WAR FOR DOMINION    VOLUME 1    THE END FROM THE BEGINNINGWAR FOR DOMINION    VOLUME 2    PUT ON THE ARMOR OF LIGHT  BY DAN LUDDEKEBiblical prophecy is an interest to many people, Christians and non-Christians, for the purpose of discerning the times and current world events. This is a very practical purpose for prophecy, as Jesus chastised the leaders for their failure to recognize the time in which they lived. There is, however, another very important aspect of biblical prophecy. God has revealed the eternal future in His Word with the intent that it motivates His children to live in obedience now. Biblical prophecy is an important part of believers setting their minds on the things above (Colossians 3:1-2). Every born-again believer has an eternal destiny that is affected by their faithfulness now while in this temporal realm. War For Dominion: Put on the Armor of Light is focused on making biblical prophecy a daily-living reality in Christians' lives.Dan Luddeke Sr. received the gift of eternal life in 19

A Reflective Journey of a Loved One's Passing by CK BrasharesI remember coming home from a particularly tough day when mom was especially obstinate about whatever we were trying to do for her that day. I pulled into my driveway, turned off the truck, and just sat there for a few minutes leaning back in my seat with my head against the headrest. I let out a sigh as my gaze went to the sky. I was struck by how the sky felt expansive and peaceful yet how small I was in comparison. It struck me oddly that I felt this feeling and I wondered what it meant. Then the epiphany hit me. Since the day I had found out my mother's days were numbered, I gradually diminished, day by day, becoming more compact/emotionally shut down to get through this period. I realized that I could no longer diminish myself any further. The expansiveness of the sky highlighted for me my feeling of smallness. Also, I could no longer hide from the feelings that came with the eventuality of my mother's passing. I had to open and face those feel

Richard Speck and the Eight Nurses: Deconstructing A Mass Murder by B D SalernoLate on the night of July 13, 1966, eight of nine student nurses were brutally murdered in their townhouse. They never screamed, they never fought, they never tried to run, and no one could understand why. The eight horrific murders were attributed to Richard Speck, a 24-year-old unemployed seaman with a long rap sheet. One nurse survived by hiding under a bed. She was the crux of the prosecution's case, a slam dunk that brought in a guilty verdict after only 47 minutes of jury deliberation.In the decades that followed, no one studied all the inconsistencies between the police reports, the witness' testimony, the FBI files, the physical evidence, the autopsy findings, the newspaper articles, and the trial testimony. Not until now.Author B.D. Salerno spent over three years studying sources and reference materials never before investigated, deconstructing the historical narrative that served as the official story of the crime. Her fi

BURNING THE FLAGS OF EXTREMISM by Conrad Garfield DuncanThe world is at war with an invisible enemy. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the rulers of darkness. Principalities and powerful ideologies have created a monster of sorts. Terrorism and wanton hate for humanity are rooted in the doctrines of demons. Men have fought and died to win the right to justify their sins, while entire nations lay bare in the indignity of utter ruin. These are the reality in which we live but the question which needs to be answered is why.This book was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. God has anointed me to share His love with the American People, who for too long has been lied to and taken advantage of by false teachers who were not ordained by the Holy Spirit to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.https://www.amazon.com/Burning-Extremism-Conrad-Garfield-Duncan-ebook/dp/B07957TPV9/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2P5P6LMLWXZB0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6KqVy4OvObxkH_vH85XDMg.N6cgcu25DQh35fdNWoMtN-ZoX3M-Uq8Hy55hw

Dropped Calls by Robert McGuinessDropped Calls will ring like a lost phone and have you scrambling to pick up the call. Should water, food, and even the air we breathe become threatened? Providence assembles at the bugler’s call. When democracy is under threat from our collective complacency, these words shall find meaning in the screaming echoes of two centuries past “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”. In this work of fiction, the resonance of truth should challenge the reader’s sagacity so that each person becomes the keystone to the solution. Just like Siddhartha, to read it once is a revelation, and immersed deep in its pages, understanding and enlightenment may develop. Robert McGuiness was born in Bayshore New York. He attended school in Smithtown and graduated from Smithtown High School in 1972. He made his way to the West Coast in 1976 and has made Northern California his home ever since . He enjoyed being a "Back to the Lander" and lived remotely, off grid. He has two children, Jewel and Bob

Women Who Knew Jesus by Rev. Dr. Bonnie RingAs you come to know each of the women that Jesus knew, you may be surprised to discover how quickly your own stories are evoked by hearing theirs and how similar you are to some of them so they become role models for your own journey of faith and witness. In each of these encounters, you will meet Jesus and come to know him as they did, perhaps for the first time.To enrich your experience, there are questions to ponder and memories of your own to recover. These Bible stories help us see parts of ourselves, both the parts we like and the parts we would prefer to deny, hide, or eliminate. As you proceed, two attitudes will be helpful: a willingness to let these biblical women speak with their own voices and an openness to hearing what you may not have heard before. These stories can help us uncover the richness of our own stories and see them for the sacred wonder that they are.Rev. Dr. Bonnie Ring has devoted her life to living out God’s all-inclusive love through ps

THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION by Robert R. MalkasThe Road to Redemption is a revisionist history of what writers have been doing to revise the teaching of American history for generations. The book presents an alternate approach that takes readers back to a time when the nation was more united and schools prepared students to become victors instead of victims by presenting to them how America evolved into what now is the most powerful country in the world. It draws attention to those who are dedicated to destroy advancing man’s natural instincts to assimilate and allow all people to live useful lives. The intention of RTR is to open minds by providing unbiased accounts of what has happened to man’s universal search for meaning, and the obstacles that had to be overcome when those in power used their position to serve personal needs, and the methods taken to achieve them. It can be looked at as a classroom where the next generation will be prepared to accept their opportunities to live fruitful lives, and position th
