Contrary to the modern view that The Bible depicts a time period of 4,000 years from Adam to Christ, there is a great deal of evidence that this chronology is at odds with the real facts of biblical history. To demonstrate this, Tales of Forever lays out an alternate history, which is supported by biblical texts, both canonical and non-canonical, as well as biblical artifacts, both sacred and profane. In contrast to the 4,000 year-chronology, established in the seventeenth century by Bishop Ussher, the greater weight of evidence points to a 5,500-year chronology from Adam to Christ.Readers of Tales of Forever will encounter two interwoven storylines: The first deals with the question of why the facts of this hidden history became so obscured in the first place, and the second, analyzes the reasons why it is so important that genuine believers in Scripture learn the truth of this alternate chronology.To begin with, a knowledge of this 5,500-year chronology can only be understood in light of evidence found in parabiblical books that tell of a primordial promise, as integral to prophetic history as the one speaking of the seed of the woman one day crushing the seed of the serpent. As such, this chronology confirms the fulfillment of a little-known promise of God to rescue Adam and his descendants after Five and a Half Days—or 5,500 years from God’s perspective—at which time One would come in human form to made good on said promise.And finally, the importance of this shift in our view of biblical chronology constitutes more than a mere shift in historical timetables. That’s because the 4,000-year chronology does absolutely nothing to support the idea of God’s control over history and faithfulness to His promises; whereas a proper understanding of the 5,500-year chronology does everything to provide the most vital truth to be grasped by a humanity yearning to behold the majesty of God—a clear-cut and verifiable proof of God’s control and faithfulness.

If you've ever wondered why The Bible is full of so many apparent contradictions, you're not alone. If you're afraid you might betray the God of The Bible if you question centuries-old traditions, you won't, as long as you let Scripture speak for itself.We know Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, but we're not sure how to address this issue without denigrating the miraculous events that clearly surrounded the Birth of Christ.We know the notion of a loving God Who also condemns human souls to suffer unspeakable agony in Hell for all eternity defies all logic. But we're not sure how to reconcile this obvious contradiction because tradition insists that to believe otherwise is to betray God's word.And we know that the way minorities, women, and animals have suffered at the hands of Bible-thumping crusaders is wrong, but we're not sure how to respond to their claims without appearing to defy the claims of Scripture.These perplexing issues, and many more, are precisely what Fish Tales (From the Belly of the Whale): Fifty of the Greatest Misconceptions Ever Blamed on The Bible, a book by W. Kent Smith, seeks to address by way of the very thing that inspired such ideas in the first place: The Bible.To that end, Fish Tales (From the Belly of the Whale) plunges you headlong into an unrelenting search for biblical truth that will forever change how you think about the word of God. Along the way, you'll find that Fish Tales not only exposes the origins of such misconceptions, but it also restores The Bible's original message of hope and inspiration, which once made it humanity's brightest light in a darkened world.

It's Shark Week at Captain Jack's Rum Caye Inn in Belize. Jack dangles a popsicle of frozen fish guts that he uses to attract sharks for photo ops for divers. But the frenzied shark attack results in a shocking scene and the divers are horrified and panic. When travel writer Matt Oliver, still mourning his father's death, arrives at Jack's the next day, he learns the local police suspect his old friend of being responsible for the serious mishap and have shut down his diving business. As Matt tries to clear Jack's name, he stumbles into a violent game of international intrigue. With the help of Maxie McCaw, an ex-girlfriend and Environmental Protection Agency agent, and Cat Mander, the beautiful owner of a rainforest resort with her own dark secrets, Matt finds himself in deeper trouble when he uncovers a jaguar hunt staged by Trey Turnbull, a corrupt American conservationist with surreptitious ties to Martin Chin, a Hong Kong expat who is producing phony aphrodisiacs and leading a shark-finning ring, as well as the American ambassador to Belize. Police track Matt down and deport him for dubious reasons but, goaded by Maxie, he sneaks back into Belize as a cruise ship passenger. Soon Matt becomes the hunted prey during a terror-filled journey through uninhabited cayes, humid jungles, and the dark and dangerous streets of Belize City. A shocking and sad fact: More than forty million sharks will be left to die this year after their fins have been hacked off for soup.
