Отрывок из книги
Although today I am primarily a Christian author, seeking to expose and disclose the vast differences between having religious beliefs about God, and sharing in a restored loving relationship with God, which Jesus our Messiah came to restore for us by the shedding of His pure and holy blood. However, I come from a background of a career in retail sales. Through my years of experience I have managed departments in stores, as well as moderate size stores; during which time I have partaken in a rich variety of numerous adventures.
In the two books I have written, I’ve endeavored to expound upon the many adventures I encountered and the differing characters I've had to deal with. In this my first book, I will tell mainly of my convenience store experiences. But will also relate some of the experiences I encountered with various characters while working in other retail stores.

“I was just wondering when someone was going to come along and take all of this nice money away from me.” (Only $75.00 Idiot! We had just opened, and you morons were my first customers)! At this, he seemed to have lost it. Eyes wide, and stomping his foot on the floor he shouted, “Don’t you believe this is a real hold up?” “No I don’t," I answered. Then I chose to challenge his bluff, thinking, if you don’t have a gun you’re in trouble, because I do! So I said, “If this is a real hold up – where’s your gun?”
Responding to my challenge, he began to pull his hand out slowly. I was thinking, if he has a gun, I’ll take out my car keys and ask if he wants that too. But when he had finished, his hand was empty as he said, “I don’t have one.” “You can’t hold me up without a gun!” I said sarcastically with laughter in my voice. Still, I wanted to make sure neither of the other two that were with him had one.
