Best Selling Books by Joshua Wheeler

A rollicking debut book of essays that takes readers on a trip through the muck of American myths that have settled in the desert of our country’s underbelly Early on July 16, 1945, Joshua Wheeler’s great grandfather awoke to a flash, and then a long rumble: the world’s first atomic blast filled the horizon north of his ranch in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Out on the range, the cattle had been bleached white by the fallout. Acid West, Wheeler’s stunning debut collection of essays, is full of these mutated cows: vestiges of the Old West that have been transformed, suddenly and irrevocably, by innovation. Traversing the New Mexico landscape his family has called home for seven generations, Wheeler excavates and reexamines these oddities, assembling a cabinet of narrative curiosities: a man who steps from the stratosphere and free-falls to the desert; a treasure hunt for buried Atari video games; a village plagued by the legacy of atomic testing; a showdown between Billy the Kid and the author of Ben-Hur; a UFO festival during the paranoid Summer of Snowden. The radical evolution of American identity, from cowboys to drone warriors to space explorers, is a story rooted in southern New Mexico. Acid West illuminates this history, clawing at the bounds of genre to reveal a place that is, for better or worse, home. By turns intimate, absurd, and frightening, Acid West is an enlightening deep-dive into a prophetic desert at the bottom of America.

Hide and they will find you. Run and they will chase you. Ask and they will become you. A forgotten past. An unspeakable event. Four lives drawn back together. One Detective must solve the riddle before her life falls prey to the legion of demons hunting them all.

Sin is something that each one of us is born into. No one is above it and no one is without it. But with the help of God, we can overcome it. We are faced every day with decisions and opportunities that can change our way of life. All of us have been granted the permission to do whatA[a¬a[s right and whatA[a¬a[s wrong in the eyes of God. The choices that we make, whether theyA[a¬a[re the right ones or not, decide the direction our path will take us. Some allow God to help them make the right choice for their life, while others trust in themselves and are haunted by their decision for the rest of their lives. The story youA[a¬a[re about to read is an example of those who have decided to make their own choices outside of the will of God. This is a story of secrets and lies seeing the light of day. A story of skeletons coming out of the closet. A story of lives being altered and shattered in the blink of an eye. A story of how the sins we commit not only affect us, but the lives of those around us.

Do you struggle to connect with the stories of the bible? Perhaps finding the ancient culture too foreign to relate with, or the biblical characters to distant to empathize with.

Like in the 1930s, many today are counting on government to be the savior, but thus far all that's resulting from bailouts is a ballooning repayment schedule - just like back then. Fox News recently highlighted that the total federal out-lays in 1929 were $3.1 billion (less than 3 percent of GDP). By 1940, they tripled to $9.5 billion (10 percent of GDP). Worse still, the total federal debt mushroomed from $17 billion in 1929 (16% of GDP) to $43 billion in 1940 - (44 percent of GDP). And yet, unemployment remained at 15 percent. In 2016 the United States recorded a government debt of $18.96 trillion equivalent to 106.10 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product which does not include $127 trillion in unfunded liabilities. To put this in perspective car loan lenders like to see a DTI ratio of 40% or less, which means if you bring in $5,000 of income each month, your debt payments should be no more than $2,000. America would not qualify for a car loan. This book will teach you how to prepare for the coming collapse so that you and your family will survive.
