Can you imagine a time many hundreds of years ago when you slept on a pallet on the floor, ate fruit, yoghurt and flatbread that your mother baked in a small outdoor adobe oven, and you travelled everywhere by foot or donkey back?

Revelation, the culminating book of the Bible has inspired, intrigued, or just plain puzzled readers for almost 2,000 years. It remains enigmatic to many. However, once his intricate codes are cracked open, St John unveils its inexhaustible treasures to the inquiring mind-be it that of a theologian or an unlettered observer. The book is not really a compendium of conundrums at all. It was not written in order to remain within a folded scroll on a hidden shelf. It was meant to be read and understood, to be absorbed, shared and declared, for it offers God's answer to the perplexities encountered by humankind be they endemic to the 1st, 21st, or any century in between. Revelation-The Apocalypse-is exactly what its title intends it to be: it is a revelation, a peeling back of the mystery to disclose God's great and eternal plan of redemption. This is, actually, the subject matter of the entire Bible - from Genesis to Revelation - and the news, ultimately, is good. Apocalypse Dawn is written to endorse the validity of God's word for every age-yesterday, today and, tomorrow. You are invited to lift the veil: discover the ultimate Revelation!

Who are you really and where did you come from, besides the obvious biological details? Do you believe in a higher power from a higher dimension, or do you never really seriously question your existence? Well, this story is a journey of self-discovery, entering into a spiritual world unknown, a world unseen, a world in another dimension. This story is about a young girl who had to learn that everything isn't always as it seems and that some things may remain hidden for your protection and in other times need to be revealed, in order to save you. "The world we see and experience with our natural senses is not the reality that really exists. This short novel gives us a peek into the life of a supernatural child, the world of mental illness and the battle that rages between light and darkness. As a prophet of God, with many supernatural experiences and the gift of spiritual sight, I could relate to all that was said in this piece, yet I am not sure if it was my experience of this sort of reality that had me on the edge of my seat or the story that I was reading. Come and join Jessica, a young girl that will open up this brave new world to you the reader." - Matthew Robert Payne Author and Prophet

Jim Nicholls takes readers on a journey like no other. Visit places as remote as the Zulu battlefields in South Africa, learn about an inventor who made the first heavier-than-air flight before the Wright brothers, and take in an Easter church service in a small Portuguese town. All this and more are held together by tales of trains ranging from a tiny rail motor in the Queensland outback to a wild ride in Borneo. Experience Switzerland and America from the windows of a train. Train travel opens a window on the world, allowing a visual eavesdropping and intrusion into a country's backyard that, if done in any other form, would probably result in arrest. Trains have it all, they convert the journey into the adventure. Real people travel on trains. Discussing with a young girl from New Zealand how one meets interesting and friendly people on such journeys, she neatly summed it up: 'Yeah, how many nice people do you ever meet on an aeroplane?'

"Populate or Perish" was the mantra after World War II as Australia sought to boost its population through immigration. This gripping story follows the lives of two young sisters as they embark on a journey of hope and opportunity, leaving behind war-torn and debt-ridden England for the promise of a better life in Australia. But as they navigate the challenges of a new country and grapple with the harsh realities of the immigration process, they are forced to confront the tragedies and heartbreak that come with the consequences of their choices. With a backdrop of a world in turmoil and a nation in flux, this novel explores the human cost of political decisions and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

People in my position must often ask themselves what the answer is? How did I get here? At what cost? And how did I finally come out on the other side, into a world where the grass is green and smells fresh. And where life is worth living and relishing for every last facet of its existence - a place where utopia can exist for the simplest of men. It is ironic that what finally triggered my debut book was being handed the psychiatric report on our youngest daughter's suicide. People always say that inside every good journalist is a book, and I always joked that that ruled me out in that case. But then I thought about what everyone is looking for - the secret of a happy life. And this story is about the journey that it took to get there. We will never be able to bring her back. Obviously. But we can take massive strides towards rebuilding a family that was once so strong, and bringing it back to a time when laughter really was the most valuable thing we had. You will laugh and you will cry in equal measure, and hopefully somewhere along the way you will be inspired. But what you could not do, no matter how you tried, is make any of this stuff up.

