Launched in an era when speed and grandeur went hand in hand, the RMS Queen Mary is the last survivor of the golden age of ocean liners. From the time of her maiden voyage in 1936, passengers crossed the North Atlantic cocooned in luxury. Movie stars, tycoons, politicians, and royalty shared a ship with everyday people, for whom this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During World War II, the Queen Mary ferried countless soldiers safely across the sea and, at war's end, carried their brides and babies home to America. Refurbished and polished to her previous glory, the Queen Mary continued to carry passengers until her final voyage to Long Beach in 1967. The RMS Queen Mary now serves as a floating hotel and tourist attraction, a living testament to her glamorous history, a generous showcase of art, and a magnificent example of a time when oceans could be crossed in both comfort and beauty.

Metanoia By: John Thomas “Someone is going to die today.” Preacher visits a prisoner named Mike who seems uneasy. He asks Mike, “Oh my God, who?” “No one knows. That’s what makes us all nervous. We all have enemies. A guy could be killed for almost any reason around here.” “Mike, do me a favor, let Arrow know. I hope he is not in danger.” “I will, Pastor, I will.” Someone dies that day. Who is it, and why? Life in prison can be dangerous, but daily, some will consider living in prison as living in hell. God’s not here and doesn’t care about me, many prisoners might think. But God hides in unusual places. A preacher makes a call to action, to save an evil man who has to choose between being saved or God’s judgment; Jesus and heaven or keep on the road to hell. Both places are real. God knows the human heart and can change it. Metanoia means “to change your mind and heart.” People who are slaves to sin are prisoners within their own worlds. Let God speak to your heart in this book. Be willing to accept Jesus and the challenge of being a Christian today. Let God change your heart. Find the true you. This book can help set you free and show you the road to heaven. Your life is like this novel. How will it end?

The epic of the apostle St. Thomas is reported in this treatise. The traditional tale tells an unacceptable story without credibility and relevance to the reality of how Jesus and His apostles preached—to whom, when, where and why hearers left their earlier faith to become the first believers in the faith, which has since come to be known as Christianity in spite of all the resistance, persecutions and tortures these believers had to endure, suffer and die cruel deaths for. Then there are the enduring unassailable facts—a people on the west Malabar coast of Peninsular India, the Syrian Christians, claiming from the very beginning of their existence of having been Christianised only by the testimony and witness of the apostle to their ancestors, and a tomb on the east Coromandel Coast of peninsular India at Mylapore, forlorn and without any local devotees (until the coming of the Portuguese), that has always been known and claimed to be the only burial place of the apostle. Then it has to be critically evaluated, why among the apostles, St. Thomas alone travelled about 7000 km east and south of Palestine (in a direction away from the travels and mission of all other apostles), traversing desert and ocean to preach only to two similar communities at two seaports at Muziris and Mylapore on either side of peninsular India. This is the enigmatic and perplexing matter thoroughly researched, analysed, evaluated and reported in this book and treatise. The book finally arrives at the factors that led to the success of the apostle’s mission at the seaport of Muziris.

The upper Bohemia, the Right Bank of Paris in the 1920s, is the setting of this important social document. Dry Martini, Thomas’s only published novel, epitomizes the Right Bank of Paris in the early 1920s. The principal characters are American. Mr. Quimby, a man of wealth, devoted to women, com­fort, and dry martinis, has his life upset by the appearance of his twenty-two-year-old daughter by his former wife. Feeling he must “take care” of her, he contem­plates the need to reform himself. Fortu­nately, he is saved by the appearance of a young man who marries his daughter, and Mr. Quimby returns to his normal life, his mistress, and his dry martinis. Thomas was fresh out of Yale when he arrived in Paris in 1922 headed for a literary career. His novel gives a picture of Right Bank life, the haunt of Fitz­gerald, Louis Bromfield, and, later, Hem­ingway. Thomas spent three years in Paris, returning to New York in 1925. He died in the Tuscany Hotel on 39th Street on March 12, 1932, of acute chronic alcoholism.
