Johnny and Colin are both delighted to meet this beautiful girl and try to win her affections. They stroll along through the meadow when, suddenly, they are caught in a storm. They shelter under a big oak tree, but as the wind increases, the tree uproots itself, and they find themselves falling through a dark hole.They come face-to-face with King Anthus and the little people. They are angry at strangers entering their village and for interrupting the festivities. The king tells them that he cannot send them back until the two moons become one, so he invites them into his home.The king's brother, Luxbrithe, insists on finding their birth deeds as proof, since he believes he is the firstborn, so he demands the king to search the villages where their father had hidden them.Long ago, when Queen Elliana finds out that her handmaid is also having a baby, she decides to help the handmaid since she isn't married. Sissy agrees to hand over her baby to the queen and tells the king that she has given birth to twin boys. The doctor and Sissy are both sworn to secrecy, and Sissy is delighted that she can be near her son, but when they turned three, the queen tells Sissy that she has to find different employment since the Queen didn't want the boys to be dependent on Sissy.

The first novel entitled Altered Perceptions is the first part of a trilogy featuring Andy McPhee and Team Seven of the SIS Black Door Operations. SIS does exist, as do Black Door Ops. What goes on at CDE Porton Down is part factual and part fiction. Although this story is fiction, or you could say factional, the enriched uranium and plutonium did go missing from FBR Dounreay. The Secret Royal Navy program, the Vulcan Project, did take place between the RN and Rolls Royce.There were two major accidents at FBR Dounreay, and they were covered up. There is still two miles of off-limit shoreline, where pieces of plutonium are being found near Dounreay. Much of what happened in the first book did happen in real life. Some is, of course, pure fiction. Real names have been changed. The majority of the places exist.Gruinard Island was used by the British Government to test out bacteriological and viral spores of anthrax. The island remained uninhabitable for almost fifty years. The UK has signed up to the Geneva Convention that bans the use of chemical and biological warfare. Yet it continues to make these banned items. The UK is not alone in this. The USA, France, Belgium, Germany, along with the majority of countries in the west, are also part of it. Yet they condemn third-world countries who try to make them, and in some cases, they even supply these countries with the parts required to make them. That is a fact.

Over the ages, Christianity has experienced and endured many hardships, trials, struggles, martyrdoms, persecutions, and all sorts of pain for generations from since the church was born. But the actual fact is that the spiritual war that started at the creation of this present world between good and evil has been raging on over the ages and has never stopped. In fact, as the days go by and the end of the present system of things is coming nearer and nearer, according to the Bible, things are going to get worse and worse. This is what has been written in the Bible about Lucifer, the devil.However, the church still has to go on and not despair or lose hope. And most importantly, the church should not lose focus. Why? Because she believes in the almighty, powerful, and able God, the faithful God, the God of the universe, who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The Christian faith and hope is not hope in the human spirit, human goodness, human abilities, human qualifications, human intellectuality, human endurance, human experience, human plans, or human achievements. Rather it is hope in the power and faithfulness of the living God-the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Abraham''s God was and is the God of the whole earth. He is the God of Jacob, the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. Christianity believes in the God, who does not fail. This God is known for his abilities, which are unique and cannot be compared with anyone else or with any other god.

In February 2019, I travelled again to Ethiopia with the Hope for Ethiopia team attached to Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle in Belfast. We met once again with our brothers and sisters in Christ on our one-week visit. To say that our time spent there was blessed would be an understatement. During our time there, we had the opportunity to take part in worship and fellowship with them, but our hearts were again truly stolen by the children there. We took with us on the trip in excess of fifty suitcases filled with gifts for the children, simple and inexpensive gifts-a few T-shirts, underwear, a toy,and some sweets. Our reward was the tears of joy displayed on each little face. Perhaps it was a logistical nightmare in the packing and carriage of the suitcases, but in truth, the smiles on display made all the effort worthwhile.We visited three separate locations-Kuriftu, where we have a school, church, and clinic with over four hundred children attending the Christ Centered School; Bobaguya, where we have a Bible class and kindergarten for around sixty children, allowing their parents to find work; and finally, Ambo, where we have really seen the hand of God moving among his people in a makeshift church the congregation has grown to over three thousand worshippers! Even better was the news that greeted us there. This congregation, despite their poverty, have managed to raise over seventy thousand dollars for the provision of foundations for the newly planned church there. Hearts were melted among us by all we experienced.On my return, I resumed work on my poetry, invigorated by all that I experienced there. The format of Poems of Conviction: Volume 5 remains the same, and once again, all proceeds from the sales of these books will go directly to brightening up the lives of the children of Ethiopia. If you have purchased a copy, I offer my heartfelt thanks on their behalf. God Bless.

As I had mentioned before in my sixth book, I had already started my number 7. Writing becomes quite a habit, which I like very much of course. This seventh book feels rather fresh; many new ideas came up in my head. The poems are generally on handling lots of stuff.It''s not particularly soft like the fifth book, Never Give Up. On the other hand, it''s not as fierce and heavy as number 6, Stay Strong, was. It''s a unique collection of many repetitive poems-a style that I have improved a lot because I like writing like that even though it''s not always easy.The strength to keep on writing hasn''t left me even though bad experiences have been part of my life in 2017 and 2018 due to mistakes of other people who have robbed me in their smiling innocence. Writing makes me forget that many servicepeople aren''t good or willing to help you. But I believe in God.This seventh book, Higher Power, is also being published by Xlibris, as all the aforementioned.

Hi, my name is Aine Rutherford. I am now seventeen years old I started writing my book about my journey with depression in 2016 when I was 15. This book is about my teenage years with depression and bipolar disorder. I am writing this book to hopefully help someone out there and give them a big reminder they are not alone! I myself am a very talkative person when I'm in the right frame of mind. I love all my animals and I love my music. I suffered with depression now 6 years and I had my fair share of unwanted thoughts such as suicidal thoughts and thoughts about hating myself. This book is for helping someone out. Making someone smile or giggle at me and with me a bit and making them not feel so alone.
