This book is a detailed insight of the geological history of North America, from its rifting from the Pangea, to where it is situated on the planet earth today. It describes the evolution of life forms from prehistoric ages, as well as getting struck by an Asteroid over 65 million years ago on the Yucatan Peninsular, to when the first Europeans appeared in the Caribbean in 1492 with Christopher Columbus.' - Timothy P Stavert.
My passion for pugs began many years ago long before they became the fashionable dog to own. For the next thirty years or so, there has been a pug by my side. They are loyal, cute, funny, energetic, adorable and at times, a little smelly! I have written this little tale for my ever so cute and much loved grandson Isaac so that he will always know of the three other little beings that meant so much to me and will always have a large piece of my heart. I hope that you enjoy reading this short story with your children.

Doctor John was born in Citronelle, Alabama in 1931, during the great depression. Raised in a Methodist minister's family, his early years instilled a lifelong passion for Christian Methodism. Doctor John initially enrolled at Huntingdon College in Montgomery Alabama to become a minister himself -following in the footsteps of his father-but later changed course in education, switching to a major in Paediatrics. After retirement, Doctor John reminisced on his early years and wrote the book 'Our Proving Ground: Memories of The Good Old Days'. Shortly after, he began to meditate on God's good earth and the people who gave themselves for others, eventually penning 'Fifty Two Weeks with God, God's Creation and Men and Women Who Followed Christ'. Doctor John spent many years reading into religious scriptures and varied histories of other faiths, through which he found a balance for his latest work, 'One Man's Belief: The Theology of Doctor John'. This book explores the evolution of the author's thoughts and beliefs as he further developed his own vision of God, God's creation and the will of God for mankind.
