Book Description
Deep in England's green and pleasant land something evil lurks… Dr John Watson is back home, fresh from his time in the trenches of Flanders Fields. The horrors of war weigh heavy on his mind, and now his task is to help rehabilitate soldiers suffering from the crippling effects of shell-shock. But the war is not yet over and in one corner of England lies a secret, one that the establishment is determined to keep under wraps. For in the woodlands of the lush countryside, the government is building the secret weapon which will win the war for Britain. Here, they are developing the land ship - never-before-seen 'tanks' which the army is convinced will end the stalemate on the Western Front. But then disaster strikes. After a training exercise in one of the tanks, eight men are mysteriously struck down, seven of them dead. There is just the one survivor, and he's not talking. It is clear something is horribly wrong, and the army calls in the only man who will know how to solve the mystery: Dr John Watson.

Book Description
Only 2 in 10 Americans under 30 believe attending a church is important or worthwhile. Well over half of young adults raised in the Church have dropped out with many having a strong anti-Church stance, many even believing the Church does more harm than good.Fr. Josh Johnson was one of these people. In Broken and Blessed he tackles the harsh realities facing the Church in the 21st century. With charity and courage he speaks to his own generation of Catholic “Millennials,” who often feel their needs and concerns are not being addressed by the Church, or who simply do not believe the Catholic Faith has any relevance to their lives. Using his own experiences, both as a former struggling young Catholic and as a priest, Fr. Josh offers an inspiring witness of how he came to know God, rather than just knowing about him—and presents practical ways for us to truly know God as well. Broken and Blessed: Addresses head-on Millennials’ most pressing issues with the Catholic Faith Presents powerful and inspiring stories from Fr. Josh’s own faith journey Shows how one can truly encounter Jesus in a personal way Offers practical insights on how to overcome habitual sins Discusses the nature of prayer, as well as the challenges to prayer and how to overcome them

From Him to Us
Author: Nate Gray
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 9780595403950
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
From Him to Us: Volume 1 Nate Gray This book is a series of fifty-three inspirational speeches, and is formatted into seven chapters. There were originally fifty-two speeches for this book, but I didn't realize I had another one written. The fifty-two speeches are symbolic to fifty-two weeks in a year, and I finished in 2004, which was a leap year, so I just used the extra speech for the extra week. 7 chapters are also symbolic to the 7 days of creation and resemble completion. This book started when I wrote my first speech for a church service in August 2002. The contents therein are many "mini sermons." The topics in here range from issues on faith and patience to preparation for eternity in Heaven with God. From Him to Us is arranged in an order that allows people to see the process in life and prosper as they go through life. Everything starts with faith and patience, and as this book is read, you will also gain spiritual wisdom and understand the fate of life. It also increases your understanding and strengthens your character and develops your perspective into a God-like perspective. Overall, you will be introduced to the process of life, go through the process, and the end result will depend on what you have learned in the process.
