Grazer 1
$19.98Asteroids and comets travel through our solar system like runaway freight trains on a collision course with anything that might come in their way. Earth has had its experiences with these planet-colliding objects before, including one that crashed in the Yucatan Peninsula some 65 million years ago, causing what scientists believe today to be the Ice Age. It will happen again. The question to ask is when? Hale McCormick Trask (H.M.) is an ordinary person waiting for direction in life when he logs onto an Internet contest that will change his life forever. The winner spends two weeks aboard Grazer I, an international solar-array space station used to study ultraviolet light, near earth objects, and short period comets that come in contact with the sun. What he does not realize is that his life is about to be changed from fame to destiny. What starts out as a space contest for fame and recognition just could end up in the ultimate struggle for survival for him and all humanity.

$15.99JOSHUA AND THE SHEPHERD
A GENTLEMAN NAMED JOSHUA AND A SIMPLE MESSAGE THAT COULD REVOLUTIONIZE THE CHURCH…
It is the end of a bitter cold winter. A crowd of people files into a cathedral to celebrate the consecration of a new bishop-a good man, they think, strict in doctrine but capable of compassion. A man of tradition, not of reform. A ‘company man.’ His name is David Campbell.
And sitting in the last pew of the cathedral is a clean-shaven man of ordinary build, with gentle hazel eyes. His name is Joshua.
Within twenty-four hours of his first encounter with Joshua, David Campbell will propose the most far-reaching reforms in a millennium, reforms to destroy sectarian barriers, reforms to change the direction of the church, reforms to return Christianity to its founders with a simple message. With Joshua as his mentor, David Campbell-the Shepherd-preaches to Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, and Jews of the universal truth of God’s love. It is a message that changes everyone it touches. And no one who reads Joshua and the Shepherd will ever forget it.
