The Storming of Blackstone Castle
(War of the Nephilim Book 2)
by Tripp Berry
How do you break into the strongest, darkest, deadliest castle on God’s green creation to reach someone you love, and how do you get back out again?
In The Woodbender, the White Spiders attacked Blacktree and took Anna. They attacked Fallingwater, where Kenan learned about God and used it to defend his friends. And the White Spiders left behind a survivor who revealed to Kenan, Lidai, and Wren something important: Anna was alive.
Join these youth from Blacktree as they join mentors, friends, and a rambunctious raccoon on a perilous journey through the Dragongrass, down the Morderain River, and to the bowels of Midreer. In the city of Mordeen, where Prince Gharan rules with a clenched fist, the Edeerians must assimilate into a strange culture, evade being caught by searching patrols, and figure out how to storm Blackstone Castle.
Step back into history, before the Tower of Babel, before the Flood, to a time of lush greenery, giant animals, and roving danger. Just keep an eye on your breakfast around that raccoon. Read The Storming of Blackstone Castle, today!
JOB’S VICTORIES – A DEVOTIONAL
inspirations for overcoming trials
by Jim H. Darnell Jr.
The tragedy is broken into 224 unique positive devotionals. Each segment focuses on healing, a new way of thinking, and how to discover God’s thrill along the way.
Job’s Devotionals are for those who long to be made new through suffering and rise in victory.
God is extremely excited about the life of the one who suffers greatly. While the types of trials vary greatly, the healing process is consistently the same. With each step in the right direction, God warms with love and speaks wonders that invigorates. The transformation replaces the feeling of loss with love, His vision, and a stunning awe of God. Job’s story is heart-wrenching, telling of losing His children, wealth, wife, and honor only to be replaced with shame, much criticism, mockery, bullied, poverty, extreme pain, hopelessness, being despised by his wife, and horrified by his fears.
