Joshua Hawkins makes his debut with Pawns of Gods which is all about action, loyalty, and true love. Young readers will be especially delighted in this tale reminiscent of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. In it, Hawkins creates a world that is dangerous and inspired, a place where anything is possible. Here men and monsters live on a lopsided playing field and it is a world of their own making. A little like chess, Hesto, the god of the underworld, battles Healo, the god of mortal men, while Kithroe, the king of the gods, sees to it no person or lesser god directly interferes. Everything comes to a head when the city of Monsoon is attacked and what is lost for one man will create a strange paradox of power and a search for his beloved wife-to-be. With nothing left to lose, this mortal known as Sav will set forth on a mythical, mindboggling adventure with no cares about the brewing war with only his heart to lead him.

Ecclesia and Ethics considers the subject of Ecclesial Ethics within its theological, theoretical and exegetical contexts. Part one presents the biblical-theological foundations of an ecclesial ethic – examining issues such as creation, and Paul's theology of the Cross. Part two moves on to examine issues of character formation and community. Finally, part three presents a range of exegetical applications, which examine scripture and ethics in praxis. These essays look at hot-button issues such as the 'virtual self' in the digital age, economics, and attitudes to war. The collection includes luminaries such as N.T. Wright, Michael J. Gorman, Stanley Hauerwas and Dennis Hollinger, as well as giving space to new theological and exegetical voices. As such Ecclesia and Ethics provides a challenging and contemporary examination of modern ethical debates in the light of up-to-date theology and exegesis.

Here is a true story of international intrigue, romances, corruption, graft, and political assassinations, the like of which has never been written before. It is the story of how different groups or atheistic- materialistic men have played in an international chess tournament to decide which group would win ultimate control of the wealth, natural resources, and man- power of the entire world. It is explained how the game has reached the final stage. The International Communists, and the International Capitalists, (both of whom have totalitarian ambitions) have temporarily joined hands to defeat Christian-democracy. The solution is to end the game the International Conspirators have been playing right now before one or another totalitarian-minded group imposes their ideas on the rest of mankind. The story is sensational and shocking, but it is educational because it is the TRUTH. The author offers practical solutions to problems so many people consider insoluble.
