The Springdale Warriors are a dysfunctional, winless, high school boys' basketball team who spend more time fighting each other than their opponents. Coach Eddie is at a loss to find a way to get them to work together. It will take a miracle. When an elderly and weakened court wizard casts a desperate spell for warriors to come to the rescue of the besieged kingdom of Aerthos, it goes drastically awry, crossing time and worlds.

What follows is a humorous journey of growth and bonding as the boys and their coach try to stay alive in a land where the people look to them as saviors. The boys soon come to realize that the only way to survive is to trust each other and work together as the team Coach Eddie has been trying to get them to be all season. But with time running out for them to return home and the kingdom to survive, a dangerous plan is enacted. However, getting home is only part of the problem. They first must battle an evil lord, his wizards, and a massive army.

One born of air. One born of fire. Together, two teenagers must stop a god war. Conall and Aedan, having reached their sixteenth year, both leave their homes to go on a quest for their spirit guides, only to be swept into intrigue and mystery when the Elder Druids tell the boys they are tied to prophecy about a great war between the Ancient Ones, the Ársa and the Fonn, who want to do battle on the lands of Inis Crainnshir-one that could destroy both the mortal and immortal realms alike, including Tir na nÓg, the Otherworld. To prevent this, Conall-with his hawk, Lann-and Aedan-with his dragon, Fiachra-will journey to find the thirteen Wands of Danu dispersed across the world. Not only will they travel through perilous lands unknown, but also contend with banshees and other monsters, as well as the dark Fomoragh, a demonic band whose sole purpose is chaos. With the aid of druids, friends-new and unlikely, and heroes, Conall and Aedan need to go from farm boys to warriors if they have any chance for success. They learn something, however, that ties them to the Ancient Ones, something that will challenge their quest and forever alter their friendship.

The illegal drug trade is a dangerous business. It is especially dangerous within the Mexican mafia - known as The M or La Eme. Life is cheap in the mafia, usually worthless. Most of them end up in prison or dead. Very few have made it out of the business alive. Those few are in witness protection or on the run. It is not a good career choice. There is no 401k or dental either. Johnathon William Clarke had been introduced to the drug trade at an early age as a pot smoker. His parents called him Billy. Everyone else called him "Billy the Kid" because of his boyish face. After an awkward interview, he became a dealer. Billy did well as a dealer and a promotion to courier soon followed. He managed to stay under the radar and had never been busted or rubbed the wrong person the wrong way. La Eme thought he was lucky and he was one of their most trusted couriers. His life was illegal and dangerous but surprisingly simple and relaxed at most times. Things change in an instant in the drug trade and that is exactly what is about to happen to Billy.

Baptism is a major point of division between believers in Christ Jesus rather than a unifying element. Therefore, we must either agree on it and its purpose or agree that it can be abandoned for the sake of the unity which Jesus prayed for. If believing alone in Jesus results in salvation then why is baptism connected to forgiveness of sins Acts 2:38?"There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all" (Ephesians 4:4-6).Why does the apostle Paul include baptism along with all those ones? Can baptism have a purpose? If so, what is its purpose? There are many views of baptism and ways of being baptized. Therefore, in order to understand the one baptism, we must examine it through the Scriptures. It was considered just as important as one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, and one God and Father.In the Scriptures a progression can be seen. Hearing the Gospel, believing, repenting, and confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior. The question that must be honestly faced is baptism what unites one with Christ and is necessary.Seeking the answer to the purpose of baptism the author determined to search the Scriptures with fresh eyes having laid aside past teachings and traditions. The reader is encouraged to do the same and seek the truth.

This anthology comprises the stories of nine women who give voice to the unique challenges of infertility and pregnancy loss. It speaks directly to those who are isolated in the wilderness and see no way out. The reader will discover stories that transcend pregnancy loss and infertility; these stories are also stories of self-discovery, relationships, faith, vulnerability, courage, love, grace, and endurance. In candid prose, each woman recounts her distinct path to motherhood in her own words and style. Yet the stories weave together beautifully, culminating in a battle cry that resonates with anyone whose path to motherhood included hardship. The book offers a sense of belonging to a tribe of strong and determined women. The collection of memoirs illustrates the isolating, and often misunderstood, experience of infertility and pregnancy loss in a way that one woman's story alone cannot.
