Veni Vadi Vici

The Romans left a long-lasting legacy and their influence can still be seen all around us, from our calendar and coins to our language and laws, but how much do we really know about them? Help is at hand in the form of this book which tells the remarkable, and often surprising, story of the Romans and the most enduring empire in history. Fusing a lively and entertaining narrative with rigorous research, Veni, Vidi, Vici breaks down each major period into a series of concise nuggets that provide a fascinating commentary on every aspect of the Roman world, from plebs to personalities, sauces to sexuality, games to gladiators, poets to punishments, mosaics to medicine, and Catullus to Christianity.

“Veni, Vidi, Vici taps into the human desire to connect with the animal world nicely. Jackson knows her subject intimately, and that comes through loud and clear in Veni’s story.” BlueInk Review Four Stars (out of Five) “Jackson uses a simple, straightforward writing style to convey Veni’s thoughts. There are no fancy words or detailed thought processes, but the absence of these elements only highlights the simple-minded nature most dogs have, without suggesting that Veni isn’t smart in a very canine way.” Foreword-Clarion Reviews “Veni is larger than life, and her voice makes for fun reading.” Kirkus Reviews Veni is a Pumi puppy from Hungary, but she has recently been adopted by a new family from the United States and moves to their ranch in California. In this collection of letters, Veni describes her new life for her auntie back home. At first, she doesn’t think it’s fair that she has to leave her old home, learn English, and learn to get along with her new doggie housemates—Levi, another Pumi who teases her, and Demi, a standard poodle who hates her right from the start. What’s more, it seems her new human mom trains dogs for a living, and now Veni has to learn to be on her best behavior all the time. And that’s not easy for a dog who likes to get into so much trouble! She also exchanges letters with some puppy pen pals and runs the risk of getting sent to Soledog Dog Prison due to her wicked ways. Written with humor from a puppy’s perspective, Veni, Vidi, Vici shares the crazy events of one dog’s first years with her new family.

The Lord pointed out to me the number 111 in a special way. I have testified about this in this book and how it led me to the three purposes of the Church which are evangelism, worship and spiritual growth. I do this through 3 chapters in the Bible. They are Psalm 111, Psalm 112 and 1 Corinthians 13.I have also added an important chapter on the Holy Spirit because of so much misunderstandings about spirits. I conclude with a look at Psalm 110 which tells us what's going on now and what is coming in the future. I explain in the introduction my purpose for writing this book which is to raise money for the Castle Theatre Ministry of my daughter's family. If anyone would like to donate directly to this ministry, please send to Castle Theatre Ministry, P. O. Box 201, Dearing, Kansas, 67340. It is tax deductable and they will send you a receipt. The Lord laid on my heart to introduce him also to those who have not fully been introduced to Him. I did this in Act 2 in this book. I hope you are inspired by this writing as much as I have been.
