In the aftermath of 9/11, these games transformed a national crisis into fantastic and profitable adventures, where seemingly powerless spectators became solutions to these virtual Wars on Terror.

The Turkestano-Siberian Railroad, or Turksib, was one of the great construction projects of the Soviet Union's First Five-Year Plan.

If Jesus came from heaven and spoke to the modern church and individuals what would he say today? Come with me, Matthew Robert Payne and listen to the message that Jesus Christ has for his church and the people that make up his body. Be encouraged by his words if you are already travelling on the narrow way that leads to life and be convicted to change your approach and your way of life if you are not.One reviewer had this to say."This is a very direct and hard-hitting book. I feel the purpose of this book is to prepare us for the difficult days that are soon to come to this world. I recommend that everyone who seeks to know Christ read this and share it with their friends. I found it easy to read and understand. It is not filled with theology, but rather very simple instructions and examples of how to be more like Jesus himself. This is one of my favourite books from Matthew and I have read them all."
