Synopsis

Oxford University students, Syrian national Ali, a devout Muslim and English-borne Atheist Margaret, succumb to a passionate romance. Issues regarding religion and Ali's eventual return to Syria are dismissed as they realise a love live theirs only happens once in a lifetime, if ever. They vow to 'live for today', hoping the parting day never comes.
Through their joint detective work, they discover a connection with Pembroke and beautiful Barafundle Bay, which holds the secrets of Margaret's deceased mother's past. Which leads them to solve the mystery of Margaret's father, which has dogged her since childhood.
Margaret moves to Syria to be with Ali and her newfound father. Their lives are idyllic; they make new friends, and 'live for today' has a different meaning.
Then the Syrian Civil War erupts. Unlike most of their friends that flee from the war, Ali and Margaret decide to stay and help those in need. Margaret volunteers at the hospital and Ali joins the 'White Helmets'.
They witness the horrific destruction of Aleppo and the terrorising of trapped citizens during the indiscriminate bombing by its own government and allies. 'Live For Today' is all they can do.

    "The Music of Erich Zann" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. Written in December 1921, it was first published in National Amateur, March 1922. Due to lack of funds, a university student is forced to take up lodging in an almost empty apartment building on a street named "Rue d'Auseil". One of the few other tenants is an old German man named Erich Zann. The old man is mute and plays the viol[a] with a local theater orchestra. He lives alone on the top floor and at night he plays strange melodies the student has never heard before. Despite Zann's dissatisfaction with his own music, the student invites himself to hear Zann play at his room. While watching the first night, the student's curiosity attracts him to the window of the room, which is the only window that can oversee the wall at the end of the mysterious street. Zann seems disturbed to discover that the student is able to hear his melody from his room and asks the student in a friendly manner to move to a lower floor where he won't hear Zann's music, only to return the next day to his antisocial behavior once the student has moved...

    The fourth story in the Chosen to Serve series deals with a hotly disputed topic in the Christian faith – Unconditional Eternal Security, or Once Saved, Always Saved. As in so many things of Scripture, there is more than one-way things may be looked at. Differing views and understandings lead to different doctrines. What makes it interesting is that each viewpoint can refer to Scripture to support their view! 
     Jimmy is sent to minister to a Baptist pastor who holds to the doctrine, not to tell him he is wrong, but to share faith in Christ and a love for the Word of God. 
     The discussions between the two men become much more than just a doctrinal debate, as individuals, families and churches are ultimately involved. It’s a story of brotherly love and respect as the two men share their understandings and convictions. 
     All Believers are subject to being deceived, which is why the Apostle Paul repeated his warning – “Do not be deceived.” Our own biases and upbringing so often cause us to not see what is clearly stated in God’s Book. But if we are to hope to see clearly enough to help get the speck from our Brother’s eye, we must stay diligent to get the beam out of our own eye!
