Grazer 1
$15.99Add to cartAsteroids and comets travel through our solar system like runaway freight trains on a collision course with anything that might come in their way.

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.

Misadventures Of Jon Lee 2
$13.49Add to cartThe Misadventures of Jon Lee adventure series is written on the same principles as are good jokes. Without the last chapter, each adventure is exciting and fun, with many of life’s valuable lessons being taught and learned throughout it. The last chapter of each story (The punch line) draws several spiritual word pictures for its young readers, and parallels the proceeding pages with truths found in God’s Word. Follow Jon Lee Parker in this volume (From ages 13-15) and his friends as they learn valuable spiritual lessons and principals during exciting adventures in the Big Woods of New York State. In this book are two stories. The Bully, and Jon and Cindy.
The following is an excerpt from the last chapter of The Bully. There was a loud ‘crack’ and a huge cloud of dust bellowed from the bottom and top of the shaft. Large chunks of concrete crashed down out of it onto the cavern floor, missing Jon and Butch by mere inches. The recovery cable Butch was connected to was, however, still drawing him up into the shaft. Jon shouted frantically into his helmet microphone for Roy to make them stop the wench. But would there be enough time?

An intense and thought-provoking novel, Eli strips away religious tradition to present Jesus fresh and unvarnished.
