The Rebirth of Peggy Judge
I would like to introduce you to Peggy Judge. She is a middle-aged woman with a seemingly full and happy life, as happy as it can be since the accident happened that took her beloved parents away from her over a year ago. She has a loving husband, three adult children that she and her husband Nyles love beyond measure and are extremely proud of. Peggy is one of those loving, nurturing, non-judgemental and trustworthy people that always tries to do what is right. Anyone who really knows her will tell you that she is truly one of a kind, especially her family and her best friend, Arlene "Arley" Davis. Her family and friends will also tell you that Peggy Judge always knows just what to do in any situation. And usually, that's true, for she is a very wise and practical person. But when she begins to dream dreams that shake her to the core, she begins to question her sanity and she begins to find that maybe, just maybe, she doesn't have the full and happy life she thinks she has. And maybe, just maybe, there is more. So much more.
Love with Abandon
What is a Christian? What should they act like? Has anybody ever taken the time to explain to you how Christianity works without beating you up? Are we all going to make it to Heaven? Are there degrees of happiness and rewards for believers and conversely, punishments for the unbelievers? There seems to be a spiritual famine in our country, so what exactly is the value in serving God? These "speculation theologies" are floating around today, but they are based on human reasoning or what's "politically correct" and not the Bible. At best, the church doesn't offer us much information about Heaven, except that it will have streets of gold and be beautiful. We all will be rewarded and happy, but beyond that, we really aren't told very much about what we'll be doing. Or are we? As Gerber continued to trace various subjects through the Bible, an image started to materialize out of the mist, one of God's mature yet consistent plan for us in His kingdom. In Love with Abandon, Jerry Gerber takes scriptural pictures and transforms them into fictional stories, depicting the possibilities of life in God's eternal kingdom. In his work, Gerber challenges you to live for God and turn to His Word, and in doing so, He will help you get through whatever you may be facing. Jesus doesn't always immediately heal us of our past, but He does help us cope until the time is right for healing. And though God may not make sense today, He will in the end.

'This was the slaying of the Minotaur, which put an end forever to the shameful tribute of seven youths and seven maidens which was exacted from the Athenians every nine years.' The gods, heroes and legends of Greek mythology and their Roman interpretations are as fascinating as they are instructive. They include the almighty Zeus and his many wives; heroic Perseus, slayer of the snake-headed Medusa; Helen of Troy, whose beauty caused a great war; Medea, driven mad by jealousy; and tragic Persephone, doomed to live half of each year in the Underworld, condemning the world above to winter.

Some staunchly believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, others are post-tribulation advocates, and still others just want more food and fun at their meetings.Before the group breaks up, they agree to take a new approach. First, a courtroom hearing is organized with opposing lawyers presenting their cases. Then, in a supernatural twist, biblical figures travel through time to take the witness stand. End Time Machine focuses on specific biblical prophecies that must be fulfilled before the rapture occurs and their impact on Christians worldwide in the years ahead. Readers step inside the courtroom to examine the pieces of the prophetic puzzle provided by Paul, Daniel, John, Matthew, and Jesus himself in the context of today's events.
Tribulation Has Begun
I am thrilled, yet humbled and broken by the originality and precision of this book. The author demystifies the underworking of the evil camp and exposed their master plan. The author's ability to capture and pinpoint the occurrence of past events validates the likelihood of her future predictions.

Each chapter carefully and concisely exposed me to the long-awaited plot of the devil and his future intentions against the children of God and mankind in general. The narrative technique of the author would leave you with introspection and enlightenment. Tribulation Has Begun exhibits balanced artistry of suspense and artistic candle and puts the author among the exalted league of those who bore the message of God.

Further, readers will get to read about the author's conviction, hunger, and thirst for God.With a strong message revealing Jesus is coming soon, the devil manipulating the church and government, and the need for churches, to lessen and harken unto the voice of God The author, the lead character in this book, has taken the lead in telling all who would open this book about the interest of God in His children and importance of God in our life.

