Have you ever been confused and frustrated by passages in the Bible that don't seem to make sense? Have you ever thought that parts of the Bible are contradictory and therefore find it hard to accept any of it as the truth? Do you find yourself more confused than fulfilled when you spend time in the scriptures? Perhaps you are guilty of reading God's Word with erroneous presuppositions - preconceived ideas and beliefs, which have been taught for generations through mainstream Christian churches. This book is about what we find when we just read the Bible as it is. When we simply read the words in plain English, what does the Bible really say? You may be surprised by what you find is there and also what is not.

On Hallowed Ground was inspired by the everyday sights and sounds that encompass life on earth. Too often we pass by the familiar, the mundane, the common, with hardly a thought. All the poems in this collection have come from sitting with creation - sometimes for brief moments and sometimes for extended periods. As I sat with creation, inviting it into my soul, savouring its life and vitality, the words came. These poems are offered as the feast of those savoured moments....

This cookbook is about recipes collected and created for more than fifty years, although some more recent additions are included. Many dishes are simple and easy, others a little more complex. Stephana Arnold served these dishes to her family when they were growing up and beyond. Macaroni and Cheese Pie and Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie were favourites so she made them often. She needed to share these recipes with others since she felt that other families would enjoy them as well, so decided to place them in her cookbook.

An eight year old boy named James, aka the wannabe Cisco Kid, nearly lost his life as he searched for precious metal in a bone dry southwest Arizona gulley. He retrieved only pyrite before a desert flood swept away his world. Over the course of half a century James acquired several additional nicknames. They were reflections of his multiple personalities. His dad called him Traveler or Trav. Some coworkers referred to him as Point Man. A few colleagues labeled him Knowledge Navigator or Nav. Under the cool, shimmering waters of Dutch Buffalo Creek, in 2014 A.D., Trav came upon a rusty bayonet. It was buried long ago in the Carolina Piedmont. This discovery is no coincidence; indeed, this bayonet is a symbol of the abundant riches found in the river of history that connects both the past and future. The blade reminded Point Man that all that glitters is not gold. Nav expanded the search for real treasure beyond the water''s edge. The blade was a catalyst that drove James to sift through a lifetime of artifacts and bittersweet memories. He found riches from the past and caught a glimpse of the future. Just as the bayonet glimmered in the depths of the water, so does the ongoing work of his family''s unseen witnesses, the Neverborn. They reveal ancient treasures that go far beyond mere gold and silver.James is guided into a deeper understanding that he and countless loved ones have been called by name as spoken by the prophet Isaiah: I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.Your search for real treasure begins when you realize that you are called by name. You are special in the eyes of your Creator. Your spiritual wealth will overcome all of the conflict and competition that troubles the waters in your life....
