Have you heard about “God’s mystery”? Were you aware that when God finally revealed the truth of this mystery, its power changed the course of history? What is God’s Mystery? opens anew the door to God’s greatest plan, and explains how it continues to affect each of us today. Plus, have you ever been asked other questions about the Bible that were difficult to answer? We have. These inquiries have come from church members, our family, close friends, and even our own curiosity. As an example, how would you answer a question like, “If God made everything (John 1:3) and everything was good (Genesis 1:31), then where did Satan and the demons come from?” People have wrestled with questions such as, “When we die do we become angels and play harps in heaven? What does the Bible tell us about hell, or the date of the end of time? How can we know God’s will for our lives?” Also, what does the Bible say about personal issues such as drinking wine, going to the movies, watching television, or judging others? What is God’s design for sex and marriage in today’s changing world? Did you realize Jesus actually mentions four conditions of man? These were questions that we felt deserved deeper answers than the traditional responses. Our concentrated search into God’s Word has resulted in discoveries, supported by scripture, that we believe are so important they need to be made available for anyone who honestly desires to know God’s will. We believe you will find this study very rewarding. And, more importantly, it might spark an interest in studying the Bible that will help you better know its real Author – the Lord God Almighty.

Building on his "superb" (Washington Post) debut, The Meaning of Night, Michael Cox returns to a murderous nineteenth-century England. Like its "beguiling" and "intelligent" (New York Times Book Review) predecessor, The Glass of Time is a page turning period mystery about identity, the nature of secrets, and what happens when past obsessions impose themselves on an unwilling present. In the autumn of 1876, nineteen year-old orphan Esperanza Gorst arrives at the great country house of Evenwood to become a lady's maid to the twenty-sixth Baroness Tansor. But Esperanza is no ordinary servant. She has been sent by her guardian, the mysterious Madame de l'Orme, to uncover the secrets that her new mistress has sought to conceal, and to set right a past injustice in which Esperanza's own life is bound up. At Evenwood she meets Lady Tansor's two dashing sons, Perseus and Randolph, and finds herself enmeshed in a complicated web of seduction, intrigue, deceit, betrayal, and murder. Few writers are as gifted at evoking the sensibility of the nineteenth century as Michael Cox, who has made the world of Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins his own.
