Have you ever asked God, "Where are you when I need you?" Peter Gregory saw his wife die on the operating table, was lost in a blizzard and accidently fired a shotgun at his mother when he was a boy. Have you ever cried out and asked God, "Why does it have to be so hard?" A new dynamic author, Peter Gregory has been through it all and in his first book "Laddie's Grave", wants to share some realities of pursing the truth and "The God who hides Himself." Isaiah 45:15 Is it possible to know the creator of the universe in a world that, for the most part, denies His very existence? Laddie's Grave... was written for everyone who has been discouraged or is disillusioned and wondering what it takes to be successful in their walk with Christ. Laddie's Grave is a good read for those who find it a struggle to see Christ in everyday life and find their temptations an insurmountable obstacle. Jesus said, "Take Heart! I have overcome the world!" If we will seek God with all our heart and surrender our lives to Him, He is able to take even our biggest failures and make sense of them. Do you want to discover what it takes to find yourself empowered and be more than an overcomer in this life? Could it be that God has been pursuing you all your life? Sure to be a Best Seller, Laddie's Grave is a must read for anyone willing to step out in faith and seek God in their everyday experience. About the Author: Peter Gregory attended the Art Academy of Cincinnati and Asbury University in Wilmore Kentucky.

Mind reeling from recent events in The Boys, Wee Hughie heads home to Auchterladle - the semi-idyllic Scottish seaside town where he grew up. All Hughie wants is some time to himself, to return to the bosom of family and friends, and get his head together after two years of unimaginable chaos. But our hero's luck has always been more cloud than silver lining, and the familiar surroundings he craves are not all they might be. You can go home again, but with old pals warped beyond recognition and strangers in town up to no good, whether or not you should is another matter entirely.
