Behold a Red Horse: Wars and...

Chuck Missler

What does the Bible say about “wars”? How can the classic literature of centuries ago impact today's (and tomorrow’s) tactics and strategies? Which technologies are predicted in the Bible? Which ones have yet to be witnessed? In what ways have the economies of scale in violence been reversed? What is the threat assessment and risk analysis pending today? In what ways can a country be regarded as a “one-bomb target”? What are the likely implications of trans-humanism in the quests for the “Super-Soldier”? How could electromagnetic pulses emerge to become the “Great Equalizer”? Where is the safest place to be. Dr. Chuck Missler, an honor graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, with an international background including three decade’s experience in the board rooms of the defense industry, reviews the major Biblical references to warfare, the trends in modern weapons technology, and some of the current preparations for war among the major powers.

Satan is Targeting Man's Free Will

Leslie Rendell

When God created humankind in his image, he gave us some remarkable abilities. We are so totally different to other species here on the earth and that most certainly includes the apes. By being created in the image of God, this gave us the ability to invent and build some amazing things. Look at the world around us and you will see the way humans live is so unique.  
This is all because God gave us all the free will to do what we want. There is nothing held back from us that is possible to achieve within the laws of nature that God has designed. When man first started to fly it was because men thought it was possible to accomplish and so they invented the aeroplane. The same for everything humans have built over time. 
None of these abilities have been given to any other animal. It is the sole prerogative of the human race. Our free will has been vital for these developments to take place. 
It is unfortunate that with our free will, we can do a great deal of evil. Have another look at the surrounding world and see the types of evil man can do when his heart is set on doing evil instead of doing good. 
Satan is using our free will to draw us away from God. He is the father of lies and his intentions is to destroy us all. He is known as the deceiver of the whole world and has led many people astray. 
The purpose of this audio book is to make you aware of what he is trying to do in your life and how you can resist him.

Wendell Eternal 3 - ORDER OF THE...

Wendell Hockaday Jr.

This is book three of a series of three. This book includes all three volumes of the series "Wendell Eternal, Order of the Hidden". This book reaches your mind on three different levels. (Physical, Spiritual, and Metaphysical) The biggening of this series starts off with the lowest level of man, in his animalistic form. This book builds you up so that the information can easily be broken down. I am a fan of Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, and Goosebumps. Wendell Eternal is a series of short stories that are all intertwined into one meaning. I use fairytales, allegories, and duality to give the listeners multiple avenues of interpretation. This series is for people who enjoy mysterious thrillers that have a moral compass and over all meaning. Included in this book is my world famous Keysari Smoothie recipe. This smoothie has been perfected over the last decade. I give you entertainment, spirituality, knowledge, and a healthy recipe that could improve your quality of life going forward. This is not a book; this is a movement. When you buy this book, you are basically saying, "Yes, I will continue to fight the good fight".
