Do You Have Questions About the World Before the Flood? Does the Bible Really Explain the 'Unexplainable'? Are we really living "in the days of Noah" as some prophets have said? How are the events of Noah's Ark and the Flood relevant to the last days? Are rebellious, fallen angels masquerading as aliens and UFOs today? In this book, Rick Renner — historian and Bible teacher with extensive knowledge of New Testament Greek — clears up some rampant erroneous theories while uncovering brand-new revelations from the Bible. He uses archaeological findings, the writings of Church fathers, trusted historical documents,and Scripture to answer these and other questions, such as: When was the first recorded rapture? What does it tell us about the rapture of the Church? Are the "sons of God" in Genesis and the fallen angels the same thing? Who were the watchers God assigned to guard mankind after the Fall? Was Methuselah’s life a prophetic demonstration of God’s longsuffering that preceded judgment? What did God’s promise of “120 years” really mean? Where is Noah’s Ark today? And why did God save only Noah and his family? Are there any consequences of unholy living today? Using photos from his own expeditions in the lower Ararat mountains — along with other empirical evidence of the Ark’s location — Rick captivates readers in this book and brings the Bible to life concerning this favorite childhood story. Containing hundreds of photos, illustrations, and endnotes, Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood is “a museum in a book” and a must-have edition to refreshand refire your walk with God!

This isn’t about me. This story, I mean. So already you got a reason to hang it up. At least that’s what Mrs. Smith, our English teacher, says. But the story is about ten-year-old Laney Grafton and the new girl in her class—Lara Phelps, whom everyone bullies from the minute she shows up. Laney is just relieved to have someone else as a target of bullying. But instead of acting the way a bullied kid normally acts, this new girl returns kindness for a meanness that intensifies . . . until nobody remains unchanged, not even the reader. In a unique and multi-layered story, with equal parts humor and angst, Laney communicates the art of storytelling as it happens, with chapter headings, such as: Character, Setting, Conflict, Rising Action, Climax. And she weaves an unforgettable tale of a new girl who transforms an entire class and, in the process, reveals the best and worst in all of us. This is a powerful and emotional story, which School Library Journal called “Thoroughly enjoyable and unexpectedly wry, . . . as intelligent as it is succinct.”

Suggests that children have the ability to make both good and bad choices and that God will help when they are unsure of what choice to make.
