A science fiction novel based on a young married couple, Tom and Marianne, striving to become a family of three. The story begins with the aftermath of the death of Tom's sister and the need for a storage facility to allow time for the disposal of her goods. During one of his early visits, Tom is intrigued with a crowd of individuals gathered to bid at an auction for delinquent storage units. He joins the crowd and bids on the final unit and wins and becomes the owner of the contents which is only an old metal box like a safe on wheels. He moves the box into his unit and returns to work. Tom is a lead software programmer working for Cyberworks, a cybersecurity software company, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Cyberworks is responsible for organizing and sponsoring a government conference on Cybersecurity. The conference introduces a request for proposal on a major contractual effort called "CyberDefense of the 21st Century". The conference brings together Senator Stanfield, Chair of the Senate National Intelligence Committee, General Halsey, Commander of DISA, Colonel Wiggins, Executive and Government Contract Program Manager, and the eight foremost competent cybersecurity companies in the United States. Tom is the lead "gopher" for the conference. You might say Tom is naïve, but he develops into a leader in a tumultuous series of events. Having a child is a wonder, but in all the joy, the danger in his world explodes into a turbulent and catastrophic untold way. Prepare Ye! The NBox is a work of imagination.

As Mary's presence to the church attracts increasing interest among Christians, we need to dig more deeply in the biblical texts to learn something of the full dimensions of her personality and life. Prophetic texts, particularly in the Song of Songs, are rich sources of information about Mary's early years, about the development of her sense of her own calling, and about the expansion of her role into her Motherhood and Queenship of the struggling church after the years she spent on earth.This work explores these texts, with invaluable assistance from the book left by Fr Gobbi, 'To the Priests, Our Ladies Beloved Sons, ' in which she communicates her whole mind on the current state of the church on earth, on where things are headed for the church, on the depths through which we are still traveling as part of the tribulation, and ultimately, after much upheaval, the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in the acceptance by the nations of the kingship of Jesus.Mary's words and works are not only totally consonant with Scripture; they are indispensable to understanding it

This non technical account is based on the author's experience of recovering from ME. It mixes tips on physical factors such as sleep quality and diet with a Bible based approach to dealing with spiritual root issues which led the author quickly to healing. Paul Flynn is an author of short stories, articles and language teaching texts for students of English in China. In 2001 he moved to China from London with his wife Choi. They currently live in Hong Kong. His other works include 'The Arrow of Elisha, ' 'Mary and the Prayer Patterns in the Song of Songs, ' and 'Healing in the Delay.'Author Review: I would love to be able to point to a moment when I received divine healing and that was the end of it. To my embarrassment, it never happened. I had to deal slowly with physical factors, finding the kind of short and sharp exercise that deepens sleep, gradually increasing the angle of tilt at which I needed to rest, discovering that all supplements are worse than useless in the acute and chronic stages (because they 'boost the immune system' when the illness is caused by an already highly active immune system). Dealing with spiritual roots went on at the same time. The physical and the spiritual went hand in hand. I healed while sorting out both, but I could see no connection between the two.The roots of sickness amount to failure to hear the word of God and keep it. At the heart of modern western culture there is an error, the belief that all religion is good, that there are so many different ways to the same destination. The Bible warns against this idea on just about every page, telling us that there is only one Healer and that all blessing comes from worshiping him alone and leaving the others to one side. Once I woke up to this truth I began to heal, and to heal quickly. It astonished me that a simple switch in thinking could have this effect, but that is how it happened. I didn't need to 'try hard.' I only needed to have faith in the only Healer and to steer clear of the others. Some people object to the 'spiritual roots' approach to healing because they feel it implies that the person is to blame for being sick. It doesn't. Jesus explicitly rejected that idea that sick people are more guilty than others. Don't let this issue prevent you from identifying your own spiritual roots, because it is the key to real and lasting healing. If you can get the roots out, your healing is secure. If the roots are still in, then even though you cut the tree down until it is invisible the sickness can make a comeback.

The Book of Job is a dramatic poem consisting mainly of speeches by the characters. Almost every speech begins with a reflection on the words used by the speaker or by other speakers. Words are at the heart of the matter in this Book of the Bible. Job's conversation with God eventually leads him to realize that his words have been getting him into trouble and keeping there. That is when he changes. His healing and restoration quickly follow. Job's spiritual maturation is measured by the use he makes of his tongue.
