Chris Mathews puts his life on hold in the eighth millennium and leaves behind his wife Leanne to join Professor Andrew Reichstein and Hailey Missentra on a ride to a slipstream at the edge of a black hole. They plan exiting the stream a few seconds into the future to prove that time ""emergence"" is possible. However, they emerge into a time beyond their reckoning and find their worlds changed forever. Chris, in particular, must decide whether to travel even farther into the future, into an infinite future, when humanity becomes God, and seek the missing information that will bring his wife Leanne back to him. And what will this mean to his friends and their survival? ""5 stars! I can honestly say J.J.'s vision of the future is unique. The science and ideas are very big but he pulls it all together to create a great story."" Ray Simmons for Readers' Favorite

Our life's journey takes us through many different valleys and atop many mountains! We must completely trust God to guide us in each part of these journeys. This book "Inspirational Messages on Life's Journey" has been in the works for ten years. Little did I know when God spoke to me and told me to start writing and sending out monthly newsletters through our ministry, Sweet Aroma Ministry, that one day the articles would be compiled into a book. The articles were inspired by the different life's journey, we have experienced when we were atop the mountains or deep in the valleys. One can only speak and write, what one knows and experiences. My prayer for each of you is that somewhere hidden in the recesses of this book, you discover yourself. I pray one of my experiences will enable you to find guidance and understanding in your next step in your lifes journey.

This book is a thorough and thought provoking account of the first year of existence of the 60th Australian Infantry Battalion. Interspersed with Divisional, Brigade and other Battalion’s perspectives are the personal views of officers and other ranks relating to events and places. Included in the story is an investigation into a previously untold account of a group of soldiers called the “Needle Trench 10” who were killed by a single artillery shell on the 26th November 1916. For more than 100 years the identity of one of these soldiers, buried in the Guards’ Cemetery at Lesboeufs, France, has been lost to time. A document, filed in the archives of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Maidenhead, England, for over 100 years and only coming to light in 2021, has finally enabled this soldier’s possible identity to be established. Also revealed in the same document is the initial burial location of another soldier, wounded by the same artillery shell, and dying later that day whilst on his way to receive medical treatment. Woven throughout the book are the human stories of the battalion’s soldiers, including biographies of those killed on the 26th November, with many of the details provided by the descendants of these soldiers. The investigation details how a simple “bookkeeping” entry resulted in families, and descendants of ten of the eleven soldiers who died on the 26th November, being provided incorrect details concerning their deaths. This error has been perpetuated in official documents, publications, online resources, and inscribed in stone since this time.
