Book Description
The year is 1946, and the sun is about to set on the British Empire in India. Even as widespread unrest and communal violence break out all over the country, sixteen-year old Philip Brandon, spending his winter vacations in the sleepy little town of Lakhbagan, grapples with his amorous yearnings while questioning what he wants out of life, and confronting his doubts and fears about his future in the new India. In the midst of boisterous parties and furtive dates, shooting expeditions and festive balls, the general turmoil in the country seems a distant irritant. However, trouble lurks around the corner as mysterious characters and events – a dowager with a dark secret, the new collector and his wife who are not quite what they seem, the phantom revolutionary Robin Roy, banners proclaiming ‘Quit India’ and ‘Jai Hind’ which appear inexplicably – cast their shadow on the tranquillity of Lakhbagan, threatening to shatter the idyll forever. Brimming with memorable cameos and vignettes, The Year Before Sunset is a witty and perceptive look at India on the eve of independence, in particular its Anglo-Indian community and the issues confronting the community as it comes to terms with the uncertainty about its status in a new and independent nation.

Book Description
Where was Golgotha? Was Peter's house in Capernaum? Was Mary from the town of Magdala? Where was Bethsaida? We've all heard the arguments, but what do the archaeological finds tell us? This book pulls together archaeological information, scattered in journals and final reports, relating to the Gospel of Luke with appealing photography, instructive illustrations, and fascinating recent finds. It uses archaeology to reconstruct the social, religious, historical, geographical, and pathological context for the story of Jesus and the Jesus-movement. The book not only features the "shiny objects" from the excavations (the beautiful pottery, buildings, and entertainment facilities) but also items that are not usually handled in glossy magazines, namely, the human, skeletal remains. Yet, these bones are an important window into the biblical world indicating lifespan, morbidity, socioeconomic standing, violence, and stature. The work will employ four areas of archaeological finds and investigations, including inscriptions, large finds (of buildings), small finds (jewelry, pottery, coins), and human remains, to help interpret and illustrate the Gospel of Luke. Along the way, it assesses several archaeological controversies, giving care to be fair to all sides but leaving the reader with the information to make up his or her own mind.

Book Description
Aric Afton looks forward to college as a time dedicated to learning, meeting new people, and a real social life. But when he speaks up for free speech, he becomes the guy on campus . . . with a woke target on his back. Ryan Krueger has dedicated his life to protect and serve. When a protest at the Portland Police Bureau headquarters goes bad, Ryan has a choice to make—to lie down and become the scapegoat that the political higher-ups seek . . . or fight to come out on top. Dillon Ingersoll is no stranger to war, thanks to a tour as a Marine in Iraq. The only souvenirs of that time were nightmares and PTSD . . . until he accepted Christ as his Lord, Savior, and Healer. But his beloved Texas, with his ranch bordering the Rio Grande, has become just another steppingstone for the cartels bringing their deadly wares into the country, and the nightmares have returned. Three lives. Three stories. And ‘white hat’ hacker Adam Afton, with his UltraNet software, becomes the common thread as the earth shakes with the coming change in the U.S. government and the Great Reset of the Deep State.
