Book descriptionLearn some lessons in good living from the Bible's bad news belles. Women everywhere marvel at the "good girls" in Scripture
such as Sarah, Mary, and Ruth. But on most days, when they look in the mirror they see the selfishness of Sapphira or the

Review:Agent Under Glass is a political thriller based on the phantasmagoric period immediately preceding the assassination of President John F.

Review:Random murder and savage overkill, mind control and bad strips, satanism and witchcraft, cursed glamour, haight-ashbury, rock'n'roll, biker gangs, sexual rebellion and dune biggies tearcing across Death Valley in search of "the hole in the earth"--the ultimate escape.
