Castles and Cowsheds is a factual story set in 19th century Southwark, in the days of the Irish famine and cholera. Nearly every pub is a brothel, apart from The George Inn, which stages cock-fighting parties. Bear-baiting can be found on street corners, along with betting by costermongers. The characters range from aristocrats to starving immigrants. Father Thomas Doyle tours the world to raise money in order to build St George’s Cathedral, south of the stinking silent river – the Thames. He was brave enough to ride on a death cart with 300 cholera-stricken cadavers. Meanwhile, a baby is born to a naked woman on the bare, worm-eaten floorboards of the broken-down hotel where the Kelly family live. Its mother, Maria, has already given birth to three children: Daniel, Felix and Rosa. As the children grow up, Rosa pretends to be Alice in Wonderland, falling down a rabbit hole. Felix Kelly becomes a call boy at the South London Palace of Varieties in Elephant and Castle. Still only ten years old, the talented lad also works as a Song and Dance boy from 7pm to midnight in the London parks. A dirty old Frenchman known locally as ‘le Vicomte de Southwark’ owns a house near The George Inn, where a little boy known as ‘Goldilocks’ joins him later. Like Byron, le Vicomte is “mad, bad and dangerous to know”. The Ohara family has money and their own villa on Bandyleg Walk. The father is a widower; a wharfinger. The two families intermarry. Set in the days of Disraeli, Gladstone and the Crimean War, Castles and Cowsheds will appeal to fans of Victorian history and family sagas.
Dr. Faith on Faith: The Realities is an inspirational read on the power and the impact of faith in the lives of everyday people and beyond. The focus is how we interact with ourselves during our "self-to-self" and our "self-to-others" life moments. The human experiences shared are compelling but still relatable and adaptable for most. The internal, invisible, and foundational faith we inherently possess ignites many psychological and physiological sentiments in us as we proceed to formulate various aspects of our global society here on earth. Numerous challenges of the social, political, economical, and emotional strata perpetuate reactions warranting expressed behaviors of love, devastation, hatred, community, struggle, apathy, empathy, sympathy, tolerance, and indulgence. The human race's prospective on faith's potency and significance in life can undoubtedly influence and or deter one's direction or chosen path of action. Your ideologies, trust, belief, conviction, and confidence serve as the fundamental pillars of your faith indoctrination. Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Jehovah, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Islam, the above mentioned and numerous other communities, are true believers in the Higher Power, and the generational doctrines are deeply rooted in the faith practices. Phenomenal acts of faith are recorded in history from BC to AD. Miracles and inexplicable acts that have changed the world are still occurring. Most kingdoms, countries, and continents have been affected and effected by the power and determination of faith warriors and the power of the Almighty. Men, women, boys, and girls around the world are influenced by generational faith practices, religious doctrines, and human interactions. This account of faith power is written to uphold and promote the undeniable strength, capacity, fortitude, sanctity, and gratifying spirituality that your faith provides in each and every aspect of your life. Faith rules!

Heir Force is a Bible curriculum that teaches that God the Father sent his only Son, Jesus, to earth to pay a debt we couldnt pay through his life, death, and resurrection. God the Father appointed Jesus to be heir of all things and seated him at his right hand. All who believe what Jesus did for us by dying in our place and confess their sins to him and ask for his forgiveness are made joint-heirs with Jesus. God has given us the power to become the sons of God! Along lifes journey, we will, as believers, be faced with many joys and trials. Heir Force is analogous with living life before the Lord like we are in basic training or in boot camp. God is our commanding officer. Jesus is the perfect soldier. The Holy Spirit lives in us. The Bible is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. We are to love the Lord with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. Ephesians 6:1013 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. The lessons of this curriculum will direct our hearts and minds to the precepts and principles that God teaches through the Bible.
From the wheat fields and bargain stores of rural Manitoba, Ben and Helen Eidse were the first missionaries sent overseas by their conference. On the African savannah they partnered with the Chokwe-Lunda who taught them language, culture and proverbs, which Ben used to explain salvation. Helen delivered the leprosy cure, mothered orphans, cared for the excluded, sick and poor. Their partners helped establish 80 churches, translate the Bible and run 24 clinics. They deepened their faith in spiritual battle against sorcery and corruption. The Eidses sought to empower the powerless and raise a family despite revolution, disease and disability. Back in Canada, Helen took in the homeless and Ben became president of Steinbach Bible College. As first chancellor, he continues a counseling, healing prayer ministry.
This Course examines closely the process through which the soul becomes defiled, thereby hindering the saints and those who serve the purposes of God on the front lines of the fight for Truth. This is an important school for leaders and intercessors on the front lines of the battle to enforce God's will and His purposes in this hour, as it brings an understanding of the forces occupying the spiritual realms, and their tactics affecting our lives and our ministry to the Lord. But most importantly, this School brings revelation and understanding of our authority and application of our victory won in Christ in His triumph at the Cross. The Father will have a spiritually clean House for His Son to return to! The Father makes His habitation in only what has been blueprinted in Christ, within the boundaries of His Life, as Christ is the Word of God! Jesus Christ is the Plumb Line of the House of God! In this course, we examine the Journey on the ascent to union with the Mind of Christ and Heart of Christ, where we are conformed to His image and become the Bride prepared for Him in Glory!
