Tolkien, who taught Norse mythology at Oxford.The Norse Myths will take you to a world of legend with Thor, Odin, Loki, Gods, Goddesses, monsters, giants, and dwarves doing what they can to help or hurt each other.

Soon life’s pilgrimage will end. All children of God will face Jesus at His Judgment Seat. Will it be an awards podium, with some receiving more rewards, some less? What about negative reward? Is that a possibility? If so, what does it suggest about how we should live our lives here and now? The author deals with the largely neglected doctrine of rewards, warning from the Scriptures that our Judgment Seat verdict (positive or negative) will determine our place in His kingdom. He addresses numerous challenging questions, such as … • How is salvation of the soul distinguished from salvation of the spirit? • When Jesus warned, “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” was He speaking to the lost or to the saved? • Will all believers have equal standing in the age to come? • Does Outer Darkness really refer to Hell or could it have a bearing on saints? • Are all children of God automatically included as part of Christ’s bride? • Who will rule and reign with Christ? • Who are the overcomers in the New Testament and to whom do the rewards for overcomers apply? • How do we prepare to meet Jesus and hear the words, Well done?

As long as they stay within the boundaries, they are protected from disease and sickness which ravages the outside world.But a different type of sickness is incubating in their cocoon of safety, one that surfaces with growing ferocity when one of their members chooses to leave. Now Selah is faced with the difficult decision to protect the people she loves and the place she calls home or to go against everything she has been taught--risking exposure of her community to the State--in order to save the very society they escaped.Interwoven with solid biblical teaching, The Light Bearer emphasizes prayer and the study of God's Word as essential elements for growing in one's relationship with Christ and the importance of the Holy Spirit to empower the believer.
