Book Description
When David Johansen relocated to the quiet, unassuming little town of Killdeer, he thought the move would do him good. He thought he'd finally escaped the violence of his past in the north woods of Wisconsin. He had no idea how wrong he was. As a terrible blizzard descends upon Killdeer, David is awakened by a gunshot, followed shortly by frantic pounding on his front door. He pulls a shotgun from its rack, opens the door and meets Anya, a frightened young woman with a disturbing request: "Help me. Please! Someone's trying to kill me!" David shelters the woman and quickly draws the attention of the killer pursuing her, a relentless hunter who will stop at nothing to claim his victim. Through a series of text messages, the killer makes his presence known and presents David with a deadly ultimatum. More lives than Anya's are now at stake… unless David complies with the killer's wishes. As the weather worsens, the people of Killdeer are forced to take shelter in the local hotel, where emergency preparations have been made for an extended stay. David and Anya go there as well… but the killer may have followed them. When the killer strikes again, David's fears are realized. Worse, as a relative stranger to the town, many suspicious eyes are turning in his direction. Trapped by the weather in an overcrowded hotel slowly boiling over with fear and mistrust, David is faced with three problems: He must protect Anya at all costs, knowing full well that it may cost him, and the people of Killdeer, everything. He must find and stop a killer who has shown the ability to cut power and communications, has eyes and ears everywhere, and is able to strike at will. He must face the darkness rising up within himself, changing him, pulling him far from his faith, and threatening to drag him down forever. Orion, the sequel to the award-winning Victor: The Reloaded Edition*, is more than a tale of suspense, intrigue, and ultimate stakes that will keep you awake deep into the night. It is a story of internal struggle and difficult decisions, highlighting the war for our souls between what we want and what we need. Orion is the story of every reader's heart, and its message will linger long after the final page is read.

Terra Firma: the Earth Not a Planet, Proved from Scripture, Reason, and Fact
Author: David Wardlaw Scott
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473352096
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
In this compelling work on Flat Earth Theory, David Waldo Scott uses a collection of scripture, reason, and fact to argue against the idea that the earth is a planet. Since its publication in 1901, Terra Firma: the Earth Not a Planet, Proved From Scripture, Reason, and Fact has become one of the primary texts on the subject and is a wonderful insight into the philosophy of a bygone age. Focussing on the work made by ‘modern astronomers’, Scott draws on testimonies from travellers past, biblical scriptures, as well as other concepts from flat earth theorists to produce a wide-ranging collection of evidence to support his argument. Chapters in the book include: - The Adamic Creation - The Nebular Hypothesis: Examination of Three Alleged Proofs of the World’s Globularity - The World Circular, But Not Globular; Has Immovable Foundations, Therefore Not a Planet - The Horizontally of Land and Water Proved - The Sun, Moon, and Stars, According to Modern Astronomy - The Deluge – Biblical Account Despite being written over a decade ago, this work by David Waldo Scott continues to inspire modern generations. This edition by Read & Co. Books features an introduction to astronomy and is an interesting read for those interested in Flat Earth Theory and Christianity.

The Inkhorn
Author: Lewis Allen Buckland
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489719881
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
There are two geometries in the world—the geometry of Jehovah God, and the geometry of the devil. Jehovah god represents the Aaronic priesthood (Renewing of the holy ghost) and the devil represents the mystery of Babylon. (God of forces) The Inkhorn compares these geometries and applies scripture to what we see in the world today. It answers the age-old question regarding why our ancestors built pyramids in exact alignment to the stars and worshipped the sun and moon gods in a hierarchical structure. It will be revealed that this was due to the mystery of Babylon. (Hierarchy of the angels) The body of Jesus Christ, and the holy ghost, and the body of Satan and the cosmic sorceries of the universe (The spirit of Antichrist) are two hierarchies in the world that we must understand. With this understanding, we can explore future prophecies to come, which challenge the false teachings in Christian eschatology. You can learn more about the inkhorn and see a sneak preview of the book by visiting the authors website at www.theinkhornbook.com
