This Land Is Mine! A Story of Crazy Horse and George A. Custer

Examines the contested expansion of the Western United States through the perspective of two important historical figures. It is the story of a time when open land, resources, and wealth west of the Mississippi captured the imagination of everyone in nineteenth century America. The United States government sent expeditions to capture as much land as possible, and thousands of easterners set off in stagecoaches to find their fortunes. Angry American Natives and vicious conflict greeted the trespassers as they continued to invade more territory.

The book follows the lives of two brave leaders from very different cultures, born just two years apart: George Armstrong Custer of the United States Seventh Cavalry; and Crazy Horse of the Native American Lakota tribe. Custer delighted in youthful pranks as a child and as a young man at West Point Military Academy. Ambitious, courageous, and lucky, Custer successfully advanced his military career in spite of a few misdemeanors. Thousands of miles away, Crazy Horse hunted buffalo, captured horses, and learned the strategies of warfare by studying animals and following Native traditions. Both Custer and Crazy Horse became passionate leaders. This gripping story culminates when Crazy Horse and thousands of Native American warriors collide with Custer’s Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Big Horn to fight for their land and everything they held dear.

In Search Of The Holy Dog Food: An inspirational story about two dogs in Napa Valley that are the best of friends!

Thank you for your purchase of The Holy Dog Food! My name is Mark Battuello. I have been following these two dogs for over a year. Cabby is our family’s farm dog who loves to run free in the vineyards on our farm. He met our neighbor’s dog Cooper and the two became great friends. Our neighbors have become great friends with us as well. I enjoyed writing the story and building the character of the dogs. I studied photography under professional photographers while also studying it during my college years. My hope is that this story has been inspirational for you which encourages the value of a great family pet. Part of the purpose of my photos for this story is to get you to really see the relationship we can have with these animals and what we may learn from them to greatly enhance our daily lives and theirs.

The Law of Kindness: God’s Key to the Locked Heart

For the Christian, no magic wand exists to soul winning, i.e. win the lost to Christ. God has given us foundational principles such as using the law, wisdom, prayer, etc., to guide us in our efforts to individually and corporately obey the mandate of the Great Commission. However, the foundation for all our efforts must be God’s nature of kindness. Without a strong foundation building cannot either be erected nor long remain erect, so too, without God’s nature of kindness, no amount of effort, no matter how sincere will be effective in drawing the lost to the cross of Christ. The goodness of God, i.e. the kindness of God is not simply a nice sounding cliché but the very key to unlocking the unbeliever’s heart!
