  • My Heavenly Journal

    Skylar Page

    Paperback (Christian Faith Publishing, Inc, Nov. 11, 2018)
    Are you like Elijah? Searching for the Lord, yearning to see Him and praying to hear His voice in your ear? Like Elijah, are you looking in all the wrong places? He looked in the wind and the earthquake but didn't find Him there. And after the earthquake, he gazed in the fire, but the Lord wasn't there either. As he waited, Elijah heard a small voice. He went out of the cave to listen. And God spoke to him in that still small voice. -1 Kings 19:11-18.Like Jenny did in the Sanctuary of the Seraphim series, invite your guardian angel to use My Heavenly Journal to guide you closer to God. Sometimes He whispers in your ear and you miss it, you don't hear it, or you aren't listening. Or sometimes you hear and mindlessly brush His words away. When you write down your thoughts as He prompts you, you will have it to look back on for a lifetime. His answer may have a different meaning to you in the morning, in a year or in ten years.I pray this journal becomes a precious memory you will keep stored away in your heart for a lifetime of holding tight to the hand of God, as similar journals hold special places in my heart. My only regret is that I hadn't written more.

  • Scarlet's Escape

    Katrina Cope

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, June 26, 2014)
    Over a year has passed since Avando rescued Jayden from homelessness. Strange things are happening within the Sanctum, and their movements to fight terrorism are continually being jeopardized.Both schools appear to be working for the good side, but secrets are uncovered, raising more questions.Scarlet is acting more strangely each day. Is someone behind this, or has she blown her mainframe?Reviewer Praise:“There are plenty of red herrings and false trails to keep the reader guessing about who - or what - is responsible. Very much a recommended book for those still a little too young for 'young adult' fiction but who have grown out of books such as the Famous Five but still have a taste for adventure with a technological twist and a strong moral center.” ~ Phil Leader, Book Reviewer“The characters continue to evolve and develop with laughter, tears and challenges to be found at every step. The intrigue builds beautifully with secrets of Ernest State School being revealed and lots of surprises are to be had along the way.” ~ L“Scarlet's Escape was much more suspenseful. Two things caused this. I felt myself really trying to turn the pages during the action scenes. And The Sanctum isn't nearly as safe of a place as it was in the first book.” ~ Jane. H“Great story. Surprisingly full of insightful metaphors and life lessons.” ~ Amazon CustomerIf you like a book that suits* Late Middle Grade/Early Young adult* Action packed* Spy Thriller/Sci-Fi with heart* Humorous in partsThe Sanctum Series: A modern late Middle-Grade fictional series for preteens & the young at heart:Jayden's Cybermountain (previously, Jayden & the Mysterious Mountain)Scarlet’s EscapeTaylor's PlightEric & the Black AxesAdrianna's SurgeEditorial Reviews:“Something strange is going on at Sanctum.

The story of Sanctum continues in this exciting and suspenseful new adventure, filled with unexpected twists.” Irene S., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing“Scarlet’s Escape, a tightly-crafted YA urban fantasy, takes us on a journey to two schools for the gifted and talented, where we meet two casts of characters who surprise and delight at every turn.
