It was formidable and impenetrable... a behemoth of logs blocking the Red River as far as the eye could see, stretching for over one hundred miles. The logjam - dubbed the "Red River Raft" - choked the river and denied passage there. It shaped both the terrain and history of Louisiana and Northeast Texas.

The 23rd Psalm is a short little chapter of the Bible; there are only six verses and 118 words in the King James Version of the Psalm, and seventeen of them are pronouns in the first person. It is that personal element that makes the Psalm so incomparably powerful and appealing in its message - it finds an echo in the heart of all humanity. If you study the passage, contemplate its message, and believe it in your heart, then your life will begin to change in ways that you can't even begin to comprehend. A magnificent plan for your life is spelled out exactly in the words of the 23rd Psalm... it is waiting inside the pages of this book for you to discover.

To learn that the Bible has accounts not only of spirits returning from the other side, but also of Spirit Travel or Astral Projection. Not only that, but Jesus himself gave a definitive description of ghosts as he spoke about them not once, but twice to his disciples - and at no time condemned or denied their existence. The Light at the Top of the Mountain examines not only the case studies of ghosts in the pages of the Bible, but also looks at the ancient laws regarding familiar spirits that are sometimes still invoked today to cast an unfavorable light on the supernatural. Be careful - if you read this book and study your Bible, you may find that the supernatural world around us is not only very real, but is a creation of God that he wants us to explore and enjoy. The Light at the Top of the Mountain might very well change the way that you look at life itself!

What if you were told that you had only twelve days to live? And what if that pronouncement was not given by a physician or surgeon, but instead by a young woman who claimed to be a divine messenger... and she had a gift to offer? What if you could not ignore her words? Even though your doctor gives you a clean bill of health, and life seems to be going along as smooth as ever, if what she said was correct, then every day, every hour, every second that passed was bringing you closer to your own death. And what if you believed in your heart that every word she said was true? In The Midnight Saint, an ordinary man is faced with extremely extraordinary circumstances, and his world is turned upside-down as his last twelve days tick slowly away...

On a quiet Friday evening, a USAF tracking station picks up an unusual anomaly, and the world will change forever...a group of extraterrestrial ships is heading for Earth. The pyramid-shaped crafts land in the ocean, and the human race is introduced to the "Brothers," a race of beings claiming a distant ancestry to man. Abdon, their spokesman, promises a future free of worry, want, and disease. There are only a few "rules" that mankind will have to follow...And so begins the Comes The End saga by William Creed. More than a typical end-times story, it is Christian science-fiction at its best.

To do this, however, religion has been forbidden, and those who hold fast to their beliefs are being hunted and killed. The Christians of Camp Noah seem to have found a perfect existence, yet it is threatened by spies who have infiltrated their community. These traitors are leading the Brothers to the Christians in what will surely be a terrible, final conflict.

The Gathering is the second installment in the thrilling Comes the End series, and finds the Christian population scattered, and running for their lives from the "Brothers," an alien race who has come to Earth with promises of health and prosperity.

He discovers a place of refuge in the mountains, and the faithful begin to arrive... even as they are being hunted by the Brothers and those loyal to them.

Father Chris Mognahan, a member of the Hetairia Melchizedek, a secret society within the Catholic Church that studies Biblical omens, investigates an unusually grotesque crime--a murder on a college campus where the killer's hand literally burned off the victim's face. While the killing seems isolated at first, the society ties the murder to the final Biblical prophecy and a terrifying omen that the order of the prophecies is about to be disrupted.

...and so was the rallying cry that began the Spanish-American War, when, on February 15, 1898, the USS Maine exploded in Havana horbor, killing 274 men.Perhaps the most famous icon from that bloody war was the American assault on Cuba's San Juan Hill in the Santiago campaign. It was not one of history's greatest battles, but it was the battle that won the campaign... the campaign that won the war... the war that dismantled the empire that had flown the blood-and-gold colors of Spain since Columbus. This book is based on the true story of Pvt. Alfred C. Petty's role in the adventure that changed the world.Contrary to legend, it was not the Rough Riders but the infantry who captured San Juan Hill. The infantry took it while Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders were capturing Kettle Hill, half a mile away, in a rip-roaring charge. The Rough Riders fought as bravely as soldiers anywhere, but truth must be told: the infantry did the job at San Juan, no matter the die-hard legend.But not before the army teetered on the brink of disaster. Someone had blundered - and not just once. The ailing, 315-pound commanding general, age 63, and top brass committed four egregious blunders.And how could this proud corps of elite career officers admit that a cheeky Southern bumpkin named Petty had done the incredible in the near-debacle at San Juan? An ex-cottonpicker with no formal schooling? A buck private who had been in the army only forty-three days? A soldier who had disobeyed orders to retreat? An inelegant rustic still wearing chiefly his shabby civilian hand-me-downs? Unthinkable. Forget him.So they euchred him out of the honors he deserved as one of our military immortals. This is his tale... the incredible true story of Pvt. Alfred C. Petty, the hero of San Juan Hill.
