Son of Man explores the startling reason for why Jesus insisted upon referring to himself by this mysterious title.

As the reader will discover, Jesus' work and purpose far exceeded anything men have imagined them to be up until now. This, in turn, leads to new insight into just how relevant all that Jesus accomplished two thousand years ago is for us today.

True family extends beyond just bloodlines. In the Holy Bible Jesus made that perfectly clear when He said, "For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother" (Matthew 12:50). Mom's friends who share love for her children, despite ethnic differences, become like her sisters and are considered family. They are usually called auntie or Tee. This book, "T's Tees Are Just Like a Mom," shows us that true love is colorblind, powerful, and adorable.

Fortunately, as Christians, we know good will win out-Revelation tells us that. But what casualties will occur along the way? Can you say with absolute clarity which side God sees you on? And if you are on God's side, are you prepared to be His warrior in this epic battle?After eleven years of prison ministry and countless personal encounters with the hand of God and His miracles, Don Wettlaufer has written a guidebook for people to prepare to receive the returning Messiah.

A DYSTOPIAN NOIR OF FIRST CONTACTThroughout the centuries of Earth's turbulent past, a malignant, neo-fascist death-cult known as the Soul Harvesters have schemed to one day gain control over civilization. Late in the 22nd century, a quantum singularity, God's Light, blossoms into dazzling life near Earth orbit, unleashing an Armageddon of flame and devastation, killing millions, plunging the world into abject suffering. Through the rift, humanity restively watches the remote cosmos where belligerent, advanced aliens clash for supremacy. Now, the Soul Harvesters have mutated into Overlord, a malevolent entity reigning over a dystopian Earth. Surmising the singularity aliens are an existential threat to their rule, Overlord tasks their finest scientists, the Gods of Chimera, to create genetically-engineered soldiers using a fearful population as ill-fated test subjects. Across the planet, paranoia flourishes while a melancholic people search for the light of hope within the darkness of their tortured lives. One such alienated soul is Detective Klaus Jürgen Müeller, a misanthropic anti-hero barely surviving in a bioengineered district of war and desolation. Tormented by his son's death at the time of the cataclysm, and his wife's subsequent descent into madness, he self-medicates with high-end synthetic drugs, rejects his own existence, and lives in a forever nightmare of sorrow and self-annihilation. In a futuristic noir of rebirth and redemption, Müeller is tasked with a secretive murder investigation connected to the development of the chimeras. Drowning under his own fractured sense of self, with time running out and pressure crushing him from all sides, he must evade tyranny, reckon with the sins of his past, and confront the looming doom of an alien invasion from the sinister unknown.

If you're holding this book and you're wondering what this story is all about, it's about the Abenaki people. These stories are of those people who lived in the Dawnland of Maine. The Dawnland was named that way because it was the early days of the settlements of New England. Maine was still a part of Massachusetts, and the native people were the Abenaki, many Indian tribes lived within the state which we now know as Maine. The people were a diverse people, a brave people, a proud people, and people who lived long in the land and love peace. They wanted to get along with those who lived with them, but it was a difficult time and there were many hardships. It is a story of bravery; it is a story of the people who still inhabit the state of Maine and so I trust that you will enjoy this fictional account of some of the legends although historically many facts are true so please read this book with enjoyment and with understanding of the proud race of the Abenaki Indians.

"Read Me, Liberals" is an attempt to awaken a certain class of people that are morally at risk. The modern United States political system is dominated by a two-party system, Democrats and Republicans. Either party is perfect nor will the ever be perfect, but the Democratic party has gone so far left it is a threat to the freedom and safety of American citizens. The modern Democratic party and their allies want to dramatically alter the United States to their fascist ideology. They want total control of you and I by any means necessary. They want to control how you think and what you can say. Most importantly they want you to be submissive to a complete totalitarian government control. This book exposes all the hypocrisy, corruption, and moral insanity that comes from the "left". Most importantly it exposes the two-tiered justice system, one for Democrats and one for the rest of us. This book is meant to target liberals, democrats, and independents but will help educate conservatives and Republicans as well. I challenge anyone that loves the United States to read this and help save this country while we still can. Liberals will continue to push their one-world order agenda until they get what they want. The United States is more politically divided than any other time in history and we need to come together somehow.
