The Messiah of Shangri-La
After a year traveling around Asia, American author Joshua Parousios just wants to find a mountain cottage where he can write a novel about the Messiah. In Kathmandu he meets Maria, a bold Polish woman who attracts and repels him, and together they stay with a Bhutia family in Sosing, a picturesque Himalayan village in the Indian state of Sikkim. With a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and golden Buddhist temples in every direction, Sosing seems like a real-life Shangri-La. But Sikkim is known for human rights abuse, and Joshua learns that Indian soldiers are committing ethnic cleansing against the indigenous Lepcha people, pagans who missionaries have converted to Christianity. Struggling with writer's block and his passion for Maria, plagued by Dionysian dreams and enchanted by a Lepcha woman he glimpses in the forest, Joshua has increasingly bizarre experiences: time slows down, the dead appear as living, and a dense black fog just won't lift. As myth mixes with reality, a series of surreal events funnel to a wild, bacchanal finale. A deep physical and spiritual journey into the Himalayas, The Messiah of Shangri-La is a uniquely profound exploration of the mythologies that lie at the heart of the human experience.

Calvin Wideman, a former evangelical Christian, shed the religious beliefs his parents taught him but not his faith in seeking truth, love, and a higher purpose. His coming-of-age story begins the weekend before Christmas 1974. Flying back to Chicago, he feels homesick for Mexico, the country he spent his savings wandering as a gringo hippie peasant. His best friend Josh meets him at O'Hare in the wee hours of Sunday morning, apparently to gloat that Cal will finally have to deal with so-called real life. Josh urges him to phone his mom who has been pestering with calls about some "urgent family matter."Cal's parents inform him that his younger sister Rachel has joined a cult. He suspects they're overreacting but agrees to act as their emissary and the next day visits the alleged commune in an ultra-rich suburb. He receives a polite welcome and learns more than he ever wanted to about the group's radical reinterpretation of the Greek New Testament. On Christmas Eve, Cal finds himself playing devil's advocate to defend Rachel's new beliefs to his parents. Their militant opposition mystifies him because it blatantly contradicts precepts that are fundamental to their Reformed theology. The drama that ensues forces Cal to relive the trauma of losing his religion and, at the same time, to navigate the inevitable tensions between faith and reason, freedom and family, memory and conscience, the world as we find it and the world as we want it to be.

Varrick's Disturbances
Every so often a story comes along that can transport, entertain, and teach lessons about life, courage, and overcoming our fears and demons.VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES is such a story, a novel about a boy and his anxieties, obstacles, passions, and faith. Anyone who's ever been pushed down by life's tragedies and cried out for help will find a kindred spirit in the boy whose name bears the title of this stirring tale.By age eleven, Varrick O'Connell had already lost several things in his life, the most important of which was his father two and a half years before. Since that tragedy, this sensitive and insightful boy has lost his zeal, confidence, and courage to fight life's battles. First, three bullies (all brothers) terrorize him at seemingly every turn. An older sibling taunts him mercilessly. And, during the Little League season of 1965, Varrick actually begins to lose his passion for baseball because of his fear of a ball in the man-sized hands of the most dominating pitcher he's ever faced - the six-foot, two-inch tall southpaw pitcher named Ross Ramsey, referred to by Varrick and his close buddy Jack as "Big R."Set in a small Mojave Desert town during the summer of 1965, VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES deals with a wide variety of topics and emotions: the loss of loved ones, racial strife (both in the town of Yuccaville, California, and in Watts during the riots), the well-meaning but potentially dangerous intervention of mental health professionals, the real or imagined appearance of a guardian angel, and - most importantly - the search for ultimate truth, protection, personal courage, and faith in a power greater than us all."VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES has depth and substance. Patrick Rowlee is a powerful storyteller painting vivid portraits of his characters in a way that makes them real, vulnerable, and accessible for his readers. I love his style - descriptive without being flowery, compelling without being melodramatic. There is something in VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES for everyone! I was immediately hooked." -- Amy Hammond Hagberg, author of the Christian book series HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S REAL?"Patrick Rowlee writes with a muscular style perfectly suited to sports fiction. He has proven he's in the literary game for the long haul, and I'm damn glad of it!" - Gerald Locklin, Poet, Critic, and Professor Emeritus - California State University, Long Beach

Bess, clinging to her faith, does her utmost to drag her brother out of his darkness. When she has to leave for the city, Aaron is left on his own to wallow in darkness.

