Stone of Truth

Stone of Truth

Donna J. Farris

Nonfiction

When the Simpson family moves to Plymouth, Teacher Trinity finds herself drawn into the center of a raging national storm. “Do the Ten Commandments have a place in public education? Do they represent absolute truth or are they merely the delusions of religious fanatics?” Sinister forces rage as Miss Trin is forced to not only defend absolute truth, but must try and save her job in the process.“But Edith never allowed Gary to have the final word in any argument. She yanked the blankets up over her shoulders and turned on her side away from her husband mumbling, 'Christians! What idiots! Anyone who actually believes some imaginary god tells them how to live has no business teaching future generations of this country. The sooner this myth is expelled from public education, the better. And I’ll work to make that happen whether you like it or not, Gary Simpson! And good night yourself!'"*************Trinity Woodard had taught fifth graders for years in her home town of Plymouth, Wisconsin. The hallmark of her success rested upon her Christian faith and a conviction that God had made every child precious. She believed God had gifted each one with unique skills to accomplish His loving plan for their lives. She was proud to be numbered among a dwindling group of public education instructors who still believed that only by following God’s ways could a child find real joy and fulfillment in life.But when atheist Gary Simpson, a high-powered attorney, and Edith his wife, an ambitious newspaper reporter, move to town and enroll their son, Derrick, into Ms. Woodward’s class, Trin’s life is turned upside down. As sinister forces wage war against the display of the Ten Commandments in her classroom and challenge its claim to represent absolute moral truth, Trinity is drawn into the center of a raging national battle. Facing powerful human conspiracies, invisible demonic plots, visible angelic interventions and divine decrees, Miss Trin must not only fight to save her job, but finds herself called upon to publicly defend ultimate truth itself. Like all stories found in the Divine Commissions series, Stone of Truth draws back the thin veil separating the physical world from this eternal, spiritual realm allowing readers a glimpse into the world of angels and demons. Readers will discover God’s heart of love for rebellious man and see His redemptive plan in motion. They will gain insight into both the power and limits of the Devil and his demons. Readers will also come to understand how to stand against such forces of evil and how holy messengers of light intervene to assist according to the will of God Almighty.Christian parents will appreciate the redemptive messages woven throughout each of the Divine Commission adventures, as themes challenge young readers to personally apply biblical truths to their own, every-day moral dilemmas. And by joining the online community of readers on the Divine Commissions blog, readers have a chance to share their evangelistic insights with other online readers, thereby reaching others with the good news of God’s love and plan for all people. Stone of Truth is Volume II in the Christian fantasy series, Divine Commissions, chronicling the heavenly adventures of Eli and Jasmine, Servants of the Most High God.

Scientists and Intellectuals in Entertainment

Scientists and Intellectuals in Entertainment

William Haloupek

Science / Science Fiction & Fantasy / Religion & Spirituality

Scientists and intellectuals are often poorly portrayed by the entertainment industry. An easy choice for an evil antagonist is a mad scientist. An equally easy choice for a ridiculous fool is a scientist without common sense. These stereotypes are reinforced again and again in movies, television and literature. It’s amazing when any child grows up wanting to be a scientist, in our culture.If the general public has misconceptions about scientists, it is not hard to see why. Scientists and other intellectuals are often poorly portrayed by the entertainment industry. An easy choice for an evil antagonist is a mad scientist. An equally easy choice for a ridiculous fool is a scientist without common sense. These stereotypes are reinforced again and again in movies, television and literature. It’s amazing when any child grows up wanting to be a scientist, in our culture.The undermining of scientists’ public image is especially acute in science fiction. The genre appeals to people who are interested in science, and they are badly served by writers who misrepresent scientists as bumbling idiots or evil megalomaniacs. The early history of science fiction has some of the best examples.

This is a poetic compilation which includes some prose and is somewhat autobiographical in nature. It spans from childhood to present day so has some mature themes, making it suitable from young teens up. It is a journey which I invite you to embark on. There is a definite spiritual context running through it. It is best read in HTML and PDF format for the foreseeable future. ThanksWell time has come again to let you know that Nick Klaus is still struggling to find his way out of the Grand Library of Books United. This new adventure takes him straight to the heart of the Incurable jumblelium. Now, I know what you are going to say, what on earth could an incurable jumblelium be? The answer is easy. An incurable jumblelium is basically a jumblelium that cannot be cured. Here to whet your appetite, and don't go thinking that you can eat a jumblelium, especially if it is incurable, he is willing to give you a couple of sample chapters. A little wink of sort, he sends your way. Have fun. Perhaps you can find the way out for him, and if you do, please write to me at once, because more than anyone in the universe, I cannot wait to meet him. Nick Klaus also asks me to warn you that he will not be held responsible if you feel confused during the reading of this new adventure. In order to prevent such a tragic fate, which would certainly happen if you got trapped in the jumblelium, he recommends that you read some of his previous attempts to escape, at least read “Nick Klaus and the Room of the Lost Footsteps.” This is only way, he tells me, to prevent such a dreadful and unwelcome state from seizing you (or so he gracefully confided in me) . . .
