Something Special In a country and time where a person's value is determined by the colour of their skin, only trouble can result when a coloured boy meets a beautiful White girl.

The Making of a Personal Evangelist, as the title suggests, is more about becoming an evangelist than it is about the method employed. Jesus told us that if we follow Him He will make us to become fishers of men - He would transform us into evangelists. The Making of a Personal Evangelist is a course that lays out the life principles, that if followed, will transform men and women into evangelists even before they adopt a method. The method subsequently just becomes the tool to get the job done. This is not a book for the casual student. Both teacher and student need to be serious about reaching the lost, and about submitting to the process of becoming what they may not initially feel qualified to be. It is about allowing Jesus Christ to make them into fishers of men. For those who are willing to accept the challenge, this book will doubtless be of inestimable value.

As useful as books on prayer by human authors can be, actual Biblical examples of Prayer are even better. Men may tell us of their own experiences in their pursuit of God through prayer, and benefit us greatly. Prayer as revealed in Scripture can provide us with an even better idea of what prayers please God, and of those that do not. This book, and those to follow, seeks to present prayer as the Bible describes it. With no pretense to personal expertise, I send forth this book, confident that God will bless His own Word.

Was Skip Jordan's life saved for a special reason when he was four years old? Has he been destined, like Joseph in the Bible, to save many people from death? Will Skip's special friends, Nancy and Ashley, find they have had to pay too high a price for joining with him in the fight? Will the destructive practice of witchcraft prevail? Will their youth and inexperience spell defeat for them, or will they be able to draw on strength not their own? At the age of thirteen Skip Jordan begins having horrific dreams. In them he recognises several of his friends staring up in fascination at a rainbow sky. It is really a veil. Behind it a host of demons stare malevolently down at them. In their desperate attempt to save their friends, they are aided by Skip's guardian, aunt May, and by a number of prayer warriors both at home, and across the sea. In the course of their journey they have to overcome a mysterious power named, 'The Looming Menace.' They confront a number of 'lying wonders, ' and face death more than once. Unknown to Skip and the girls there is a battle going on in the heavenly places between angels and demons. All these battles are focused on these three young people called to face impossible odds. This is a novel for young and old alike, a combination of fantasy, drama, and adventure that nevertheless confronts the heart with truth and light.
