They have arrived! After 40 years wandering in the wilderness, the Israelites are finally ready to cross the Jordan River and claim the Promised Land. While they celebrate, the surrounding kingdoms of Moab and Midian summon the prophet Balaam from Babylonia. Joining forces with the powers of darkness, he gathers a coalition of five Midianite kings and the seductive Princess Cozbi to prevent the crossing that would change the world. The mutiny, plague, and war unleashed by his plan plunges a young generation of Israelites into a vortex of violence and upheaval beyond anything they could have imagined.

The first edition of Signs for Deaf Dogs came a from an idea initiated and developed by Suzanne Williams, a deaf dog owner, BSL advocate and Deaf Dog Network (DDN) member to help spread information about dogs who are deaf and also to encourage owners to use some simple hand signals borrowed from the lexicon of British Sign Language (BSL) to aid communication with their pets. The original 25 signs covered basic needs and this second edition includes an additional 22 signs that have been suggested by deaf dog owners. They are presented one sign per page, clear and simple in flashcard format. This edition is printed in black and white as a more cost-effective way of including more content and is also available on Kindle - ideal for smart phone and tablet. In addition to extra signs, this edition also contains Holly’s Story - a touching glimpse of a sweet natured dog and her adoptive family, who took Holly in when she was unloved and unwanted. There are widely accepted hand signals that are used with hearing dogs. The signs contained in this booklet are aimed at owners and trainers who would like to use or adapt BSL signs for their deaf dogs and also be recognised by deaf adults that use British Sign Language too.

Return to the turbulence of ancient Canaan in Book Three of The Stones of Gilgal. Even the raging floods of the Jordan could not stop the Israelites from crossing the river and setting up camp near Jericho. Canaanite kings and kingdoms--even the Anakim giants--are in turmoil. Former enemies jostle for power in new alliances, united only intheir determination to destroy the Israelite invaders.When the massive fortifications of Jericho collapse, Salmon rushes into the ruins to save Rahab, the beautiful harlot who had rescued him and his fellow spy from certain death. But saving her from her own city is not so easy. And that is only the beginning of the trouble, treachery and devastating ruins they and their friends face as they settle into their new life in the Promised Land.

These are the words of Khatan . . .Exiled from the grasslands of his home, the soft-spoken nomad Khatan is driven north into the violence of the endless, cyclical Long War; as khans and princes vie for the throne of an empire long dead. But there is respite in the chaos: taken beneath the wing of Oman, charismatic warleader of the Empty Quiver, Khatan seems to have found the family - and love - that his wandering had denied him. As bannerman and khan, Stalking Wolf and Golden Leopard, the two strike out to carve their legend into the annals of the War.Each new victory, though, and each rung on their climb to glory, seems to come at greater cost, and to strain the bonds both are so desperate to hold on to. And, as the Long War approaches its apocalyptic climax, signs appear that perhaps Khatan’s fate was never entirely his own . . .Two Thousand Leagues as the Seabird is Khatan’s death-song. It is the first book of the Created World.
