The Haters of Reality
The Haters of RealityBy: Eric BeckWith an almost ontological preoccupation with religion (among other things), one that deals with why we need a God in a world where we still need jobs but, at the same time, vacillating between the pious acceptance of this life and one where nothing is taken seriously, the stories in The Haters of Reality are meant to be humorous. They are meant to ultimately relate the fact that we can love Christ and even reality (despite the title, or perhaps because of it) and still be metaphysically promiscuous. The author hopes readers will enjoy the ride, and perhaps get some relief from their workaday life.About the AuthorEric Beck is a big film buff and a lover of novels of all kinds. He likes to produce short narrative videos. Churchgoing is important to him, and baseball watching is something he does an awful lot of. Beck enjoys going to Target Field in Minneapolis to see the Twins. He has three siblings.

Through the Eyes of a Prisoner
Paul was an unlikely candidate to become the apostle to the Gentiles ... until the day he unexpectedly encountered Jesus. You are probably familiar with that part of his story, and perhaps much of what transpired in his life after that. But two-thirds of his life story is not recorded in detail, though Paul gives us some hints in his letters. Through this fictional novel, we'll explore how God may have used those unrecorded portions of his life to prepare him for the mission that was being set before him. We'll follow him from his early years in Tarsus through his final days in Rome. Throughout those years, Paul spent more time in a prison cell than we are ever told. It was a place where God continued to work in and through him. The mission never stopped because he was in prison; it simply took on a different form. Allow yourself to be challenged as you experience a story of God's mission - through the eyes of a prisoner who ran the race that was put before him - and the faithfulness of God through it all.

Dusk Lane
Walk the most dangerous path in Balia... Meandering around a volcanic ridge, through jungle lowlands, and over salt flats, Dusk Lane is a route only the most desperate travelers find, and without strong guides nobody can survive the path through the beautiful and dangerous interior of Chimelu. Rika is one such guide, but this group of travelers might prove to be more than he can handle, for each has suffered great loss. Young Aaden has lost his music; beautiful Suri has lost her voice; bold Annora has lost her future, and all three hope something on the path can restore them. Rika finds he has lost his detachment, and as he sinks more deeply into the lives of his travelers, he realizes this trek down the Lane may change his entire life. Of course, they're traveling in the rainy season when the path is most dangerous, so there's a good chance they won't survive to change at all. Enter Balia, a world not so different from our own. Explore lush landscapes and rich cultures as Balia's creator, TrueGod, moves through many times and places to find lost and broken people to call his own. Fantasy with a Christian worldview.

Overwhelming Evidence
David Mercer thought his dreams had been answered when a beautiful, sexy, woman consented to be his wife. Little did he know he was only a pawn in a devious plan to get his money. He turned to alcohol to ease his pain and soon after a drunken fight with His ex-wife's new lover, the lover and David's ex-wife were found stabbed to death with blood on David's shirt. This complex case fell to the feet of Christian investigator, Bill Blackbern, who happened to be married to David's first cousin, Carol. In this fourth of the series "Warriors for Christ", the author demonstrates again that no problem is too big for the awesome God we have. As the series takes another step in the direction of forming the "Warriors for Christ", the threads that hold this series together such as complex human emotions, love, intrigue, family, and true happiness being dependent on our close walk with God, are evident.
Eric Em
Eric Stone is a young man with a bad reputation. When he is caught doing exactly what is expected of someone like him, most people would write him off, instead Craig Matherson offers him a hand up. Trusting Craig also means trusting in God, who Eric, simply put, doesn't believe in. This hand-up seems like a great deal but it's also not a free ride. It will take a lot of work, personal changes and it comes with a lot of things Eric has to walk away from. Samantha is one of those things. Does Eric have it in him to walk away from the love of his life for the potential of something better? Is there someone out there that would be better suited for Eric along this fresh path? What choices will Eric make and where will they lead him?
