Topsail Island
Topsail Island is a North Carolina barrier island lying between the Outer Banks and Wilmington. Though 26 miles long, it is but 200 yards wide in places and encompasses only 15 square miles. Residents and visitors call it a stretch of paradise.Or even "Mayberry."It's easy to see why. Because of its small land area, Topsail has not been subject to the large-scale development of island communities like Nags Head to the north and Wrightsville Beach to the south. Indeed, it remains largely in the idyllic state those places knew half a century ago-a small beach town with few commercial trappings, a family haven whose devotees return generation after generation, a paradise where it's possible to w...
Wingless
An imaginative Christian fantasy for the 21st century An Uncharted Island. An Ancient Quest. A Lurking Danger. Bareth is a somewhat boring academic leading a somewhat predictable life. That is until he embarks on a solitary sailing trip to mark the anniversary of his mother's death and finds himself stranded on an uncharted island. There he makes an even more shocking discovery--the inhabitants have wings! Overwhelmed by both the winged inhabitants' welcome and their insistence he is there to fulfill an ancient quest, Bareth tries to make sense of it all while living wingless in a winged world. Why was he brought here and how does this connect to the woman he foresaw in a dream? Who is behind the Wings Forever group and are they a threat to not only Bareth, but to the rest of the unwinged world? Bareth must discover the answers to these questions while learning that sometimes even saving the world comes down to trust. An imaginative story, Wingless explores questions of identity, ability, and grace.
And Their Eyes Were Opened
This book is a detailed theological analysis of blindness in the Hebrew Bible. It explores blindness in the context of religion, law codes, theodicy, social justice, and healing. McAllister first considers the wider context of ancient Near Eastern cultures before analyzing various words for blindness found in the Hebrew Bible. The focus then shifts to examining blindness in various blocks of material, in the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, before synthesizing the findings. This book is excellent for scholars and students interested in better understanding disability in the context of the Bible and the ancient Near East.

The Blind Dream-Chaser
How to Achieve Your Dreams when Life Seems Impossible. Ray McAllister has always seen life a little differently. Born with a degenerative eye disorder, Peters anomaly, his youth was spent seeking connection and fulfillment in a world where the deck was stacked against him. McAllister learned to beat those odds, excelling academically becoming the first completely blind person to earn a doctorate in the Hebrew Bible and, in his passion to share the scriptures with fellow blind readers, he earned a first prize from the National Federation of the Blind's Jacob Bolotin Award for making Biblical languages fully accessible for the blind. Musician, poet, reflexologist, and doula, The Blind Dream-Chaser illustrates McAllister's unexpected journey in learning how to trust his heavenly Father step-by-step through grace after grace. We all face challenges in life. We all, at times, feel like we are "walking blind." McAllister's testimony of faith is evidence of the providence and goodness of God. It is when we recognize our own blindness and fully trust in God that we can truly see.

Hatteras Island
2nd EDITION. UPDATED AND EXPANDED. (HARDCOVER PUB. 2019, PAPERBACK 2020) Among America's coastal icons, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse ranks at the very top, alongside the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Those who visit Hatteras understand they're decidedly in the ocean and only marginally on land.For a remote patch of real estate with a year-round population of little more than 3,000, Hatteras has witnessed extraordinary history. It may have been the destination of the Lost Colony. Blackbeard likely hobnobbed with the locals. The Moni...
