-June 1864 and The Petersburg Campaign: The Battle of Old Men and Young Boys, June 9, 1864
"Just to set the record straight, there should be more future insightful research and commentary, as you will find here." -Wiley Sword, author of Shiloh: Bloody April and Embrace an Angry Wind: The Confederacy's Last Hurrah: Spring Hill, Franklin, and Nashville and Mountains Touched with Fire: Chattanooga Besieged, 1863
"It is a must for any serious student of the Civil War." -Frank Varney, author of General Grant and the Rewriting of History: How the Destruction of General William S. Rosecrans Influenced Our Understanding of the Civil War
This groundbreaking work resolves such controversies as Grant's drunken partying with the enemy, unfairly blaming Lew Wallace for the slow march to Shiloh, pretending to possess a plan to pass Vicksburg, taking credit for the charge up Missionary Ridge, leaving wounded men to die between the lines at Cold Harbor, and mistreating Black soldiers and civilians. His celebrated Personal Memoirs are shown to be unreliable, while Grant was remarkably untruthful, careless, persistent, indolent, aggressive, unjust, biased, impetuous and lucky.
Joseph A. Rose spent twelve years writing Grant Under Fire, combining original research-rigorously based on primary sources-and investigative historiography.
New Book 'Solitude: How Doing Nothing Can Change the World' Set for Release by BWW News Desk
- September 06, 2015 A quarter of young Australians say they are unhappy with their lives and almost half of all Australians will experience mental illness at some time in their life. Mental illness is running rife; teen suicide rates are far too high; people are chronically unhappy; and, depression is just a part of life sitting nicely next to stress, anxiety, worry and fear.
Evan Sutter, a young man who hopes to reinvent how we look at happiness, launches his new book titled "Solitude: How Doing Nothing Can Change the World" on September 18. How will three months living in a hut in the forests of a Buddhist Monastery affect him? How will it feel to see his brother, who is now a monk, for the first time in two years?
See how one email from his brother leads Sutter, a lost young man, to fly across the world to Plum Village in Southern France. Life at the Monastery is the opposite of the life Sutter had been leading, a life laden with alcohol, drugs, women, technology and constant distractions.
Sutter uses his solitude in Plum Village to analyse his history with sex and desire, alcohol and drugs, happiness, ego, envy and success, all the way providing simple to read and entertaining insights. Sutter blends western world issues with mindfulness-based practices to highlight areas that have caused suffering on personal and societal levels.
Solitude features a foreword by Sutter's brother and Plum Village Monk Br Tuy Niem and writings from Bertrand Russell, Matthieu Ricard, Peter Singer, Alain De Botton, Jon Kabat - Zinn, Alan Watts, and Thich Nhat Hanh. It delves deep into ego, competition, envy, fear, society, mindfulness, impermanence, community, sex and desire, alcohol and drugs, reverence, attachment and essentially happiness.
'3 years ago a few bullets sailed past my head in the backstreets of New Orleans, and since that moment I have been determined to ask myself the question, 'Why? Why am I doing this?' It took three months living in a hut in the forests of a Buddhist Monastery to give me a better idea of 'why,' and now I am determined to spread these experiences where it is needed most - the fast paced modern world,' said Author, Evan Sutter.
