Lyle Rapacki authors Our Forefathers truly Appealed to Heaven!

Posted on by

51WmF3cG2NL._SX312_BO1,204,203,200_Lyle Rapacki has a list of credintials after graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Northern Arizona University and his Doctorate from Clayton College of Natural Medicine specializing in the treatment of psychological disorders with natural medicine.

Most of his career was centered around law enforcement and he now runs the Sentinel Intelligence Service.

He also writes on intelligence and religious topics at Western Journalism and on The Olive Branch web sites.

Lyle recently released a new Kindle book on the founding fathers and religion for $5 entitled Our Forefathers truly Appealed to Heaven!

Lyle apparently received a strong review via email from Annette Meisner which read:

This little booklet is packed with insightful truths of the faith of our forefathers, leaders and patriots. Rapacki explains how we are now witnessing the removal of God’s blessings from the USA as President Washington and Benjamin Franklin both warned would happen if we turn our backs on Him disobeying His commands and precepts. Quick 30 minute read.

The book is available only for Amazon Kindle through Kindle devices or you can read it by downloading their Kindle reading app. I did not realize that before I purchased the book. Since I refuse to download their app and do not have a Kindle, I cannot review the content.

Having received numerous news tips from Lyle over the past year and reading many of his articles, I suspect this is probably a good read.

FLAGSTAFF — Twenty-one year old Ethan Depler of Chandler Arizona who was the subject of a missing person investigation by the Chandler Police Department and later believed to be somewhere in Northern Arizona was found deceased on Friday 9/25/15.

At approximately 2:30 pm on Friday the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a United States Forest Service employee who had previously received the missing person flyer on Ethan from the Sheriff’s Office. According to the caller he found Ethan’s vehicle as described in the flyer off of Forest Service Road 75 which is located north of Pittman Valley off of Interstate 40.

On duty Deputies from both the Flagstaff and Williams patrol divisions responded to the area and began a ground search. Within a short period of time Deputies located the body of Ethan Depler on a wooded knoll approximately 100 to 150 yards west of where his vehicle was parked.

Ethan’s body was removed to the Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office. Detectives and Medical Examiner’s Death Investigators are considering the possibility that Ethan died as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
