As they meet creatures of glory from the unknown, both men know that no one approaches the world of fairy and remains unchanged. Now only time will tell if they can rescue the people of Rishkai before it is too late. An Otherwise Silent Sea is the tale of two young men and their dangerous journey of prayer, hope, and uncertainty as they embark on a quest to save a town from an ancient evil force.

Elizabeth Burgess was lucky enough to have Dr. J.J. Van Noppen for English at Appalachian State Teachers College. (now University) He encouraged her to write. She did not take writing seriously until the early 1980's when she returned from teaching in Baumholder Germany and was selected to attend The Writing Project at UNC-Pembroke. The project was based on the Berkeley, California Model. She received the Most Improved Award at the end of the project. This spurred her to write poetry and short stories and since her retirement from teaching she has written 3 novellas, 2 poetry collections, 1 childrens book with another in the works. She taught her 1st & 2nd graders to write stories. She believes we are never too young or to old to write for pleasure or publication.

These are stories of humans going through life, facing memories of lost love, lost pride, lost youth, lost energy, and many other losses. This book is about lost things and the fact that we survive these dark and black moments in our lives with shallow breaths that connect us to our heartbeats and make us continue-hurt, damaged, and broken-in life. "A book filled with drama, hope and hurt." -Justin Mandy, Teacher New Jersey School System "Had to continue on until I finished this book. Truly well written and filled with drama and surprises." -Tom Stephano, OFS "Gripping, intriguing and filled with life giving thoughts." -Chay Sabatini, Artist, Composer, Writer
What is the meaning of life? What is our purpose here on Earth? Why were we created? These are questions we have all asked ourselves at some point in our lives. Thankfully, the Bible offers the answers to these questions and more. In a concise overview of the major concepts outlined in the Bible, devoted Christian Pavel Baldea shares inspiring insight into the specifics surrounding the Word of God, His love for humanity, and man's disobedience and tumble into sin that led to the sacrifice of His only son, Jesus, to redeem mankind from eternal punishment and destruction. As Baldea leads believers chronically through the Bible, he details the beginning of creation, the troubles of Adam and Eve, the spiritual struggles of the Hebrew people, the period of the church, why God allows the existence of hell, the assurance of the rapture of Christians, and much more. The Last Day on Earth is an uplifting summary of the Bible shared to encourage believers to build a strong relationship with God and move closer to His will.
Most people today turn to the Criminal Justice System for support in time of need. They expect the apprehension, prosecution, conviction and punishment of the "bad guys". Unfortunately, the system exists for society in general and not necessarily for the individual victim. Too often the guilt is not determined, or if it is, the punishment is not appropriate for the severity of the crime. What happens then you ask? Our system fails even though the police did their job, and the criminal is free to again do the deed. Society is then left wondering how to proceed. Devine intervention has worked in the past in some instances, but the "higher power", whatever your belief, can also become frustrated and simply tire of some people's ignorance and lack of morals. Typically, the affairs are left to be tended by the people, but if and when it gets out of hand, matters must be addressed. It is at this point the decision had to be made to let mankind act as if they were the right hand of the ultimate overseer. There would be a list made of people to be dealt with and two men would be chosen to carry out the specifics. These men would be known as "God's Hitmen".
Many five year olds first step through the door of their kindergarten classroom clutching a favorite toy or squeezing a wedge of their blanket. But not Michael. He strode through the open door carrying a book in his arms for he'd taught himself to read by the age of four. And never did he stop. When he turned ten, I bought Mike a complete set of the World Book Encyclopedia. The day they arrived I found him sitting at the kitchen table with Volume One. It was his intent to read through all 22 volumes until I convinced him that was neither necessary nor their purpose. This was the time before the internet, before when needing to know was but finger tips away. Reading was a key to discovery and learning, and learning was Mike's life long passion, particularly learning about history.

