The Final Cup is the first of two books written about relationship and founded on the scripture Matthew 26:29. Although I wrote The Final Cup in parallel terms with our horizontal relationships, the main focus is on our vertical relationship with our husband, Jesus Christ.

With 26-27% of Christian marriages ending in divorce, if ever there was a time for marital help, now is the time. The Final Cup leans toward marriage, but people contemplating the bonds of matrimony or even a simple relationship should find this book helpful. With constant attacks perpetrated by the enemy against the family (and relationships), especially in these days, the stability of this country, even the world, is threatened.

God showed me, through a brother, that all truth is parallel. For every natural truth, there is a corresponding and parallel spiritual truth. If we are to grow in both, we must learn where we are at "in" both.

Learn how to pray to God through the Tabernacle of old and how to get closer to our spouses through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our relationships and roles as man and woman release insight into our relationships with Christ and how we are to become His bride. This is of course, contingent on our study of, and our obedience to, God's Word. This is all in terms of our love toward each other.

The Lord also gave to me seven words and showed me that we all have seasons in our relationships. So follow along and study with me through these parallels and through the seasons in our relationships that the Lord imparted to me one Sunday afternoon.

The Rose of Sharon is a call to the bride of Christ and is the second of two books on relationship. Founded on the scripture Hosea 2:16, we will discover who the Bride of Christ is. In The Rose of Sharon, we will learn how to be prepared and pre-prayered for the return of our betrothed, Jesus Christ.

We will also learn about the growth and maturity of the bride, all the way from her birth to the marriage supper of the Lamb and about the stumbling blocks of mankind that has caused a falling away from bride status. Then we will determine the blind spots in the natural marriage and how they came into existence. Finally, we will study what we can do to make a complete turn around in those marriages and in the preparation for His return, both in the natural and in the spiritual realm.

Chapter four reveals a revelation given to the church for these days. Follow along and take a trip with us through the birth and growth of the Bride of Christ in The Rose of Sharon.

Deadly Port is a work of fiction. . .or is it? Daily evidences of murder, rape, and thievery fill all of our newspapers. TV splashes these events across the screen confirming what the dregs of society perpetrate against other human-beings on a regular basis.

However, God stands ready to intervene on our behalf, but because He gave us free will, He will not step in without our prayers. God's hands are tied and He is saddened when we do not call out to Him with that free will and prayer. Deadly Port could be an Anywhere, Anyplace story about the importance of prayer and the ramifications of its lack.

This particular story takes place in Port Angeles, Washington, which is a quiet little waterside town on the North-center edge of the Olympic Peninsula. The Juan De Fuca Strait washes its shores and is the portal to Canada and the great Pacific Ocean. However, it is also the perfect portal for the trafficking of drugs and other paraphernalia.

Detective Frank Doyle has served this community for twenty-four years. Two drug factions are alive and well in Port Angeles and Doyle and his partner, Detective Casey Grant, keep things, for the most part, under control. Their world is fairly routine until a hit man for the Phoenix drug cartel comes to town and kills the department's snitch. It is summertime in Port Angeles and in a very short time, the characters will all be in their respective positions, unaware that their lives are about to change. The unlucky one's do not yet know that today they are going to die.
