The Reader's Holy Bible Volume 3: The Writings


Book Description

Read the Holy Bible like a novel, not like a textbook! This version of the Holy Bible capitalizes on a new presentation style that has become more popular over the last few years, and one that is closer to the original version than most current ones. We've dispensed with chapter and verse numbers (they weren't added until the 1200s and 1500s, respectively), and we've put books that were split apart because they wouldn't fit on a single scroll (e.g., Ezra and Nehemiah) back into single books. We've also rearranged some of the books so they follow a more logical timeline and progression. We keep books with the same audience or author, or same theme or timeline, together. This makes it more cohesive for you to read. We've used the World English Bible, a readable translation that allows you to traverse the whole of God's word in thoroughly modern language. We hope you enjoy reading this new version of the Holy Bible, and may Yahweh bless you!

The World Before


Book Description

Three strikingly different alien races greeted the military mission from Earth when it reached the planet called Bezer'ej. Now one of the sentient species has been exterminated—and two others are poised on the brink of war. The fragile bezeri are no more, due to the ignorant, desperate actions of human interlopers. The powerful wess'har protectors have failed in their sworn obligation to the destroyed native population—and the outrage must be redressed. But those who are coming to judge from the World Before -- the home planet, now distant and alien to the wess'har, whose ancestors left there generations ago -- will not restrict their justice to the individual humans responsible for the slaughter. Earth itself must answer for the genocide. And its ultimate fate may depend on a dead woman: former police officer Shan Frankland, who became something far greater than human before destroying herself in the vast airless depths of space.

The World Where Love never Dies Book 3


Book Description

Book 3 of 6 - Novel based on a true story. THE TREE OF LIFE is the third book from the book series “THE WORLD WHERE LOVE NEVER DIES.” During an interview, the journalist learns about the old man’s fascinating story coming to realize how astonishingly his own life is also going to become spiritually guided in the same fashion, receiving multiple prophecies that point to a new beginning. The old man and his wife lived a lush life. During the journey of their lives, both much younger, they did not really know where they were going. They seemed to have it all, they could do anything they wanted with their futures; they were young and foolish, pure and innocent. They were warned of a sudden change drawing closer. All of a sudden, tragedy struck. That night, he had a spiritual encounter. A divine plan was explained to him to save his seriously ill wife, daring doctors' predictions of her certain death. Her revealed diagnosis could be challenged, and thus his mission started to unfold: he would begin to document and write the story behind his wife’s detour from certain death, his mission, and his spiritual calling. The journalist learns how to make connections among events that may look like coincidences, when in fact they were innumerable instances of guidance. This changed the way he looked at things and the way he looked at his interview. He discovers by himself, glimpses of guidance and how this could help him to find his higher purpose in life. The old man is prophesying with more details an extraordinary love and a new worldwide career coming soon to the journalist's life, because of his newly acquired understanding. A love story he will never forget. Followed by Book 4: Lips to Ears Book 5: Love Resonance Book 6: The Eye of Wisdom.
