Book Description
The War of 1812 comes to life through the eyes of a young Canadian boy. It's 1812. War has begun, and thirteen-year-old Alexander (Sandy) MacKay is jealous when his older brother Angus goes off with their father to fight the Americans attacking the Niagara region. Too young to know the darker side of battle, he resents being left to shoulder the work on his family's farm. Itching to get in on the action, he sneaks away from home and heads to Lundy's Lane to join up with the local militia. But battle is imminent, and now there's not much his father can do except try to shield him from the worst of the fighting. Sandy's idealized notions of what battle will be like are shattered when the man standing before him is killed by a musket ball and Sandy's own brother is severely wounded. At the battle of Lundy's Lane, the united Canadian/British forces turn the tide against the American troops, but Sandy comes to know how chilling war can be. Just in time for the bicentennial of the War of 1812, A Call to Battle is a sobering look at the realities of war. Author Gillian Chan skillfully depicts the transformation of an impetuous young boy, full of boyish enthusiasm, into a more realistic young man who emerges on the other side of war.

Book Description
At an early age, Kadence Kasden gave into Satan and accepted the plans he had for her. Since battling rejection from childhood from her mother and her peers at school, Satan seemed like the only refuge and safety from the trials she walked through on a daily basis. Instead of making her life easier it slowly started shifting down a downward spiral from demonic visitations, witchcraft, and psychic power to eventually becoming a servant to Satan. A Call to Battle is directed to anyone who has ever struggled with rejection, hopelessness, or don't believe they can break Satan's controlling powers over their lives. Kadence's story offers hope and shows how Jesus Christ can rescue and save anyone who is walking alongside the pit of hell. Instead of being one of Satan's servant's, Kadence is now marching in the army of God, demonstrating to the lost the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.

Book Description
The moment we come to faith in Jesus Christ, we are enrolled into battle against the unholy trinity; the world, the flesh, and the devil. And all too many men are AWOL (absent without leave) in their walk with the Lord. Spiritually, they are missing in action. A Call to Arms is about the challenges all Christian men face in this battle and the ways our enemy goes about to subvert our growth and obedience to the call of God in our lives. It is addressed to Christian men who have struggled in their walk with the Lord, just as the author, Stephen, has. The battle with our old nature is honestly addressed, as are the brokenness of divorce, loneliness, and other areas of woundedness within us. A look at the beauty of brokenness is addressed, noting that there are redemptive qualities suffering can bring about in our lives. Renewal for the hearts, minds, and souls of men can come only by the transforming power of the Word of God. Included after each chapter is a 5-day study guide to help us to examine our own heart and deepen our understanding of both the material covered and about ourselves.

Book Description
A UNIVERSE GONE DARK… Months have passed since the interplanetary communications net was destroyed, isolating planets across the Republic of the Sphere and beyond. Achernar is one of the few worlds that still possesses a working Hyperpulse Generator Station, a device that enables communications across the galaxy—and a highly sought-after prize for the splintering factions of the Republic... After failing to qualify as an active MechWarrior, Raul Ortega finds solace in the Republic’s military reserves on Archenar, and dreams of the day he might know the adventure and glory of real combat. The planet’s Republic-loyal forces are supported by a loose alliance with the Swordsworn, a faction pledged to House Davion—whose leaders have an agenda all their own. When the planet falls under siege by yet another splinter group, the Steel Wolves, who are intent on capturing the HPG station, Raul is called up to active duty. But when the Swordsworn desert Archenar in its time of need, Raul discovers there’s little honor in the subtle schemes of treachery and the brutal realities of war...
