Christianity claims that a first century barefoot preacher was actually an incarnation of God, that he was resurrected after he was executed for insurrection, that he ascended to heaven and there intercedes with God the Father to forgive us our shortcomings and redeem us to eternal life.

O Natal é o aniversário de Jesus Cristo. Toda a gente gosta do Natal. Há muitos que não sabem quem é Cristo. Há muitos que não gostam de Cristo. Mas todos sabem e gostam do Natal. Estes textos, escritos à volta dos últimos Natais, nasceram desse conheci-mento e desse gosto.

Brooks is a very old house with lots of character. He also has a long-forgotten treasure in his attic. Len and Dora Grant are happily married and the new owners of Brooks Bed and Breakfast. The house has weathered one hundred and fifty years of life trials but doesn't look anywhere near his age. His ceilings whisper fragments of history without revealing long-kept secrets. His words of wisdom are plastered within his walls, seeping from floorboards and echoing through creaking joists. However, he's just a house—right?

For the Amish community of Alabaster, it seems to. They've maintained an uneasy alliance with the vamperkinder, the altered humans that rescued them from the zombies seven years ago. But after several vicious attacks—nighttime slaughters that could only have been perpetrated by the kinder—the union of the two peoples is shattered.

It all starts with a dare. Salome, a spirited young woman in Galilee, is perched in a tree and challenges Nathaniel, her smitten childhood friend, to climb onto a high branch after her. He falls and crushes a leg. Salome flees the scene in shock, abandoning Nathaniel. When Salome discovers her younger sister, Mariam (the Virgin Mary), is pregnant out of wedlock after their older sister, Rebekah, has been raped by Roman soldiers, she tries to raise the family’s reputation by marrying a man she barely knows, forsaking Nathaniel and nurturing guilt.

Life for Grace Maddox was a series of the same ol' same ol' until she flipped over the handlebars of her bike on the way home from work and ended up with a concussion. That's when the dreams began. Quiet dreams. Shimmering dreams. Cold dreams. Dreams of water... always water... a deep pool of water... a waterfall... And something in the water, at the bottom of the pool.

"Through Santa's Eyes" is the best-selling autobiographical account of Coz Green's experience of becoming "Santa Coz," a real-life Santa Claus who embodies the spirit of Christmas year-round. The book chronicles his journey from a personal crisis to a call from Santa Claus, urging him to embrace the "Be Less Selfish, Be More Elfish" message and spread it globally. This message emphasizes love, service, and giving as the true spirit of Christmas, encouraging listeners to cultivate these values throughout their lives.

It is early 1846, and many Saints, including most of the Steeds, begin the difficult journey across Iowa as they move toward a new and distant home in the Rocky Mountains. Among them is the volatile Joshua Steed, who, intent on accompanying his now widowed mother, has temporarily left his wife and children behind in Nauvoo. With trouble brewing in that dying city, will they be in danger? And what is the secret that Joshua feels compelled to keep hidden from the other Steeds?

The Mormon faithful begin the long trek west in 1846 searching for their promised land. The trek proves more miraculous, challenging and costly than ever imagined. The trail is littered with human sweat, tears and graves. It is necessary for the Steeds to split up and hope for a sweet reunion at the trail's end.

Pillar of Light—the first volume in the series The Work and the Glory—begins the epic story of the Benjamin Steed family. In the 1820s they move from Vermont to Palmyra Township in upstate New York in search of better farmland. There they meet a young man named Joseph Smith and are thrown into the maelstrom of conflict and controversy that swirls around him. Did he really see the Father and the Son in a pillar of light? Has he truly been visited by angelic messengers? What is all this talk about gold plates and new scripture? In short, is he a prophet and seer or a monumental fraud?

As this volume opens, it is a time of great sadness and of uncertainty. Having lost their beloved prophet, the Saints witness a series of power plays by those who would use the opportunity to further their own interests. It is not long, however, before the Lord's purposes are made apparent and the Twelve take their rightful position as leaders of the Church, with Brigham Young at their head. For a time, an uneasy peace seems to prevail in Illinois, but then the Nauvoo Charter is revoked, anti-Mormon hatred is again inflamed by those involved in the Prophet's death.

Swept up in the great drama as the infant Church expands and spreads westward into Ohio and Missouri, the Steeds become eyewitnesses of miracles as well as of the horrors of mob mayhem. Nathan and Lydia begin their married life, meeting new challenges and facing crises that test both their faith and their love; Mary Ann struggles with her feelings over her husband Benjamin's continued lack of spiritual response to the Restoration message; Jessica Steed, distraught by her apparent inability to have children, watches helpless.

Several momentous events take place during this period in Church history: Nauvoo becomes a well-established city; the Relief Society is founded; the endowment is administered for the first time in this dispensation; Joseph Smith becomes a candidate for president of the United States; he delivers his monumental King Follett Discourse. Meanwhile, however, dark forces outside as well as inside the Church are at work to destroy Joseph and the Restoration cause.

At this moment, a number of world leaders are calmly talking about the possibility of a nuclear exchange occurring at some point in the near future. Thousands of years ago, biblical prophets predicted a world eerily similar to that which we currently find ourselves in. The book of Revelation even goes so far as to say that half the world’s population is going to be wiped out under a global political system identical to the one we are in the process of adopting.

In this world, most inhabitants follow a straight path in time from birth to death, but there are outliers who have periodic or other deviant “world lines”, passing through their space-time point multiple times. The title derives from the different paths of existence by a diverse set of characters. One of the outliers for example, is a Scottish fisherman who is trying to weave his way in the normal world, bringing some sense to the madness created by both human and natural events surrounding him (abduction of a female pilot, military response, and breaches in the time-space continuum).

The United States, stunned by the nuclear detonation in Washington, D.C., and further crippled by the EMP attack on the whole country, is on the brink of destruction. The unscrupulous leaders who have banded together to toss out the Constitution and divide the ruling of the world between themselves have all but achieved their objective. But they haven't factored in one thing. They haven't considered the chance, however slight, that good people remain who will continue standing up for what they believe in.
