When it was Dark by Guy Thorne (33 Reviews)    Price verified 4 minutes ago

"I, Joseph of Arimathea, took the body of Jesus, the Nazarene, from the tomb where it was first laid and hid it in this place." A press report on this discovery just outside Jerusalem says: "There now seems no shadow of doubt that the disappearance of the body of Christ from the first tomb is accounted for, and the Resurrection as told in the Gospels did not take place. Joseph of Arimathea here confesses that he stole away the body, probably in order to spare the Disciples and friends of the dead Teacher, with whom he was in sympathy, the shame and misery of the final end to their hopes." This is proof, welcomed by many, that Jesus was not who he claimed to be, the Son of God, but was nothing more than a good teacher who was treated cruelly by those in authority. Churches quickly empty. Over a year, society begins to break down around a world with no traditional standard to live by. A young curate, a journalist, and a music hall singer who is the mistress of a famous man, put their ...

Mouse never told how she once saw the demon or that the trees spoke to her. For these things matter little; she was a girl. Courage and weapon skill did not figure in a man's choice of a wife.

Daily Devotions from the Book of Proverbs by James Thomas Lee Jr (9 Reviews)    Price verified 14 hours ago

It has been stated that a person should study the book of Proverbs if he or she wants to be wise. Accordingly, the book of Proverbs has been organized into thirty-one different chapters. That means that a person can read a chapter in the book each day based upon the numerical date of the month. For example, on the first day of the month, one would read the first chapter in the book of Proverbs. On the second day of the month, he or she would read the second chapter. If a person were to do that for an entire year, then he or she would read the whole book of Proverbs twelve times every year minus a few chapters for those months with fewer than thirty-one days. So the organization of the devotions in this text has followed the same pattern as how one might read the book of Proverbs for themselves. In other words, on the first day of each month, this text will have a short devotion on two or three verses from only the first chapter of the book of Proverbs. On the second day of each ...

KIM PHILBY: Our Man in Moscow by Christian Shakespeare (108 Reviews)    Price verified 13 minutes ago

The world of the secret agents of the Cold War were the unseen vanguard of the fight to both expand and contain the spread of world communism. It was a world filled with dishonesty and when someone works in the world of secret espionage they expect it first-hand. But nobody was more dishonest than one man, the lies and the duplicity committed by an individual with no conscience to the consequences of his actions.
