The ELLIOT TWINS enjoy mischief, and while they are indeed twins, there is nothing similar about them. JUDAH is tough and fearless. JENNIFER is timid and afraid of everything When the twins lose their parents in the most "unexplainably odd accident the town has ever seen," the Twins must count on each other and Auntie Bella to get by. Casting Shadows opens on the twins' twelfth birthday, but Jennifer only wants a pity party. While she waits for a pot of water on the stove to boil, her mind wanders back to better days. Before she knows what's happening, a voice rises from the water and whisks her away to the dark land of Trilleah. When she discovers that Judah and Auntie Bella have been there before, she is furious and demands answers. It is here--in Trillleah-- where she and the others must navigate carefully. To succeed in the land and get out again with their souls still intact, the twins must learn to listen to the voices of the Shailmas, especially when it makes no sense whatsoever. Even though the twins have known from the time of their parent's death that there were odd and unexplainable circumstances surrounding the accident, they never gave it a second thought. That is, not until arriving in Trilleah that they learn that the accident was not an accident at all but a well-planned scheme to destroy the twins before they could destroy Trilleah It is here where Judah and Jennifer learn the truth of the accident. While their Daddy's soul went straight to heaven, Mamma was not so fortunate and lost her soul to the Trows. Those evil Trows stole her soul and locked it away in the Malleanna Forest with countless other Waiting Ones. Through all sorts of terrible tragedies and confusing conundrums, the travelers become trapped by SHRAILZHAR, King of the Trilleah. The dreadful King is well aware of those who have invaded his land to break the curse of the Waiting Ones--the curse made from blood and fire. There is nothing he will not do to stop them. Casting Shadows has been called "A perfect blend of JK Rowlings and CS Lewis." With paranormal activity and allegorical fantasy but without magic and sorcery, it is a must-read for every young reader.

The Gates of Solstice have opened, but while the Shailmas have summoned the Travelers, King Shrailzhar has gathered his warriors. The King has finally found the portal gate and set a mystifying trap to keep the curse breakers out of his dark land. Getting into Trilleah will test the strength of Judah, Jennifer, and the others; getting back out will require a part of themselves they might not be willing to give.Caught in a Labyrinth that even the Living Maps overlooked, this might be as far as the Travelers ever get to breaking the curse of Malleana Forest. Only one will see the way out once trapped in Shrailzhar's impervious Labyrinth. Only one will hear the voice telling the way. Only one will believe the unbelievable. Only one will know that, to move ahead, they must go all the way back. Will the others follow? Or will that one have to go alone?

Loving the wounded is easy; loving the poor, doable. But what about loving the Believer in the pew across the aisle? Or harder still the ones in the church down the street? Those we call brothers and sisters? How about the single mother causing a ruckus; the poor man in the back row? Now that's where the rubber meets the road--where it gets tough--the nitty gritty of it all.Those are for whom Christ is returning. We know the Love Chapter but do we apply it?It's powerless if all we do is quote it or frame it and hang it on the wall.It's time for the church to come together in unity. After all, the unbeliever will know us by our love for one another. It's the unity of the Believers that will draw them to Christ. It's time to drop our judgments against those different from us; those who worship differently or dress differently or even think a bit differently than we think. If we believe Jesus is Lord, that makes us siblings. We need to start acting like it. Unity is where strength will be found.The power of unity is the power that will change the world. The sword we must learn to wield is the sword of a unified body. That's for whom Christ is coming. It's time to stand together. Love together. Worship together. Be strong together. On our own, we fall ... united we stand. Culture of Love is a blueprint carrying us back to the Church of Acts, where the church was the Church of Jesus Christ. Over time, the body of believers has been dumbed down to the point of being ineffective; that's about to change. Will our world spiralling out of control, God is calling the end time army to rise up. Culture of Love is the marching orders for that army.

"What if everything you thought to be true, wasn't?" Emet heard whisperings in the air utter the words he wasn't sure were meant for his mortal ears. "If all you've been taught was a lie, painstakingly crafted to deceive you and the others, would you even care?" Emet knew unquestionably now that the air--or whoever dwelled in its clutches--was indeed speaking to him. So after far too little thought, he answered. "I'd care." "Would you care enough to warn the others, no matter the cost?" the voice from the unseen realm wondered of the man lying cozy and snuggled in his bed. "I suppose I would, yes." "We shall see ... we shall see." It was the last words he heard before his eyes were closed by a hand he neither saw nor felt. Nevertheless, Emet unknowingly had agreed to a journey he'd forever wish he never took, for the responsibility of it would weigh painfully heavy on the poor man.

Jesus said to count it all joy when we face trials of many kinds, and in this life, none of us gets through without facing trials. The word also says that we can do all things through Him who gives us strength and that the same power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us What if it's the combination of trials infused with the strength of Christ, that generates the power within us? What if all we've been trying to escape from is what we should be embracing? We only experience Jesus to the extent of our need, and isn't experiencing Him what we want? Knowing Him isn't enough; we want to experience Him. If you've ever wondered if there is more to the Believer's life, let me assure you, there is. You can be unordinary, unstoppable, and unlimited in this life. All you must do is lay your life down and pick up His. Welcome to life without limits.

"It's the only way, my dear Tobias," King Jesiah reminded his one and only son. "Yes. Yes, you must leave straightaway." The kind did not want for his son to have to go and leave the kingdom, but he knew it was the only way to rescue the Deplorables. They were a wicked bunch, those ones who dwelt outside of the kingdom, but King Jesiah loved them more than he loved his own life. He needed them to be brought into the land he had built for them. Sending his own son to rescue them was the only way to bring those broken and wayward people into the kingdom and keep them safe from the trecherous storm--the storm they refused to acknowledge was coming even though they'd been made aware of it many times. Tobias would do his best, but in the young prince's mind, it was doubtful that he would return to the kingdom--or his father--again.

We have been deceived, but a Great Awakening is happening now in the Body of Christ. It's time to come alive and recognize the church has not been immune to the agenda of the New World Order. The decption runs deep because the enemy knows, if the NWO is to be accepted, the Body of Christ has to become weak, afraid, and asleep. Jesus never instructed us to GO to church; He instructed us to BE the church. The time is here to break free from the web of deception and evil agendas that have been woven through the Church. It's time to wake from the slumber; the Great Awakening is here.

An eerie silence enveloped the room like a winter mist cloaking the moon. The old group was reluctant to speak of the hell that had unfolded here-in The Cove-while the new group preferred to remain ignorant. However, one painfully thin, nameless girl stood up from where Jennison continued to lean against the wall; it was impossible to tell if she was alive or dead. As the nameless girl stepped forward, everyone took a step back, making space for her as she prepared to reveal the secrets of The Cove. She approached Hadassah and Alice, who stood close together, gripping each other tightly. Terror had settled deep within their souls, and it would linger there indefinitely. The girls braced themselves to hear what they already knew they would regret ever learning.
