  Arlen Grossman’s Life of the Potty Proves That Laughter Really Is the Best Relief Everybody has a story, but not everybody tells it from the bathroom. With wit, honesty, and a dash of irreverence, Arlen Grossman’s Life of the Potty takes one of life’s most private experiences and turns it into a clever, laugh-out-loud commentary on being human. This isn’t just a gag book. It’s a celebration of humor, storytelling, and the one thing we all share but rarely talk about.

The result is a book that can sit proudly on your coffee table (or n...

  The Man Behind the Call Sign You don’t earn a nickname like “Rage” by accident. David Donald James was known for his fire, on the streets, in the ring, and on the battlefield. But his memoir, Life and Times of Rage, tells a story far richer than the moniker suggests. It’s the story of a man whose fists were once his only language, but whose voice now mentors the next generation. In this gritty, heartfelt memoir, James traces his evolution from a trouble-prone teen with a short fuse to a highly trained Force Recon Marine, and eventually, to a mentor dedicated to transforming at-risk youth into purpose-driven young men. This is not a story about war. It’s a story about becoming. A Childhood in Motion, a Heart on Fire James grew up in constant motion, nine different schools, bullies at every turn, and a home environment that often left him to fend for himself. But even in those early days, the roots of leadership were forming. He stood up for the weak. He refused to back d...

  From the Battlefront to the Frontlines of Mentorship Some stories roar. Others whisper with quiet conviction. Life and Times of Rage: The Story of a Force Recon Marine Mentoring Our Youth does both. In this gripping memoir, David Donald James, known to his brothers-in-arms as “Rage” lays bare a life marked by turbulence, transformation, and ultimately, triumph. What begins as a story of survival in the world’s harshest environments becomes a call to action for every reader: to lead, to serve, and to never give up. At its core, Life and Times of Rage is not about war. It’s about what comes after, the quiet wars waged in the hearts of veterans, the hard-won wisdom earned in silence, and the sacred duty of guiding the next generation. A Reckless Youth, a Rising Storm Before he became a decorated Force Recon Marine, David James was a wild kid in Apple Valley, Minnesota. With a turbulent home life, a fierce temper, and a soul that seemed pre-wired for combat, he wasn’t headed ...

  A Warrior Forged in Fire In Life and Times of Rage: The Story of a Force Recon Marine Mentoring Our Youth, David Donald James doesn't just recount his life, he invites you to stand in his boots, feel the battlefield beneath you, and walk the long, painful path from combat to calling. From bar fights to battlefields, from jail cells to the halls of military honor, James's story is raw, unflinching, and ultimately redemptive. Known as “Rage,” James is not your typical war hero. He’s volatile. He’s fiercely loyal. And he’s been broken more than once, by violence, betrayal, and even his own brothers-in-arms. But every scar becomes part of his testimony. And every page makes one thing clear: this is a man who was built not by rank or ribbons, but by grit, faith, and fire. From Chaos to Corps Raised in small-town Ohio and wild-child Apple Valley, Minnesota, James was a storm in the making. As a teenager, he was expelled from school, lived out of buses, and fought anyone who...
