Hatty and Barty's Adventures Month One (eBook, ePUB)
Hatty and Barty Adventures Month One When my children were little I told them bedtime stories most every night. One evening I created the characters Hatty and Barty and told them a story about these new fictional characters. Both of my children loved this story so much that from that night forward they would only let me tell them stories about Hatty and Barty. I told these Hatty and Barty stories for several years. It was quite a stretch to my creativity after a while to keep coming up with new ideas and story subject matter but somehow I always managed to do so and I always enjoyed telling them.Sometimes when I was tired, I would get to the crucial point in the story and then tell my children "to be continued". Their response would be "No Dad! Finish the story!" Usually I wouldn't relent and then the next night sometimes I would forget the story I had started the night before and this would create greater consternation. ¿¿¿¿You the reader, have one benefit that my children did not always have; and that is all of the bedtime stories in these books, created many years ago, have an ending even though some still include the infamous "to be continued" phrase in them.I hope that you and your children will enjoy these stories as much as my children did listening to them when they were growing up.Grant Boyer- Shop: buecher

Fallen Angels, the Watchers, and the Origins of Evil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
Evil walked the earth when angels fell. Evil stalks us now in disembodied spirits; immortal wraiths once clothed in flesh when angel and women bred; spirits released from their fleshly prisons when their bodies were destroyed for drinking the blood of men. Evil also lives inside of the common man; set free when pride kills reason and eats integrity whole. There is evil that entraps us and evil that tugs from within. But neither have control until we choose to relent. Evil is a choice of action, of thoughts entertained too long, of arrogance pushing aside the last vestiges of compassion. Evil resides within the problem of choice. What is evil? Could it be as simple as pernicious selfishness? Could it be the drive for immediate gratification without regard for others? Man's life is limited; 100 years or less. But, the souls of angel and watcher are eternal. Consider how much evil can be wrought through the millennia of immediate gratification on an eternal scale. By contrasting and comparing ancient texts such as Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, the Bible, and various others containing stories of the creation of angels, demons, and man, a full and panoramic history of evil is produced. In this history the startling revelation of the descent of man and angels and the evolution of evil on earth is clearly revealed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matthew Weller.

Motivating Young People: To Succeed in the Christian Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
Did you know that many things we do, for instance, going to good schools, making money etc. are designed for us to survive here and now; but knowing God and serving him through Jesus is for us to live victoriously now and in eternity? This book is written to challenge Christian parents, guardians, Sunday School teachers, youth workers and everyone working with children; to consciously and passionately train the young people in the way of the Lord. Christian adults have a mandate from Jehovah God to train their young to be godly. "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6 - NIV). In this book, you will find some tips on ways to get our young people inspired to know and serve the Lord, through impacting the knowledge of the God who is interested in every part of their lives. In recent times, we hear a lot of disheartening things about how young girls go missing, with some of them willingly going away to join the radicals, while others are deceitfully taken away. Young men, irrespective of their religious background, become terrorists as they become brainwashed with erroneous teachings. As Christian adults, we must not relent in our effort to train the young people to receive Jesus and serve God, through him. We have got to be proactive in raising the next generation of Christians, who will be strong in God and cannot be easily deceived by erroneous teachings. ungekürzt. Language: English.
