Alma Boeld, a charming socialite in the Lake District, takes Eric under her wing.

In Queensland, two seemingly unconnected investigations are underway; a stalled search for a murderer by the state police and mysterious shipments of cement that have set bells ringing in the Australian Federal Police. As the events converge, a cattle property in the Central Queensland outback becomes the unlikely setting for a series of incidents that threaten Australia's economy and national security.In the midst of Cyclone Oswald, which paralyses much of Queensland and northern New South Wales, Superintendent Lawrence Parry and his handpicked team of undercover and specialist agents must fit together the jigsaw puzzle of clues. The Bryants, a middle-aged couple who live on the remote property, struggle to remain viable in the face of a neighbouring cattle station that is the operational base for a multimillion-dollar enterprise. But these neighbours' past and present activities could have implications that are not just local, but global. Meanwhile, Parry is caught in a moral dilemma as he relies on a bereaved family, a disgraced university professor, an investigative reporter, and a retired mining engineer to uncover the truth.In this crime mystery, a team of federal officers investigates events that could not only affect Australia's international trade, but also catapult the nation into a war of words with nuclear overtones.

Think about it! What if youre stuck in a life situation with little or no hope for anything different? You have a nagging fear that you have never been really good enough to win Gods smile. There is nothing I could ever do to make you love me more, and there is nothing I could ever do to make you love me less. What if its true regarding our relationship to God? What if that is also true in our grace-based relationships with each other? What if in denouncing the tensions and hypocrisy of religion, you have isolated yourself from those hidden pockets of a loving community in our world and in your community? What if the best witness for Jesus is a loving presence and gentle conversation that flows naturally from your blessed heart rather than from a pressurized obligation in which we leave the unchurched hurt and angry with our presumptive pride. What if the worship described in heaven by the apostle is wilder and crazier than anything you have experienced in your church? What if complaining is a huge waste of time and denies the confidence and joy that is on the glory road with Jesus? What if the end of everything we cherish is always the beginning of something better? It sounds a bit preposterous, doesnt it? Maybe it does. Maybe it doesnt. Maybe we could get a lot closer to the beauty and glory of it all if we just knew and were willing to take the next step that God wants us to take. The vision of this writing is to help us see through the fog of evangelical complacency and recapture the spiritual pizzazz of New Testament-Christianity. Thank you for reading this far. I welcome you to continue as the spirit leads.
