Prophet of Israel
by Timothy S. Wilkinson
As the Iron Age dawns in Palestine, darkness threatens to consume the nation of Israel. The visionaries who had once guided the people are gone. High Priest Eli allows corruption to infect even the Tabernacle, the holiest place in the land, home of the Eternal Flame and the sacred Ark of the Covenant. Hordes of Philistines ravage the countryside, led by a merciless warlord and bolstered by the might of a race of giants. As the legendary warriors of the children of Abraham challenge their enemies in sprawling battlefields, fortified cities, and dark forests, the key to their survival waits, ignorant of his destiny, in the Tabernacle. A child. A Seer. A Prophet of Israel.

The Seventh Mountain
by Gene Curtis
An engrossing fantasy novel that will entertain young readers and engage the adult mind alike. Gene Curtis's The Seventh Mountain reflects the influence of JK Rowling, Orson Scott Card and C.S. Lewis. Readers will find familiar plot devices, but also unique twists and a rich allegorical subtext. A letter in the family Bible leads Mark Young, a twelve year-old boy, to a mysterious staff hidden beneath a sacred mountain. The next thing Mark knows, he is a student at the Seventh Mountain, an academy for Magi in training. Mark must not only endure the physical and mental rigors of the school, but fight off the bullies and outwit other students in a place where practical jokes and mock-assassinations are not only tolerated but encouraged. But a darker force awaits. Joined by his closest friends, Mark must find within himself the strength and faith to fulfill his destiny and challenge the dark forces that lurk beneath The Seventh Mountain.
Book
Joshua's Family
by Joseph F. Girzone
This engaging prequel to Joseph Girzone’s bestselling series, which has sold more than 5 million books in the United States, describes Joshua’s early years and the first inklings of his destiny as a messenger of love in a troubled world. Millions of readers around the world have followed the story of the gentle woodcarver and carpenter who was first introduced in 1983 in Joseph Girzone’s beloved parable, Joshua. In JOSHUA’S FAMILY, Girzone travels back in time, painting a captivating portrait of the mother and father who nurtured Joshua and of the friends and neighbors who viewed the unusually precocious child with an uneasy balance of wonder and skepticism. Joshua’s extraordinary nature and mysterious gifts come to light even as he participates in the ordinary routines of small-town life: his gentleness and loving spirit imbue his interactions with contemporaries and adults alike. As he grows from child to adolescent, Joshua gradually awakens to the knowledge that he has been placed on earth for a special reason. Leaving the comforts of family and a familiar world, he moves to the outskirts of a distant town, where he will begin to teach others how the powers of love, tolerance, and understanding can heal the divisions in the human family and bring everlasting peace to the world. This is the book so many have been waiting for, and its powerful message is a much-needed antidote to the difficulties in today’s world.
