Love and Death in the Valley (Paperback)

 

Book -- AbeBooks affiliate - Desert Gazette

Love and Death in the Valley (Paperback)

$20.06 – TRADE – New

Love and Death in the Valley is a contemporary David and Goliath tale that will inspire and challenge the reader. It is the personal story of Reverend Kevin Annett, the minister who single-handedly exposed the murder and genocide of aboriginal people by the government of Canada and his employer, the United Church of Canada. This book is his own gripping and passionate account of his heroic efforts against insurmountable odds to document hidden crimes among west coast native people after he began a ministry among them in Port Alberni, British Columbia in 1992.Love and Death in the Valley is a book that is ‘large in heart and integrity’ (Ruth Parnell, Nexus magazine, Vol. 9 No. 3:77). It describes how Kevin was fired and then expelled from his church after asking ‘too many questions’ about the deaths of native children in his church’s ‘residential schools’. But the narrative shows how Kevin persevered in the face of a blacklisting and smear campaign against him by both church and state, and brought to light the crimes of genocide that both institutions want to remain ‘hidden from history’.This book is a tale of one man’s victory over lies and corruption. Its clear message is that one person can indeed make a difference.

Appealing The Death Sentence of Valley Fever: Quality of Life Through Observations from Author & Valley Fever Survivor D. Waters

$9.33 – TRADE – Used

The sole reason for writing this book was to show others living with Valley Fever that change is possible. The medical professionals weren’t giving me good solutions and didn’t have an answer. Medication wasn’t working. Yet, I knew I could do better which would make me feel better. Believe me, at first every day was a struggle with my Coccidioidomycosis symptoms. This book is my personal experience and details my journey back to health and how I went from sitting on the couch watching life pass me by to living a life as good or better than before I was diagnosed. The changes that I implemented are offered to you so you can try them for yourself. Nothing in this book is complicated and I am compelled to share this information so you too can take charge of your Valley Fever treatment. Read it for yourself, and make it your own. If you are living in pain and despair because of Valley Fever like I was, what do you have to lose? See if these small changes work for you, like they worked for me, and start your journey back to health.

Who Killed Chester Pray?: A Death Valley Mystery

$10.46 – TEXTBOOK – Used

Written in the newly recognized nonfiction genre of historical reconstruction, Who Killed Chester Pray? transports the reader to a last, grand hurrah of the American West. Seeking his fortune in the early 1900s, young prospector-assayer Chester Pray filched a Nevada sheriff’s horses, stole gold belonging to a U.S. Senator, and ultimately discovered one of the richest lodes ever in Death Valley. Then, Pray was shot dead in the night.By who? Why? As many as seven individuals had ample cause to kill Chester Pray. His new partners? Gunslinger “Diamondfield Jack”? Even pretty Clara, his fiancée? The psychologically compelling answer is not what you would expect.”Who Killed Chester Pray? provides new and revealing information about one of Death Valley’s most provocative unsolved mysteries. Author Nicholas Clapp’s intensive research and use of a flowing narrative result in a wonderfully readable book that not only probes the dark side of human nature, but presents an exciting picture of the American mining West of the early 20th century.”–Linda Greene, coauthor, A History of Mining in Death Valley National Monument
