In the El Malpais wilderness of New Mexico, Juniper Window lives in a cave in a deep collapse that his father has built into a home. They live a strange existence where the witch of the El Malpais stands in large Ponderosa pine trees on nights of the full moon and haunts a stark landscape of lava flows, cinder cones, caldera sunk into the earth, lava tube caves, and sandstone bluffs.One night, after a depressing day at school, Juniper confronts the beautiful witch in her tree, and she chases him until he finally escapes down a lava tube that branches into other lava tubes deep in the earth. He finally reaches a great cavern with an underground river. There he sees "great lizards moving in darkness. Tongues flickered in and out of huge mouths with rows of razor-sharp teeth." When the largest of the lizards notices him, Juniper hears a voice in his head that tells him to follow to where a lava tube leads to the surface. Juniper is hesitant, but what other choice does he have? He could never follow the maze of tubes he'd scrambled down before he found the great cavern. When, poised above the cavern in front of the lava tube he has been led to, he speaks out loud to the great lizard, the lizard informs him that it not a lizard but a dragon.Thus starts an adventure that is partly a love story, partly a tale of madness in a world filled with the violence and problems confronting contemporary society, including drug use, and partly a story of healing, family, and redemption. Poetic prose sings as events sweep over the wild landscape of the El Malpais and Ramah, New Mexico and dragons and human hurtle toward a climax that promises enormous changes in a world that has no idea of what is about to happen. As the powerful adventure continues, the dragons discover their heritage as great dragons who have been driven to the cavern beneath El Malpais to avoid extinction, Lily, a Navajo girl that Juniper falls in love with, finds a way to heal her Grandfather of his alcoholism, and Juniper, his father, and his mother at last put the past behind them on a hill beside Four Windows Caves as the dark sky on a Christmas night is filled with the flight of dragons.¿

Why do we have the freedom to choose? What are the choices we make? Why do we make certain decisions? How do we reason and select or evaluate our choices to make life work for us? Or is it about us? Pro-Choice, Pro-God, Pro-Life: A Multiple-Choice Answer for a Humanity Question addresses these inquiries and others.Choice is a fundamental freedom in a free society as opposed to a dictatorship. Choice has always been a God-given ability for angelic beings and humans. Lucifer and the heavenly host exercised their ability to choose long before God created humankind. Two-thirds of the angelic beings decided to stay on God's side, and one-third decided to rebel with Lucifer. What we choose and why we make the selections are critical to the success of life. Taking away one's fundamental right to choose creates rebellion, discord, strife, and a form of slavery. Although God may allow it, however, it is not his desire for us.Teaching and influencing people how to make better choices is key to having a better society. In Pro-Choice, Pro-God, Pro-Life: a Multiple-Choice Answer for a Humanity Question, you will explore why we as a nation must be committed to establishing and promoting better choice-making abilities, based upon proven biblical truths, and the need for embracing God's grace for overcoming past mistakes.We are a violent, sexually addicted society with a bent toward self-destruction. We cannot afford to leave our future to chance or politicians who have figured out how to manipulate the emotions of the country for their gain. By exercising our God-given ability to choose correctly, we become competently equipped as a nation to be pro-choice, pro-God, and pro-life for our humanity.

Salt Bear decides, after a conversation with his best friend, Buddy the jackalope, who was scratching "behind his right prong horn just above his big floppy ear," that he needed a name. At the salt lick in Glade Park above the Colorado National Monument, he was the only animal whose name came from the name of his kind of bear rather than who he was as an individual. This starts Salt Bear off on his first journey to find out if other salt bears are alive. After all, being the only one of your kind of creature is a lot responsibility. In this journey Salt Bear first encounters a mysterious snow owl who frightens him with prophecies and then tries to ask a raven about salt bears. This first journey ends on a night of full moon on top of the Coke Oven monoliths as a sky-full of ravens circle in silver moonlight above his head. There he meets the oldest ravens alive who terrify him with their strange behavior of weirding prophecies. Thomas Davis has created an adventure story in the tradition of Watership Down or Wind in the Willows. As three friends go off into a wilderness toward the Gooseneck Country of Eastern Utah, they not only have to cross high mountains and rivers, but they also find themselves struggling through a landscape filled with terror and death and the madness of a great grizzly bear and mountain lion. In the end Salt Bear finds out who he is. Buddy and Old Rombo, the cactus buck, also discover the magic of who they are in a classic tale of the American west. A widely published poet Davis's language sings with powerful descriptions and memorable scenes designed to engage any reader who still has adventure in their bones and a feeling of excitement about who they might be in life. James Janko, winner of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Prize for the Novel and numerous other literary awards, has said of Davis's writing that "Here you will find language and story that mesmerize the reader, that transport one to places where words and stories are born." This is Young Adult literature at its finest. With moments of humor as well as adventure, it will appeal to those who are on the cusp of their life's journey, whose imaginations dance when they are stimulated to think about who they are and what they might become.

