The Journey
Two prominent men, friends and leaders in their church-one an elder and the other a deacon-embark on a road trip. Their destination is a gathering of great Biblical leaders and teachers along with the best-known Christian musicians and singers where the elder is to deliver opening remarks. It's a gathering to show the world where Christians stand on important issues. Knowing the trip will take almost two full days, they get an early morning start. As the day progresses, the deacon and elder stop for lunch and gas. This is where the journey starts to take a turn. The deacon notices a sick man in need, and the deacon insists he's going to stay in town and help while the elder continues to the revival. The deacon spends his life in service to others, first as a true friend to the elder, then as a helping hand to the downtrodden and those tortured by grief, and finally as a mentor to a lost teenager. Without realizing it, his simple obedience to the still, quiet voice of God causes life-changing results in the people he meets. Those he helps see him as a beacon of light, or as the welcoming light the church is supposed to be to the lost and needy throughout the world.
Love Is ...
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. ..." 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NKJV

The Angel of Christmas
The stories you are about to read are fiction with some fictional characters. However, not all of the characters are fictional. You will find real history and actual places woven into these tales. The main characters in all of these stories are angels. Angels are mentioned at least 273 times in the Scriptures. The number of angels is incalculable. They are created spirit beings which are invisible unless they wish to be seen, and normally, that is in human form. They, like us, have free will. There are several different types of angels with different assignments to carry out. They all report to God, their Father.Today, it seems many Christian people only desire to believe in a God of love and not a God of vengeance and punishment. Yes, God is love, but He is other things as well. People seem to mistake God's long-suffering for a change from His Old Testament persona to one that makes Him seem like a hippy of the 1960s. The Bible says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I can't visualize Him sitting on His throne making peace signs. He wasn't a flower child in the Old Testament, so neither is He today.This book shows both a God of love and a God of justice. In this collection of stories as well as in the Bible, angels are sent to carry out His justice upon evildoers. In both this book and the Bible, angels are also sent to show His love for His children.

Sarah's Song (Historical Christian Fiction with In-Depth Bible study)
This historical Bible-based fiction is by Illumination International Book Award gold-medal winner, Robin Weidner, bestselling author of Secure in Heart, Grace Calls: Spiritual recovery after abandonment, addiction or abuse, and Eve's Song. "For now, we can only see a dim and blurry picture of things, as when we stare into polished metal. I realize that everything I know is only part of the big picture." 1 Corinthians 13:12 (The Voice) We primarily hear the story of Old Testament women through the voices of men. What if a woman were to tell her story? And what if re-considering these stories could fill us with inspiration and hope? You may know Sarah of the Old Testament as Abraham's wife, the woman who laughed and the barren woman who bore a child in her old age. But how might she have processed what Jewish scholars call the Akedah, the binding of Isaac on Moriah? Infused with scripture, poetry and Jewish midrash, Sarah's Song invites you along on a wilderness journey of turmoil, healing and surrender to a God who loves unconditionally. You'll gain faith from this blended family's story and insights into healing trauma, processing painful memories and engaging spiritual warfare. At the end, you may find yourself asking...was that her story alone, or is it also mine, or so one we cannot tell the difference? "The wait is over! I always wanted to sit with Sarah and hear her side of the story when God called Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah. Robin with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit takes us on a journey with Sarah into the heart of God. Walking with Robin as a reader as she wrote this divine work, I had a first-hand view of seeing the gentleness of our Holy God as he met Sarah where she was at, unraveling her doubts, fear and insecurities and leading her to wisdom, peace and confidence. This book is a divine work, revealing the heart of God!" - Dr. Pam George, professor, global speaker, educator and former missionary "In the tradition of a healthy Jewish midrash, Robin imaginatively and faithfully enters the story of Sarah in this compelling and historically credible fiction. This is a fine example of how to live within God's story by exploring Sarah's faith and relationships.Within the frame of Scripture, Robin authentically represents the culture of the Ancient Near East, inviting us to sit with Sarah, learn from her, and explore our own walk with God." -John Mark Hicks, Ph.D., Author and Professor of Theology, Lipscomb University.

A work of high moral authority vs. philosophic reasoning is thereafter presented (by the words and actions of the players), culminating in a climatic battle of interpretive scriptural fact checking against the ancient historical record.The match is close, with all the major issues discussed (from the mystery of Trinity, Is Jesus God?, Forgiveness of Sin, Terrorism, Female rights, Apostasy, Persecution, Homosexuality, to Western Secular Values (sex, drug, debauchery) and so much more !In an imagined return of Jesus Christ (Isa - in Arabic, in whom be the highest blessings and peace) directly following the match, the true religion of the world is unveiled and the apocalypse is initiated to established a unified kingdom, under God.Unlike most books which un-evenhandedly criticize the Islamic position such that anyone who follows the Quran "must be a terrorist", the present work (while still forcefully challenging Islam), also provides the typical "peaceful" responses offered from more Westernized liberal Muslims - who claim their religion, when taken in appropriate context, is perfectly moral, loving and peaceful.Find out who wins, and what Jesus has to say (will surprise you) ! That fate of the Earth is at stake!
