Ever Ready
In sixteenth century Scotland, a storm is on the horizon. Christians are being hunted and burned for standing against the Romish Church, who refuses to allow them to read William Tyndale's translation of the New Testament.

With King James V on the throne and Archbishop David Beaton seeking anyone who resists the papal authority of the Romish Church, the Reformation Rider finds himself constantly running-whether to save fellow believers or to escape the royal guard. But as pressure to bow to the pope rises, will the Carmichael clan be destroyed forever? Or will the Reformation everyone longs for sweep throughout the land, bringing the Scottish people to their knees?

As an adult who loves children's books, I really enjoyed it!JohannaI love that the book's plot is simple and easy for children to follow and yet there are so many layers of Spiritual depths you can dig into. There are Scriptures that are highlighted in the book that you can help your child memorize. It also leads into a natural conversation about salvation and accepting Jesus' sacrifice for us to pay for our sins. It explains our own brokenness and how we cannot fix ourselves but only God can make us new. The illustrations are beautiful. My 3yo loved the book, understood the sins highlighted as well as ways to reconcile that sin through Jesus.BethWhat a wonderful book for children to read and share with their parents! This book is written in a way that children can understand what sin is and how important it is to turn to Jesus. The illustrations beautifully show the story to help younger kids to understand. I highly recommend this book!Amy

The Timothy Diary
Based on the book of Acts this is the story of the Apostle Paul's third journey. Told through the eyes of Paul's companion Timothy this is the tale of the journey to Ephesus and Paul's time in the city.

In those letters we see more of teh life of a church in the meetings of the first century, meetings that look completely like our own.
Encountering Differences in Antioch of Syria
"Encountering Differences in Antioch of Syria" is the seventh book of "The New Way Series." It is based on the first century manuscript "Acts of the Apostles" written by Luke. We have seen how the New Way might have moved from Jerusalem to both villages and large cities in Galilee, but Luke records that it also began to impact the surrounding countries - countries that had once been considered archenemies of Israel. The city of Antioch was established by Alexander the Great, but when the Romans took control, they desired to make it the capital city of the region. They provided incentives of property, jobs, housing, and religious freedom. As a result, Antioch soon became the third largest city of the Roman Empire and was filled with people from many different nations. Many followers of Jesus and New Way groups relocated to Antioch. They encountered people from all over the known world, and specifically Pharisees from Jerusalem who were intent on destroying the New Way. Once again, I have chosen to imagine what it must have been like for some of the characters who were introduced in Book #1 of the New Way Series to become adults and relocate to Antioch of Syria. They expected to be in the minority. They were prepared to face the misunderstanding of other religions. But they were surprised to discover that some of the hardest battles were keeping the peace with fellow followers. They had to deal with questions, conflicts, and disagreements as the New Way was being forged and strengthened by its battles. These young adults had to determine what they believed, and what they were willing to sacrifice in order to follow those beliefs. What would they give up in order to be obedient to Jehovah? Watch as these young friends of Jesus became adults in a strange land, far from home. And look forward to the final New Way Series Book #8, "Telling the World from Antioch of Syria," where they begin to face the high price of spreading the New Way deeper and deeper into the uttermost parts of the world.
Telling the World from Antioch of Syria
"Telling the World from Antioch of Syria" is the final book of the New Way Series. Once again, I have chosen to develop the stories and characters introduced in the previous book. All of the books in this series have been based on the first century manuscript "Acts of the Apostles" written by Luke. Luke records that the New Way, which started in Jerusalem, moved through Israel and then to every nation in the known world. Luke ends his manuscript with a description of the New Way being taken to the city of Rome itself. Despite the conflicts and controversies that threaten to tear families, groups, and New Way worship gatherings apart, we see the New Way being spread farther and farther from Jerusalem. Some of those who feel called to foreign lands are well equipped and well financed, and only face the physical hazards of the journey. Others are young, inexperienced, and penniless. Yet surely and steadily the New Way spreads and takes root all around the Great Sea. Antioch becomes a launching pad and a headquarters for these New Way followers. Watch as the children who walked and talked with Jesus, introduced at the beginning of the series, continue their journeys by sending their own children and grandchildren into the great unknown. Imagine the sacrifices made to spread the New Way to those around them, near and far.

Buying The Farm
When Barrett Webb was asked if he would consider buying the Anderson farm, he assumed it was because Webb Enterprises was recognized as one of the largest purchasers of neglected ranches and farms around, with a commitment to restoring them back to full productivity, either reselling them, or expanding their cattle business and add to their holdings.He thought it was business as usual, although the banker had advised him that the woman being forced to sell was recently widowed and that her late husband had been hiding the bills from her and drinking up any money he could get his hands on, forcing her to have to lose the farm and her home in order to settle their overwhelming indebtedness.It wasn't a story he'd never heard some version of before, but when he drove out to view the farm and concluded that the girl in the chicken pen was more than likely the daughter of Mrs. Anderson, he was stunned to learn, as she washed herself off with the garden hose, then stepped out to approach him, that she was a woman, not a girl, and that even with wet, muddy jeans and streaks of grease on her face, Mrs. Anderson was absolutely the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.Barrett had been told that once the farm was sold, the woman with no family or close friends would be homeless but he was prepared to offer her a solution.

It's learning to be a critical and logical thinker on the childhood journey of ignorance to the adulthood of wisdom.There is only one road from boys to men; nevertheless, there are a plethora of peripheral distractions that can cause one to lose purpose and focus.

The literary style of this work is highly gratifying. The reader (s) does not have to dig through a lot of superfluous verbiage to get to the thought.
