Those who have accepted Christ as their Savior enjoy the privilege of imputed righteousness, an unearned gift from God, but it doesn't end there. We may be saints in the eyes of God the Father through the grace provided us by Jesus's death and resurrection, but anyone who has been a Christian for very long knows that there is a battle within us that favors carnality over allegiance to God. Crawling Out of the Wormhole is a thought-provoking exploration of our worm-like state as humans. What drives our carnality over allegiance to God? What are the signs of living in a worm-like state? How do we ascend to a sanctified state? Author Bob Shields helps answer these questions. He guides us to a better understanding of ourselves. He examines the many challenges that Christians face on a daily basis, and he explores what it truly means to be a Christian through biblical study, honest introspection, and real-life experiences. Even though as Christians we have a ticket to heaven, we are exhorted to take an honest assessment of ourselves and to strive to cooperate with the Holy Spirit as He refines us. As you read Crawling Out of the Wormhole, you will begin to challenge yourself to look at your unacknowledged sins, change your mind-sets, and pursue an intimate relationship with God amidst the demands of everyday life, thus getting closer to a sanctified state.

Fifteen-year-old Courtney wants to be normal like her friends. But there’s something frighteningly different about her—and it’s not just the mysterious tattoo her conspiracy-obsessed grandfather marked her with when she was a child. The last thing Courtney wants to do is end up crazy and dead like her grandfather—but what about the tattoo? And the alien scouts who visit Courtney in her bedroom at night, claiming to have shared an alliance with her grandfather? With her new friend Agatha’s apocalyptic visions, Courtney begins connecting the dots between the past, present, and future—of her bloodline, and the ancient history that surrounds it. So is she going mentally insane, like her family claimed her grandfather did, or is she actually a “chosen one” with ancestral connections to another world? Either way, Courtney has a mission: untangle her past, discover the truth, and stop the apocalypse before anyone from school finds out she’s missing.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Sisters Grimm and NERDS comes the third and final book in the time-jumping, universe-skipping, action-packed middle grade series with equal parts humor and heart! After his adventures through time, Finn returns home to a world he doesn’t recognize. Changing the past has created an all-new present, one in which he and his friends never vanquished the Plague. Now the giant bugs rule Earth from their spaceship! What’s an intergalactic traveler to do? The answer is obvious. Finn, Lincoln and Julep must defeat the Plague. Again. But how? Julep and Lincoln don’t remember Finn or their friendships. In fact, they’ve changed just as much as the world itself has, and they want nothing to do with his dangerous plan to save humankind. Finn’s plan? Find his father, Asher Foley, who is trapped on a microscopic world known as the Subatomic. Using a space-age slip-and-slide, Finn and his confused former-friends shrink themselves to enter this strange new world where nothing is as it seems, hoping to find his father, the one man who can put history, and the present, back together. It won’t be easy. The Subatomic is ruled by an evil menace with an army of hulking robots under his command. Even worse, Finn’s bitterest enemy, the Plague soldier Sin Kraven, is in pursuit. Can Finn find his father, save his friendships, and return to Earth in time to stop the Plague? "Rousingly raucous."--Kirkus Reviews
