America had been attacked and ravaged over three nights by an elite force of Al-Qaeda guerilla teams, but thanks to FBI special agent Philip Calvert and his ad hoc team of agents, cops, and Marine sharpshooters, that assault had been blunted, and many of the attackers killed or captured. Still Al-Qaeda had accomplished much, for the assault had terrified Americans from the smallest hamlets to the largest cities. And so successful had the assault been, that the evil mastermind behind it is now determined to repeat it again and again and again until America bows and submits to Islam and the rule of the supreme Iranian Ayatollah. Unfortunately for this evil genius and his allies, seemingly disgraced agent Philip Calvert is actually still on the job. And so is his team, now no longer an ad hoc group, but America's premiere anti-terrorist task force - Task Force AT. And its job isn't simply to counter terrorists and arrest them, but to eliminate them with prejudice
It would seem an odd way to approach the saga of creation. But history is alive and so is our unlikely hero, John O'Connell. A junior executive seeking his roots in Northern Ireland, Jack finds that even a good deed can be deadly. Now merely deceased, Jack learns the hard way that death isn't the end. Thus begins the tale of an average man, murdered only to awaken between heaven and earth. Aided by an old sage, first mistaken for a madman, Jack finds roots he never imagined and the terrors of being caught-up in the war between Good and Evil. Narrating the sage, Jack's mentor enlists everyone who can help, from warrior angels and cherubs, to ex-slaves, atomic scientists, and even a resurrected Atlantean. Yet everytime Jack tries to grasp this new 'life', another twist throws him for a loop. How can a mortal (especially a dead one) cope with natural mysteries, while living in an unnaturally mysterious place where telepathy and teleportation are normal, and even thoughts can become real? That's Jack's challenge, if he's up to it and if he's willing to pay the price, which is terrifyingly high indeed.
With a history that of open marriages, staggering divorce rates, single parent homes, shacking up with significant others and living together, and often troubled blended families, it seems that the option of a happy, life-long marriage no longer exists in todays secularized, feminized world of radical individualism. Yet hidden under this shabby veneer, most persons still long for something, still desire real meaning, still feel the pull towards permanence - a romantic ideal to be completed. It just wont go away. This ideal - real marriage - survives as a dream, though this joyful state cannot be found in any of the alternatives available from a secular world thats devoid of absolutes and allows any unhappy permutation. Is there any hope? There is! But it doesnt lie in constantly trying to redefine marriage (and consistently failing to make anyones life better). It lies in returning to what Sacred Marriage was always meant to be - a sacrament of Life. That, however, can only be found if we return to being what we ourselves were always meant to be: spiritual beings that are larger than the material world and actually grasp what it means to love - and risk loving. Want to know how? Look inside.
It all began with Abraham, and with his son Isaac and his older brother Ishmael. The question in dispute today is where it all ends or should end. Does history lead us to a particular descendent of Ishmael, Mohammed of Mecca and the religion he founded? Or does it lead instead to a descendent of Isaac, Jesus of Nazareth and a competing religion Christianity? Is there any hope of discovering which of the alternatives is the true path that we should embrace and follow? There is! For the Holy Book of one religion sets out a test consistency and then fails to pass it in a spectacular fashion. The Scriptures of the other religion, however, sets out a different test meeting prophecy and then stuns us by flawlessly passing not only it, but other books test as well. Step inside this short manuscript and we will journey through history, examining the lives of Abraham, Mohammed, and Jesus, and the religion each was intimately associated with. As we do so, we will make some amazing discoveries that may perhaps change forever your ideas about who Jesus and Mohammed were and what Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all about.
Al-Qaeda and its allies scored two magnificent victories. The first when they took down the WTC towers in New York and the second when they suckered the US into a war in Iraq. Unfortunately for them, the US went from dismay and shock to shock and awe, beating the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, and then Sadam Hussein into the ground in record time. Now the survivors need a way to seize victory from the jaws of defeat and an evil mastermind in Iran is sure he has found the way to do so. Suddenly one morning as America wakes, it finds rural hamlets and small towns have been ravaged during the night and hundreds murdered in their own homes. All by terrorists who have disappeared into the shadows before sunrise. Is there any hope to stop this assault? Of course there is, for there is always FBI special agent Philip Calvert, who is easily bored and quite unable to handle the most routine assignments. When it comes to high-pressure crises where everything is on the line, however, he is unique. And now he and an ad hoc team of agents, cops, and Marine sharpshooters he puts together are on the job.
