A physician and his beautiful muse become entangled in an exotic dialogue, which leads to riveting enlightenment of logic and consciousness regarding the essence of existence. They examine the precepts of human origins through the lenses of intellectual Mastercraft, dissecting the concept of human creation using the hybrid tools of Darwin's evolution theory and the ancient mythology of creation as revealed in the scriptures. The protagonist's romantic fixation transcends the path of a reflective synergy of ancient versus contemporary views about life, transporting the reader to the fringes of human imagination regarding the complex spiritual entities that guard, guide, and control humanity on earth. Miriam's story encapsulates the perfect modern-day humankind, groping, searching, and seeking a legitimate pathway to find a place in the chaos and disorderliness of our cosmic scheme. Her impulsive intellectual dialogue with her loved one and their expression of deep rational thoughts, often interspersed with romantic interludes, provides the crescendo for this brilliant spiritual and intellectual expose by Dr.Obinna Eleweanya.

After Captain Flint dies in Savannah from the effects of yellow fever and too much rum, young Dick Brown and his pirate shipmates set out to find Flint's hidden treasure. Their quest leads them first to England and then back to the Caribbean, searching for the vital chart that will lead them to the spot. On the island where Flint buried untold wealth in gold and jewels, Long John Silver, Dick Brown and the pirate crew struggle to win control of the chart. Will they finally succeed and will their victory bring them the riches they dream of? Or will Dick find that there is more to life than gold, and that true love has a value far beyond sparkling jewels? Reviews "I was a bit sceptical at first believing that no one could add to or improve on Treasure Island, but I was mistaken. The author does a great job of telling the story from another angle and continuing on after the original story ends. I have always enjoyed family stories and this reads just like one as it is written from a father to his daughter. It just seems so much more personal written in this style. The plot and the characters are very well done and this one will be difficult for you to put down." Maura Coffee Time Romance & More "This is beautifully written, and cleverly put together. The sounds and smells of the sea, the loss of men and friends and any sense of attachment to man or principle pervade this work. The men - from Long John Silver to Billy Bones, have names that offer the sound and sense of the times. They weigh anchor and dream of the nearest taverns, wait to ambush ships full-laden from Charleston. Our narrator shares views of the people they see - especially the women of the West Indies. Yet, to our young narrator- none can compare to the beautiful Isabel. We see her importance early on - but are swept back into the story of this young man's days in England, his time at sea, and the pursuit of treasure which would make many men famous. Unexpected and unpredictable turns crop up, just when you think you can predict how it will all turn out." Snapdragon Long & Short Romance Reviews

Was Peter the first Pope? Should Christians pray the rosary? Should priests be married?These are among the provocative topics addressed in Roaming Catholics: Ending the Wandering to Embrace the Wonder!This thoroughly researched book presents the development of the Catholic Church in an engaging way to help Christians understand their common history shared by all. This history is not only fascinating, but also deeply compelling, revealing how the church has changed, adapted, and grown. Ultimately it reminds us that Christian faith is not grounded in denominations, but in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.The apostle Paul referred to the church as the "Body of Christ," not the "Body of Christians." Rather than Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, he proclaimed all are one in Christ.With this concept of the unity of the Christian Church at its core, this illuminating book by pastor and theologian Kenneth A. Behr takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of the Catholic Church. It's a history that is common to all Christians, connecting believers of all shapes and sizes through a shared past.Did you know that penance was limited to "once in a lifetime" in the early church? Or that people often delayed baptism until their deathbeds? While things have changed, the essential beliefs of the church based on who Jesus Christ is and the centrality of the Bible have remained the foundation.Sharing his own religious evolution from a Catholic altar boy to an evangelical pastor, Behr engages readers with a parallel story to the evolution of Catholicism. This story of development and change ignites a sense of wonder about the resiliency of doctrines, teachings, and traditions that have remained relevant to generations of Christians for two thousand years.

Ed Vasicek, "the Midrash Detective," traces doctrines associated with Paul to their Old Testament Jewish Root sources. Putting together the Old Testament "mother text" along with the New Testament midrash (elaboration) means the reader has more context and can better understand Paul's words. With a new variety of viewpoints about the intent of Paul's teaching, this book suggests that correlating Old and New Testament and Jewish Roots texts takes the "rocket science" out of interpreting Paul. Targeted toward serious lay persons, ministry professionals, and academics alike, this work should appeal to all interested in the Jewish Roots of Christianity and Messianic Judaism - and, of course, Paul's amazing doctrines!
The "Heavenly Citizens" series serves as a tool to help the Christian understand not only what the Bible teaches us, but also how to study the Bible. Explaining what the Bible teaches is like giving someone a fish to eat. Teaching him how to study the Bible is like teaching someone how to fish so he can feed himself. Both approaches are essential to developing spiritual maturity."Joshua" is the sixth volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series. In this book Joshua leads the second generation of Israelites across the Jordan River, from the east bank where Moses left them when he was promoted to eternity, to the west bank where they conquered the land of Canaan and divvied it up to the twelve tribes as their inheritance from the Lord.The approach for "Joshua" and for every volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series is to teach the student the meaning of Scripture. We also teach him or her how to study the Bible on his/her own. We do this in two ways: we provide a few rules by which to govern our Bible study, and we demonstrate by example how to study the Bible. Experience is an outstanding teacher. We practice in our books the rules for Bible study. By walking through the Bible with us, the reader experiences firsthand what our method of study is like.We believe the student will come out of our studies with both an understanding of the Bible and the ability to truthfully understand the Bible on his/her own. The path lies before you. Walk through the gate and join the journey with us! And may the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ be yours in abundance.