Homesick for Eden
Homesick For Eden proclaims and explores the idea that mankind has within him a primordial memory of his beginning, and a strong desire to return there. The search for utopia, for paradise, for the idyllic is ever present with us, and if we are to embark on this search, we ought to start with what we know about our beginning. This can only be found in the biblical story of creation and from the word of the Creator himself. We begin in Genesis, but we can't stay there. Our search takes us from the beginning to the end, from Genesis to Revelation as we discover the Eden, God created for Adam. In the process, we may discover a bit more about ourselves and a lot more about God as the story of creation, Genesis 1 and 2, is not a "how-to-book" for building a universe. It is a love story written by the one who is love and who created us to love Him.
Unspoken
"What can animals tell us about God? Do animals have souls? . . . Hunt offers a compelling story that asks both questions . . . Poignant" (Publishers Weekly).

Unwilling to be separated from the ape, Glee joins the zoo staff and sees that it's not as drastic a change as she first thought. That is until a near-death experience overturns everything Glee thought she knew about humans and animals, the seen and the unseen, the spoken and the unspoken. Suddenly, Glee has become the student and Sema the teacher . . . A Christy Award-winning author, "Hunt knows how to craft believable, interesting characters, and readers will find themselves drawn to the lovable Sema, the conflicted Glee and Glee's scripture-spouting 'Nana, ' the proprietor of a Florida motel" (Publishers Weekly).

The First Book of Adam And Eve with Biblical Insights and Commentaries - 1 of 7 - Chapter 1 - 13
PRESENT day controversy that rages around the authenticity of the Scriptures and how human life began on this planet must pause to consider the Adam and Eve story. Where does it come from? What does it mean? The familiar version in Genesis is not the source of this fundamental legend, it is not a spontaneous, Heaven-born account that sprang into place in the Old Testament. It is simply a version, unexcelled perhaps, but a version of a myth or belief or account handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation of mankind-through the incoherent, unrecorded ages of man it came--like an inextinguishable ray of light that ties the time when human life began, with the time when the human mind could express itself and the human hand could write. The First Book of Adam and Eve details the life and times of Adam and Eve after they were expelled from the garden to the time that Cain kills his brother Abel. It tells of Adam and Eve's first dwelling-the Cave of Treasures; their trials and temptations; Satan's many apparitions to them; the birth of Cain, Abel, and their twin sisters; and Cain's love for his beautiful twin sister, Luluwa, whom Adam and Eve wished to join to Abel. This book is considered by many scholars to be part of the "Pseudepigrapha" (soo-duh-pig-ruh-fuh). The "Pseudepigrapha" is a collection of historical biblical works that are considered to befiction. Because of that stigma, this book was not included in the compilation of the Holy Bible. This book is a written history of what happened in the days of Adam and Eve after they were cast out of the garden. Although considered to be pseudepigraphic by some, it carriessignificant meaning and insight into events of that time. It is doubtful that these writings could have survived all the many centuries if there were no substance to them. This book is simply a version of an account handed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation, linking the time that the first human life was created to the time when somebody finally decided to write it down. This particular version is the work of unknown Egyptians. The lack of historical allusion makes it difficult to precisely date the writing, however, using other pseudepigraphical works as a reference, it was probably written a few hundred yearsbefore the birth of Christ. Parts of this version are found in the Jewish Talmud, and the Islamic Koran, showing what a vital role it played in the original literature of human wisdom. The Egyptian author wrote in Arabic, but later translations were found written in Ethiopic.The present English translation was translated in the late 1800's by Dr. S. C. Malan and Dr. E. Trumpp. They translated into King James English from both the Arabic version and the Ethiopic version which was then published in The Forgotten Books of Eden in 1927 by The WorldPublishing Company. In 1995, the text was extracted from a copy of The Forgotten Books of Eden and converted to electronic form by Dennis Hawkins. It was then translated into more modern English by simply exchanging 'Thou' s for 'You's, 'Art's for 'Are's, and so forth. The text was then carefully re-read to ensure its integrity.
Magdelene
