Elders scramble to maintain their fragile hold of power over the lowlanders while the residents of the Eagles' Nest formulate their own plans.

Together with the others there they must step up to face their own fears. Lives are at risk and the hope of freedom is dependent upon their success. As families flee their villages in search of an escape, rescuers from both the Eagles' Nest and some residents of the lowlands are called upon for assistance. The dangerous plans of this new leader must be stopped and the victims of this conspiracy rescued. Will their efforts be enough to halt the planned annihilation of villages and any "unnecessary" residents of Kumani?

We meet Onya Townsend, a young, faithful disciple of the Lord standing on the threshold of making a judgement she never thought she would have to make.  Onya completed phase two of her three-part life plan to become a youth pastor of her church.

How harmful could yoga be for children; a form of innocent exercise, right? For author Jennifer Sedlock, and other parents whose children were in Encinitas School District in California, deceptions in yoga were beyond physical and into spiritual. Her new book, The Yoga Crisis in America, highlights before, during and after the trial against the EUSD on allowing yoga in public schools. Part of the concerned parents group at school, Jennifer was shocked to learn the damaging effects to come with yoga replacing PE: less physical activity, Hindu religious exercises and even inappropriate exercises for young children. Jennifer chronicles the trial events through trial transcripts, while also sharing the personal side of the trial in parents enduring judgment from the Jois Yoga program with EUSD, proyoga activists and even parents who didn't see the deceptions of yoga. It all accumulates to one question: is yoga just exercise or pagan worship?

Is God for real? Is there a God? If so, what is God like?What is God's nature and character? Is God a spiritual being?Is God religious? Is there a Heaven and Hell?Does God care about you and the human race? Today, over 40% of Gen Y and Z youth claim they have no particular faith and classify themselves on surveys as religious "nones." Millennials are questioning God, creationism, spirituality, eternal life and spiritual and temporal relationships more than ever. Their inquiry into God, the purpose of this life and the reasons we exist are sincere. They are searching in earnest for honest answers. Parents, spiritual leaders, pastors, teachers and authors are now tasked to answer these questions in an honest and straight forward manner. This book addresses the lead six questions raised by our younger generations: 1) I question much of religious teaching and I just don't believe in God, 2) There is no scientific, or other evidence of God, 3) Science, common sense and reason give me all the answers and are incompatible with religion, 4) I can learn all I need to know about God and creation on my own without religion, and 5) I don't like formalized and hierarchical religion and religious leaders, and 6) Religion is not relevant to my life. In the end, I am hopeful that our youth will be open to the Christian faith as their spiritual home. God is waiting for you!

When you suddenly lose a loved one, it can tear at the ragged edges of your faith. Here, when it is finally about to rip, is where you must make a decision: give up on God or cling to Him and allow yourself to heal through faith. Sandra Abrahamson found herself thrown headlong into this predicament. Her one and only son Chris passed away in a fatal car accident, and within seven years of her son's death, her husband passed away to whom she was married fifty-seven years.

Within its pages, you will find testimony on the love the Lord has for us.

We live in the age of information, as some say, and, perhaps that is true. The problem with much of this "information" is that it is framed in the terms of suffocating ideologies. The larger conclusions have already been drawn by others on all sorts of things like climate change, life origins, justice ideas, education, democracy, and many others so that one is inevitably led to the desired conclusions even if they fly in the face of everything you have learned about yourself and the world you want to live in. My purpose in writing this collection of essays was not so much to convert people to a particular way of thinking, but to motivate the reader to embark upon his own quest to become a clear-eyed seeker of wisdom and truth. This process produces quiet contemplation and study rather than anger and controversy. Something is true about everything. Discovering what that is will change your life and open up opportunities that you never knew existed.

"Anthony and another buddy of ours, Brett, set up a deal that would eclipse any other we had ever done. I joined the two of them for a dinner meeting at the Texas Tumbleweed. The clients were two club owners from San Antonio. They wanted to purchase five kilos of blow. At that point, I could take a steel butter knife in my hands and break it in half. Not bend it back and forth until it broke, but snap it in half. I was the insurance, if you will, that no one was going to mess with Anthony or Brett. This was a big deal that involved serious cash, cash that not just anyone carries around. Being that we were dealing with over $80,000.00 in product, we needed to know that they were serious and not undercovers or something. Knowing that we needed to see the goods, one of the guys slid across the table a newspaper folded up in the shape of a square. Inside was tens of thousands of dollars of cash, all the proof we needed that they were legit. We confirmed with our Colombian contact that indeed the five kilos were available and arranged for the deal to go down at a Chili's restaurant off of Fountain View Drive in Houston."

When you begin to view your marriage as a sacred covenant in the eyes of the Father, you can take hold of all that He has destined for your relationship. In this masterful work of biblical insight, Covenants: The Parallels Between the Shabbat and a Covenant Marriage?, author Dr. W Denise Jackson explores the Creator's plan for marriage and the aspects of His Covenant with His people that are reflected in the union between a man and a woman. By taking a deeper look at the Shabbat, or Sabbath--a day of rest dedicated to the Father and a sign of His Covenant--you can understand the heart of the Father, and learn how to access His unconditional love in your own relationship with your spouse. Jackson's book will teach you how to lay a scriptural foundation for your relationship that will transform your marriage into a likeness of the Shabbat as you observe the holiness of the Covenant--both the Father's Covenant through His Son and the Covenant He has established between you and your spouse. Through her detailed look at biblical texts and Hebrew terminology, Jackson unpacks the nature of Yeshua HaMashiach, or Jesus the Messiah, who models the essential components of marriage as the Bridegroom. As the head of the Body, He has set the standard for husbands to lead their wives, and as the Son submitted to His Father in obedience, He offers wives the perfect illustration of their role to their husbands. With her profound revelations about an honorable marriage, Jackson's words will inspire you to elevate the giftedness of your covenant marriage and redirect the stability of your marriage back to the Father for His glory. Discover His will for your married life as you recognize His purpose for His Covenant, as well as the individual roles He has given both husbands and wives. If you are interested in following the Father's divine plan for your marriage or are in a season of waiting for your spouse, this book will serve as your guide to walking into your biblically-based destiny as a married believer.

Unfortunately, the past catches up to April and forces to face her enemies to reclaim her inheritance, while encouraging both to open their hearts to love.

It has been said that "The object of preaching is, constantly to remind mankind of what mankind is constantly forgetting...." * Pastor Lance D. Sparks has brought together reminders of God's love for us in these eleven written messages taken from sermons he has preached at Christ Community Church during the last twenty-five years of Resurrection and Christmas seasons. This is his second collection of seasonal messages produced in book form. While each message stands on its own, they build on each other to give believers a rich desire to Commemorate the Christ. *Sydney Smith, p. 476.
