ADAM
I’m no good for her, and I can't catch a break. Cast out of the MC, I'm on my own with no protection, just the gun in my hands. That's when I meet her. And I know I'm about to ruin her damn life.

Brimstone. Fire. Sinners. Users. This is who I share blood with. But there’s no one to trust when your whole crew has turned on you. I can't keep running from my demons. It's time to face them head on.




ROSE
I need an escape. This small town will be the death of me. I watch as he comes to claim me and I can't fight it. I wanted to make my family proud. I wanted to be their good daughter.


Not anymore. Not today. Not since I met him.



He knows who I am. He sees me from the inside. He protects me. He's my salvation, my one ticket out of here. But Adam is damaged. And he has a price on his head. Now we’re forced to go on the run, fighting off the Cartel and undercover Feds.



There's a fire on the horizon. We're going to get burned.

Mike, the sheriff of Beaver County, Oregon and his wife Kelly, the
owner of Kelly’s Koffee Shop, have just returned from a fly fishing
trip to Cuba. On the drive home from the airport Mike gets a call
informing him that the owner of Doggie Love Kennel, where they had
boarded their dogs when they were in Cuba, has been murdered. To make
matters worse, all of the dogs in the kennel, including Rebel and
Lady, have been released and are running loose in the surrounding
area. They immediately begin to search for their dogs as well as
trying to determine who killed Mary Barnes.

They have plenty of suspects to choose from: the druggie kennel
employee; the owner of the award winning Yorkie that was impregnated
while staying at the kennel; the disgruntled head of the Pit Bull
Sanctuary who was instructed by the owner of the kennel to get his pit
bulls off of the property within twenty-four hours; the impoverished
woman whose property is next to the luxurious kennel and is jealous of
the dogs being boarded there; the kennel manager; and her husband who
has anger issues. Will Mike and Kelly find the killer before the
killer comes after them? And what about the dog named Skyy? Is she
cute enough to make Mike rethink his decision to only have two dogs?
Can she worm her way into his heart?

The church, the body of Christ is on the cusp of greater things in Him. We are moving into the gospel of the Kingdom, better covenant theology, and supernatural lifestyle. Renowned Pastors, Teachers, and Apostles are preaching and writing dozens of books, posting videos and starting schools to birth the supernatural lifestyle as normal Christianity. In all of this preaching, and in books and videos, I find one thing missing. How do we enter into the Kingdom of God, right now, on this earth? How do we enter into the new covenant relationship with the Lord to manifest these glorious new lifestyles? Covenant Baptism has the answers to propel the body of Christ into these truths. God has commissioned us, His body, to make the earth as it is in heaven. We bring are to the Kingdom of Heaven to the earth. The Lord has given us the tools needed to do so.
Our Lord Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom. On the day of Pentecost Peter reveled these keys and three thousand were saved. It was the birth of the church. Within a few hundred years understanding of the keys were lost. Martin Luther found understanding of the first key; repentance, and thereby the Protestant movement was birthed. In the 1900’s, by the Welch revival and Azusa Street, the Holy Spirit brought understanding of another key, receiving the Holy Spirit. The Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements were born. Now Covenant Baptism brings fuller understanding of the third Key, the doctrine of baptisms. This is key to the birth of the Kingdom Movement and new and better covenant theology.
In Covenant Baptism you will find answers to:

• Is water baptism only a ritual show of the work Jesus already did in one at salvation?
• Is water baptism required for salvation? Hint, no. However, is it required for greater things?
• Jesus said that we cannot enter into, or even perceive the Kingdom of God, unless we are born of the water and the Spirit. What did He mean by that?
• What does it mean to be truly Born Again?
• What is required to become a partaker of the new covenant? Is there a separate act, similar to circumcision in Abraham’s covenant, to enter the new and better covenant of Hebrews 8:6, 10-13?
• Are the baptism in the Holy Spirit and Fire, and receiving, being filled with, the Holy Spirit the same thing?
• If not, do I need both?
• What are the four supernatural works that the Bible teaches happens to us in water baptism?
• If I don’t have the peace of Jesus, if I don’t manifest the power gifts of the Spirit, could it be because I am missing the full understanding of the New Covenant and Covenant Baptism?
• What was John the Baptist talking about when he described the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire as threshing wheat and gathering the straw to be burned?
• Was John the Baptist talking about a real threshing floor in Luke 3:17?
• Why did God seek to kill Moses just days after meeting with him out of the burning bush?
• When Adam and Eve were cast out, why did God have to set an angel with a fiery sword at the gate of the garden? What does this have to do with my salvation?
Richard Yarbrough has taught these principles for over forty years. He has seen hundreds of people’s Christian walk reach new levels of power and glory when they acted on the teachings of Covenant Baptism. This teaching is not new. It is a better understanding of the doctrine of baptisms as taught in the first century church. Richard Yarbrough has scripture quotes on every page to guide you through the wonders that the Lord Jesus Christ is instilling in His Church. Like Luther’s protestant movement and the Pentecostal/ Charismatic Movement; Covenant Baptism will usher in a paradigm shift in the body of Christ. The Kingdom of God is at hand, within our grasp. We must be born of water and the Spirit to fully enter in to it!

