The exact starting point of the Vietnam war cannot be set. The United States entered the war gradually, following certain steps which spread over a 15-year timeline, from 1950 to 1965. And even before that, one needs to take into account the interest France held prior in the region. In the second half of the 19th century, the French began to take control of Vietnam. At first, their intervention was meant to be a mere protectorate, but it gradually turned into possession by 1939. Together with Cambodia, Vietnam became known as a French colony belonging to French Indochina.

With the USS Obama again on a war footing, NCIS agent Jennifer Hobbs races against time to stave off a nuclear conflagration. Somebody has declared war on the US by targeting its new space program.

This story, highly fabricated though is, is written around my childhood understanding of a significant, singular incident in the life of my paternal grandfather. Because of my grandfather’s life in London, on the Canadian prairies and in Toronto, I am here and writing this story about an unsung hero, a most ordinary man. I dedicate this book to him, Harry Westley, a mudlark of sorts who loved meadowlarks...and to the memory of his son, my father, Frank.

In contemporary Christianity, the words "Church" and "Ekklesia" are often used as if they mean the same thing. However, this assumption overlooks their distinct origins, meanings, and implications. These terms are not synonymous but represent two different concepts shaped by history, language, and theology. "Ekklesia," a Greek word found throughout the New Testament, refers to an assembly or gathering of people called for a purpose. It is rooted in the idea of community and mission, emphasizing the relational and participatory nature of the early Christian movement.

Eschatology, the study of the "end times" or humanity’s ultimate destiny, has captivated the minds of believers across centuries and faith traditions. Rooted in the desire to understand the culmination of history and the fulfillment of divine promises, eschatology provides profound insights into the purpose of life and the hope for what lies beyond. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, three of the world’s most prominent monotheistic religions, each embrace eschatological frameworks that reflect their distinct theological foundations.

The concept of Kingdom advancement and dominion lies at the heart of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, serving as a framework for understanding divine authority, human responsibility, and the unfolding of history. While these monotheistic faiths share a belief in God's sovereignty and the ultimate establishment of divine rule, their interpretations of what it means to advance this Kingdom and exercise dominion vary significantly.

When we talk about placing a demand on a God-given anointing, we are speaking of an intentional act of faith—a deep expression of desire and hunger for the supernatural manifestation of Yahweh’s power. This is not about coercing or manipulating Yahweh, but about recognizing His divine provision and stepping into the realm where His power becomes active and transformative in our lives.

Throughout history, the Scriptures—comprising both of the Older and Newer Testaments—have served as a source of divine wisdom, guidance, and inspiration for countless individuals and communities. Among their many treasures are the profound announcements that echo across the ages, offering insight into Yahweh’s character, humanity’s purpose, and the unfolding of His redemptive plan. These declarations have not only shaped the spiritual lives of believers but have also profoundly influenced culture, ethics, and history.

Elon Musk is one of the most fascinating and controversial figures of our time. A visionary, bold, and relentless leader, he has redefined entire sectors of the global economy, from space exploration with SpaceX to the electric vehicle revolution with Tesla. But who is Elon Musk, really? What does the internet say about him? Is what we know a reflection of the truth, or just what he wants us to know?

US Army Sergeant Harry Archer has been listed as "missing in action" since the Vietnam War ended 40+ years ago. When he suddenly escapes his Vietnamese captors, he's armed with the knowledge of a classified top-secret agreement that was reached between former US President Richardson and North Vietnam's leader. The agreement enabled Vietnam to retain specific POWs with skills vital to rebuilding that country.

A single book with two completely different themes.

This book has been a long time coming, and there seems to be growing concerns about the reality of HELL and eternal retribution. It is my intent to offer a better understanding of the origin, history, and development of the doctrine of HELL, the Netherworld, or realm of the dead and damned. This generations fascination with death, HELL, and the afterlife have become prevalent in my lifetime. Halloween, Witchcraft and Horror Movies have captured the hearts and minds of most of this generation, and they romanticize and glorify vampirism, cannibalism, bestiality, and necromancy.

The earliest Christians were known not simply as believers or adherents of a new religion; they were called Followers of the Way. This title, taken from the words of Jesus Himself who declared, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”, reflected a profound understanding of what it meant to live in relationship with Messiah. To be a Follower of the Way was not merely to agree with a set of beliefs or participate in rituals.

Welcome to Kingdom of Priests: After the Order of Melchizedek, a booklet dedicated to exploring the profound mystery and purpose behind Yahweh’s calling of His people to a royal priesthood that transcends the old covenant. This unique priesthood, established “after the order of Melchizedek,” finds its ultimate fulfillment in Yahshua Messiah, our eternal High Priest, who invites believers into a new covenant relationship.

This book is addressing both the validity and contributions of mysticism to the Religion of Christianity, as well as the potential dangers of replacing sound doctrine with spiritual encounters and experiences. That being said, there are things about a rigid, inflexible approach to spiritual enlightenment that have resulted in dogmatic doctrine that continue to separate us from our common wealth we share together in Him.

The divine enablement of Yahweh is directly proportionate to the measure of Messiah’s gift operating within us. It is that measure which determines our spheres of influence and Kingdom Jurisdiction.

We are sons of the same Father and brothers of the same family, and we all have a place at the table in the Father's house. We are houses and families who agree with the prayer of Yahshua in John 17:21-26, and who fully embrace the Father's heart concerning our oneness in Ephesians 4:1-6.The Ekklesia and Kingdom are one in every locale and region around the world.

The topic of spiritual growth and development has been broadly spoken to in many essays, articles, and books. However, I would like to speak more directly to the four phases of my life and journey with the Sovereign. The first phase was all about me. The second phase was all about me and Him. The third phase was about Him and me, and the fourth phase has and is all about Him.

Building something new involves preparing the site for the foundation and building on the foundation according to specific plans/schematics or blueprints. Now, think about all of the above as it pertains to the house that Yahshua is building, which is His Father’s house.
