Warrior to Spiritual Warrior: The Soldier’s Journey by Jess E. Weiss jweiss10@optonline.net Jess E. Weiss lived through the most famous battles of World War II. But he didn't know until he got home, the true price of war. Warrior to Spiritual Warrior is the autobiography of Jess E. Weiss, one of the few living combat soldiers who survived the D-day landing on Omaha Beach. But his experiences in Europe's most famous battles were only the beginning of Weiss' amazing story. He returned home from war to find himself facing a new battle, with the trauma that is known today as PTSD. A debilitating condition unrecognized in WW II, that led him to the most profound and transcendent spiritual journey imaginable. Warrior to Spiritual Warrior is the post war memoir story of the journey Weiss took as he rebuilt and reshaped his life. From the battlefields of WW II to his attempts to build a new spiritual foundation, Jess Weiss' story is an unvarnished and stark portrait that will horrify, shock, illuminate, and untimely liberate your faith in the strength of the human heart to heal and transcend the past.

Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
