Arnold Krowneski is taken under the wing of his high school art teacher, Mrs. M. She sees great potential in his ability, so she introduces him to another friend, who owns an art gallery of great renown, one Mr. George Zukor, who in turn introduces the boy to the world of art. George promotes him, in an attempt to make his name synonymous with Dali and Picasso. Arnie's work was equal to these two giants of the art world, but his style was quite different. His work never had to be explained. You knew what it was the moment you saw it. The color, the subject, the story it told was like magic and you could get lost in a dream, just looking at them. He used a number of models for realism. He would pose them on a couch or a chair, but frequently ended up in bed with them. Some thing about him seemed to intrigue the ladies. So come along on his ride toward the top, to fame and riches. See the beauty in many of the things he saw on the way, and meet the people who would alter his, day- to-day existence, on his skyrocket to get there.
The bestselling and highly acclaimed Soul Savers series, with over 1 million sales and downloads, continues with Book 6, Unholy Torment. They’re gone. I’m still trying to process that fact, but I can’t. Although I have nowhere near enough life or leadership experience, I have to serve my purpose and lead the Angels’ army to war. But for every step we take, Lucas trumps it as he orchestrates the beginnings of World War III. Single-handedly, he turns the humans against the Amadis, and when Tristan and I top every country’s list of Most Wanted Terrorists, we’re forced to go underground to fight this war. With the help of my people and a group of unexpected allies, I have to figure out a way to stop the Daemoni from taking over humanity. Some claim Lucas to be the Antichrist. I won’t give him that credit, but he’s sure trying his best to prove me wrong. If it’s true, then we’ve all become part of an age-old prophecy of divine providence. But the Amadis will do everything we can to stop Lucas and change the world’s destiny, even if it means we die trying. * * * * * This is the sixth book in the dark fantasy series where you'll meet vampires, werewolves, witches, warlocks, and a new type of angel hybrid.

Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.
I'm the future leader of the angels' army on earth. He was created by the demons we fight. Our love could save the world—or end it. All I’ve ever wanted was a normal life, but two days before I’m supposed to leave for college, Mom wakes me up at the butt-crack of dawn so we can hit the road early. She acts like we can’t escape this city fast enough, but won’t explain. I know we have family secrets. She’s been guarding them from me all my life, supposedly with good reason. But after a bizarre attack by creatures that can’t possibly be real, I think it’s time for me to know the truth, with or without her help. I’ve barely started my covert investigation, though, when I meet Tristan Knight. He’s gorgeous, smart, and talented, and he seems to enjoy hanging out with me. I suddenly forget all about our enigmatic family and retreat behind my façade of normalcy. At least, until one fateful night when I discover he’s not normal either. The secrets begin to unravel. Supposedly, we’re fated mates, and our union brings hope to my family’s secret society, a/k/a the Angels’ army on earth. Our love could save the world. Or end it. Because the Angels aren’t the only ones who want us on their side. The Demons will stop at nothing to claim the ultimate power couple. After all, we’re a match made in Heaven—and in Hell. * * * * * Over 4,000 Five-Star Reviews (Goodreads/Retailers) Recommended Read by Midwest Book Review, RT Book Reviews, and USAToday “An exciting and fascinating fantasy of demons and angels, highly recommended.” - Midwest Book Review “Keeps the reader spellbound to the end, eager to discover what comes next.” - The Charlotte Sun “A fantastic epic love story.

Hell is a hot topic! The Bible teaches that unredeemed people will stand before God on Judgment Day and those whose names are not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. The Bible calls this the "second death." What is the nature of this second death? Will these people suffer fiery torment forever and ever, as has been taught since the time of Augustine in the early 5th Century? Or will they be BURNED UP-literally destroyed forever with no hope of resurrection? And what about universalism, the idea that everyone will ultimately be saved? The author used to subscribe to the eternal torture doctrine until he honestly studied the Scriptures and discovered what they plainly teach on the subject-EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION. The biblical evidence is actually overwhelming! Read HELL KNOW and see for yourself. HELL KNOW has been a hit on the internet for years. This is the NEW REVISED EDITION (2016) with 26 pages of NEW MATERIAL.
