The action is unexpected, and the philosophical ideas are deep. A vicious attack, a dubious new ambassador, shocking murders, and several assassins on the loose, a boat trip down the Nile, a terrible accident, a strange little book with secrets, and a major battle take their places in The King and Prince, Book Four in the adventure series Walid and the Mysteries of Phi.The realities behind appearances, synchronicity, intuition, happiness, power and meaning, life and death, evil and redemption, and the ghostly souls of books are just a few of the philosophical ideas that arise in new ways in this book. The center of government in the kingdom of Egypt is a target for violent revolutionaries. And you could never imagine what results.A short book, The Oasis Within, followed a group of men and one boy from a small village in western Egypt as they crossed the vast desert, headed for Cairo in the summer of 1934. That brief tale served as a prologue to an epic adventure story that will continue to reveal deep and surprising secrets about lives and our world.

In The King and Prince, the ongoing story will take us to more unexpected places. Walid Shabeezar, the Prince of Egypt, along with his friends Mafulla, Kissa, Hasina, and several other classmates will face an ultimate challenge that's as terrible as it is surprising in its unexpected twists and turns. And, along the way, much more will be revealed.

In this third volume of the philosophical adventure series Walid and the Mysteries of Phi, a wise character speaks to every one of us when he says to his friends, "We're all participants in a great drama that encompasses us in space and time. We're chosen to help move it forward, but we never have to depend on just our own abilities to do so. We're free, but we're also deeply supported and guided. Let that build your confidence, your faith, and your hope in the future. Great things are afoot. And we're among the foot soldiers of destiny."

Egypt has long been a land of mysteries. And the epicenter of those mysteries may be the area in and around Giza, where the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids are to be found.

It is often heard, "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas" although many feel anything but happy or merry at this season or during any season, due to loss in their lives. The Christmas or Holiday season, when people gather with friends and family, accentuates the losses in our human experience. This is due to the absence or the longing to be with those who are not with us at this season. Whether it is a death, a divorce, or a loss of a job, or a move that separates us from those we miss and love, the holidays can be joyous on the outside and agony inside. Some can pretend, while others just cannot, due to the pain.igriefresources.comGrievingteens.com GrievingTeensPublishing.comChristmasGriefBooks.com
