Horizons Collide is a heart-wrenching coming of age story about Billy, a young man wrestling with his faith as he moves into adulthood, and his accidental trip to the distant past that causes a collision of customs, emotion, and faith. As a child, Billy’s life is wrought with the loss of loved ones, and he begins to wonder why a loving God would allow such things to happen. Raised in a devoutly spiritual family and amidst his deep internal angst, Billy is granted the unusual opportunity to travel back in time and correct the horror that ruined his life. But an accident during the transition puts him face to face with the one he blames most for everything. While Jesus can return him, Billy is told he must first grow in faith and soften his heart. He must find the innocence of his childhood and release his anger before he can begin his journey to return … to save his family … to save himself.
For young couples and singles who aspire to enter the institution of marriage and for couples who are currently married, separated, divorced, or widowed, it is important to know that it is possible to enjoy a lifelong, divorce-free marriage. For this to happen, an individual must understand the following concepts: Marriage is not man's invention; marriage is God's idea. The inventor of marriage (God) has provided a complete "manual" (the Bible) for marriage. For marriage to be at its best, a married couple must read, understand, embrace, and apply the concepts outlined in the Bible. The ultimate purpose of marriage is to demonstrate God's glory in the world. The God of the Bible is a God of second chances who understands our failures, freely offers His forgiveness for our failures through Jesus Christ, and gives us the opportunity to have a fresh start at life regardless of where we may be in life's journey. This book was written to provide guidance directly from the marriage inventor's perspective to everyone who aspires to be married or is currently married and offer hope to couples who are separated, divorced, or widowed. It provides clear biblical instruction and guidance in a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read study of all major aspects of marriage. The author, Dr. J. E. Samson, has spent several years teaching marriage classes and, together with his wife, leading marriage seminars and workshops at the local churches with which he has been associated. This book is a product of the study materials used in those classes, seminars, and workshops and perfect for use in Sunday school classes, workshops, individual study, or simply as a handy reference for personal study. At a time when at least half of all marriages end in divorce, Marriage--As God Intended It to Be offers a beacon for singles or couples seeking practical, biblical advice on how to have a lasting marriage.
One week. One prize. Seven really weird challenges. The kids at Benjamin Banneker College Prep are a little. . . competitive. Okay. They're a LOT competitive.

The book opens the door on the true nature of evil and its origins, this is continued in the sequel Sold Out Too. We all have free will, and we all have a moral compass, based on our own morals and beliefs we hopefully use our free will to do the right thing, how much leverage or inducement would need to be applied or offered before you sold out on your own principals and beliefs? As the story unfolds, Steve finds himself facing the most horrendous of choices, when he is presented with a heart wrenching and almost perfect moral dilemma. Steve tries to find a way out of, or around his situation, what will he choose to do? Is there a right thing to do? Is it more a case of which choice is the most palatable?Can there be a happy ending for any of those embroiled in this dire situation?A story of love, loss, deceit, bad decisions, and impossible choices. This book is a rollercoaster of twists and turns, emotionally charged and with a fast pace, which will hopefully keep you turning the pages and asking yourself; What would I do?The story leaves some subtle clues and lays some crumbs as to the nature of the hard-hitting sequel Sold Out Too, which is an uncompromising story of revenge against the backdrop of an uncomfortable subject, which astute readers should pick up on in Sold Out Soul Doubt.Sold Out Too takes elements from both Sold Out Soul Doubt and the spin-off, The Reticent Witch. Both books start to move more to dark fiction and horror while maintaining the premise of Sold Out Soul Doubt, and further exploring the true source and nature of evil. Genre and historyIt has been interesting for me to speak to readers and find out which characters they loved or hated. It seems that the journey is different for everyone as they try and work out whether a character is inherently good but misguided or whether they are not the person they would like to believe that they are.Sold Out Soul Doubt is a story that I have had in mind for some twenty years or so. I finally made a proper start on it in 2018-what a journey it was, as well as a very steep learning curve.The story is absolutely a cross-genre affair, the central theme is that of romantic thriller, with one foot in the camp of dark fiction and one particular chapter that may well be construed as horror, there is also an undertow of supernatural intervention.Who will you love, loath or hate? Who will you sympathise with and who will you feel gets precisely what they deserve? More interestingly who will you find yourself aligning with? You might be surprised
