Raising Thunder


Book Description

Raising Thunder is about a nonreleasable, shot, and rehabilitated bald eagle that I worked with, trained, and traveled with, doing environmental education programs throughout the Eastern US for twenty-one years. The cover pic is of us at the US Capitol where we were meeting with the US Senate in the swamp where Thunder was named the poster child symbol that represented the success of the federal Endangered Species Act. We shared living quarters as we traveled.




A Rising Thunder


Book Description

Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor Harrington has rooted out a plan designed to enslave the entire human species. Behind that plan lies the shadowy organization known as the Mesan Alignment. Task number one for Honor is to shut down and secure the wormhole network that is the source of the Star Kingdom's wealth and power¾but also its greatest vulnerability. Yet this is an act that the ancient and corrupt Earth-based Solarian League inevitably takes as a declaration of war. The thunder of battle rolls as the Solarian League directs its massive power against the Star Kingdom. And once again, Honor Harrington is thrust into a desperate battle that she must win if she is to survive to take the fight to the real enemy of galactic freedom¾the insidious puppetmasters of war who lurk behind the Mesan Alignment!

Weathering the Psalms


Book Description

The weather is all around us all the time. From ancient times people have attributed the weather to the work of the gods. Ancient Israel shared this perception. The book of Psalms reflects theologically significant views on the weather that have not, until now, been fully explored. In this meteorological survey of the Psalms, whimsically called "meteorotheology," every reference to the weather is translated in accordance with the known climate and weather of ancient Israel. Each verse is discussed with particular attention to the function of the weather in the hymnal of ancient Israel. This book will be a resource for translators, clergy, and scholars with an interest in how the weather impacted religious outlooks in ancient Israel. Readers will learn that some expected associations, such as thunder and lightning, did not influence Israelite views on the natural world in the same way that they do today. Yahweh was God of the weather, and the Psalms frequently use this paradigm as a reason for both praise and fear of the Lord.




Thunder, Lightning, and Pillars of Smoke


Book Description

'Eli isn't the settling down type; He's always got adventure on his mind, ' said Grandpa Elisha, looking forlornly at the fire. He took another swig of flip. 'Adventure is what killed my older brother at Port Royal.' He let out a tired sigh as he looked Elisha in the eye. 'Eli...Elisha...' said Grandpa Blackman softly. He looked into Elisha's eyes. 'I can see you have made up your mind already; you're going, aren't you, son?' 'That I am.' Elisha Blackman swore to his father that he would never again volunteer for a foolish battle, but with resources running out and war at their doorstep, he knows that some battles are worth fighting. He leaves behind the family he loves, including his pregnant wife, Lucy, and sets off with his brother to fight for the very land they live on. Will Elisha and Joseph make it back to the family that they've sworn to protect? Will the powder keg of English, French, and Indian relations tear apart the lives they've carved out? With careful attention to historical accuracy and deft, thrilling storytelling, Michael Schnorr begins the saga of the Blackman family. This vivid tale of love, faith, and courage is sure to inspire readers. Join the Blackmans as they attempt to hold on to all they hold dear amidst the turbulence of war in a land filled with Thunder, Lightning, and Pillars of Smoke.
