Book excerpt: The first in The Wolf Chronicles trilogy, brilliantly weaving together original research, lovable characters and a dynamic, thoroughly engaging plot, Promise of the Wolves is a historical adventure story in the tradition of Clan of the Cave Bear and Watership Down. Set 14,000 years ago in what is now Southern Europe, Promise of the Wolves is told from the point of view of Kaala, a young wolf born of a forbidden, mixed-blood litter. An outcast after her mother is exiled, Kaala struggles to earn her place in her pack. But her world is turned upside down when she rescues a human girl from drowning. Kaala and her young packmates begin hunting and playing with humans—risking expulsion from their pack and banishment from their home in the Wide Valley. When war between humans and wolves threatens, Kaala learns that she is the last in a long line of wolves charged with keeping watch over humans in order to prevent them from losing touch with nature and thus destroying the world. But to do so she must solve the great paradox of wolfkind: though wolves must always be with humans, humans cannot abide the presence of wolves, and every time the two come together, war ensues. Kaala must choose between safety for herself, her friends, and their human companions and the survival of her pack—and perhaps all of wolf and humankind.

Download or read book Pathway To Promise written by James Brunetto and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt stuck? Have you ever felt as though there are more of God's promises to be had but something keeps you from moving toward them? It's a place in life where your God-given goals, dreams, and desires seem unobtainable, a place where growth has ceased and you can't seem to get past the plateau of complacency or mediocracy. Whether it's in your marriage, your career, your church, or ministry, there are always new levels of life, faith, and ministry that God wants us to experience. We must understand however, that our journey to the promises of God will not be an easy one. As Christians, we have been placed on a Pathway to Promise; but the enemy will do everything in his power to steal, kill, and destroy our ability to move forward on this path and reach our promises. Pathway to Promise first looks at the early days of the life of David. As we take an in-depth look at the epic battle between David and Goliath, we will see certain principles established in his life that allowed him to live the life of an overcomer, and it will teach us how to overcome the enemy that continually stands between us and the promises of God. We will also explore the principles displayed early in Jesus's life that allowed him to move in power as he did. Our pathway to promise ultimately leads us to heaven, but God's will is for us to bring as many people as possible with us. In the second half of this book, we will use the early days of Jesus's life and ministry as an outline in discovering how we too can Move in Power as Christ calls us. David's life teaches us to overcome the enemy that comes against us, but Jesus's life teaches us to overcome the enemy that comes against others. Galatians 6:12 teaches us that our struggles in life are the result of the spiritual forces of evil that continually come against us. Therefore, as God's children who have been placed on a pathway to promise, learning to overcome is one of the most important lessons we can learn. Pathway to Promise: Learning to Overcome is a practical guide designed to help us overcome the spiritual forces of evil trying to keep us from the promises of God.

She describes how anger was extremely prevalent in her life and how parent alienation, manipulation, and vindictive behavior can tear a family apart. Years of secrets, lies, deceit, and the final decision to give it all up and muster the courage to decide that enough was enough was the beginning of healing in her life. Her journey to hope and healing, filled with biblical Scriptures and prayer, helped her overcome the trials and tribulations she faced. She reveals that the promise was always in apartment 2A, how this promise truly impacted her life, and how it took her to a place of healing.
