The Virgin's Prophecy
A 2000 year old prediction for our time. Particularly appropriate in today's global aggression. In an astonishing series of visions in Mary's House in Ephesus, the mother of Jesus gives a forewarning and a promise for our era, the 21st century. Her son, she tells us, didn't come to die for our sins. He came to end the Rule of Evil, an immense expanse of time controlled by Satan. But the Romans killed Jesus, the Messenger of the Most High, before he could complete his task. Fallen angels didn't desecrate the earth, nor did Eve bring disaster by eating an apple. These are fables. In the early days of humanity, soon after we evolved from our animal ancestors, evil was created by a spiritually-gifted man who was intended to facilitate our initial spurt of evolution, a man who should have been the Lightbringer. Through arrogance and pride in his abilities, he rebelled against the Great Creator, the One who gave him life. Today, we know him as Satan, the devil. However, the Father promised those who remained faithful that evil wouldn't last forever. And Mary tells us the second attempt to end Satan's rule will be made in our own time. We can neutralise the Evil One. But how? Where does Jesus come in? Find out more at www.thevirginsprophecy.com .

The Sterling Gospel
Was Jesus Christ a god sent from the heavens, or a man sent from the future?Long ago, the question was a blasphemous absurdity. However, in the year 2085, technology can perform every miracle recorded in the Bible. Concealed drones allow one to walk on water. Bioremedial ointments cure the blind. And now, a time distortion can send someone back to the past. Having secretly collected each of these modern marvels and more, billionaire recluse William Sterling is convinced it was a tech-savvy man, not God, who first inspired human hope. All he needs to do is find the right man to be the Messiah. At twenty-seven years old, Amir Saleh is perfect. He's the right age, has the right ancestry, and is in the right mindset: desperate. Though at first he wants no part of Sterling's ridiculous plot, he eventually agrees for the sake of his family, wasting away in poverty. In return for their provision, he immediately begins a grueling, years-long training under a manic Sterling and his mild daughter Abigail. It takes years, but eventually he is ready to take on the mantle of the savior. Thrust back in time to the dusty edge of ancient Nazareth, he navigates the challenges of living in an era vastly different from his own and finds that he does indeed have a role to play in the Christ story-but perhaps not the one for which he was prepared.

Three Decisions
This book is based on my own experiences in life. It is a book of fiction, but the characters are all based on other people I knew and still know. The woman's father was a carpenter and had his own business. My mother's father was also a carpenter. He never had his own business but was a good carpenter. The man in the book had a father who was a tire builder for the firestone plant. My father's father was a tire builder for firestone and he retired.I am also just like the character David as I am the middle child. I have an older brother and I had a younger brother, but he passed away in 1995. He was a believer in Messiah Yeshua, and I know I will see him again in heaven. The character Keren worked and ran a wig shop. My mother worked in a wig shop, and she styled hair at our house for my grandmother and her sister and other women who couldn't afford to pay for a hairstylist.I wanted to put some of my own life experiences in this book. Like David having a speech problem, I had a speech problem and I took speech therapy when I was a young boy. I was made fun of. I overcame that speech problem. Even though I still have a hard time saying some words, I can talk much better than I did.The main thing I wish for all readers to know is that the best decision anyone can make is to accept Yeshua Hamashiach into their lives. He is the Savior of the world, and He is coming back soon. So if anybody reading this book didn't know Him as their personal Messiah, I hope and pray that you get to know Him on this personal level.Shalom aleichem.
One Family Under God
Imagine, if you will, a conspiracy to take over the United States government. However, this was no ordinary plot. The date was set, January first, right after dropping the crystal ball in Times Square. The Wilson family, from Manhattan, Kansas, of all places, inadvertently found themselves in the middle of the action early on, disrupting plans. The Cabal wrongly believed that they had received intel about the coup and needed to be eliminated. Attempt after attempt to permanently silence the family failed because of God's deliverance through prayer. Because of their success, conservative President Curtis Bosco took an interest in the Wilsons. They were protected by acts of God, including a severe windstorm, freak hailstorm, sudden blizzard, and surrounded by a sixty-mile circle of balmy summer in the midst of one of the coldest, iciest Decembers ever. He befriended them and used their estate as the "Midwestern White House" as it got closer to the New Year. Ironically, involving the Wilson family in their plan, God set in motion the means to counter every move the Cabal made. Otherwise, the coup may have worked. President Bosco and Vice President Van Hauten would have died from poisoning. The bizarre H0N0 virus would have incapacitated conservative members of Congress and Senators. And the line of succession would have fallen on an unexpected individual. Instead, it was the greatest New Year's celebration ever, thanks to the planning of the First and Second Lady, the Wilsons' contribution to the victory over the coup, and those still loyal to the President. Ken Nellis is a professionally trained researcher and author of, One Family Under God: The Final Revival, and now One Family Under God: The Great New Year's Coup. He is keenly aware of the present political landscape and the many "What ifs" that could be born out of it. Ken hopes to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Providence of God to each reader. Brought up in the great white north of Minnesota, Ken is an avid baseball fan and even tried out for the Minnesota Twins at one point. He pines for the snow and cold days of yesteryear. He is a widower and currently lives in the warmer St. Louis area with two daughters and a grandson.

