Book excerpt: A dramatic journey through a present tense view of Tom Sanders, whos an Afro-American archaeologist that will unknowingly rip open the theory of time travel. When hes assigned a mission that will set his life on an innovative path after the undiscovered territory to save a life. A primeval Mayan Indian tribe that once populated a metropolis deep in the jungle of Mexico vanished off the face of the earth thousands of years ago. Volatile and degrading scenarios set a platform for a perilous adventure when four destinies collide at the intersection of life. Tom Sanders a retired Navy Seal and infamous archaeologist is called upon by Dr. Baldwin; the director of a New York museum to find the Mayan lost city of Tikal. Tom is pushed to the edge of his breaking point when several members of his crew suffer horrendous deaths caused by uncanny events. He must find resolve when turmoil comes from just around the next corner. Tom Sanders calls on his beloved friend Susan Anderson for her invaluable expertise in deciphering ancient glyphs.

During this journey, his feelings cultivate even stronger for her as they make the biggest discovery of their careers. Calamity strikes Susan at the hands of a sadistic religious fanatic; Peter Stanley, who believes that he has his own kingdom waiting for him in heaven. Another close friend, Jon Henderson gets himself into a big dilemma dealing with a lethal Russian mobster (Mr. Keloff), as desperation comes to a boil; Jon makes matters worse by naively stealing a cursed artifact from Tom in order to save his own skin.

The book goes beyond an aesthetic depiction of the photographs; it also deals with the history of their use and function within one of the biggest anti-fascist movements in Europe during the Second World War.

Download or read book Heir s Journey of Promise written by David O. Daulton and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very often, the Father gives to His children special presents! They are given, along with thousands of other blessings, on a daily basis, and if we are truly honest with ourselves and look at these presents, we will be all the more grateful! This is an account based on the facts presented in the Bible, and largely on the prophetic Scriptures. I realize that many in the church-those who claim to be Christians-will not allow themselves to believe on these Scriptures. This is heartbreaking, for I believe this will be to their great harm! This book will try to convince the reading Christian of how truly dear he or she is to the Father, and how He longs for us to be close to Him in His Son. (And no, it isn't inspired, but God did through His Word turn the lights on!) This is more than a bedtime story for children of all ages. My hope is that it will be a great encouragement-for though we may grow a bit weary in our journey, we still enjoy the good fight. We are very dear to the One who has already won it, and He looks forward to greeting us on the other side . . . And men everywhere should seek Him with a new zeal, for He will soon rise to shake violently the earth! Even so, come Lord Jesus!
Download or read book The Life and Death of Planet Earth written by Peter D. Ward and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planet Earth is middle-aged. Science has worked hard to piece together the story of the evolution of our world up to this point, but only recently have we developed the understanding and the tools to describe the entire life cycle of a planet. Ward and Brownlee, a geologist and an astronomer respectively, combine their knowledge of how the critical sustaining systems of our planet evolve through time with their understanding of the life cycles of stars and solar systems, to tell the story of the second half of Earth's life. The process of evolution will essentially reverse itself: life as we know it will subside until only the simplest forms remain. Eventually, they too will disappear. The oceans will evaporate, the atmosphere will degrade, and, as the sun slowly expands, Earth itself will eventually meet a fiery end. --From publisher description.
