Treasure refers to a store of very precious, valuable, and important things. And the Word of God tells us that where your treasure is, is where your heart will be. Why? Because it is very valuable and important to you; and losing it will deprive you of great joy and comfort. The greatest treasure of man is his soul, though many people do not know it. Many people lay up treasures for themselves on this earth. Many people lay up their money and treasure in banks; and that is where their hope and pride are. Others lay up their treasures in buildings, estates, cars, and others valuables. But the Word of God says, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal" (Matt. 6:19-20).
A debut middle-grade adventure about a young teen who goes on a treasure hunt for undersea riches to help his ailing abuelo. Twelve-year-old Fernando “Fin” joins his grandfather on a secret quest to find a long-lost treasure swept to sea. But when their first mission takes a near-deadly turn, leaving his abuelo weak and unable to speak, Fin’s left to navigate the hunt alone. Well, not exactly alone—his boring, totally unadventurous dad agrees to help out. With danger lurking at every turn, Fin dives into the mission in order to save Abuelo's life. But between Dad’s constant worrying, unwanted diving babysitters, and harrowing encounters in the deep sea, the boy finds himself in a race against time to locate the treasure. If he can’t succeed? He fears he might lose Abuelo for good. S.A. Rodriguez's Treasure Tracks is a fast-paced story filled with heart and humor about the bonds of family, the meaning of a legacy, and most of all, the discovery of true treasure.

On an adventure packed with secrets, hidden agendas, not to mention Gods and monsters, will Nefiri and Khafset succeed in their mission to save Egypt or will the very prejudices that have shaped their world threaten to tear them apart?
This book is a revelation of how God proves to thousands, probably millions, that He exists. He does not condemn sinners but loves us. With the Holy Spirit and His Word, He prepares us for heaven. We live in a spiritual world. Jesus says heaven is full of children where, I think, they learn all about Jesus, to believe in Him. Jesus knew their hearts and they were saved. For some reason God took them to Heaven early. Jesus says Heaven if full of such children. Archaeology helps prove ancient prophecies have come true, some in my lifetime and some yet to come. Dominions and kingdoms destroyed the original manuscript. God miraculously sent the word around the world, and in His time pulled manuscripts, parts of pages together again, page by page, maintaining its original meaning. So many miracles in the world. The Bible says if all He did were written in books, the world could hold them (John 21:25).
