A CLASH BETWEEN WORLDS... In 1529 Pedro Pizarro is a sixteen year-old scribe with the promise of an easy life in the grand Church of St. Martin. When his gallant cousin Francisco Pizarro gallops into Trujillo at the head of a stampede of finely-armored cavalry, recruiting for an expedition to the golden cities of Peru, offering "An adventure beyond dreams, riches beyond description and fame beyond generations, while doing God's work," Pedro wrestles with his commitments to his poor goat-farming father who gave him to the Church and to his mentor, the good Father Vincent, who lends him books filled with adventures. Youngest, most inexperienced, and useless aboard ship, Pedro is presented with the young Indian Quispe by the great General Francisco Pizarro and the two misfits are given the task of learning and teaching each other their languages. Their friendship grows in Panama, then closer, in the infested swamps, scorching deserts, desperate battles, and constant hardships as they follow the enigmatic General Francisco Pizarro south. On November 15, 1532, Francisco Pizarro leads 168 Spanish soldiers into the evacuated Andean city of Cajamarca. That night, thousands of campfires blaze the surrounding mountains. The Inca King Atahualpa has just been victorious in a destructive civil war. Now with an Empire of twelve million people, and with 80,000 victorious warriors surrounding the trapped strangers, the Inca King awaited a meeting with the 168 hairy-faced white men. The characters, the dates, the battles, the hardships, and the catastrophic confrontation in the plaza of Cajamarca, and the moral sufferings, are all recorded history. Only the friendship between these two young, real-life characters, Pedro and Quispe, is supposed, and therein grows the intriguing story of two views of the pivotal moments in the violent clash between the "Old World" and the "Americas." This incredible, and fascinating, 34 months of globe-shaking history is detailed o

THE NAUTILUS "Riding low in the water and bristling with iron barbs, the Nautilus was a menace to navigation: in a collision with her, a wooden ship would suffer grievous damage. Certainly, the conservative observer would condemn the submarine as an infernal machine the civilized world could never tolerate in rebel hands. But if the Nautilus was built to stand down for no one, she was only as hard and unforgiving as the World had been to the men who built her." Jules Verne gave us 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but never really explained who Captain Nemo and the Crew of the Nautilus were; let alone how or why they built the World's most advanced submarine and used it to wage war against some hated (yet undefined) nation. VULCANIUM (The Secret of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus) is the story of who they were; how and why they did what they did; and what adventures led up to that fateful encounter with the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. The intent is to entertain and (hopefully) educate; so as to enhance the reader's enjoyment of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by adding dimension to the characters, events, and technologies portrayed therein."

Often the church''s efforts addressing poverty involve performing acts of service for or to the poor. These acts are sometimes motivated more by one''s own needs or self-interest than by a genuine concern for the poor. Tina Carter and Mindy Johnson-Hicks invite readers to take a different approach. In The Wealth of Poverty they invite readers to develop mutual relationships with persons of different economic groups and to foster a deeper understanding of the culture of poverty and the surprising wealth found there. - Rev. Adam Hamilton, founding pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas.
