A young boy named Abner lies alone under the stars wondering about his future and what impact his life will have on the world. He can't possibly imagine the plans God has for him and his family, plans that will affect thousands and shape the future of the world. "The Faithful" takes the reader along with Abner and his family as they embark on an epic adventure to find a new home in a strange new land. Along their journey they will witness untold wonders, encounter fantastic creatures, battle ruthless villains, and with the help of angels, struggle against the powerful forces of hell itself, intent on destroying them. The reader is front and center as the spiritual war between good and evil rages in the temporal affairs of men. Intense battles will be fought. Heroes of faith will be revealed. In the end the faithful will stand. Terrence L. Rotering is known for his action-packed novel "STAND" which portrays the eternal struggle between good and evil in both the physical and spiritual realms. "STAND", the second book in the Trinian saga, is described by readers online as thrilling, uplifting, and meaningful Christian fiction; an intriguing story using a C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Frank Peretti style, having truth solidly imprinted in its DNA. "The Faithful" successfully follows suit, laying the foundation for the Trinian series with an epic serving of mounting suspense, relentless action, and heroic conviction; intent on leaving the reader satisfied, edified, and strengthened in the faith. Terrence Rotering serves his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at his local church and in his community. He and his wife Theresa live in Colorado with their two children, Tanner and Thomas. "The Faithful" is the first book in the Chronicles of Trinian series.

It has often been thought that participation in fertility rituals was women's most important religious activity in classical Greece. Matthew Dillon's wide-ranging study makes it clear that women engaged in numerous other rites and cults, and that their role in Greek religion was actually more important than that of men. Women invoked the gods' help in becoming pregnant, venerated the god of wine, worshipped new and exotic deities, used magic for both erotic and pain-relieving purposes, and far more besides. Clear and comprehensive, this volume challenges many stereotypes of Greek women and offers unexpected insights into their experience of religion. With more than fifty illustrations, and translated extracts from contemporary texts, this is an essential resource for the study of women and religion in classical Greece.
