Some doors are better left unopened. Some doors, you don't want to find out what lies behind them. In the Forbidden Doors series by bestselling author Bill Myers, teenager Rebecca 'Becka' Williams, her younger brother Scott, and her friend Ryan Riordan are swept into heart-stopping encounters with an all-too-real invisible world---a world fraught with deception and spiritual adversaries that promise goodness and enlightenment but will stop at nothing to destroy life, sanity, and human souls. Witchcraft. Reincarnation. Ouija Boards. UFOs. Shamanism. Counterfeit spiritualities are widespread and popular with spiritually searching young adults such as Becka's peers. What's the harm? Find out. Join Becka, Scott, and Ryan as they head for mind-bending clashes between the forces of darkness and the kingdom of God. Combining meticulous research, realistic settings, and masterful storytelling, the Forbidden Doors novels take you from the mountains of New Mexico to the inner workings of a secret society---and into the truth of God's Word, which exposes lies and reveals the reality of spiritual warfare. Each volume in the series contains three books that center around a particular kind of Forbidden Door. Book One: Dark Powers contains The Society, The Deceived, and The Spell; Book Two: Invisible Terror contains The Haunting, The Guardian, and The Encounter; Book Three: Deadly Loyalty contains The Curse, The Undead, and The Scream; Book Four: Ancient Forces contains The Ancients, The Wiccan, and The Cards

Nicholas loves to play it. His dad loves to coach it. What they don't love is getting clobbered every year by the Dodgers. This year, it's payback time. The Eastfield Braves are going to get even--because this year they have a secret weapon: Thurman Miller! Twelve-year-old Thurman--a miniature Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Godzilla all rolled into one--can pitch like lightning and hit a ball so hard it goes into orbit! So look out, Dodgers! Nick and his dad are determined the Braves will win. After all, with Thurman on their team, they can't lose! Welcome to the world of Nicholas--a completely normal kid who happens to find himself in some not-so-normal situations--and his animated best friend, McGee. Fortunately, Nicholas and his best friend, McGee, always seem to learn valuable lessons from their wild adventures. Unfortunately, when you're eleven years old (or, for that, matter, if you're a cartoon character) there are lots of lessons to be learned. In Take Me Out of the Ball Game, Nicholas and McGee--with the help of special guest Orel Hershiser--learn about the importance of keeping things in the right perspective and putting faith in God, not people. In The Blunder Years Nick is just like every other kid . . . as he makes choices and hopefully discovers what is really important in the process. In Beauty in the Least, a pint-sized pen-pal travels 6,000 miles, jumps 2 cultures, and turns Nick's world upside-down. It's a heart-changing experience for the whole Martin family as they discover the importance of caring for others and "loving your neighbor as yourself."
