These are tales about what it means to learn of life and death and trust and companionship, as seen through the eyes of two boys, who from the age of six to twelve roamed deep into the woods and waterways, into and out of one wild scrape after another.

Brother James said, “Everything I have learned in my life about writing is poured forth in this book. Some will be disappointed that it is not a commentary or exposition, but I believe that all who ...

Whisper Lake Indiana is a small farming town where all the citizens are good Christians. That's what most of them say, anyway. But the town hosts a dark, dark secret. Don Wilson, the former lord and master of the now burnt out and abandoned Hephzibahh House, is coming back to start his ministry of enslaving, starviing, and beating teenage girls until he turns them into the meek and frightened submissive women that his church members want. But something else is arising in Whisper Lake: an avenging entity from the dim mists of medieval and Qabalistic magic. As the outnumbered and outgunned ...

When the psalmist penned these words from King Solomon in Psalm 127:3-4 (NLT), "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him..." the Israelites understood the essence of the meaning as a song of worship that they would sing on their pilgrimage to the Holy City. From a scholarly perspective, there is an inherent belief within this repeated refrain that there is an expectation that God's children will be treated as gifts. When this expectation is not heeded, and instead there is a breach in safeguarding our children - especially in the church - the impact and trauma are ...

In this timely and incisive book, John Bursch helps explain what the Catholic Church teaches about the human person and why modern culture's embrace of "gender ideology" is not only wrong but terribly dangerous for parents and families, female athletes, medical professionals—and especially those experiencing gender confusion.

"AND he entered as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day." "And as he was wont, he taught them." "And went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives." "The Father... hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him." These were some of the habits of the Lord. He had habits, as each man must have, as God himself has; for do we not read of "the ways of the Lord"? Is this not ever the earnest man's prayer, "Show me thy ways, O Lord, teach me thy paths"? Indeed, it was to be the blessing of the latter days that they would fulfill this prayer. "And ...

Ted Just try and have an unusual ministry like mine these days. What’s so terribly wrong with a hug a day, huh? A non-sexual hug?