The Marduk Letters
Our Father Below is pleased with the work of the demons in the Lowerarchy of hell to create division and contention among the people of Earth in the twenty-first century. However, he is angered by the growing interest in the ideas of humility and zeal that Christian leaders have discovered in the Enemy's two-thousand-year-old propaganda. These ideas have been formalized into two related, abhorrent concepts: servant leadership and level 5 leadership. Servant leadership describes individuals who begin with a natural desire to serve first, and then conscious choice causes them to aspire to lead. Level 5 leadership, from Good to Great by Jim Collins, combines the paradoxical blend of humility and zeal. Marduk, a thoroughly ruthless and cruel demon, mentors his naive and hapless nephew Slugtoad. Marduk assigns Slugtoad to a male and a female patient in America who have the potential to be strong Christian leaders. In his letters, Marduk advises Slugtoad to guide the patients away from effective leadership. The first section of the book is comprised of the Marduk letters, while the second section provides the scholarship and research of servant and level 5 leadership.
Who Loves You the Most?
As parents, we unknowingly teach our children at a young age to rely on us for love. We say things like "Who loves you the most?" and the answer is typically us. Then as children grow up and go to school, they seek the approval and acceptance of classmates and later in life get into relationships that may sometimes fail or be toxic. When this happens, they question their existence and feel unloved. This can lead to self-esteem issues, self-medicating with medications, drugs and/or alcohol, or even worse, suicide. Who Loves You the Most? is a book written for children to understand the wonderful relationship we can have with ourselves and with God when we listen to what's inside our hearts, teaching children at an early age that, ultimately, no matter what happens or what life brings us, we are never truly alone when we believe and accept God as our savior.

Forge of Freedom
In the final volume of The American Patriot Series, the Americans' war for independence concludes in triumph-and the renewed fight of the Shawnee for survival in their ancestral lands. From John Paul Jones's epic battle with HMS Serapis, to the conflagration on the western frontier; a traitor's bitter betrayal; and the decisive confrontation at Cowpens, events out of Jonathan and Elizabeth Carleton's control spiral toward a fateful climax at Yorktown. Yet amid war's harsh trials they discover that, even more than the grand ideal of liberty and the deep intimacy of earthly love, the cry of their hearts is for the true peace and lasting freedom that are found in God alone. "Richly researched and brimming with emotional depth and spiritual truth, Forge of Freedom places you right alongside the beloved, unforgettable characters of the American Patriot Series who bring America's hard-won history to vivid life. Both literary feat and reading feast, Forge of Freedom is a triumphant finish to a stellar series!" -Laura Frantz, Christy Award-winning author of The Rose and the Thistle "Forge of Freedom is a beautiful and satisfying final installment of an amazing series! I was sorry to say goodbye to characters I've followed for so long, characters so vivid they could indeed have lived among the historical figures scattered throughout the tale. I can't speak highly enough of the author's attention to detail and passion for preserving the wonder of our nation's history, even with all its missteps and blemishes." -Shannon McNear, RITA(R) finalist, SELAH winner, and author of the Daughters of the Lost Colony Series "Forge of Freedom is an exciting, satisfying, and often heart-wrenching finale to J. M. Hochstetler's The American Patriot Series. Weaving together a compelling fictional romance with actual historical events, Hochstetler gives readers an opportunity to see the American Revolution up close and on a very personal level. Through Carleton and Elizabeth, we experience the hopes, fears, faith, courage, and sacrifice every Patriot must have faced as the Revolution achieved victories and suffered defeats. Through real life historical figures, we see their very human sides as they struggle to establish a new nation unlike any other in the history of the world. This series should be required reading for every high school student." -Louise M. Gouge, award-winning author "In Forge of Freedom, the author has again brought us another view into Elizabeth Howard and Jonathan Carleton's compelling lives. Ms. Hochstetler's research into the events and attitudes of the era is impeccable. While the Revolutionary war drags on we experience the emotion and witness the love, joy, separation, adventure, and faith that encompass Elizabeth and Jonathan's lives. My concern is that there won't be a continuation of their fascinating story." -Janet Grunst, author of Setting Two Hearts Free "Forge of Freedom is the satisfying conclusion of Joan M. Hochstetler's American Patriot Series. Written in an engaging fashion, the reader is pulled into the story and transported back to the end of the Revolutionary War. I highly recommend reading these books in order. Together, they complete an epic series of beautifully researched American history surrounding the fictional story of ordinary people pushed to do the extraordinary. Populated with actual historical figures and events, this series illustrates the personal struggles and sacrifices required to birth a nation." -Pegg Thomas, award-winning author of Sarah's Choice
Proof of Life
This novel overlaps with its prequel, Skullduggery at Golgotha, beginning Sunday with the women going to the tomb. There is an earthquake with flashes of light and Roman soldiers. The women fear the worst. They are told about the resurrection. The soldiers guarding the tomb go to the chief priests and there is a coverup. The chief priest Elamadad assures the soldiers that he will deal with Pilate and have them excused from wrongdoing. Jesus makes many appearances to his followers. These follow the biblical record and additionally there are encounters with others from the past. Jesus explains the prophecies that were fulfilled in his betrayal, trial, passion, death and resurrection to his apostles. Thomas' encounter is described in experiential detail. By touching the wounds of the Lord, he is mystically able to share with him in his suffering. As he places his hand inside Jesus' wounded side he feels the warmth of his body, the rise and fall of his chest as he breathes, and his beating heart. Thomas feels like he is touching the heart of God. The apostles share part of this with him through a mystical communal experience. In the second novel Joseph of Arimathea opened his home to the Lord's mother, John and other followers after his burial. That would have been the night his household celebrated the Passover. In this novel after his resurrection Jesus visits Joseph's home on the eve of the Sabbath and blesses them with his presence at their meal to honor them for the hospitality they provided. Jesus shares about the prophecies Joseph fulfilled by providing his tomb. Jesus visits at the home of Lazarus in incognito. Mary greets him at the door. She washes his feet and realizes that this man's feet are not at all dirty and they have an aroma to them. She makes the connection that this is the same aroma of the ointment she anointed Jesus' feet once before. Then the Lord reveals himself to her. He visits with Lazarus' family and explains that there is a parallel to their two deaths. The Lord delayed coming to deathly ill Lazarus and left them feeling abandoned. This is a parallel event to when Jesus felt abandoned by his Father and cried out, "Why have you forsaken me?" Jesus explains that God included them in his plan so that Jesus would know what the Father felt like when he turned a deaf ear to his Son on the cross. The Lord visits with Peter and discusses the reason he had him bring the swords. Peter is feeling overwhelmed emotionally about being told to bring them and then stopped from fighting. Jesus explains that he knew Peter would fight to free him. He would have disobeyed instructions not to. The only thing that would work was to arm him, allow the fight and then stop it to get his point across. Peter heals from his emotional pain. Jesus revisits the bleeding women who touched his garment. He gently touches her garment from behind until she notices and turns to see him. She invites him into her home. They reminisce about her healing physically and socially from her stigma. The story closes as Jesus journeys with his apostles to the mountain where he ascends. Lastly, there are two men that appear and leave them with the promise of the second coming.