In This House of Brede
Pax is the motto of Brede Abbey. Yet its peace is the peace of God-"not," as Godden brings to her readers' notice, "the world's peace." The walls of Brede witness life of unceasing work and prayer, little creature comfort, persistent disappointment and misunderstanding-yet a life of peace all the same, unswervingly joyful and loving. Into this life enters Philippa Talbot, ambitious, independent, successful, forsaking her beautifully arranged career in the world for a vocation of complete self-gift to God. Over the years and through myriad relationships in Brede and beyond, Philippa's spirit is tested and her mission refined, to the point of becoming "not what thou art, nor what thou hast been, beholdeth God with His merciful eyes, but what thou wouldst be." A milestone in Catholic literature, In This House of Brede is fiction of the highest caliber: no saccharine, simpering imitation of life, but a wholehearted, unreserved reflection of reality in its awful fullness.

About FoundAll I've ever cared about was being the type of man that God has called me to be, and having a woman in my life who will love me unconditionally. Then I Found her.She's the prettiest woman I've ever laid eyes on, and the fact that she has those two darling little girls is enough to make me stake claim on all three of them.Now, she thinks her full-figured body, and the nut she used to be married to is enough to run me away. What she doesn't understand is I love me a woman who I have to use every ounce of my strength to hold onto and I'm trained and equipped for any fight...spiritual or physical.In my mind, you ain't a lady if you aren't at least one-eighty and when you snooze, you lose.I'm okay with her hiding behind her feelings to keep me from loving every ounce of her, but what I'm not doing is going anywhere.She can teach and hide, but I'll be waiting until she understands that whether willingly or by chance, I'm a part of her life that isn't afraid to love all of her, and I'm not going anywhere because she's been Found.About PlentyShe wants to be a size eight, but I love every part of her. I want Angel.But I realize, she might not want me. She's always joking about my bad relationships, but I don't see her offering herself to me.It's the fact that she's so caught up in this imaginary Instagram world of being with the perfect man, until she can't see how bright her future would be with me.She doesn't understand that sometimes pictures portray a fake world. What you see isn't always what you get.Because some people would rather hide behind the lens which denotes happiness.And some people will stop at nothing to get that imaginary world that leads to pain and lies.All I need Angel to see is that for me, she's Plenty.About GuiltyShe's already got a little bit of everything she needs, but what Heaven doesn't know is that I am the man who can give her so much more. It's never easy when you are a man with a whole lot to offer but with guilt weighing heavily on your heart. If Heaven can find it in her heart to forgive me, she'll realize that she is just what I've been praying for, and I plan on doing whatever I need to do to make her happy.There's two problems: She's so stuck on not being played like a fool, making sure no one takes her stuff, and using the barricades she's built around her heart to keep her satisfied with being single.The second problem is, I did something that is going to require her to forgive me. All I know is if she ever starts loving me, and can find it in her heart to forgive me, this Guilty man will love her as Christ loves His church.