Spy by night, blogger by day, Zelda Alpizar becomes infected by a contagion known to civilians as guilt, forcing her to choose between following orders or intervening to save two watchmen. Their trance-like lethargy makes them the ideal storage drives for a detonation code. Decrypting it could have lethal side-effects. Though the most important thing Zelda will ever find, the boundary between good and evil is of little value in a place where the only legend reads Here There Be Monsters.

Security guards, harbingers of dawn, are they not warriors? Beneath the polyester Travis and Alex consist of flesh and blood. A predator stalks them, more implacable than skateboarders. Putting your tax dollars to work, the NSA discovers that human storage devices offer greater security than digital ones. Dead drives tell no tales. Like all their secrets it’s soon available to the highest bidder. When Zelda infiltrates a secret society lending this service to terrorists, she sees how the private sector can be almost as wicked and incompetent as the government.

They should have chosen a more secure password. “Mary Weatherworth” is also an adult actress beloved by security guards, and an urban legend reputed to appear in mirrors when summoned thrice. Busy lady. This ambiguity entwines discrepant parties in strange ways. Connected to them all by one degree of separation, the sausage link in a karmic chain, Maestoso the Dachshund waddles across this remorseless battlefield, observing the chaos, perhaps resolving it. Avoid eye contact. You don’t want him inside your head.

Set amid the entropy of the mortgage meltdown, Schrödinger's Dachshund prowls the shades of gray separating science from the paranormal, internet memes from philosophy, and unpleasant necessity from evil.

She trained for stealth in the jungles of Vietnam, honed her martial arts skills in Bangkok, and mastered sniper precision deep in the Thailand countryside. But the revenge business is not an easy business. The gangsters are mean, their bosses dirty, and the cops are the worst of all.

If you love a great African American urban free book, do as Mary Mary say. Go Get It, go get your blessing.  In the African American urban jungle free is not a word that applies to respect, it has to be earned. Michelle earns it at every turn.
 

Jack Caufield never imagined that he would wake up one day and find a dead woman in his bed. That sort of thing wasn’t supposed to happen to guys like him. He was on his way to law school, but instead of fielding Socratic questions from law professors, he finds himself facing the third degree from a bunch of angry cops. Despite their efforts, they find nothing incriminating, and Jack is allowed to get on with his education and his life.

Over the next fifteen years, he becomes a modestly successful corporate lawyer, a well-paid but insignificant cog in the Wall Street machine. He’s resigned to playing a disappointing role in the system that he has come to disdain, until he learns that his encounter with that unlucky girl may not have been coincidental. Confronted with the possibility that the men who run the prestigious financial institution that he now represents may have been involved in a shocking conspiracy, his search for the truth is complicated by the knowledge that discovering it could cost him the career that he’s spent his life chasing.

Peripheral Involvement explores Jack’s struggle to reconcile the reality of his life against his expectations and to refine his understanding of success. Along the way, it looks at the absurdity of the modern-day financial industry, the current state of the American Dream, our propensity for self-deception… and baseball.

If you want to make positive changes in your life and achieve your long-term goals, I can’t think of a better way to do it than to learn how to become more self-disciplined.

Here are just a couple things you will learn from the book:

- what a bank robber with lemon juice on his face can teach you about self-control. The story will make you laugh out loud, but its implications will make you think twice about your ability to control your urges.

- how $50 chocolate bars can motivate you to keep going when faced with an overwhelming temptation to give in.

- why President Obama wears only gray and blue suits and what it has to do with self-control (it’s also a possible reason why the poor stay poor).

- why the popular way of visualization can actually prevent you from reaching your goals and destroy your self-control (and what to do instead).

- what dopamine is and why it’s crucial to understand its role to break your bad habits and form good ones.

- 5 practical ways to train your self-discipline. Discover some of the most important techniques to increase your self-control and become better at resisting instant gratification.

- why and when indulging yourself can actually help you build your self-discipline. Yes, you can stuff yourself (from time to time) and still lose weight.

Instead of sharing with you the detailed "why" (with confusing and boring descriptions of studies), I will share with you the "how" – advice that will change your life if you decide to follow it.

You too can master the art of self-discipline and learn how to resist temptations. Your long term goals are worth it. Scroll up and buy the book now.
