With the so-called end of the Mayan calendar fast approaching, fourteen-year-old Max Murphy and his new friend Lola, the modern Maya girl who saved his life in the perilous jungle, are racing against time to outwit the twelve Lords of Death. Following the trail of the conquistadors, their quest takes them back to the wild heart of Spain - a forgotten land steeped in legend, superstition and ever more bizarre tourist festivals. With a pack of hellhounds on their heels and the cape-twirling Count Antonio de Landa in hot pursuit, the teens must face madness and betrayal, bluff and double-bluff, to uncover the terrible secrets of the long-lost Yellow Jaguar. But no matter where they run, all roads lead to Xibalba. There, in the cold and watery Maya underworld, we finally discover why only Max Murphy can save the world from the villainous Lords of Death.

A hurricane is brewing in the jungles of the Maya, and the ancient Death Lords are on the warpath. Across the world in Venice, Italy, hanging out with his blogger friend Nasty (Anastasia) Smith-Jones and eating Pizza Gelato, Max Murphy thinks he is safe from their clutches. But when a rogue octopus pulls him off his gondola and tries to drag him down to the underworld, Max realizes that the Death Lords aren't finished with him yet. Soon Max is back in Central America and reunited with the only ones who can help him in his battle―Lola, the mysterious Maya girl, and the howler monkeys Lord 6-Dog and Lady Coco. Once again it's up to the four of them to save the world as they fight off mutant cave spiders, zombie warriors, and, of course, the twelve villainous Death Lords. With the hurricane about to hit land, Max and Lola embark on a one-way journey to danger down the blighted Monkey River. They take shelter in a subterranean hotel, only to stumble upon Death Lord central. Torn between rescuing themselves and rescuing one of the last wild jaguars of the Monkey River region, Max and Lola find themselves drawn into an ever more bizarre series of tests, culminating in a terrifying ballgame that they can never win. The River of No Return is filled with the same outrageous humor, heart-stopping action, and fascinating details of Maya culture that fans of the Jaguar Stones series have come to love. Readers will be on the edge of their seats as secrets about their favorite characters come to light while Max and Lola try to stop the world from ending . . . at least for now.

Find peace in life without blaming God for your pain, even if you're mad at "The Church." Here's how... Does it feel like there's more pain in your life than there should be?Do you catch yourself frequently blaming God when things go wrong?Maybe something traumatic happened in your life to make you question your religious beliefs.According to the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, 31% of Americans are religiously unaffiliated, and I think the question to ask is... why?Many religious skeptics don't believe in God because they don't want to put their faith in the writings of dead men whom they've never met -- and that may sound fair on its surface, but life isn't always so black and white Have you ever actually asked yourself why you believe what you believe?Is it because you're more inclined to believe what's supposedly backed by science?Or do you just believe what you're told because it's easier to run with the crowd than to think for yourself?It's normal to want to trust popular science and the mainstream media. After all, the information presented is so readily available at the click of a button.However, a healthy dose of skepticism and a willingness to dive deeper into the facts is key to finding the truth.The Bible offers substantially more truth than you might think, especially if you've had a negative experience in church or with so-called "believers" in the past.Keep searching -- whether or not you find the answers you were hoping for, my hope is that you'll find the answers you need.In Pursuing Truth & Finding Jesus, you will discover: Why God doesn't always answer our prayers the way we want Him to A glimpse at why everyone who tries to disprove Christianity can never prove that anything the Bible claims is falsePerspective on why pain exists and why it's necessary for your well being The mindset needed to leverage your pain to become stronger and more resilient Key aspects of what it takes to be a free-thinker in order for you to discover the truth How you can massively reduce limiting beliefs and open your mind and heartAnd much more.If you're hesitant because of your current perception of Christianity, you may not yet fully understand the beautiful truths that come from studying Christ's life, death and resurrection.Pursuing Truth & Finding Jesus isn't here to convert you -- it will simply guide you towards a greater understanding of who God is as Father and who Jesus is as Saviour.It's time to stop believing everything you're told and become an honest skeptic, willing to learn and grow.If you're ready to begin this journey together, then scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button right now.