This playful (and sometimes silly) approach to presenting the Word of God using visual puns and graphic associations is intended to be used as a memory aid. Inspired by the hand-drawn flash cards my mother used to help me memorize the ten commandments when I was young, this book is a colorful and engaging work centered around the text of Exodus 20 for families to enjoy. The Bible commends us to teach our children God's words, and I am pleased that my artwork can play a part in helping you train up your children in the wisdom and truth of our Creator. I hope you have as much fun reading this book as I did putting it together! For More information and supplemental content, visit: www.genanim.com/Books On Twitter @GenAnim

If it's true, as I suspect, that most of us have only the most vague notions of the time when the French were exploring and exploiting the interior of North America, and perhaps have no realistic notion at all of the Native peoples with whom they would interact, then I think this brilliantly researched and imagined historical novel will bring us one giant step closer to clarity in our thinking of that time and place. That we may also gain some clarity in our thinking of cultural and familial relationships is a bonus. Told in the voice of its very uncertain boy-becoming-man (non)hero, Ogima, Davis' story leads his reader, in an entertaining and mythic manner, through the woods and over the waters of real-world places - villages, islands, and a peninsula - and also through a belief system in large part erased since the time portrayed, which is the very dawning of recorded history in this part of the world, although the oral tradition reaches back to time immemorial, and is the basis for much of what we learn here. Ralph Murre (Door County, Wisconsin poet laureate, 2015-2017), Editor, and Publisher Set in a time of great turmoil and with a framework of crucial historical events, Prophecy of the Wolf, a gripping tale, is primarily about a young Neshnabek man, Ogima, who doubts his own abilities. Following our protagonist, we plunge deep into cultures just beginning to feel the clash between Europeans, represented by French fur traders in the novel, and American Indian tribes that will soon grip the entire North American continent. Set in the mid 1600s, this adventure, set on the Door Peninsula and Washington Island in Wisconsin, involves some of the earliest known historical figures on the Great Lakes.Thomas Davis, the well-known author of In the Unsettled Homeland of Dreams, is a master of taking a few stray threads of elusive history and weaving from them a masterful tapestry. His works are full of historical and cultural gems, but, above all, deep personal insights into interesting and compelling individuals. The connections become more significant the more you know about early French and Potawatomi history in Wisconsin but will pull you in on whatever level you embark on this amazing tale! David Lea, local Door County historian

Mythos of the Door contains lyric and narrative poems that explore the underlying spirit of Door County, Wisconsin. Millions of visitors come to the Door every year because of its miles of shoreline, art galleries, indoor and outdoor live theaters, musicians and music venues, nightlife, sailing, fishing, golf, small shops, and bookstores. Once in the county they visit small villages and the city of Sturgeon Bay. What they do not always see beyond dolostone cliffs, the waters of Lake Michigan, Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay, or inland lakes, the forests, or the wonder of the state parks are the stories that go back to when American Indians, the first French fur traders, the sailors of sailing or steamships, or those that first planted the magnificent cherry orchards created a mythos woven into the natural beauty of a magic peninsula.metapA mythos is a myth or mythology, a traditional theme or plot structure, or a set of beliefs of assumptions. Poetry, at its very best, is an exploration. In this book, story poems are interwoven with lyric sonnets and a wide range of other forms of mostly traditional verse forms to explore the mythos of the door from the wild waters of Death's Door between Washington Island and Gill's Rock at the tip of the peninsula. In doing so, the book as whole looks past the surface of the stories and the characters of the Door and explores the meaning of what we all are, living inside our multitude of histories, as human beings.The stories told with meter and rhyme range from that of a Potawatomi woman confronting a wolf with pale, green eyes frightened away from here by a large black bear to the classic Christmas story when an immigrant man and his daughter try to cross a frozen Death's Door just before Christmas during a year when Lake Superior has frozen over and confronted by ominous cracks in the ice. Potawatomi and fur traders come into contact, sailors try to survive furious storms, and an old man at Christmas miraculously works his way out of a deep depression caused by his wife's death when he sees two ravens and snow geese during a winter storm. The sheer beauty of lyric poetry describing magic moments can be found too, as well the life of stone sculptures of women "Staring intently out of bronze, pewter, metallic blue, and silver/At the nothingness of everything." This is old fashioned poetry in an age where rhyme and meter has gone out of style, but it recalls the magic of poetry that has enchanted generations upon generations of readers from the time when Beowulf was first written down on a page into our contemporary world.
