William Clarke Quantrill was a hated name during the War between the States by the Federals of the Union Army as well as by many non-combatants. Even the high command of the Confederacy distrusted him. But there were others who were passionate sympathizers. He was both friend and mentor‚ but also manipulator and opportunist. Alistair Durant was someone who came to know him in all these guises. Durant was a young Confederate soldier‚ captured by the Yankees‚ and released when he took an oath never again to bear arms against the Union. He had a long walk back to his home in Clay County, Missouri. It is on this trek that Alistair meets another youngster‚ Beans Kimbrough. The two become companions and then friends on the way to Clay County, and it is there that Beans will introduce Alistair to a man calling himself Charley Hart. Hart has a fantastic plan—to organize a militia to fight against the Federals.

“Christ held nothing back in coming to this earth to save sinners. You’ve just read it: Of His fullness we have all received. He gave His all for me!! The question naturally arises: what have I given in return for this grace and truth? John continues by telling his readers that No one has seen God at any time, but you see, God has been revealed in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. So, if I want to see God, all I have to do is to look at Jesus Christ, His Son. In Him lies the fullness of the Godhead. Don’t get bogged down with theological nuances; just look to and at Jesus, and you will be saved.” Join author Raphael Johnny Johnston as he finds the Jesus revealed in the books of Psalms, Mark, and John. Short, easy-to-read daily devotionals help you discover Jesus as you explore selected verses from the three books of the Bible. Many of the devotions focus on the Gospel of John due to its message about the divinity and mission of Jesus. Come, examine the Biblical Jesus, and discover (or-rediscover) who He is and what He means to us. “In this Journey the elements of our daily Christian walk with God are stressed upon, as factors that enhance our relationships with God, His Son Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the relationship with our fellowmen.” ~ Ernest Nozil, Retired LCSW, CCDPD “This book is rich in Scriptures, timely and relevant in its application and the one who reads and applies may find himself falling in love with Jesus all over again.” ~ Garet Reid, Bishop “…a wonderful devotional journey that is led by Scripture using such vignettes that allows the reader to see themselves as they are before God in this sin sick world.” ~ Oliver Johnson, Minister and Correctional Chaplain

God Is a Strong Shelter: Weathering the Storms through Reading Psalms brings faith to the center stage for believers. It is a spiritual roadmap and guide that reflects the Bible for the ultimate answer and a practical, biblical, and theological resource for the church to take a deep dive into the Psalms. The primary focus is to carefully examine the psalms for hope and protection in a world of persuasive tactics of scheming. Believers are encouraged to trust God by reading what I call the Great Affirmation of faith in Ps 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." This book tells how the psalmists communicated to God amid personal encounters with enemies during turbulences of life.
Persia had Rostam. Babylonia had Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Egypt had Horus and Isis. Greece had Odysseus and Achilles. Israel had its heroes, too--Moses, David, Esther and Samson. While Israel's heroes did not wear capes or spandex, they did meet cultural needs. In times of crisis, heroes emerge to model virtues that inspire a sense of commitment and worth. Identity concerns were especially acute for a post-exilic Jewish culture. Using modern American superheroes and their stories in a cross-cultural discussion, this book presents the stories of Israelite characters as heroes filling a cultural need.

This book is an illuminating guide on critical, sensitive and salvation-based topics that will intrigue, educate, inspire and above all promote the doctrine of salvation as the focal point of the entire Bible. The book highlights the fact that humanity's greatest need has never been the food that satiates his hunger, the building that gives him shelter, the status that makes him relevant or anything that caters to his physical needs, albeit it consists of topics that discuss humanity's daily needs and how they can be acquired in line with God's word. It adequately emphasises that the salvation of souls constitutes the greatest need and should occupy the top echelon of our priorities. The scripture says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). But what happens when the word is not correctly taught, or correctly taught but not completely broken down and hence not properly understood? This book breaks down biblical lessons in a manner that will be easily understood by readers. Many have read the Bible and taught from it wrongly because they missed the central theme of the Bible which is the salvation of our souls but the words in this book have been written to help the reader avoid reading the Bible amiss and achieve this precious and priceless gift - salvation - that will make existence in this world a meaningful one. The lessons readers will learn are drawn from the context of the scriptures, the express commands of God and from the lives and experiences of several biblical characters. Readers are made to examine some biblical characters' strengths and flaws, successes and failures and extract valuable lessons that will guide them on the journey through life. While people can scan through the Bible and get a general understanding of the stories within these chapters, this book will draw the readers' attention to vital lessons they may not have noticed.
The author combines his experience as a pastor and counselor as he shares fresh perspectives on life and God that he learned from watching his sons and reflecting on his own childhood.