The Rex is the story of a modern day prophet who seemingly has been given unlimited power by God. His purpose is to point men and women heavenward before the end comes. Although no one is ever hurt by his prayers and his power, he becomes the most hated man in the world in a matter of a few months. Born to now-departed aristocratic parents who built the stately Rexford Manor in the farmlands of southwest Colorado, Rex is uniquely suited to grab the attention of the world. In the process of time, Rex confronts brother and sister news reporters Mike and Dolly Dandridge in a quite mysterious way and their lives are literally saved by his warnings. The two agnostics are intrigued by a man they have never met as they repeatedly cross paths with those whose lives have been incredibly affected by Rex's influence. In the search for who and what this man is, they are confronted with far more than just what they suspected was simply a 'fanatic' preacher who was stalking them. Tornadoes that do no damage, huge hail storms that leave no trace, and a gigantic hurricane that is verily controlled by the prayers of one man keep the entire world on the edge of its seat with anxiety wondering who this prophet is and just what his message is all about. The Dandridges watch as the forces of darkness gather to destroy the one they have come to call The Rex, and they find out all to personally what it means to defend the man in the face of a society which hates him despite his love, his goodness, and his dedication to Jesus. The time is now, and yet Rex is moved by his God to make known that what heaven could do, it eventually will do whenever the end of the world finally arrives.
Rose City Tales. The following collection of verse includes short stories that were inspired from my recollections with events, fables and yarns that cover my upbringing while living here in Portland, Oregon. It's my intent to remember the times that meant the most to me and pass them down to others to enjoy. These stories are dedicated in memory to those that shared their lives with me (directly or indirectly) and in memory to those that helped shape these foibles. I want to thank my friends and family in helping create these stories, for their inspiration and love.
Success, happiness, love, appreciation, and respect. During the course of my 80-year life, I cannot remember meeting anyone who didn't want to obtain each of these goals, collectively a fulfillment of their lives, an affirmation that their lives really made a difference and meant something, and that their efforts were worthwhile. At the same time I know too many people who feel just the opposite, that they, compared to others, have been unsuccessful. And they are not as happy as they hoped to be. My purpose in writing this book is to uplift and help them. Never Stop Learning is a collection of 21 stories that I originally wrote for my 10 grandchildren, as helpful guidance to assist them in navigating life more easily and successfully. Subsequently, I became convinced that if my stories could help my family, then they could help many other people. This book is the result. Each story's purpose is to teach lessons defining the keys to unlocking success, happiness, love, appreciation and respect. Who should read this book? Truthfully, the ones who could get the most benefit are 16-35-year-olds because they have the most time left, maybe the greatest need, plus they are going through the years where they are making many key decisions in rapid order about education, careers, jobs, and perhaps marriage and children. But I truly believe anyone from 8 to 100 would learn from the book's lessons. I state this because some of my reviewers in their 80's told me so. This I know. None of us will ever know everything about most anything. We still have plenty to learn. Personally, I am never going to stop trying to learn. Like me, others still have that hunger for knowledge and understanding. I hope more will join us in that pursuit. Never stop learning. You won't regret it.
Love, fate, and family are the craziest of things..."As he unzipped her dress, Sam softly said, "Matthew, you are the only man who has ever seen me naked and not wanted to violate me..." Then, once he finished, Sam turned back around facing him and dropped her dress to the floor. Matthew turned the lock on his door and walked into her arms." After living twenty-one years in an institution of abuse, hatred, and forced submission with no knowledge of what love could truly be capable of can Sam find what her heart desperately longs for, what fate seems to have been pushing her towards, or will her brokenness keep her from Finding Love and Family?
This book is written for understanding the actual way and how of living by, with, and in a spiritual mind which shuts off the carnal mind. The Life of Jesus Christ in you is the WAY! I dedicate this book to humanity for a great life living in God and Christ.
In a redwood cabin in the middle of the woods live three bears: a baby bear, a momma bear, and a big daddy bear. One day before breakfast, they decide to go on a hike, never expecting the surprise that awaits their return. Curly Locks gets up early that morning, too, and goes for a run. After taking a shortcut, she ends up lost but finds her way to the three bears' cabin. She hopes to ask for directions but finds the cabin empty so goes investigating. She tries out the bears' chairs and beds and eventually ends up in the kitchen. When the three bears return home, they're shocked to find a girl with curly hair cooking them breakfast! These strangers sit together and chat, getting to know one another. Despite their differences, they're alike in many ways, too. Relationships can be built in unlikely ways, as Curly Locks and the three bears become friends for life.
The main aim of this poetry is to express some of the feelings that were created by the deadly Liberian civil crisis that led many dead, homeless and mentally disturbed, socially, morally, and economically imbalanced. The result of these conditions set heavy grief and frustration in my heart as the author of this book. Most of the poems have emotional tones because of the mood and personal experiences of the writer. However, these poems are intended to bring consolation and joy in the minds of its readers in order to let out bad feelings. I am aware that negative feeling, which includes anger, contempt, guilt and fear, must be minimized, if not eradicated in our daily lives.
Every religion on earth, godly or ungodly, Christianity, occultism, and satanic religions all respects blood and have something in one way or the other to do with blood. The Bible is a bloody book because blood is central to both the Old and New Testaments. After man sinned in the garden, the story of man's redemption has been a journey that began with the shedding of blood in Eden and ended with blood at Calvary. We have been taught about blood and how that blood is powerful. There are more religious songs about power in blood than any other subject, but what the church have not looked much into is the revelation of what makes blood powerful. Is it the usual red color of blood? Pre-suppose the blood of Jesus wasn't shed at all, will there still be any power at all in bloods in general that were shed before the crucifixion of Christ? This books takes the reader on an intriguing journey about mysteries in blood from a biblical perspective.
Throughout her life, God has shown Brandy R . Francis just how powerful words can be-for good or for bad. Why? In Genesis 1, God used words to speak all of creation into existence. Furthermore, He created human beings in His image and likeness. That means God delegated the authority of the spoken word to humanity so that we could rule and reign. Just as He declared things into existence, we declare things into existence through the words we speak. We have the power to manifest the world we want to see around us. In each chapter of Keep Watch at the Door of my Lips, Brandy will share stories from her life about times when she discovered the power and authority of words. She will match those stories with teaching from Scripture and provide a guided prayer so that you can better understand the authority God has given you on the earth and begin to be more mindful of the words you speak over yourself, your family, and those around you.

