Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other piece of ancient Near Eastern literature that has survived the ravages of time compares favorably with the book of Genesis. Its theological perspectives and historical profiles of early man are unique. It is important not because it is oldother collections antedate it by many years-but because it completely transcends the primitive mythology of the ancient world. Reading and studying Genesis are not burdensome tasks. Its themes are varied and its personal portraits unparalleled. It immediately tackles on of man's most basic questions: What is the origin of all things? Its answer is as credible as it is captivating. From the origin of man the writer shifts attention to the fall of man and the human dilemma. The problem of evil is rarely discussed in such a manner by other ancient writers. From this point the writer concentrates on the spiritual, moral, and practical consequences of sin. Great catastrophes, such as the flood and the confusion of tongues at Babel, demonstrate God's response to human rebellion. Where in the annals of history can we find more imaginative and frank portraits than those of Abraham and his descendants? Abraham's moments of great triumph and ecstasy are not reported to the exclusion of his hours of humility and disgrace; this balanced description is quite distinct from the idealism of ancient Near Eastern historiography. The detailed descriptions of Abraham's failures, therefore, constitute a remarkable proof for the inspiration of this book. The sensitive reader cannot help but be struck by this book's great contrasting emphases: on one hand majestic, cosmological truth; on the other hand personal, intimate, and individualistic narratives of a man, a wife, and their family. While theological abstractions are common, they do not exclude personal warmth and historical objectivity. There are also great contrasts between personalities; the most significant is between God and Satan, and based on this contrast is the one between good and evil and their practical effects. The book of Genesis, therefore, is of utmost value to the scientist, the historian, and the theologian: to the scientist for its cosmology, to the historian for its early history of Israel, and to the theologian for its basic philosophical implications. But one must approach the book properly; only then can one hope to understand it, not to mention the rest of the Bible and Jesus Himself . Jesus told his hostile contemporaries that "had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" (John 5:46,47)

Book excerpt: One of the worst things a parent can hear their teen say is, "Judge, I am a heroin addict". Prison to Paradise is a memoir that takes the reader on a mother's raw and emotional journey from living a seemingly normal life in the suburbs to visiting her son in a maximum-security prison. So many families feel that drug addiction and the problems that ensue are only the problems of other people. Addiction is not discriminatory to demographics or socioecomic status. Prison to Paradise gives you an insight to how a bright young man, with an optimistic future, traded it all for a drug he would have "given his right arm for". Her son traded freedom for prison after receiving a very lengthy sentence for crimes he committed to feed his addiction. Even though they had made plans for his future free of heroin and prison bars; after five years, her son committed suicide, alone, in a prison cell. The story is an ugly story of the realities of addiction, shame, and poor choices, threaded with faith, forgiveness and ultimately redemption. There is no guidebook for parents fighting for their children battling with addiction. The purpose of this book is to share hope in a seemingly hopeless situation, even if things do not turn out like you had planned.

Gilmo, a North Korean national who interprets the world through numbers, formulas, and mathematical theories, is arrested on the spot. Angela, a CIA operative, is assigned to gain his trust and access his unique thought-process. The enigmatic Gilmo used to have a quiet life back in Pyongyang. But when his father, a preeminent doctor is discovered to be a secret Christian, he is subsequently incarcerated along with Gilmo, in a political prison overseen by a harsh, cruel warden. There, Gilmo meets the spirited Yeong-ae, who becomes his only friend. When Yeong-ae manages to escape, Gilmo flees to track her down.

Under the surface of this beautiful island paradise, poised between India and Africa, there is unease, and Lucy cannot help but feel discomfited by the restrictions she sees around her, and by the strangely attractive Don Lambodar, a young translator from Ceylon. It is 1825: the age of slavery is coming to its messy end, and word is lapping against the shores of the island of a charismatic new Indian leader who will shine the light of liberty. For Lucy, for Don, for everyone on the island, a devastating storm is coming...

Jeremy Flynn is the newest inmate of John Cunningham Penitentiary, and he couldn't be happier. After all, he's young, very sexually curious, and at the front end of a two-three year prison sentence, so spending that time in the first facility exclusively for LGBTQ+ seems like the potential to fulfill all his darkest fantasies, especially if the rumors are anything close to the truth. But not everything is what it seems in this paradise prison. Beneath the lax rules, cutting-edge facility, and wild gay sex, Jeremy learns the hard way that he's still in prison, and every prison has its rules, dangers, and politics.

I was all of the hideous and ugly realities of the world packaged into one broken human being. He came to kill me. That was his business. Death. He ripped me out of my natural environment, the prison I'd created, and locked me away with all of his beautiful dead things. I hated him. I still hate him. But if I was given the choice and the ability to leave this cage, come back to life, I'd stay dead. In all of my hideous splendor. Because my murderer can only possess dead things. And I can only be possessed by someone more broken and ugly than me.

Book excerpt: This is a story of the power of a prisoner's dream and the struggle of a family looking for answers in an alien environment. It is the saga of a boy growing up as one of the few whites on a tropical paradise with a life full of adventure, humor, and irreplaceable memories. Prison To Paradise is a tale that spans three generations of a tumultuous family history. Juan Sibul is a Russian revolutionary who is imprisoned for his writings, and after an extraordinary escape, he gets to America where, with the help of notables like Mark Twain, he is influential in changing the course of Russian history. His son Leo is born in New York and matures into a brilliant entrepreneur. He marries an innocent college graduate, and in his search for a better lifestyle, they travel to an unknown Caribbean island where they struggle with making a life for the family. They have three children, and their youngest is Peter, who quickly learns to cope with his wild surroundings, and who now relates his story of a very unique childhood.
