"All Charges Dropped, Vol. 2", by Haroldo Camacho, available from 1517 Publishing
Dive into the pages of the second volume of "All Charges Dropped", where the author Haroldo Camacho, a Certified Court Interpreter, invites you into the gripping world of courtrooms. But these stories also lead you to something deeper—the ultimate courtroom of God's judgment seat. Through each tale, you'll find a common thread: "Your sins are forgiven." As you journey through these stories, you'll witness a shift from human justice to divine grace, where guilt is replaced by freedom and forgiveness reigns supreme.

In the spirit of those free-flowing back deck conversations in Irvine, Talks with Dad Rod captures the essence of long talks about life, faith, and everything in between. This podcast is a continuation of that tradition, now hosted by Rod and his son, Ted. Each brief episode distills the warmth and depth of those discussions into a six-minute format, offering a moment of reflection amidst daily routines. Listeners will hear candid exchanges rooted in a Christian worldview, yet broadly engaging with culture, philosophy, and the nuances of modern society. It’s less a formal lecture and more like pulling up a chair to listen in on a thoughtful dialogue between a father and son. The podcast naturally explores spirituality and personal experience, aiming to provide genuine connection and insight one short talk at a time.