Sketches from a Sunlit Heaven
What is it like to have a saint for a sister? This lyrical and fragmentary novel draws us into the brief life and powerful legacy of Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897), a French Carmelite nun who remains a much-loved figure in and beyond the Catholic Church. We follow Therese's story through the voices of six characters who knew her well: her sisters Marie, Pauline, Leonie, and Celine; a young cousin; and a troubled seminarian with whom she corresponds towards the end of her life. Each character offers their own perspective as they witness to Therese's life and death, the turns of history, and the subsequent complexities of promulgating a saint. Spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, each voice negotiates the tensions of religious life. The novel presents some remarkable people and events while inviting in the mysteries of grace, silence, and sunlight.
Tools of the Devil
Seventeen-year-old Lisa Brown loved going to church. Oh sure, sometimes she'd rather sleep in, but she liked the calming and empowering strength of her faith. Sundays revitalized her spirit when she thanked God for the wonderful things in her life, like her loving family and amazing girlfriend, Samantha Rose. One day she hoped to marry Sam, have a house and yard, and have babies together. One day. But then it happened. That fateful Sunday, the guest preacher stepped behind the pulpit and spoke four words that would change Lisa's world forever. "Homosexuality is a sin," he said. Had she heard him right? When her mother put a hand on her forearm, she knew she had. Every muscle in her body tensed, and she forgot to breathe. What was happening? The church she'd been baptized in, grown up in, and wanted to get married in had, in one instant, turned against her. Still not quite believing what she'd heard, she mumbled, "Ignorance is a sin, Reverend." Never one to back down from a challenge, she scanned the congregation but didn't find a single soul who looked upset by his statement. On the contrary, many nodded in agreement. Under her breath, she muttered, "Game on, people. Game on."

The Crucible
You would think, with all of the self-proclaimed leaders in this world, that leadership was something to be coveted, desired, obtained, or achieved. However, no one goes willingly into the crucible unless they love beyond themselves. In the crucible, the ego is exposed. In the crucible, God reveals the purpose of inadequacies. In the crucible, pressure and heat destroy that which isn't eternal and create something eternal out of what's left. Not everything survives the crucible, which is, after all the point. It's also the reason so many try to avoid it. They say one should never trust a knight in shining armor because that's a knight who hasn't seen battle. One should never trust a leader who hasn't been through the crucible because that person isn't leading you anywhere you want to go. The journey out starts by going in.
