Park Service surveyor and former FBI forensic specialist Jack Randall finds himself swept away in a diabolical journey through a mystical primitive world. Following a naked man captured by aborigines, Jack steps through a vortex into a prehistoric 13th century Mesa Verde culture. Accompanied by a shaman of the Butterfly Clan, the shaman''s lively and lovely granddaughter and Jack''s best friend Spade, he searches the American Southwest 800 years in the past for an ancient Egyptian tablet. To find and possess the tablet, the trekkers must outwit a primeval cult whose high priest, sensuous women and warriors will stop at nothing to reclaim the lost stone. Murder becomes the norm. Loyalties are tested. Jack struggles to piece together the evidence--who among them is eliminating the trekkers one by one for their own selfish ends? The realism of a 13th century Mesa Verde setting comes from Bishop''s years of extensive reading about our Ancestral Puebloans.

"Bobby Horvath, stock car racer, had visions of being the greatest, but he has returned home knowing he isn''t and never will be. Racing brought him excitement and glamour escape from the drudgery of a factory job. The play records his encounters with his father, the wife and daughter he deserted and also other friends and relatives. The action moves in and out of the past and the heart of the play is his struggle to come to terms with himself. But when past and present collide, the results are unexpected. The play is also about a blue-collar mid-American town with its deadening routine of life. Boredom and depression begins to enfold Bobby with its futility and sterility. He returns to racing, even if it means he will be a loser."--Publisher''s description.

God is not a bigger version of your earthly father. When you hear the word “father,” do you think of someone who is loving…or angry? Someone who is pleased with you…or constantly disappointed? Someone who is always available…or someone who is too busy, preoccupied, or distant? When you think of “Father God,” what images come to mind? Regardless of the type of father you grew up with—or without—it is likely that your view of God is influenced by the relationship you had with your father. Author John Bishop wants to help you discover that God is not just like your dad. Instead, God is the Father revealed in Scripture, where the truth is clear. God is a father who is: • always there • up close and personal • fully pleased • in complete control • completely safe Filled with biblical insight and practical tools for reflection, healing, and restoration, God Distorted will enable you to break free from the lies of the enemy and see your heavenly Father as He truly is.

"My dear lady, why don''t you go home and sit still." So, in August 1914, the War Office dismissed Lady Hester Dunranald''s offer to ''do her bit.'' And if it hadn’t been for 14 year-old Harry Butler’s love of cars – and his desperation to ‘see action’ that made him lie about his age – at home she would have stayed. Instead, Harry drives Lady Hester’s private ambulance across the channel to Belgium, where he, Lady Hester and her two female companions rescue wounded as the beleaguered Belgian army strains to hold the German invaders. Once the British Army has again rejected Lady Hester''s offer of help! When the Belgians open the sea dykes in a final desperate attempt to block the German advance, the ambulance crew is caught up in the ensuing chaos. Blundering behind the German lines, they evade death at the hands of marauding Uhlans, only to be mistaken for the inmates of a German Army brothel. Capture condemns them to be shot as spies in Ypres, where the Kaiser intends to celebrate the imminent final conquest of Belgium. John Bishops’s third novel shows the drift into a war no one wanted. Its initial, shocking reality is seen through the eyes of Harry, a 14-year-old boy who, caught up in the hysteria of the time, bluffs his way into seeing action u00ad– and sees far more than he bargained for. When even just surviving becomes a form of purgatory, Harry only has the desire to forget... Refuse to Forget is a novel that takes its characters into a cataclysmic war that will change their worlds forever.

THE Ecclesiastical History of John, Bishop of Ephesus, was discovered by Dr. Cureton among the Manuscripts obtained by the British Museum from the convent of St. Mary Deipara, in the desert of Scete, and published in the original Syriac at the Oxford University Press in 1853. It was then his intention, as he mentions in the Preface, to have also undertaken the task of making its contents generally available by means of an English translation; but as more important labours have hitherto prevented the fulfilment of this duty, it has now, with his consent, been undertaken by myself, and I am alone responsible for the correctness with which it has been accomplished.

It all started with a promise to a girl he hardly knew... Love, Freedom or Death is a love story set against the resistance struggle in Crete during World War 2. Inspired by true events, it follows impetuous young Dudley Watkins, a New Zealand Sergeant, as he journeys from the disillusionment of defeat in the battle of Crete to the willingness to risk all for the island he has come to love. Love, Freedom or Death tells of a man who kept his promises, but in doing so drove others to break theirs, a man who fought to make the Cretan dream of freedom a reality and a man who falls out with his British masters while falling in love with an unattainable woman. Reminiscent of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, John Bishop’s novel is a powerful story of love and betrayal.
