Though his father—a WW2 vet—tries to talk him into staying in college, young Andy Carter wants to follow his dreams. Dreams of serving his country and bringing communism to its knees. He joins the Army and after training finds himself due to ship to Vietnam.

Following their fallen brothers home, Andy Carter and Jim Anderson struggle to carve out a normal life post-combat. Dead-end jobs are the least of the insults they must endure. Instead of the hero’s welcome they’d expected, they’re greeted with contempt or apathy by those waiting back home. Betrayed by those they fought to protect and burdened with the guilt of surviving, the friends make the only choice that feels right—they reenlist. After all, who’s going to help protect the soldiers left behind?

A former brother-in-arms has done the unforgivable—Carter and the others must do whatever it takes to survive and find justice. A prisoner, transported to a plane for a court-martial in the States, will face an almost certain death penalty. This promise of justice is a small comfort for Carter and his squad. But a fortuitously timed rocket attack sees the prisoner freed, and he slips away into the Vietnamese jungle. Carter, Morrison, Anderson, and Miller are pulling security detail at a firebase in the Truong Son Mountains when they hear the news.

As the parent of two sons who went on to play baseball in college as well as a former head baseball coach at the NCAA level, I want to share alternatives with parents that will allow their children to avoid the anxiety and stress that many face within the overstructured and overorganized world of travel baseball. The hamster wheel of travel ball is a business model and not a baseball development model. For kids, baseball should be all about one thing—having fun! We play it as kids, watch and listen to it as adults, and pass down our love of it through generations.

Private Andy Carter and his squad redouble their efforts to hunt Ramsey down. The truth about Ramsey leaves the men reeling. He’s alive. The brothers in arms must hunt him down. They meet up with unexpected allies, reunite with German Shepard soldier Alice, and discover Ramsey’s whereabouts. When their unexpected allies pledge support for the squad, Carter finally sees closure on the horizon. But Ramsey might not come willingly. The men will be risking life and limb for one of their own, one who might not deserve their sacrifice.

It’s been three months since Andy Carter watched Ramsey do the unthinkable - he still has more questions than answers. Haunted by that day, Carter must dig deep and complete a new mission that leaves him doubting his lost squad member. Sent back to relocate villagers and destroy their homes, the theories around Ramsey only deepen. The squad makes their way to the ville where the Viet Cong presence is suspected, leading them directly into enemy crosshairs. They search the village despite one of their number making trouble, but none are prepared for what - or who - they find.

Many Jesus followers are sleepwalking through their Christian lives. They wear a smile, attend church gatherings, and try their best to make it through, but they don't really expect answered prayers, breakthroughs, or a miraculous change in their situations. Why? Disappointment and disillusionment. The Bible calls this "hope deferred." What we hoped for did not happen, and we are left with hopes and dreams that are dead.

An unusually loud supervillain is wreaking havoc upon the small quiet city of Sylviana. People are getting hit with citrus fruit, car parts are vanishing into thin air, and the villainous Professor Huzzah is shouting from hijacked TV screens in the middle of the night. The city could use a superhero. Or at least a dedicated and competent vigilante. But Sylviana doesn't have any such people. It has Joey Stuffleberg, a mild-mannered marketing writer who doesn't want to be a hero. More than anything else, he wants a nap.

God Meant It For Good traces the stages of Joseph's life as he matures from a young and impetuous man to one who is prepared to leave his own vindication with God.

Bob presents what he has learned from alcoholics, addicts, and their families over his 40-plus-year career. Straight talk, jargon-free, and down-to-earth are the hallmarks of his writing style as he tries to flesh out the complicated problems of alcoholism and addiction into practical, everyday terms and concepts any alcoholic, addict, their family, and counseling professional can use to supplement their path to recovery.

The final booklet in the series of five by Robert Hickle. His theme throughout all five works has been to make sure the means, the tools, and the attitudes needed to have a healthy and happy recovery are available and understandable in a down-to-earth, plain-speaking, jargon-free manner. Throughout all of Bob's writings, his care, concern, and insight are clear. With this as the final booklet he wrote, you'll find the remaining four at Amazon. It is our hope you will purchase all of them and write a review for each.

Drawing on 40 years of experience where he developed employee assistance programs (in both the railroad and manufacturing industries), counseling hundreds of alcoholics and addicts, Bob developed his own way of seeing the alcoholic/addict, their families, the addictions profession, and society’s view of alcohol. This booklet contains his words of wisdom in short chapters and with pithy titles like “Dealing with the Tensions of Sobriety” and “Sober and in Trouble”, as he relates his observations, experiences, and perspectives on working mostly with alcoholics.

This is the compilation of all five booklets written by Robert C. Hickle, written between 1976 to 1980. He reflects on his 40-plus years of experience counseling alcoholics, addicts, and their families; on the profession of addiction counseling, and on societal attitudes about alcoholism and addiction in general. Each booklet is divided into short chapters with titles such as "Alcoholic Lie a Lot" and "Sober and in Trouble" - all in a jargon-free, plain-speaking, down-to-earth style that reflects Bob's statement "I write like I talk."

Sobriety isn't just not drinking or using. Rather, it is a number of pieces that come together that make sense, creating a coherent whole which we can call life. In this audiobook, Hickle offers such pieces to consider as: "The Professionals See Them First", "I Never Got Anybody Drunk", and so much more! Like his other works, this audiobook is in Hickle's straight-forward, plain-speaking, down-to-earth, jargon-free style. Listen to enjoy, while learning at the same time.

The author continues his dual quest of better understanding the alcoholic and alcoholism. Again with his standout chapter titles, you'll hear: "Spiritual Insight or Despair?", "Comes The Dawn", and "Dry For 15 Years, Happy For Three Months." Listen to what he has learned, how precious recovery and sobriety is, and how that motivates the recovering person to spread the word about the price they paid to get to where they are with their recovery.
