Evil Fairies Love Hair

By: Mary G. Thompson

Ali and her middle school classmates are raising flocks of fairies to make their wishes come true. But growing a flock is harder than it sounds: the fairies eat only human hair, and the rules for dealing with them are confusing, misleading, and subject to change. As Ali and her friends struggle to earn their wishes, mistakes are made, spells go awry, and soon Ali is up against hundreds of two-inch-tall imps who have very big plans—to replace all the parents in town!—and the power to carry them out. Comedy and fantasy intertwine in this lively tale of intrigue, magic, and the power of hair.

Escape from the Pipe Men!

By: Mary G. Thompson

Thirteen-year-old Ryan Hawthorn has spent his life on display as a human exhibit in the multi-eyed Pipe Men’s intergalactic zoo. When his father is accidentally poisoned, it’s up to Ryan and his seven-year-old sister, Becky, to scour the universe for the antidote. Along the way, they encounter many strange creatures—from the doglike Hottini to the spindly-legged, hairy Xaxor—and learn that the Pipe Men (or, as Becky calls them, “overgrown drainpipes”) are not kindly overlords, as they had been led to believe. It's not only the humans who are planning to rebel! A wildly imaginative middle grade space-travel adventure.

Discerning Perceptive

Spiritually Revealing Insights with Sympathetic Understandings of the Sincere and Inspiring Word of God

By: Sister Glory G. Thompson

The story of my birth is similar to my life's story. I was born in the mist of a rain storm, which shouldn't be confused with the weather. I thank God for surviving me to live through many more storms even after the first. I was born into a world of hate, and the Lord has carried me through a life of envy, strife, and confusion as a child, only to strengthen me spiritually; to meekly stand bold on his words as a free spirited grown woman. My Father sent me to be born unto an extended family of 8 siblings. My oldest brother was the only sibling whose infallible love accepted me on the day of my birth. The others had to adjust to the idea of having me around. As a child, I knew and understood how the impurities of the world makes people think they are better than others. After my childhood experiences, I've grown to understand that people love to put others down to build themselves up. Putting down the dignities of others, gives them a false sense of hope of being more virtuously religious and closer to God than those whom they despise. What strengthens me to weather the storms of my life is the love of my Father who sent me unto the world for a season, and knowing he loves me in spite of my imperfections. He ordained me to share my pain with the world, not to influence the world to have worldly sympathy, but to gain the hearts of them to have empathy, to understand that their faults and failings has not the power to prevail against the will of God's love for all mankind. When the blood of Jesus was shed he died to save all without excluding any. It is by the all merciful, love and grace of God that all mankind are free spirited individuals who are taught not by man, but by the anointed. 2Cor.13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

The Word

By: Mary G. Thompson

After her parents split up, seven-year-old Lisa’s father convinces her to leave out the window in the middle of the night. After all, according to their religion, she belongs to him, and it is her duty to obey him. Ever the dutiful daughter, at least on the outside, and confused about the sinful changes in her mother (she’s cut her hair, there’s a new man around, she’s had a baby with him), Lisa complies. She spends the next nine years on the run before the police finally catch up with her father, and she is returned to a mother who is “dead” in the eyes of their religion. But her father always had a plan for when the law came and took what was his—a plan that was set in motion the moment the police arrived at their home. Now Lisa must make a decision: follow the plan and go home again with the hope that she’ll see her brother and father again, or risk everything to figure out what life could be when she makes her own choices.

Thirty-one meditations use the language of biblical symbols and the rich treasury of our classical tradition to witness to the joy, peace, and certainty of our confession.

Stairsteps to Answered Prayers

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Stairsteps to Answered Prayers

By: Bishop Steven G. Thompson

God presents Himself in the Bible as being open and interested in hearing whatever concerns His children (James 5:13; 1 Pet. 5:7). He wants to hear whatever interests us, even the smallest, most insignificant details of our lives. Consequently, we should feel free to unburden our hearts and tell God anything and everything. He is, after all, the friend who sticks closer than a brother. Why do we not feel at liberty to converse with Him just as casually and comfortably as we would with our most intimate acquaintance? To address this important phenomenon of talking to God, I felt the leading of the Lord to confront the matter of getting answers to our prayers. Unless you are a Pharisee standing in the marketplace, no one prays just to hear himself praying or to receive glory from man. No one prays not to receive a response. No one asks, not expecting to receive. Rather, prayers are prayed to be acknowledged and answered. Especially prayers without ceasing are made for responses, acknowledgment, and answers, without ceasing. Time and maturity have taught me that to pray without ceasing basically refers to recurring prayer, not nonstop talking. Thus, it is to be our way of life, as we should be continually in an attitude of prayer.

Armed Groups

The Twenty-First-Century Threat

By: Peter G. Thompson

Armed Groups is the most comprehensive text to provide a framework for categorizing the key actors that pose a threat to today’s security arena—terrorists, mercenaries, insurgents, militias, and transnational criminal organizations—and analyzing their characteristics to provide a thorough overview. Drawing on case studies, histories, and a rich, yet underexplored theoretical literature, this study presents students with the tools to methodically examine these often overlooked, but key drivers of violence in the international system. Additionally, globalization, the privatization of force, and the return of great power competition have altered the security landscape and enhanced armed group threats. These forces have also led to an increasing overlap between conflict and crime, and a growth in the state use of armed group proxies. Coming to terms with armed groups—their objectives, strategies, internal composition, and the environment that fosters them—remains a critical task for practitioners, scholars, and policy makers alike in understanding the changing nature of war. This second edition, updated throughout, includes new material on the importance of private military companies, the shift to sub-Saharan Africa as an important center of conflict, the return of great power politics, the increased use of social media and advanced technology, and the increasingly criminalized nature of armed groups. ,
