It is 1967, and as America's allies hesitate over whether to send more troops to Vietnam, and the strains of "All You Need is Love" echo from Abbey Road, students take to the streets of Wellington, New Zealand, to protest the war. Among them are Race, Candy, Chadwick, and FitzGerald, and their elusive, electrifying friend Morgan Tawhai. They are young and hopeful, and the world is all before them. Forty years later, in Washington, DC, Race's son Toby is navigating his own path across a landscape still trembling with the reverberations of 9/11.

No elegí nacer. En otras palabras, no elegí existir. No elegí a mis padres ni mis circunstancias. Definitivamente, no elegí mi aspecto ni mi personalidad. Y, sin embargo, todo eso parece definirme. No elegí que sucedieran cosas malas. Pero me marcaron. Me hicieron temer, luchar, sentirme inseguro e incluso hacer cosas que desearía no haber hecho. Y ahora esas cosas parecen definirme. ¿Cómo puedo salir de este laberinto? ¿Quién soy realmente? ¿Adónde pertenezco? Dios dice: ‘Con amor eterno te he amado’, y, ‘antes de que nacieras, ya te había apartado’.[1] En este breve ...

A short booklet that asks this most important question.

When we enter through the Gate of Jesus - by repentance and faith - we enter into his eternal kingdom. In that moment, we become citizens of heaven. Yes, we still find ourselves here on earth, but everything has changed. Earth is no longer our home nor our future. Once we belonged to this world, and it was all we had, all we could invest in and build. But now we belong to a different kingdom, we serve a different king, and we live to advance his kingdom.

Annabel receives a horse as a Christmas Present and she calls him Reindeer. He causes havoc on the race course before finding a winning streak... A delightful story for all horse lovers.

The Crow's second report from Little Bubblesqueak tells the tale of Bertrand the Slippery Eel. Accident prone Bertrand causes havoc in the supermarket, before finding fame with Ellie on the Ice-Rink.

This devotional (Part 2) has 20 entries, written for the Teen or young adult. It follows Part 1: ‘Lose Life to Save It’. Jesus was never legalistic or heavy-spirited. But he was serious in his teaching about putting our faith into action. He called us to ‘follow’ him, not just believe in him. This is because the blessing, the fruit, the freedom, the power, is in truly walking with Jesus. I hope this devotional brings joy to you, and also helps you build on your love for Jesus.

Incluso el nombre ‘escuela media’ te hace sentir como si no estuvieras aquí, ni allí, ¡estás en el medio! Sin embargo, la verdad es que la secundaria no está en ‘segundo lugar’, ¡es un lugar muy importante por derecho propio! Y esta etapa de tu vida (tu edad, tus amigos, tus sentimientos) también es muy importante. Espero que disfrutes leyendo estas reflexiones devocionales, y que crezcas en 3 aspectos clave: 1) Que conozcas mejor a Jesús; 2) Que sientas más paz y felicidad en tu amistad con Jesús; 3) Que aprendas algunas maneras de compartir a Jesús con tus amigos –no ...

Este devocional consta de 20 entradas, diarias o semanales, ¡o como tú prefieras! Hay espacio para que anotes tus propios pensamientos, y espero que lo hagas. Garabatea por todas partes lo que el Señor te está hablando. Que Dios te bendiga.

En este breve libro trabajo en orden inverso. Empiezo compartiendo qué hago ahora al tratar con las sectas, y luego voy atrás para explicar cómo llegué a eso a través de los años. Comparto algunas experiencias personales y versículos clave, que me han ayudado a crecer en esta área y a tener una base para tratar con las sectas. Me centro principalmente en el error central y común de todas, es decir, negar la verdadera identidad de Jesús y, por tanto, el verdadero mensaje del Evangelio. (2 Corintios 11:4) La verdadera identidad de Jesús es lo que se niega en todas las sectas (y en ...

El corazón puede romperse de muchas maneras y por muchas razones. Sin embargo, en este breve folleto te escribo a ti, que has sido herido por – contra quien ha pecado, de quien se ha aprovechado – otra persona. Me dirijo a los abusados. El corazón roto al que espero hablar es al que le fue robado algo, y ahora le cuesta esperar, sentir, creer. Jesús te ama. Él está contigo. Él persigue y juzgará al que te hizo daño. No sólo pedirá cuentas a tu agresor, sino que en este mismo momento Jesús anhela derramar Su Espíritu sanador sobre ti y darte un ‘corazón nuevo y un ...

The most religious and powerful people in Jesus’ time, well, we don’t even know their names. Their glory faded with them. And yet the poor, the uneducated and nameless, well, we know them, their legacy if not their names, and they have changed history. It’s not what they did, but rather what Jesus did for them. You see, when Jesus honors a person, that honor is true legacy. We want to know them, and be known by them, because Jesus honored them. A prostitute who had been healed, one day poured perfume on the head of Jesus. His own disciples, the famous twelve and others, rebuked her, ...

(Excerpt from the Introduction) I remember watching on the news the unfolding fate of a guy on death row. There was only about an hour left till execution. It was clear this guy was innocent. As I watched and listened, I jumped on my computer and wrote an email to the Governor of the State, imploring him to pick up the phone and put this one on hold. I said he didn’t want blood on his hands with such an obvious miscarriage of justice. Nothing. Six o’clock came and went. Ten minutes later the guy was dead. I get through a lot in life by looking at the clock and knowing that by this or ...

Let’s start by talking about ‘groups’ in life. And when I say groups, I mean friend groups, working groups, gangs, sororities, frats, Freemasons, book clubs, committees, church groups, tennis clubs, country clubs, etc. Groups don’t really exist. I mean, they are a thing, of course, but a fabricated thing. Held together by people’s notions. Take for example that friend group you had a few years ago, where is it now? Or that BFF from school? Or that project group that were ‘so close’? I don’t mean to be cynical here. Not at all. Just trying to get back to those elements in ...

(Excerpt from the Introduction) We find ourselves here without a map! Where do we go? What way do we take? What is life’s purpose? Where is it going? In this short book I want to share with you a ‘map’ that God has given us. We don’t have to be lost. We were made by God, and he has provided us with guidance for this life, and for all eternity. He did not leave us alone – even though it can feel like that sometimes.

It’s the ‘in-between’ time. So much of it. More of it than not. Packing. Unpacking. Sorting. Cleaning up before, cleaning up after. Paperwork. Contingencies. Repairs. More repairs. Returns. Check-ups. Follow-ups. Waiting. Rushing. Getting from this end to that end. Gearing up. Psyching up. Getting through. Trying to wind down. Wondering. Wandering. This, my friend, is not an attitude. This is simply reality. The stats. The breakdown of the clock each day. God said it would be like this. Check out these verses, and then let’s consider… ‘God said to Adam, ‘Because you ate from ...

176 blog posts, 2014-2020. Each with a URL and QR code for easy sharing. Over the last 6 years I have enjoyed posting reflections about Jesus Christ, and his life-changing Gospel. We write on ‘paper’, and indeed the Bible is a ‘written Word’. But Jesus Christ is the ‘Word made flesh’ (John 1:14), and He came to come alive in your heart by His Spirit – the Word off the page...

Each of these ‘thoughts’ is only a starting point. I trust that you, the reader, can go beyond them, deeper into Spirit. ‘All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ.’ (Colossians 2:3) Peter Walker and his family live in NC, USA.
