What happens when everything you believe about your Purpose comes apart at the seams? Steven Mollison has been many things-he's been a student, a soldier, a police officer, and even a mystical shaper of shadows. But with the door between worlds slammed shut in his face, he and all of the other Children of the Line must consider the possibility that their future is not the grand adventure that was prophesied. After months of living mundane lives back home, the glimmering possibility emerges of a way back once more into the Spiral of Worlds. But what perils await along this new road, and what discoveries lurk in the shadows that will test Steven and his friends? When all the forces of destiny have been turned aside, what choices will be made by these young people as the darkness of the Rot closes its grip on the eight worlds? The battle to turn back the Foreverot begins here, and Steven stands at its center.

Book Description
People may wonder why I got a cover on my book like I do. Well, all through my life, I come to realize no matter what I went and got myself into, the Good Lord has had me in the palm of His hand the entire time. I titled my book All in Time because all in time, being behind prison walls gave me time to think and get my mind right. And on the other hand, all in time, everything will eventually fall together in life. So I would look at it both ways, and that's why I decided to use that title for my book. Once you read this book, it will make sense to you for the way I do things the way I did. No one has pushed life more to the limit than I have at times, but now it's time to sit back and enjoy life for what it is.

Book Description
What happens when six naïve, immature, unprepared college students go to a costume photo shop at different times to have their picture taken? They get transported to an alternate world where they then realize they should have listened much closer to the couple taking their pictures. They find themselves thrown together in life-or-death situations where they either pull together or perish. It takes days before they finally figure out that what they had chosen to wear is what they would have to survive on their trip through the magical Kingdom of Felgar. There are kings and queens of several kingdoms within this world of islands. Along the way, they will meet ladies and bandits, dragons and fairies, wizards, evil sorcerers, pirates, and creatures never seen before. Trees and plants that are alive and beings so horrible that they can frighten your soul from within you! This place is a real hell on earth, and they had to be prepared to deal with all the situations that came about. What they put on, held on to, and carried was all they had to survive in this strange and very deadly, beautiful, mysterious medieval world. What they didn’t have or needed they could buy, trade, or even kill for. The group finally reaches a point they understand they must complete the mission given to them to topple the Dark Lizard Priest and free the Kingdom of Felgar from his grasp before they are able to return home to their own world.

Book Description
High Stakes, Deep Faith, and Unbreakable Brotherhood They were the first No. 1 seed in NFL history to enter the playoffs as an underdog. Their star quarterback was out with a season-ending knee injury. Five-time Super Bowl champions the New England Patriots towered over them. But public opinion didn't matter to the Philadelphia Eagles. They believed in each other. The band of Christian brothers on the team believed in the God of the impossible, and they played for an audience of One. The most extensive book to explore the Christian faith shared by many of the team's players, Birds of Pray details the incredible inside story behind the Eagles' capture of the biggest prize in professional sports: the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Through exclusive interviews with the players, never-before-seen photos, and insider accounts of the miracle season's most memorable moments, Philly native and Associated Press sportswriter Rob Maaddi reveals a side of the team the world has yet to fully witness. From an impromptu baptism in the team's cold tub to weekly Bible studies and pre-game prayers, to the unique friendship between star quarterback Carson Wentz and back-up-then-MVP Nick Foles - the Eagles excel in the unexpected. Birds of Pray follows the deep faith shared among players, the high stakes they faced together, and their relentless reliance on Christ who gives all strength in moments of crisis and celebration alike. The result is a boldly inspiring, entertaining read that will challenge readers to go deeper in their faith, dream bigger, and live with renewed courage for whatever odds life stacks against them.

Book Description
"A remarkable, poignant collection." —Choice "This oral history of black Madison is an invaluable primary document for students, general readers, and scholars. Interestingly it illuminates the white side of Madison as much as it reveals about what transpired in the black community." —Darlene Clark Hine, from the Foreword Twenty Black residents of a small Ohio River town here tell the stories of their lives. Madison, though in the North, had its cultural roots in the south, and for most of the twentieth century the town was strictly segregated. In their own words, Black men and women of Madison describe the deprivations of discrimination in their hometown: what it meant, personally and culturally, to be denied opportunities for participation in the educational, economic, political, and social life of the white community. And they describe how they created a community of their own, strong and viable, self-sustaining and mutually supportive of its members.
