The Roman legions quit Britannia in 410 AD with the Roman emperor Honorius advising them to "look to their own defenses." This was too good to be true for so many warring despots seeking kingships and plunder in a divided land. In the centuries that followed one such man was the Pendragon, an unmerciful tyrant whose cruelty stretched the most barbaric warrior's imagination. What this king, along with a few demonic, wannbe wizards, did not bank on was a man who thought - "I'll fight back, to the death, if need be." The courageous rebel had something special up his sleeve - his arrows never ...

But a few believe him: the wise prophet Nephi, the kind shipbuilder Omnihah, and his trusted teacher, David. When the Lamanite prophet Samuel stands on the walls of Zarahemla and declares: "Five years more cometh..." Enoch knows time is ...

This book is the shorter version of my book Paul’s Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus. Robert’s Razor is the name I have given to the mindset of rejection of anything that cannot possibly be intellectually.

After spending more than a millennium in relative obscurity, Saint Joseph has become the second-most mentioned saint in the papal magisterium after the Virgin Mary. To understand the life and importance of Saint Joseph, a good place to start is with the first papal title ever granted him: "Patron of the Universal Church." What is it that Saint Joseph has to offer the Church—and each one of us—today? That's the question that A Man Named Joseph: Guardian for Our Times seeks to answer.

Man, in his condition of being spiritual, sooner or later has to leave this physical sphere of his existence, and therefore he will continue his route beyond the threshold of death, and that is when he will have to face his Creator, and, Believe it or not, expect it or not expect it, you will have to give an account of your works, of all your works, whether they are good or bad; which can involve severe and dramatic consequences. However, on the other hand, if you are already a child of God, that is, you are already eternally saved because you have believed in Jesus Christ and his saving ...
