Jack Richardson carries himself as though he owns the world. In reality, he is laying claim to an increasing portion of it. A thirty-six-year-old multibillionaire, he has purchased a tiny island, Atlantica, whose inhabitants enjoy a lifestyle that stands in complete opposition to Western civilization.
Liz Lyons needs a job, and she wants to put as much distance between herself and her ex-husband as possible. When Jack offers her a teaching position in Atlantica, she jumps at the opportunity. She is more than willing to live in a primitive society for a few years if it means earning double her previous salary. Liz is immediately drawn to Jack, who appears to return her feelings despite their vast differences in wealth and upbringing. But she also is drawn to the Atlanticans' way of life, which is based on personal autonomy and deep spiritual connectedness. As she becomes more and more involved with Jack and with the Atlantican people, Liz realizes that she will need to make a choice.
Will she remain forever in the first place where she has ever truly belonged, or return to civilization with the man she loves?
Letters from Love is a seven-novel saga that tells five fresh and engaging love stories. Spanning almost five hundred years, the series will give you a new appreciation for your own glorious potential.
Although Liz Lyons and Jack Richardson never stopped loving one another, their lives have taken them in different directions. Liz remains in Atlantica, a tiny island far removed from Western civilization, while Jack has returned to New York to look after his business interests. When Jack brings his family to the United States in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, old feelings resurface. They give their marriage another chance.
The couple's son, Rex, doesn't adapt well to the move. Having spent the first twenty-three years of his life in a society that doesn't acknowledge even the concept of ownership, he is stunned to find himself the sole heir to a fortune in the tens of billions. He is appalled by the spiritual isolation and lack of personal autonomy at the core of American existence.
As Rex learns to cope with his new life, he brings a fresh perspective to Jack's business affairs, and eventually to Jack's whole worldview. With Rex as the driving force, Jack begins to use his wealth to try to revitalize and restore America. Can the spiritual wounds of a bitterly divided nation be healed through the efforts of one family?

In this adventure mystery, an ancient manuscript is discovered, providing written confirmation of the Lotus Cross. This first century artifact carries traces of the risen Christ's blood, and its existence has been a secret for over a thousand years.
The Lotus Cross has its origins in Christ's resurrection. As Christ rose from the dead in 33 AD, the apostles and Jesus' followers rejoiced. Yet as history records, Thomas the Apostle did not witness the event and questioned the resurrection of his teacher. To placate his doubt, eight days after the resurrection, Doubting Thomas, as he would later become known, came into the presence of the risen Christ. "He touched the hands that had been nailed to the cross," writes author Ray Anderson. "And thrust his fingers into the wound made by the sword of a Roman soldier."
His doubt replaced by faith, Thomas spread the early Christian faith into the East, establishing his church in India in 54 AD. He had a bronze vessel forged to contain the preserved blood of Christ. He called it the Lotus Cross, because the cross holding the pouch with traces of the blood was fashioned upon a base shaped as a lotus flower. In the seventh century the Lotus Cross was moved to China and Christianity flourished. In the ninth century the Lotus Cross was hidden to protect it from those seeking to destroy it. It would remain lost until a recent discovery.
In an age of advanced scientific techniques and recombinant DNA analysis, the blood-flecked pouch hidden within the Lotus Cross could yield the key to the second coming of Christ. Professor Michael Drake sets off to find the ancient artifact. With the help of other archaeologists, the British Secret Service and members of a secret Christian group, he uncovers the secret within the Lotus Cross, but not without great risk.
RAY ANDERSON is an ordained minister in the United Centers for Spiritual Living, an organization based on the teachings of Ernest Holmes. Throughout his life, he has studied philosophy and several religious faiths including Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Judaism. He lives in Santa Rosa, California.

First in an all-new series of mysteries that could happen only in Tokyo...
Yumi Hata went to school in the U.S., but now—back in Tokyo, living with her parents and working as an English translator—she no longer fits in with the fiercely traditional Japanese. If not for her friend Rika, Yumi would feel completely isolated, so when Rika is found dead—suspected of jisatsu, taking part in a suicide pact—Yumi is devastated.
Fortunately, the police investigator in charge of Rika’s case is Yumi’s old schoolmate Kenji, who also wants to clear Rika’s name. As Yumi and Kenji dig up more evidence, they discover that Rika’s “suicide” is not what it seemed.
Chasing Rika’s murderer, Yumi and Kenji encounter doll-faced Lolita fashionistas, trendy bars inhabited by the social elite, and the dark side of a suicide pact website. The clock is ticking as they race to find the killer before the next victim is targeted...
Includes more than two dozen photos of Japan!
The use of an "over-theme" is difficult to describe, but this is the method God used in these six chapters. The "over-theme" in chapters 21-23 is a positive assurance to His people, that no matter what is going on around them---there is an end to it! They can be assured that "through it all" there is a forthcoming victory. The "over-theme" in chapters 24-27 is in the form of multiple Songs. The righteous, the redeemed of the Lord, are heard singing above the tragic events of history. Above the clashing swords, above the bloody ground and cries and groans of men, there rises praise to God.
We will steer our study over four chapters reviewing several of the enemies of Israel. Beginning with Babylon in Chapter 13, it is necessary to point out, not only the accuracy of the Prophet, but the long timeline. (Sometimes the prophet reaches into the future for over 100 years and is "on the money" historically. This prompts biblical critics to declare there are many Isaiah writers who voice their work in this book. Don't believe them.)
Frightening Look At The Future That's Both Funny And Romantic!
Plenty of Chills & Thrills for Both Horror AND Romance Fans!

After a night out at their favorite Manhattan club, Mallory Alexandria is kidnapped right in front of her soul mate, Zachary Zemeritus. Zachary calls the law and the nearest cop bot, Chief Inspector Anthony Borgnine, buzzes to the scene.
☠
❝Zach hung up and gazed at the police bot, its blue-metallic casing shining in the early dawn, as it descended with deliberation to hover at about Zach's eye height. 'Well now, citizen,' the bot squawked. 'It would appear we have work to do!'❞
☠
The year is 2035 and Earth is under attack by giant demons from outer space!
Demons as tall as houses with multiple heads, arms, and legs.
☠
❝The eyes on the first of its three heads had a serpent's split pupils, puke green. The eyes on the second head (which grew not beside the first head, but on top of it the way a cyst would) were as red as a poison frog's. The third head was stacked on top of its brothers, but this head was not worth talking about. It was a baby's head--and it was dead.❞
☠
As they search for Mallory, Zach and Borgnine are attacked by one of these demons and Zachary winds up in the hospital. With most of his bones broken and his insides crushed, Zach slips into a coma, close to death.

Expert scientists and surgeons from around the globe arrive to operate on Zachary, turning him into something more machine than man. He can fly, deflect bullets, and is all but indestructible. However, his memory is gone -- he doesn't know who he is or why he's now metallic.