This novel challenges the Democrats to justify the creation of a Socialist American Republic. It forces them to rethink their 50-year campaign to force Americans to be obedient to the Washington and thus destroy the Federal Republic created by the U.S. Constitution, the second greatest document ever written. The Flynn family, which invented the Red Box anti-gravity device to revolutionize the world's transportation systems, viewed the national election as a last chance to change the course of history. They devise a series of cryptic conservative messages hidden in a Liberty Bell image on every cell phone in America. Broadcast from space, billions of political logos, called POLILOGOs, impact key Senate races as well as help the Republicans win the presidency in a national landslide. The book is a series of snapshots of Democrats questioning their politics because of their destruction of the free-enterprise system in part financed by China. In his Inaugural Address, President Werner holds up a smartphone to warn about its addiction which impacts efforts to squash Socialist initiatives. Neither the president nor anybody else learns of the POLILOGO's and their role to save the country.
This book follows the devotional theme of other books I have written over the last few years (Unraveling the Revelation, Prayers from the Psalms, Reflections on Romans, and Reflections on the Gospel of John), but with an added feature. At the end of each devotional passage there are four questions which can be used for discussion by Sunday School classes, home Bible study groups, or for personal reflection. This enables the reader to probe deeper into the truth of the biblical text and provides challenges to varying opinions without dictating any certain result. The fact that the letters of Paul to the church in Thessalonica are generally considered to be the oldest of the New Testament writings, combined with the reference from Acts 17:2 that Paul was only able to be with the church for three Sabbaths before being literally run out of town, makes this study all the more amazing. That the church survived after such a riotous beginning, let alone flourish as an example for the ages, proves that it truly was a miracle of grace. If God could produce such wonderful results in a place that from all outward appearances had no real chance to succeed, then surely churches today all around the world should take heart and believe that He can also do in our stations of worship what He did then and there. Any church that is struggling to grow or even survive can find hope in this ancient letter from the first missionary Apostle of Jesus Christ, our brother Paul.

Kabbalah means "a receiving" and in our context, a receiving of a higher conscious experience that ultimately leads to spiritual awakening, which is a permanent state of mind where the emotions awaken to a higher experience of consciousness while the fabricated self that the mind creates surrenders as a consequence. Along with a discussion about what happens in enlightenment or spiritual awakening, and how to develop the mind using the path of Kabbalah, this book also discusses the meaning of God, an explanation of the Infinite as it applies to one's own personal experience, the question of Will, and the Male and Female parts of the Godhead, along with elucidating some difficult concepts and stories of the Bible and applying them to the Sphirot of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Lastly, this book provides some advice on how to raise children to be mystics and how to recognize a suitable mate or Shiduch using the Sphirot system of the Tree of Life of Kabbalah.
The times that have been foreseen, foretold, and mostly feared have suddenly come upon us. These will prove to be times like no other in history. If God had intended for you to live during any other age, He would have arranged it. Yet from the foundation of the world God has purposed you live on the earth during a time of unprecedented deception and darkness and yet unequaled grace and glory. God has promised hope and help in troubled times. You may even discover that you were more prepared for these days than you had ever dreamed. Because the times that were to come, have come and you are here to be a part. "...but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits" (Dan 11:32b)
