We shall also consider the fact that Jesus highlighted deception as being a major sign of the end times.

We shall finally consider statistical data on whether or not there has been an increase in famine and earthquakes in these last days of time, along with many other interesting topics that will catch your attention.

Rippleton Torn has a couple of problems—he loves the ladies and he loves to gamble. Unfortunately, while he’s pretty good with the ladies, he’s not a great gambler, and he’s just lost his ship in a card game. That’s a problem because—somehow—he still needs to deliver a cargo he has contracted. On the plus side, he won a night of unbridled passion with a Davini. When he finds that Davini women aren’t built like humans and what that night would entail, well, Ripp needs a ship…fast.

No one was more surprised than I was when God placed it on my heart to write a book about deliverance. However, after seeking God about writing such a book, I wrote this particular edition entitled 'Deliverance'. I have based the contents of this book on both the theory and practice of deliverance. Therefore, some of the chapters provide the theory that people will need to help them engage in spiritual warfare, while other chapters will consider my own personal and practical experience relating to casting out devils. I have no doubt that the contents of some of these chapters will shock you...

Doubt is not a threat to faith. In many cases, it’s how faith matures. For some, doubt sneaks in quietly - during a sleepless night, a medical diagnosis, or an unanswered prayer. For others, it arrives like a wave - pushed forward by suffering, disillusionment, intellectual challenge, or cultural pressure. However it comes, it can leave you wondering whether your faith is broken… or whether it was ever real to begin with. This book is written for you. It’s not a list of quick answers. It’s not a defence of religion or an attempt to silence your questions. It’s an invitation. An ...

When I was researching this book I recognized that, in certain parts of the church, Christians may not be ready for an increase in spiritual warfare that is heading towards them. This is because many people have ignored Paul's entreaty, in Ephesians Chapter 6, to put on the full armor of God and to enter the battle field; a battle field that exists in heavenly places. When we don't wear God's armor, we end up trying to protect ourselves from difficult circumstances, sent by the evil one, by using our own natural defenses. We fail to perceive that the difficult circumstances we face can be a...

In 1933, Albert Einstein fled Nazi Germany for the leafy streets of Princeton, NJ. He would have been welcome anywhere, but Einstein joined the Institute for Advanced Study. Abraham Flexner, the institute's founder, wasn't a physicist or mathematician. The team of thinkers that Flexner assembled produced some of the greatest scientific advances of the 20th century. The man had a knack for leading genius. Einstein's Boss filters Flexner's practices through the lens of modern business, where industries from computing to engineering to biotechnology compete for top talent and cutting-edge innovations.
