Description

<p>New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em>, winner of the <strong>Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY</strong>....</p><h1><strong><em>The Children of Darkness</em> by David Litwack</strong></h1><p>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series <em>The Seekers</em>. [DRM-Free]</p><h2><strong>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</strong></h2><p><em>“But what are we without dreams?”</em></p><p>A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.</p><p>Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em></strong></p>

Story Behind The Book

Children have as much trouble as adults with unforgiveness. While teaching Children's Ministry I searched for a way to describe in 'bite-sized pieces' what a grudge was, how it grew and the way to be free from it in all forms. Adults are holding bible studies with the book, large ministries (like Joyce Meyer's Ministry) are teaching from "Don't Hug A Grudge" and its illustrations, and it is being added as teaching materials to International Victory Bible Institute curriculum in nearly 1,000 bible schools around the world.

The pictures and the simple way it shares the story make it unforgettable. We had this book many years ago, but it got lost with all the moves. We knew we had to have a copy to share these truths with our new friends here in Russia. </span></span></span></span></td> </tr></tbody></table><p> </p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td align="right" valign="top" width="0"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;">  </span></span></td> <td align="left" style="font-size:15px;" valign="top" width="100%"> <div class="h3color tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Don't Hug a Grudge</strong>, March 30, 2009</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><span style="font-size:14px;">By </span></td> <td><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3CTWRE2H8GOE4/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:14px;">Alexis <span style="white-space:nowrap;">Shaw<img alt="" class="custPopRight" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/carrot._V47081519_.gif" style="border-bottom:medium none;border-left:medium none;border-top:medium none;border-right:medium none;" /></span></span></span></a></td> </tr></tbody></table></div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><strong><span class="h3color tiny"><span style="font-size:14px;">This review is from: </span></span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Hug-Grudge-English-Spanish/dp/0881442178/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj"><span style="font-size:14px;">Don't Hug a Grudge (English and Spanish Edition) (Paperback)</span></a></strong></div> <span style="font-size:14px;">This is an excellent book.

You can either forgive the person,<br /> or not. If you can't forgive, you develop worse attitudes which causes up to hatred of the person. Hatred<br /> ruins all relationships for many years and spreads from one family to another. One simple &quot;I forgive you&quot;<br /> brings love and good feelings between people. Many wars could be prevented with this one statement. </span></span></td> </tr></tbody></table><p><br /> See more reviews on Donna's Blog <a href="http://www.DonnaPeruginiChildrensAuthor.com">http://www.DonnaPeruginiChildrensAuthor.com</a> under the tab Reader's Reviews</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p> </p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></td> <td> </td> </tr></tbody></table><p> </p> <p> </p>
