Book Description
The first Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history–but the second civil war is worse. When Texas secedes from the Union, Henry and Suzanne Wilkins are as broken as the rest of America. They are breaking up, hurting, and longing for a way to make it right. Then Henry's clandestine counter-terror unit is ambushed and they must get home, crossing the bleeding country, hunted by the relentless and powerful Directors who will stop at nothing to prevent him from revealing the conspiracy that triggered the war. From the snow-swept slopes of the Rocky Mountains, to mangrove swamps deep in the Everglades back-country, Henry and Suzanne must protect what they love, facing terrible truths about themselves and those they trusted most. They are America–flawed and betrayed–but worth fighting for.

Book Description
A splendid exploration of faith against great odds and love that endures years of disappointment. Abraham and Sarah is a masterful historical drama from the moment that Abraham strides into the pagan temple to rescue Sarah. The couple sets out in search of the blessings God had promised: abundant fertile land and decedents more plentiful than the stars. But years of wandering bring the couple to Egypt, where once again Abraham convinces Sarah that as sister and brother surely they will pass safely through the territory. But Pharaoh takes Sarah into his harem, where she befriends Pharaoh’s daughter, Hagar. Together the three are ordered to leave. Years of barrenness have embittered Sarah, and she hatches a plan: Hagar must become the vessel for the child God has promised. Ishmael is born to Hagar, and jealousy is born in Sarah’s heart. But God had a plan and He was right all along. This miracle unfolds with historical authenticity, leaving the reader with a better understanding of the ancient world and the life-changing faith of Abraham and Sarah.

Book Description
- Abraham s Tears - is the story about a Palestinian/Muslim family living near Detroit, an Israeli/Jewish family living near LA, an Australian/Christian and German/Atheist-Bahai families who, without knowing each other, independently arrive in the same place in Jerusalem, at the same time and experience the same horrific event. The survivors follow Mohandas Gandhi advice, An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind and seek to work to live together in peace rather than seek retaliation or retribution. Jamil Mansour and Jacob Goodman each learn something about their heritage which causes them to reassess exactly what religion is to them. Because of a biology/genetics college course Jamil who grew up believing he was a Shiite learns he was actually born a Sunni which he hated and repeatedly badmouthed. Jacob, who had been Bar Mitzvah and was now serving in the IDF, needed to have his blood tested to see if was a suitable bone marrow donor because his sister had aplastic anemia and learns he was adopted. He had been born to an Arab Muslim family! While the conventional wisdom that the Middle East conflict is either due to the ethnicity differences between Israelis and Palestinians or religious differences between Jews and Muslims, or both, a reasoned argument is set forth that Middle East conflict is neither an issue of ethnicity nor of religion but rather a matter that one party has something that they both want.

Book Description
In this historical accounting of the great patriarch, Meyer concentrates on the development of Abraham’s faith through the difficult times and successes and victories of his life. Abraham’s trust in God was strong when he left his father’s homeland; He learned even more fully to rely on God rather than himself, which is why he became the father of faith. Meyer delivers to his readers Abraham’s life with detailed attention to archaeological discoveries and cultural customs. However, he is also very focused on the spiritual principles for readers. The outcome is a complex portrait of one of the most significant characters in the Bible, a devotional biography for those who are “by faith, children of Abraham.”

Book Description
This first verse-by-verse commentary on the Greek text of the Testament of Abraham places the work within the history of both Jewish and Christian literature. It emphasizes the literary artistry and comedic nature of the Testament, brings to the task of interpretation a mass of comparative material, and establishes that, although the Testament goes back to a Jewish tale of the first or second century CE, the Christian elements are much more extensive than has previously been realized. The commentary further highlights the dependence of the Testament upon both Greco-Roman mythology and the Jewish Bible. This should be the standard commentary for years to come.
