Excerpt from The Messenger, Vol. 14: December, 1916 It was on a cold and snowy day in Virginia during the time of the Civil War that a little cabin stood on the outskirts of a small town. In this cabin lived an Old, Old woman and her little grandson. The little child's father was fighting for the Confederacy and his mother and little son, whose mother had died in former days, had taken refuge here. Here they often prayed that the life of their son and father would be spared from the wielding sword of the huge monster called war.

Dash never asked to be a mech pilot, but fate has other plans. On the run and out of chances, he guides his ship and crew into the heart of a relic older than the galaxy itself-and find himself on the edge of an eternal war he never knew existed. The relic is a mech, lost to history and forgotten by all who remain. Built by an ancient race to be the ultimate weapon, the machine is capable of unspeakable destruction, and its discovery could unhinge the balance of power throughout known space. Worse still, the A.I. inside the machine speaks of an ancient evil that will soon arrive--a race whose power far exceeds anything humanity has ever witnessed. Only the Messenger can stand against them, the A.I. tells its new pilot. Only you can do what must be done.
Excerpt from The Messenger, Vol. 14: November 1916 Plattsburg having met with such a success, a few interested people began to plan a boy's camp, founded on the same principles, only adapted to the requirements of boys. Accordingly, last January a group Of school principals and other interested people met to discuss this camp. At this meeting arose the question of a site. Where would the camp be? Major General Wood, who was present, made a suggestion that did much to turn the camp from an amateurish attempt into a perfected plan carried out by experts. How about a coast artillery post? He said. How would you like to take the boys to Plum Island, for ex ample? Immediately every one grasped this Offer that solved the question of where the camp should be. This wholly military island, with its fine opportunities to get close to military ways was ideal. Therefore, on July sixth, the boys landed on Plum Island in droves. The wharf was strewn from one end to the other with grips, suit cases, and trunks. We were lined up in two single columns, and as we gave our names to a man at a large desk, he assigned us to our respective companies. When we had gone to our companies and our names had been taken again, we were free to roam about the island until supper time; or, as it is called in the army, mess. About eight o'clock we were all formed in the company street and placed according to height. We were then assigned to tents, eight men to each; and, as it was about time for taps, we all set about making up our cots. As the work was entirely new to us, we had some pretty poor specimens of bed-making. The real work, which began the next day, was as follows. At blew the most cruel call of the daily programme - it meant onlyfifteen minutes to attach the various habiliments of a soldier and turn out for roll call and calisthenics. These occupied twenty minutes and consisted of exercises for every muscle of the body. Often a short run down the road was included, to work up an appetite.

This book narrates the life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, shedding light upon segments of his life that are either neglected or glossed over in conflict-focused biographies. The narrations in this book revolve around the Prophet's various strategies of diplomacy and reconciliation to avoid conflicts. In narrating these events, the book helps the readers broaden their perspective on the life of the Messenger of God and better capture the ethos of his life. Indeed, both Muslims and non-Muslims may benefit from this understanding at a time when violent extremist groups such as ISIS are causing carnage with their brutality while dressing their totalitarian ideologies in Muslim garb. The book exposes the hypocritical and willful deception of these radical groups which cherry-pick incidents and sayings from the Prophet's life, decontextualize them, and abuse them to serve their perverted ideologies. The extensive evidence presented in this book will not only dispel many myths about the life and message of the Noble Prophet, but also show how through compassionate efforts he conquered the hearts of people around him and turned them from die-hard enemies to devoted faithful friends.
