Description

<p><strong><em>A tragic warrior lost in two worlds... Which one will he choose?</em></strong></p><p>The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.</p><p>The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.</p><p>Is he Lieutenant Freddie Williams, a leader of men, a proud officer in the US Army who has suffered such egregious injury and loss? Or is he Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the monstrous Horde, his only solace the beautiful gardener, Rebecca, whose gentle words calm the storms in his soul.</p><p>In the conscious world, the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous mission to that of the prince—a journey along a dark road, haunted by demons of guilt and memory. Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.</p>

Story Behind The Book

I believe that Divine providence played a major role in the creation of The Financial Facelift-Life's Amazing Road Map To Abundance and Prosperity. Also, it could be the very reason you found this book. Proverbs 16:9 reads, &quot;We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.&quot; This powerful bible verse has special meaning to me, and maybe, to you as well. In 2006, after a successful working career in the banking, insurance and investment industries, my wife and I decided to return to Colorado after spending 12 years in Wisconsin. It was time to be closer to our children and grandchildren. God's spirit was inviting me down another path. He wanted me to have faith, take a risk, start my own business and put my trust in Him. He would take care of the rest. But, how could I best serve God first, then others, with the time and talents He gave me?” Over the past few years, The Lord gave me the direction I needed. As a Certified Financial Planner professional (CFP), I organized a financial planning practice, Money Mentors, LLC, <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=R._M._Smith"><span style="color:#0000FF;">published several articles</span></a> related to <a href="http://www.rich-christian-living.com/christian-money-management.html"><span style="color:#0000FF;">christian money management</span></a> and living from a biblical perspective, developed the Rich-Christian-Living.com website, and authored a personal money management e-book entitled, The Financial Facelift-Life's Amazing Road Map to Abundance and Prosperity.

<a><strong>Well written book-Amazon.com Review</strong><br /></a>&quot;The premise of The Financial Facelift is that one's financial situation<br />is directly tied to one's ability to establish good relationships - with money, family, society. It was nicely presented with interesting case stories. Concise, clear. Exceptional writing style, especially for a first-time author. Lacked a few attributions for some of the research that was presented, but overall a pleasant effort.&quot;  Fan, Chicago, IL   <br /><br /><strong>Paving a Way to Financial Abundance-Amazon.com Review<br /></strong>&quot;A quirky title for a book on financial principles, and yet the author lays out a surprisingly thorough and well researched manuscript. There are 23 chapters that include detailed statistics and analysis, along with its primary assumption that the path to both financial ruin and prosperity is forged by mastery of one aspect of life - HABIT. With chapter tiles include such headers as &quot;You Might as Well Be a Riverboat Gambler,&quot; and &quot;What? I'm the Team Quarterback?,&quot; this book is another good reason why Kindle is leading the way for independent authors to share their unique insights with the rest of the world.&quot; J.
