In this riveting third installment of the epic adventure of the Quest of the Staff and the Sword Saga, Luke has destroyed his nemesis, the hooded man. Luke tightens his grip on his kingdom, while a division threatens to tear at the fabric of hope in Quoin Ataraxis. Millions of half-dead soldiers, whom Luke raised from the dead, ensure that Luke’s power will grow, with seemingly no one to stop him. Luke entices his people to worship, celebrate, and serve him. But just as Luke’s power seems unstoppable, a mysterious stranger steps out of the shadows, confounding Luke’s plans. With his frustration growing, Luke journeys to search out allies in his battle against enemies of his kingdom. Luke retrieves thousands of scrolls and tablets, hidden in an ancient tower. These scrolls reveal dark secrets forgotten long ago. His castle rests upon the richest source of darkness, from which the darkest of weapons are forged. The scrolls reveal designs to build these dark weapons. With the help of these scrolls, Luke is able to summon warriors out of long-forgotten dark chasms, achieve powers of sorcery the world has never known, and establish his throne as Dark Lord in The Dark Kingdom.
In this compelling second installment of the Quest of the Staff and the Sword saga, John’s quest continues as he searches for understanding of his purpose. John used Luke’s confidence in his power to build the castle on Olivet. Although Luke’s control was tenuous, with control of the world’s media, he was able to convince the world that they were in danger from Luke’s nemesis, known only as “the hooded man.” The hooded man has information that can destroy Luke. Luke allowed the hooded man to take control of the castle, knowing he had the full power of the world’s military at his disposal. Luke will attempt to use this power not only to destroy the hooded man, but also to immobilize the people of the world with chains of control. Luke is prepared to wreak havoc on the world if he must, in order to retain his power. If Luke goes to extremes, a terrible change will overtake the world—a change that could return the world to the Dark Ages. John must protect the Jedidiah family, along with their friends—and he must inspire their trust to join him on his quest. As Luke’s darkness grows in him and the fate of the world trembles in the balance, John must establish the foundation of peace, save those who wish to be saved, and assure those around him that all will be well in Quoin Ataraxis

Being with someone you don't even know is a lot harder than expected. Can Aliyah cope in a marriage, when her life's only just begun? "It was like he was reading out instructions for me. Ones I had no choice but to follow. I felt hollow as I watched. What was he doing? Why?" Coming home from college one day and Aliyah finds that her life is about to change forever. And she doesn't have a clue why. Forced into a marriage she had no idea about and shipped off to another country, she is about to lose everything. Her dreams. Her friends. Her home. As she embarks on the new journey of her life, tackling all the hurdles that come her way, is there a greater happiness waiting for her on the horizon? And will the secrets that she unravels change her more than even she knows?
Using the enigmatic theological expression of P. T. Forsyth, TK Dunn explores how a holistic and comprehensive interpretation of the threefold office of Christ undermines three critical areas of dispensational theology: the literal hermeneutic, disdain for the church catholic, and a convoluted interpretation of the end times focused on ethnic, corporate Israel. Interacting with liberalism as Forsyth’s foil, and using the exegetical analysis of Scripture by G. E. Ladd, Dunn argues that the kingdom of God is not the human-driven utopia dreamed of by liberal scholars nor a dystopic, disconnected future realm exclusively for ethnic, corporate Israel; rather, the kingdom must be understood as the dominion of Christ’s reign over a redeemed people who order their lives according to his gospel. Access to the kingdom, therefore, is open to all who are redeemed by the priestly work of Christ, submit to the king’s constitution, and thereby live according to the prophetic proclamations of kingdom life.
This book presents the development of a theological reading strategy in conversation with contemporary hermeneutical theories. Using that as a model, Gen 1-11 is read as a unified text refracted through the prism of textuality from a canonical approach.
The students of Randolph High are on a Halloween night excursion to All Hallows, a small town in the middle of nowhere, as part of their studies. As they learn the history of the town they find out someone is making that history come to life. As in a real-life headless horseman who may or may not be Jebadiah Jacobus Hallows, the town’s forefather and creator, who comes bolting down the road on his jet black, smoke snorting, red-eye-flaring steed, and holding a head in his hand which may or may not be his own. And that’s not the only thing that frightens the students. A satanic symbol keeps popping up everywhere, there’s a ghoulishly twisted tree with a dead man hanging from it, and a curse that has the whole town under its spell. Can the teens figure out who’s reliving the three-hundred-year-old curse and break it before anything else happens? Like their untimely deaths?
