Book Description
This novel asks, "Could a modern day prophet change the course of history?" "Adrenaline-packed...you feel like you have been on a rollercoaster ride that takes you all over the world." Dr. R Hill. "..."Breathtaking...Gripping...It grabs you on the first page and takes many twists and turns that keep you turning the pages..." C. Miller "...a sweeping epic...Five Stars" P. Whittman. "...an exciting, fascinating, and an intelligent compelling story that will keep you entranced. The tale takes many unexpected turns and in the end, it left me breathless...FIVE STARS." D. Goodman. Five years in the making, this epic trilogy is now published. Be prepared for magnificent spectacle on the grandest scale. You'll find that it abounds with lavish unimagined pageantry and ceremonies that will touch your heart. Share in the intimate moments of a family that loves and sacrifices for each other and then extends that love to encompass the world. ~*~ God sees that much of his creation has withered and died. His last hope is that Earth can be saved and is perhaps all that can be salvaged. He sets upon a plan in which he sends seeds to Earth that are mankind's hope for survival. He sends an archangel to assist the four seeds, the three generations of the Lancaster family. The Lancaster's are unaware of their celestial powers or that they are "seeds" with a godly mission. They go about their lives believing they are ordinary American citizens in a modern day world. Each Lancaster experiences life quite differently and it is only with age, that each begins to understand their unique relationship with a higher power. The stories of self-discovery show the struggles that each encounter as they make their way in a world that is challenging them at every turn. On the surface they were an ordinary family-a typical family that went about living their lives struggling to build a life for themselves in an average American modern-day town. Raymond Lancaster's archeologist father disappeared when he was a child and his mother now gone found himself alone in an indifferent world. From impoverished beginnings he propelled himself to modest wealth building RL Enterprises into an international conglomerate. He lived peacefully, blissfully with his loving wife Susan, his college sweetheart, and his son and daughter never anticipating that everything would come crashing to an abrupt end.... ~*~ Paperback/ Large Print/ and eBook editions are available at Createspace and Amazon.com

People of Heaven
Author: Beverley Harper

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 660
Book Description
'The poacher didn't shoot her. Bullets cost money and a shot might alert the rangers. . . On the third night, after enduring more agony than any man or beast should ever have to face, the rhinoceros took one last shuddering breath, heaved her flanks painfully, and sought refuge in the silky blackness of death.' In 1945, on a train bound for Zululand, two soldiers meet on the way home to their families, the war in Europe finally over. But in South Africa there are many more battles still to be fought. The seeds of apartheid are being sown in an angry nation, the fate of the Zulu people is as precarious as that of the endangered black rhinoceros, hunted for its horn. The soldiers on the train are already sworn enemies-one is black, the other white. Their sons, Michael King and Dyson Mpande, share a precious friendship that defies race and colour. But political greed, lust and a great evil between their families will test their friendship beyond imaginable limits.

Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
"Irresistible" - Literary Review Fig trees have affected humanity in profound but little-known ways: they are wish-fulfillers, rainforest royalty, more precious than gold. Ladders to Heaven tells their incredible story. They fed our pre-human ancestors, influenced diverse cultures and played a key role in the birth of civilisation. More recently, they helped restore life after Krakatoa's catastrophic eruption and proved instrumental in Kenya's struggle for independence. Figs now sustain more species of bird and mammal than any other fruit – in a time of falling trees and rising temperatures, they offer hope. Theirs is a story about humanity's relationship with nature, as relevant to our past as it is to our future.
