In January 2010, the author had a continuing vision of a medieval square he'd neither seen nor visited before in BANSKA BYSTRICA, SLOVAKIA. Later that year, events unfolded whereby the author and two friends embarked on a 4,000 mile journey across Europe. This vision would later see him staying for over four years in Banska Bystrica to paint an enormous (6 metres wide by 4 metres high) painting, showing over 500 children from around the world, which will bring peace to the conflict between Palestine and Israel. The painting is called 'Children Are the Future' and encoded within it is a message for peace between Palestine and Israel. The prophecy he had received twenty years before, that the world was getting ever closer to a theatre of crisis, makes him believe that a Divine Intervention is taking place, using him as a vehicle to bring peace and to give the message of the meaning and purpose of life. This is part of the journey that has led to the present day of November 1st, 2016.

AN EPIC ADVENTURE THAT REVEALS MANY ANSWERS FOR THE YOUNG AND THE YOUNG-AT-HEART. Joshua the Polar Bear with his wife, Josey, and their children, Fred and Flo, find themselves in two theatres of conflict that could threaten the balance of world peace. Crazy villains and master criminals are active throughout this humorous, yet poignant and profound, story. Joshua and his family have developed extraordinary magnetic powers, including the ability to see into the future. Russia becomes the beneficiary of their abilities, and President Rockov's prodigy son, Ivan, enlists the help of the young English genius, Ethan the Enlightened One. The two boys find themselves in confrontation with Grigory Metimovich, the richest oligarch in the world, who is based in Moscow. Further help comes from another galaxy, as Joshua is able to harness energy and help from that source, along with assistance from the wealthy English entrepreneur, Rich Pickens.
