Spring 1832: Donegal, north west Ireland. Coll Coyle wakes to a blood dawn and a day he does not want to face. The young father stands to lose everything on account of the cruel intentions of his landowner's heedless son. Although reluctant, Coll sets out to confront his trouble. And so begins his fall from the rain-soaked, cloud-swirling Eden, and a pursuit across the wild bog lands of Donegal. Behind him is John Faller - a man who has vowed to hunt Coll to the ends of the earth - in a pursuit that will stretch to an epic voyage across the Atlantic, and to greater tragedy in the new American frontier. Red Sky in Morning is a dark tale of oppression bathed in sparkling, unconstrained imagery. A compassionate and sensitive exploration of the merciless side of man and the indifference of nature, it is both a mesmerizing feat of imagination and a landmark piece of fiction.

This is the second book in the 13 Short Bible Stories For Kids series. 13 Bible stories are told from the biblical perspective as usual and few bonus stories are added at the end. These stories are put together so that the youngest child can understand what is written. The goal of these stories is to impact others and the world. These stories emphasize various themes of literature, as well as all stories, should. The Bible though isn't just a book of stories but they are words of life. These type of stories don't just let us feel entertained and happy. No, the purpose of why biblical stories were written is to bring about change. Not just "change" but spiritual change. They were written to give us a new mind one which is robed in Christ Jesus the Lord. Another purpose they were written was to give us hope and inspiration. The experiences of our biblical heroes and characters portray that we too are no different than them. We are human just the same who trust in Almighty God for strength, development, and hope. God changed their lives so he too can change our circumstances and our lives. No problem is too big for God. The prophets of old trusted in God and they were delivered and saved. We too have this opportunity and hope. But you may ask, "But aren't these stories irrelevant today?" The truth of the matter is that these are the stories of scripture that God himself ordained and inspired. Nothing that God does is outdated. Remember God is glorified in all things. These are the only stories that can bring about true change in the lives of people and the world. Finally, the story is told of a boy who grew up to love science, however, when he had finished high school, his parents did not have any money to send him to college. The boy then decided to do some science experiment by himself during the time he was out. He got a clean bottle and filled it with clear water and then he added some blue coloring to the water. He noticed that the water had changed color. It was no more clear but slightly blue. Nothing he did could turn the blue colored water to something clear. Although it was not the full amount of blue coloring added, it was strong enough to infiltrate the clear and clean water in the bottle. The boy learned a science lesson that day. And this is how it is with us, humans. No amount of goodness we do in life can cover our sins or make us clean. The truth is only the blood of Jesus Christ can make us clean. It washes us white and allows us to become whiter than snow. This is a mystery, in that, how can someone be washed in the blood and become whiter than snow. But the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us so we become righteous and without sin. It is as though we had never sinned before in our life. Remember Jesus is the Lord of heaven and earth and is called the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. This is not a physical cleansing, but a spiritual one. And that is how we are washed, cleansed, and made free in Jesus. It does not matter what anyone tells us, or even where we may find ourselves in life. Remember that whosoever the Son (Jesus) sets free is free indeed (John 8:36).

Jesus Christ spoke of the End-Time. Jesus spoke of the Tribulation and The Great Tribulation. The apostle Paul later wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." The word "perilous" means difficulty, woe, hardships, trouble, and the like. Surely, the word "perilous" doesn't mean something nice or even lovely. The revelation given to the apostle Paul and the to the prophets about the End-Time can be clearly seen today in our time and age. This is nothing new since it was prophesied. Today, we are living in the prophetic age. We have seen natural disasters, plagues, pestilence, wars, and have heard rumors of wars. We have certainly experienced pain, sorrow, suffering, and grief on this old Earth. Jesus prophesied about the coming catastrophes long ago. Jesus prophesied throughout the Gospels that there will come a day when parents will betray children and children will betray parents to death. He also spoke of a time when men will kill those who preach and teach the Gospel and think they are doing God's service. Jesus also reminded us that many will come in His name saying they are Christ and deceive many. There will be false Christs also known as antichrists. Could all these prophecies be true? Could the end of the days be here already? Read this book and understand the things that will surely come to pass.
