Do Miracle's Really Happen, is a story about some life changing events that happened in the life of the Author, and his wife, during a period of several years. It tells of some things that God worked, that are without question, things that just couldn't happen without the working of an Almighty Power. Not magic, but power that comes from unwavering faith in God, and trusting in Him to do what just seemed, could not be done. It speaks of a Miracle Peach Crop, that happened in Colorado, where an old dilapidated orchard brought forth more peaches than one could imagine, when all the other...

My name is Delinda Rodgers, the mother of the little girl, Lacey Rodgers, who will be the subject of this story. I'm writing this book, because I feel like the Lord wants me to tell about the marvelous things He was willing to do for our family, during the time that our daughter Lacey, was sick with leukemia, took her chemo, and recovered from the cancer that came into her life, like it does to so many other wonderful children. I feel like God would want me to share this with other families that are, and might be going through what we went through during this very difficult time. I know in my...

To travel upon the Silk Road is to travel through history. Millennia older than California's Camino Real, and perhaps even a few years senior to the roads of the Roman Empire, the Silk Road is a network of routes stretching from delta towns of China all the way to the Mediterranean Sea - a cultural highway considered to be essential to the development of some of the world's oldest civilizations.

While flipping through the atlas of Chang Ch'i-yun, one of China's most famous geographers, distinguished translator Bill Porter (Red Pine) developed a curiosity about the southwestern province of China. Dubbed Yun-nan, "South of the Clouds," this was the last area modern China to come under Chinese control. Originally conquered by the Mongols and eventually introduced to foreigners as a vibrant setting for trade, Yun-nan became a critical crossroad connecting East and West.

In 1992, Porter left his home in Hong Kong to tour the small towns and major cities of Yun-nan, studying each of...

Chinese civilization first developed 5,000 years ago in North China along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. And the Yellow River remained the center of Chinese civilization for the next 4,000 years. Then a thousand years ago, this changed.

A thousand years ago, the Chinese came up with a name for this new center of its civilization. They called it Chiangnan, meaning "South of the River," the river in question, of...

I have thoroughly, observed those many people that seem to just wonder through life, not really having a destination, or a traveling goal, and it always plagued me, as to why? So, 30 + years ago, I began to seek the answer to the question; why do so many people seem to be without a direction or a destination in life, and it occurred to me that the reason might just be, that they were unaware of, or at least unsure of where they had come from in the first place.
