A road trip. A missing brother. A secret buried beneath the waves. When best friends Alex and Jake set out for a carefree road trip along the coast, they expected sun, freedom, and maybe a few bad diner meals. But everything changes when they pick up Emmy, a quiet girl with one desperate question—what happened to her brother, Leo? Her only clue is a faded photo and a cryptic online post pointing to a stretch of forgotten coastline. Against his better judgment, Alex agrees to help. Jake, of course, is thrilled—until their easygoing adventure collides with something darker: locals who lie...

This is not a long book. It does not need to be. Its purpose is two fold. Firstly: to show holiness is the standard Christian life from Gods point of view. Secondly: to reveal from the New Testament a holy life is a gift to us through Jesus' suffering, death, burial, and resurrection. Isaiah chapter 35 in the Old Testament speaks of a Holy Highway - constructed and waiting for the redeemed to walk upon it. It is a metaphor for the finished atoning work of Jesus. We do not work at attaining holiness. We receive it into ourselves as a gift from Jesus through the Gospel. Much wrong teaching ...

It might surprise you to know most Christians have not discovered, and therefore do not experience the central revelation of the New Testament. The New Testament reveals God did something completely new through the atonement of Jesus Christ, his death, burial, and resurrection on behalf of all people. It was God's intention all receiving Jesus' salvation should enter into a change never before available to mankind. John G Lake expressed it this way: "When it comes down to the real heart of things, you will want a religion that is not man-made…. all the old religions of the world are human...

In The attitude Effect readers discover how subtle mental shifts can transform not only mood but biology. Drawing on recent brain research and real-life examples, this book ...