Will someone not wonder what you are about, If the truth remains hidden and does not come out? An opportunity to get your husband the £10,000 that he owed. Does that not sound good? Is that not what Kelly would have thought, and gone along with, when presented with this once in a lifetime offer? But those who presented her with this opportunity, were they really her friends? Were they thinking of her? Or, were they using her, and thought only of themselves? And what of the malicious gossip going on in the background, accusations of which she was totally unaware. If only she had told her husband the truth right from the start, then all the uncertainty and mistrust would not have ensued. But she did not. She wanted everything to be a surprise. Thinking it was the right thing to do but she kept quiet. And the quieter she kept, the more guilty she appeared... As Christmas drew near she decided to tell him the truth. But had she left it too late? Her nonsensical story, her ridiculous version of events sounded so far-fetched and absurd. After all of this time, after all of the secrecy, was she expecting too much to imagine that he would believe her?

Dougal LeClair has decided to make a chocolate cake for the local fair's cake competition. He doesn't have all the ingredients, including the chocolate he needs. With a bit of bear logic, some cunning and a large dose of bravery, he bakes a massive, delicious-looking cake. The people at the fair are amazed, but does it really taste as delicious as it looks? Maybe there is another use for Dougal's cake...?

Sleeping is like breathing and eating, we all need to do this, but what happens when out of the blue you suddenly discover you are awake all night and the little sleep you do manage is barely enough to get by on and nothing you do seems to help? You try everything you can think of, but the trouble is the less you sleep the more you are unable to function and think properly. Learning to cope with every day is an effort and you are trying to combat being perpetually tired and depressed. Then days turn into weeks and weeks into months and even medication doesn't seem to work. Even though on the outside you look normal, you do not feel normal, EVER. What happens then? Are you able to live as usual? Should you accept this and just try and manage or do you fight? This is the story of one woman's attempt to free herself of insomnia and get on with life because, as we know, we all need sleep.

This is an African story of a young black caretaker and the white twin boys in his care and the circumstances and courage that took them to hell and back. Unlike many other books covering the South African Angolan Bush War, the novel Until We Meet Again is the story of April and the twin boys Mark and Andy. The novel will take them on an adventure of survival and courage that will test their love and camaraderie for one another during a time when the divide between black and white in South Africa was controlled by dark forces. The novel is about the everyday lives of the two South African families during the 1960s and 70s when the country was under attack from the Pan African Congress's Poqo army. April would soon find him in a struggle between his own prospects for a better life for himself and his family, but cannot relinquish his responsibilities to care for the two siblings, which left him with difficult decisions to make which would test his courage to its limits. April became a seasoned freedom fighter and one of the most wanted terrorists in South Africa, while the twins innocently landed themselves in an adventure that had turned into a life-threatening situation that they never dreamed of before. The story will take the reader from the tranquil mountains and rivers of the Eastern Cape to the war-torn Angolan desert where one of the most controversial cold war armed conflicts fuelled by the Americans and Russians would play off and end in a stalemate.

Have you ever wondered how to escape from depression? Or indeed, how to help someone escape from such a prison? This book finally opens up the doors to a mysterious world that an outsider cannot normally experience. Up until now, there existed an almost unbridgeable gap between the 'normal' world and the 'depressed person's' world. Using a personable and honest narrative, the text provides a unique window of experiential understanding, whereby the sufferer can feel truly helped, and no longer alone; by accompanying someone who has really been there too. Using a unique approach, interweaving three different strategies comprising hard-won personal experience, a practical cognitive tool-kit that works and God's living word full of wisdom and truth, the author sign-posts for the reader the pathway towards a real and lasting freedom; a freedom which sometimes challenges our worldly notions of life and success that tend to keep us imprisoned and enslaved. The book is a powerful and inspiring portrayal of upheaval and renewal, demonstrating to the reader that a strong backbone for life can come from an often overlooked source.

Some say, 'I cannot believe in God because science has disproved it!' It is now apparent that such reasoning is invalid. Modern science supports what the Bible teaches, and the Bible supplies what science cannot. This book demonstrates this unity with many facts and examples, showing how conflicts in the past have been resolved and how this is relevant to how we live today.

Covering the period from when Earth began to the end of the Great War and designed for the general reader, this book aims to give a chronological account of life on Earth. It relates all parts of the world to each other for those whose acquaintance with history has been limited to short periods about different places and cultures. Each of the chapters has been designed to be self-contained so that browsing by episodes of time or place will be informative and interesting. Scientific discoveries, cultural advances and religious milestones illuminate how the human race has developed through the ages. The present state of the world, and our society (scientific, political and religious), is more easily understood when we understand how it came about; in this way, it is easier to comprehend present personal and national identity and morality. For those whose knowledge of history is largely confined to short detailed periods such as those of the Romans or the Tudors, perhaps studied at school, then this account sets out to fill the gaps both in time and in geography and show how they relate to one another, and what was happening across the world in the same era.
