In the Fire of Dawn
A vision of the end of an age plunges Timothy Johnston, reluctant prophet, ever more deeply into the secret conflict among Humans, the once-human Dhitha, and the vampiric, cannibalistic Veligit. Facing canonization as a high prophet, or stoning as a heretic, he fights to keep his ambitious mentor from claiming the Dhitha's vacant throne. When Timothy learns of a conspiracy to seize power on the earth, he must make a wrenching choice that may cost him all that he loves!

Kabbalah for Evangelical Christians
In the media these days, you, an Evangelical Christian, may come across puzzling references, open or concealed, to an ancient system of Jewish mysticism called Kabbalah.

Here, to help you understand a school of thought that is both far more ancient and far more influential than you may imagine, are some clear and reliable facts on Kabbalah. In learning about them, you'll have a chance to learn more of your own faith and practice!

The Light
In a world trapped in purposeless materialism of the here and now, some look for light to give their lives meaning. This light is the nature and manifestation of the Creator, Who brought this world into being, and to Whom it will return for judgment. Only in the Creator's light does true meaning appear.
Here, paraphrased and arranged from ancient Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, is the story of the Creator's light as it enters this world and changes all who willingly receive it. May the Light change you into what Eternity means for you to be!

Perryville
After a series of defeats in the West had driven Southern forces into Mississippi, their new commander, Braxton Bragg, daringly moves them by rail into eastern Tennessee. From there he and Edmund Kirby-Smith strike swiftly into Kentucky and win dazzling victories at Riohmond and Munfordville. Lexington and Frankfort fall to the South, and Louisville and Cincinnati are in danger. At a hitherto unknown hamlet called Perryville, Bragg meets the Union commander, Don Carlos Buell, in a battle whose survivors will call it more intense than Shiloh. The Battle of Perryville will determine Kentucky's fate, and perhaps America's.
Here, in verse as venerable as Beowulf, but as vivid as the Federals and Southrons who fought and died on parched pastures by a drought-stricken stream, is the tale of events that led to Perryville, the pathos and humor of the field of battle, and its aftermath of woe and triumph.

The Road to Bull Run
The passions and tension of the American Civil War's opening days come to life in this retelling in verse of the Siege of Fort Sumter and the First Battle of Bull Run. The fevered debate over slavery's abolition, a tumultuous presidential campaign, the drama of secession and a new nation's founding, and desperate attempts to make peace between a divided land's halves -- all come to a head on fields of blood. When battle's smoke clears, both North and South foresee that whatever peace can exist must be won at a cost once unimaginable.

A Convergence at Shiloh
In the second section of An Epic of the American Civil War, the South rides high on its victory at First Bull Run, while the North seeks renewed commitment to the cause of reunion. Lincoln prods reluctant generals to act, with only one success. In the East, a dilatory general-in-chief makes endless plans, but carries out none of them. In the West, a one-time failure turned warlord closes on the enemy. As battles rage across the West, all roads converge on Shiloh, a field of peach trees and a country church in western Tennessee -- a field where more American blood will be shed in two days of combat than had been shed in all of the nation's previous wars.

To Dream Atlantis
Obsessed by visions of Atlantis, a wealthy student of the occult is led by prophetic verses from continent to continent in quest of those who can further his knowledge of the foundered land. As he gathers around him a circle of adepts, he learns that his mission is no less than to raise the continent anew and restore to it a brilliant civilization cut off in a single day in its prime.
