Loiacono Literary Agency takes on Schlepping Towards Jerusalem: A Skeptic’s Pilgrimage through the Holy Land by Stephen Doster!

An unnamed witness to Jesus’ first public miracle learns of His crucifixion and immediately sets off for Jerusalem on a personal quest. Along the way he joins others who were beneficiaries of Jesus’ healing powers or witnesses thereof. Was Jesus the Christ, the Messiah spoken of by the prophets? Was he just another miracle worker or merely a wizard practiced in the dark arts? Can it be true that the Son of Man was really crucified? This is the story of the blessed recipients of Grace Eternal who embark on a spontaneous pilgrimage to the Holy City in hopes that their questions will be answered.

Stephen Doster was born in England and grew up on St. Simons Island, Georgia. He is a student of history and has extensively researched the Gullah and Geechee cultures of South Carolina and Georgia. He received a degree in Marketing from the University of Georgia and has a Master of Liberal Arts and Science degree with a certificate in history from Vanderbilt University.

Thomas Jefferson

His portrait is on the $2.00 Dollar Bill.

 

This is amazing. There are two parts to this.

Be sure to read the 2nd part (in RED ).

 

Thomas Jefferson was a very remarkable man who started  learning very early in life and never stopped.

 

At 5, began studying under his cousin’s tutor.

At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.

At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages.

 

At 16, entered the College of William and Mary.

 

Also could write in Greek with one hand, while writing the same in Latin with the other.

 

At 19, studied Law for 5 years starting under George Wythe.

 

At 23, started his own law practice.

 

At 25, was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses.

 

At 31, wrote the widely circulated “Summary View of the Rights of British America,” and retired from his law practice.

At 32, was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress.

 

At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence.

At 81, almost single-handedly, created the University of Virginia and served as its first president.

 

At 83, died on the 50th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, along with John Adams.

 

Thomas Jefferson knew, because he himself studied, the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, His laws and the nature of
man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today.

 

Jefferson really knew his stuff…

A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

 

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:

“This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House, with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”

 

“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .”  — Thomas Jefferson

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those    who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”   — Thomas Jefferson

“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its ‘ own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on, would save one-half the wars of the world.”   — Thomas Jefferson

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them.”  — Thomas Jefferson

“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government   results from too much government.”  —  Thomas Jefferson

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”  — Thomas Jefferson

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”   — Thomas Jefferson

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time  with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”  — Thomas Jefferson

“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes, the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.”   — Thomas Jefferson

BOOK REVIEW

Reviewed by Rolanda Lyles for Readers’ Favorite

Ed Protzel’s Something in Madness is set in post-Civil War Turkle, Mississippi. Durksen Hurst, a white former Union Army captain of a black unit, returns home to Mississippi with Antoinette, Big Josh, Long Lou, and a boy named Caleb, only to find that blacks are still treated–and sometimes even worse–as if they are slaves. After the war, slaves were legally freed, but many southern states did not want to release their slaves. The state calls them freedmen in name only. The town is led by Colonel Rutherford, a former Confederate soldier, and he has no plans of giving freedom to the slaves. Rutherford has enforced Black Codes, allowing them to legally accost any black man in the streets and sell them at auction. He pushes for all southern states to do the same. He also has many of the townsfolk in his service doing his evil bidding. Durk opens a law practice while attempting to recover the rights to his lost land, DarkHorse, and Mrs. Antoinette DuVallier-French’s land, FrenchAcres, but is met with many obstacles along the way from others who would rather have him and his friends dead.

Something in Madness is a gripping work of historical fiction! Ed Protzel created an action-packed depiction of American life in that era. Protzel does a remarkable job of highlighting the prejudice and violence faced by newly freed slaves. Something in Madness is immaculately well written and you can tell that the author took the time to thoroughly research details of the time to adequately reflect realistic circumstances. The dialogue is well-crafted to portray the speech patterns and mannerisms of the period. The story is well-paced and brilliantly written to hold your attention. There are many moments of intense suspense that cause you to hold your breath in anticipation of what will happen next. Protzel’s depiction of Durk’s character evolving from a cowardly schemer to a man with a conscience who bravely stood up for his beliefs was extraordinary. All of the characters and the storyline were brilliantly written and expertly executed. I was captivated from beginning to end.
