At Your Service: Living the Lessons of Servant Leadership

   Red & White Lighthouse looking over the water



Serving with Purpose: A Book That Transforms Leadership from the Inside Out

What does it really mean to lead by serving?

In At Your Service: Living the Lessons of Servant Leadership, author Charles E. Wheaton challenges readers to reimagine leadership not as a position of power, but as a posture of humility. Drawing on a lifetime of experience across the corporate world, faith communities, and personal relationships, Wheaton shares a transformative message: the most impactful leaders are those who put others first. Through honest storytelling and scriptural insight, this book invites readers into the heart of servant leadership—one rooted in love, accountability, self-discipline, and grace.

Unlike traditional leadership books that focus solely on performance and results, At Your Service dares to go deeper. It speaks to the soul of a leader—offering reflections on character, calling, and the power of influence when guided by Christ-centered values. Wheaton walks us through key principles such as active listening, supporting others’ growth, and responding to conflict with empathy and courage. These lessons are not just meant for CEOs or pastors; they apply to anyone called to lead—whether in a classroom, community, business, or home.

Wheaton’s writing is deeply personal yet universally relevant. He doesn’t present himself as a perfect leader, but as a fellow traveler who’s learned through both triumph and failure. With each chapter, he presents a blend of scriptural foundation, practical applications, and reflective questions designed to help readers examine their own hearts and leadership styles. His insights are clear: when we align our leadership with God’s example, we not only uplift others, but we also experience a deeper sense of purpose ourselves.

At Your Service is more than a guide—it’s an invitation. It calls us to slow down, look around, and serve with intention. In a world driven by self-promotion and status, this book is a refreshing and necessary reminder that true leadership is not about being in charge—it’s about being available and present for others, just as Christ was.

Whether you’re a new leader seeking guidance, a seasoned professional looking to refresh your perspective, or a believer searching for purpose in your role, this book will leave a lasting mark.

Are you ready to serve in a way that transforms lives—including your own?

Looking Back-Looking Forward

 Book Cover Two eyes


Looking Back-Looking Forward:

Poetry written by a father and husband dedicated to his murdered son and his wife, a victim of Pancreatic Cancer


Grief carves the soul, but love gives it voice.


In Looking Back–Looking Forward, Ralph L. Myers opens a deeply personal window into the soul’s endurance through unimaginable grief. Through a touching collection of poetry, Myers invites readers to join him in honoring the two greatest loves of his life—his wife Francine, taken by pancreatic cancer, and his son Tom, whose life was tragically cut short by violence.


This book is more than a poetic tribute; it is a spiritual reflection born out of heartbreak, resilience, and unwavering faith. Through verses rooted in real-life sorrow and Christian hope, Myers offers a gentle hand to others walking through loss. His writing becomes a sanctuary—each poem a quiet place to sit with grief, to acknowledge pain, and ultimately to find solace in the presence of God.


What makes this collection especially profound is its honesty. Myers doesn’t shy away from the raw ache of loss, but rather walks through it with dignity and reverence. At the same time, his reflections are infused with spiritual depth, demonstrating how one can live forward with purpose even while looking back with love. The poems draw strength from Christian principles of compassion, endurance, and the healing power of memory.


This book belongs on the shelf of anyone who has loved deeply and lost dearly. It speaks not only to the wounds of grief, but also to the quiet courage required to carry on. For those seeking peace in their own storm, Looking Back–Looking Forward offers comfort, faith, and the gentle reminder that love never dies.


What story does your grief want to tell—and how will you let God help you carry it?

16 Missing Bible Verses: The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters

 Book Title on Green Background


The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters
In this compelling book, we delve into a narrative that many Christians are unaware of, one that could reshape the bedrock of their faith. 16 verses, quietly absent from the well-thumbed pages of modern translations like the NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, and CSB, sparks a critical question: what else don't we know? Advocates of the King James Version argue for the inclusion of these verses, while others question the integrity of the scriptures, citing these omissions as evidence of manipulation or error. This book isn't about complex theories or hidden motives. It's about straightforward facts that anyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, can observe for themselves—By simply turning the pages, one will encounter the gaps, the silent spaces where these verses once resided
However, the mystery begs the question: were these verses originally absent or subsequently added? Were the 16 verses lost, or were they insertions that never belonged?
Here's what "16 Missing Bible Verses" can offer the reader:
Identification of the missing verses and why they're not in modern Bibles.
Insights into the historical changes of the Bible and discussions on its reliability.
Examination of the significance of these verses and how they can influence your faith
Resources to help you investigate these verses and the history of biblical text.
Presented in a language free from academic jargon and distilled into plain speech, the book extends its reach to every believer, seeker, and skeptic with the message that the past is not a riddle to be feared but a narrative to be comprehended. Whether one's faith is unwavering or non-existent, this book serves as a guiding light of understanding. For the believer: this book will give you the footing to stand firm and uncover why these verses have slipped through the cracks of modern translations and discern their significance in your spiritual journey. For skeptics who cite the 'missing' verses as evidence of the Bible's unreliability, this book presents a factual exploration that helps you delve into the historical context and discover the data behind these omissions. It provides you with a well-rounded and informed view of the Bible's evolution and validity.

DOOMSDAY PLANET

 Interplanetary Battle


DOOMSDAY PLANET
The world’s richest man just made a killer deal with an alien species; he’s sold them the human race! Astronaut Marcus Reno dies in a lunar accident, only to be resurrected by a race of benevolent time travelers to command a regiment of warriors plucked from Earth’s past. Their mission: save humanity from an invasion by the Zagan—tyrannical aliens working in cahoots with Earth’s richest man, who’s eager to leap from oligarch to god. With doomsday imminent, Reno leaps into battle with only a band of Viking berserkers, and a tenacious WW2 Soviet aviatrix at his side. Together they must assault a Zagan base hidden on a prehistoric, dinosaur-infested planet. Between the Zagans’ guns and the dinosaurs’ jaws, their chances are slim . . . but is it still a suicide mission when, technically, they’re already dead? … “Doomsday Planet is part military thriller, part time-travel epic, and all-out action. Melds gallows humor, speculative madness, and cinematic pacing into a genre fusing space adventure. Beneath the chaos is a meditation on sacrifice, and the costs of playing god.” The Prairies Book Review
