This book is written out of a deep desire to share with people a magnificent truth that has been lost in mainstream Christianity for about 1,800 years. It is called 'The Gospel of the Restoration of All Things' or 'Christian Universalism', which is the belief that every person who has ever lived, is living or will live in the future will ultimately be saved and reunited with God through the person and work of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. In this book, Tim Hodge gives a thorough Biblical discourse to show that not only was this the original gospel as taught by the church but that the Bible itself teaches this, even while being taken literally - and shows that God has a good plan for every person no matter where they stand with God, anywhere on Earth or at any time in History.
Unintentional time traveller Arthur Pound, the snooty Professor Anvil and an aging sage find themselves travelling together to find a lost legion of warriors somewhere in the North Atlantic Ocean. During an expedition with the Professor's flying prototype, they must evade the clutches of the jealous Baron von Posch and the Kaiser's royal guard whilst far below them, in the ocean waters, a far greater menace is growing in strength.The mighty Vendra warriors' battleship becomes an unwelcoming home for the trio, while the catacombs within the Floating Rocks uncover surprises with every step. Arthur finds himself defending his innocence from the magical Order of Sight, whilst his companions explore the Vendra's massive fortress including their library which holds a disturbing secret. A larger threat raises its head in the form of hideous hibernating creatures with a devious plan involving summoning a monster from the very depths of the ocean. Will Arthur and his team have to join forces with the Vendra to defeat the lizard witches or do the mysterious Lamia have another even more monstrous secret to unleash on the world?
