About the Author

Scott F. Paradis is a student of life and a seeker of ultimate truth. A native of New Hampshire, he has spent the last two decades traveling the world working national security issues, observing the remarkable similarities of people from diverse cultures, and pondering weighty questions: Why are we here? And where are we headed? Scott is married to a shining star, the former Lisa Newcombe, and has two wonderful children: a daughter attending college - Merideth and a son attending high school - Mitchell. Scott is a thinker, author, and speaker. He sees every challenge, every obstacle, as an opportunity to grow, an opportunity to release, and an opportunity to create. He has come to realize all our problems - social, physical, economic, environmental - are spiritual problems, requiring spiritual solutions. This experience we call life is a journey, a journey of discovery. Scott's quest, his life's calling, is to recognize and embrace truth. In fulfilling his purpose he seeks to capture in words and express in deeds wisdom beyond understanding, courage beyond valor, strength beyond certainty, and will beyond self-control. Through Promise and Potential Scott seeks to share a message of hope and seeds of insight for sojourners like himself. Scott beckons you to join him on this journey.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
