Noahs ark is perhaps the most widely recognized story in the world. Found in many cultures the world over. I have selected three of the better known versions, from the Christian, Jewish and Islam traditions. While all three come from a common origin they vary in their tradition and the telling of this awe-inspiring tale. The differences between the Christian and the Jewish traditions are minimal and both share the Old Testament. But in Jewish tradition it tells of a Noel planting Cedar trees and waiting for them to grow because in truth he could not bear to see the destruction of the world. The holy Quran gives us another view of Noahs life, and clearly references a fourth son and wife who perished in the flood even after receiving the warning promise of water coming from an oven. It also tells us that there were other believers who survived along with Noah and his family.Holy Bible; Genesis 6-9Holy Torah; Genesis Parshas Bereishis 6-9.Holy Quran; Surah 11:27-51Gabriel was a lion that found favor with God. But he never imagined a greater task than the one in which God had chosen for him. Gabriel of Noahs Ark is a tale taken from three of the worlds holy books, the Christian Bible, the Jewish Torah, and the Muslim Quran and told like you never heard it before.Learn the challenges Noah must face with a suborn wife who was much too busy to listen to her husbands rants and a fourth son who excused his fathers warning as nothing more than fairy tales. Learn why the Raven never returned from its outing over the waters and why he was the only creature who would dare argue with Gods commandment.Find out how even Noah tried to stall Gods plan and found it hard to believe that God would destroy the world. Never before have all three versions been woven into one story until now. Open your mind and heart and read the tale you only thought you knew, and get ready to set sail on an adventure of Biblical proportions.

It just didn't make sense as Bryn had received photographs of her and her new husband honeymooning in Europe. Confused but determined to find her kidnappers and bring them to justice, she hires a private detective, Red, but he comes with baggage of his own, which he has to work through before he can help her.

When an international assassin comes after them, Red sends them to a place of safety, where Kate must learn to defend herself. To make matters worse for Kate, she discovers Bryn is gay and a male prostitute to the rich, employed by her ex-fiancé, who organizes these orgies. Tormented by the spider that runs up and down her back, Kate must find her inner strength and, together with Fiona and Red, go down a terrifying path of drugs, sex, and murder, before coming out in a peaceful white tent.

Among his best work. Markland pushes emotions and his story moves considerably straight forward as opposed to the up and downs which is typical with most of his works. However, he does reach for a very sentimental end as he does in his other novels. In this book, Paul C. Markland, gives the reader inspiration to consider their own life, as well as their actions and connections to others. An exercise, everyone should consider doing, every so often. - Raymond Shook, M.A.Originally, "The Reason" was based on a true story. As a child, I always questioned "the reason" for my existence. I wanted to know. I needed to know. This query intensified as I grew older. Regardless of my accomplishments, I still pondered my purpose in life: that is, my reason for living. While writing this work, certain aspects of my childhood were brought to light. Aspects I hid for most of my life. Even my siblings had no idea.Based on the recommendation of my wife, I presented "The Reason" as a fictional story rather than a factual one. In the process, I wrote about the faith that I once preached. In the end, there was resolution. So I thought. With the advancements in technology also comes new insights. In the process of publishing this book, DNA has opened pandora's box. What I once thought was truth, is anything but the truth. Again, I am considering "The Reason"

One-Room School began as a daily blog to readers needing encouragement. The collection that comprises One-Room School is inspired by Luke's compilation of eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. Each daily lesson was inspired by the idea of being alone in the classroom, one-on-one with Jesus. The Teacher's desire for his students is that they not only listen but respond with all their "body, mind, soul and strength."
Our current political system puts too much power in the hands of the few, often producing ineffective results. The Solution proposes a plan that restricts the size and scope of the federal government while increasing the direct influence of the people. The goal is to make government simpler with full public accountability.The book is divided into four sections. Two describe the various reasons why big government programs often fail and refute the reasons often cited for why they should. Parts three and four propose a fix to the political system: first, a number of Constitutional Amendments aimed at making government function in an updated version of the founders' intent. Secondly, several policy recommendations that repair and replace nonfunctional programs and deal with a number of existing political and social issues."This is an entertaining, provacative, and thoughtful presentation of one man's opinion on the federal government". - Foreward Clarion Review"The Solution is a spirited and compelling look at what ails America and how to fix it". - Blueink Review"This is a wide-ranging analysis that covers everything." - Kirkus Review
