The topics include responding to religious conservatives; why liberals and conservatives alike miss the big picture; how to make HIV/AIDS prevention efforts more effective; how to renew faith, purpose, and dedication to truth.

What is it that keeps us from living a happy existence? Can we truly heal our bodies from any illness? Are we able to find harmony in our lives by accessing our soul's divine blueprint? These are just a few of the profound questions that are the focus of The Twelve Messages of the Spiritual Heart. When a serious health crisis suddenly forces Timothy to re-evaluate the meaning of life, he embarks on a journey of spiritual awakening and is thrust into the world of the beautiful Satyana, an enigmatic and powerful intuitive. With Satyana's help, Timothy enters into the mystical realm of the Akashic Records to discover a series of twelve ancient truths that reveal how to live a healthy and happy life, while at the same time being confronted with the possibility of his own death. A journey that spans lifetimes, dimensions, and the higher planes of consciousness, The Twelve Messages of the Spiritual Heart is at once an adventure story and a thoughtful essay on how we can all actively pursue our own enlightenment.

Return to the world of criminal profiler Maggie O’Dell, in book 3 of the thrilling series by bestselling author Alex Kava. In a secluded cabin six young men stage a deadly standoff with FBI agents. In a wooded area near the FDR Memorial in Washington, the body of a senator’s daughter is discovered. For FBI Special Agent Maggie O’Dell, there is nothing routine about being called in to work these two cases. As an expert criminal profiler, Maggie provides psychological insight on cases that involve suspected serial killers. She can’t understand, then, why she has been assigned to two seemingly unrelated crimes. But as Maggie and her partner, Special Agent R. J. Tully, delve deeper into the cases, they discover there is a connection: Reverend Joseph Everett, the charismatic leader of a high-profile religious sect. The men holed up in the cabin were members of Everett’s church, and the murder of the young woman took place following one of Everett’s rallies. Is Everett a psychotic madman who uses his power to perform heinous crimes? Or is he merely the scapegoat for a killer more cunning than he? Maggie realizes the only way to find out is by using her own mother, a member of Everett’s church, as a pawn in a deadly trap. Originally published in 2002

God’s Angels: His Ministering Spirits is clearly the work of a mature, highly educated and experienced author. Dr. Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) produced the book toward the end of his life, after he had given strong leadership in church matters, founded a university and also a Christian political party, and served as Prime Minister of the Netherlands. His extensive writing in the areas of theology and the Christian life-view prepared him finally to focus on the subject of angels. It was a privilege and a challenge for me to make this highly significant book available to the English speaking people. The book pursues all sorts of facets in the life of angels. From when they were created to what their task really entails. The falling into sin of a large number of angels is important for the human race. Why is there a Satan? Do people have a guardian angel? Will the angels be there when we die? Many questions are answered. This book will make the readers think and become enriched with greater Biblical and practical knowledge.
