Double the fun in this story with bonded siblings, Onyx and Jasper! adventures, a big surprise and a happy ending make this one a must-read.In our Old Testament Snapshot study we talked about the prophecies and how important they would be to those who were going to be around when Jesus was alive. The prophecies were so important that without them the people would have had a hugely, mondo difficult time, probably impossible, in recognizing the Messiah when He finally came. God knew that the people would need positive proof that Jesus was the Messiah. God just didn't provide one or two prophecies to show the people that Jesus was the Messiah. There were literally thousands of prophecies that He had to fulfill and He did just that. In this study we will begin looking at the different things that Jesus did to fulfill prophecy, and to touch humanity in a way that no one else could. Since He was God, He was able to heal the sick and the lame. He was able to give sight to the blind. He had the power of life and death, so He could bring people back to life. He did some truly amazing things during His three-year ministry but still many of the people that saw Him do this stuff still did not believe that He was the Messiah. They were so blinded by Satan that it was nearly impossible for some of them to ever believe in Jesus. Satan is very good at what he does. After all, he was the highest created being. That means he was the most powerful, the most beautiful and the smartest creature that ever existed. Satan is no dummy, he knows just how to keep people from seeing God the way He truly is.

Junker's Moon Scrap, Salvage and Servicing Company had never been attacked before but that didn't mean its base of operations was unprepared. Marshall Brion began the day with no idea that within a few hours he would need all the concentrated expertise of three generations of Brions. Space pirates were inbound to the station. They were something to be feared but also to be repelled at all costs.All over the world, young Muslims are watching closely at the developments that are happening around the area between Iraq and Syria, the activities of ISIS. Many are contemplating on the idea of joining the ISIS and become Jihadis.All over the world, nations are worried about their quality young men and women leaving for ISIS.All over the world, especially in the USA, UK, and India, people are discrediting and discriminating against Muslims and Islam, because of what the terrorists did or do or plan to do in the name of Islam, misusing a holy path that says how to realize humanity, how to live the right way to become eligible to enter heaven.All over the world, forces working against governments and humanity, promise youngsters to become Jihadis to be welcomed at the heavens by 'pure virgins' and be provided with all the comforts.All over the world, everyone is promised the heavens but all are having one hell of an issue - This.The book, 'American Jihadi', is for all those promising youngsters, who are being promised by all and sundry.This book is for all those who want to understand why and how terrorists are created and by whom.This book is for all those governments who must be given the wakeup-call now or never.And, all who love an action-oriented Hollywood movie in a Book form.John Madison, Texan, oil refinery expert, a thoroughbred American, who doesn't have a high opinion of Muslims and Islam, but who does have exotic dreams of Arabian Nights and Belly Dancers, was asked to go relocated to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It all starts well, what with a strange woman as his co-passenger next seat, a woman with a stunning frame no man or woman can resist, a woman who could very much be his femme-fatale.His dreams of an exotic Arabian adventure vanish as his flight lands at Riyadh, and when he finds the atmosphere there hostile. Along with a general bad feeling towards Americans and America, there were rioters forcing the refinery under his care, almost nonfunctional. But being a diehard optimist, and an authority in persuading people to do what he thinks right, he plans on having an understanding with all his coworkers, to establish a harmonious situation that would facilitate a peaceful living and working condition in the desert kingdom, at least in his refinery.He begins his efforts, to understand Muslims and Islam in general, and succeeds, along with the discovery of what is happening around the Middle East cauldron, and how his own country's espionage agency was involved in creating a volatile atmosphere around the world in which terrorists and dictators thrive.He successfully reaches an accord with his coworkers, finally, and bonhomie prevails.But the short-lived harmony gets shattered to pieces with incidents he would never understand.And with his very life on the block, he soon finds out what, why, and how.Along with the true meaning of the words, Muslim, Islam, Jihad and Jihadi.And he becomes the AMERICAN JIHADI.I am American.I know I am the strongest.But am I the greatest?I need more oil for my countryAnd more gas for my car.But to have Arab oil in my handsShould I spill Arab blood in their sands?I know I am the strongest.But am I the greatest?Only he who dares taking responsibility shall Stand up and say I am American.Why the USA government has to be spending more of its taxpayers’ billions on its war on terror instead of on its citizens’ Healthcare and Personal income improvement?It was the USA government’s bullying attitude that sowed the seeds for the terrorists that exist in Afghanistan and other countries today. The war on terror is actually a war that it brought upon itself. According to the Annual US Treasury Report on Spending and Revenue for the years 1999-2012, closer to 3 percent of the total GDP was spent extra on defense, in addition to the allotted defense budget, seemingly on the war on terror. This money could very well be spent on Healthcare, if there’s no war on terror.
