Do you enjoy a good Western? I especially relish the kind that has exciting adventure and old fashioned romance as its plot. That prompted the decision to write a Western Novel about a Troglodyte; fitly named since he becomes a brutish recluse as a result of spurned love. ("Brutish Recluse," the two word definition of a troglodyte.) Set in the mountain grandeur of the storied southwest, the first Troglodyte Tale traces three distinct ventures involving Treasure of immense wealth, an exhilarating wilderness Trek, and an ultimate Triumph of love and faith. The spiritual impact of this portion of the book underscores the vital part which faith plays in the human experience. On the first leg of Big Jack Madgaera's arduous journey, "The Troglodyte's Treasure," is replete with fervor, survival and harsh reality. During the second, venture, a wilderness trek, Big Jack and his salty old companion Charlie are confronted with a life threatening earthquake, a near riot of demented copper miners and finally an evil bunch of river boat marauders. They settle in "The Springs of Californy, ' as Charlie calls it, where they find fulfillment that for Jack is short lived. Completing the trilogy of life in the wilds, Jack is attacked by a ferocious mountain lion which leaves him bloody and near death. Two astounding events occur during the incredible conclusion that will amaze and leave you in awe. Give it a read. You may come away from the experience satisfied and inspired. Benisons Dave Allan

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED.... ...How God would reach today's electronic society? ...What will he use to get our attention? ...Who are the "players"? ...Will it be dynamic or gentle? These questions are the compelling force behind the writing of The Final Evangel. They led to an imaginary trail, sometimes outlandish, at other times serene, yet always realistic. Based on the Old Testament book of Isaiah; the similarity between those ancient times and our advanced society is astounding. Passages from The Messiah come alive through imagination; such as "Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be brought low." In TFE discover an astonishing event that makes "the rough places plain" as "the highway is prepared for our God." The Final Evangel is replete with similar amazing possibilities. For example, discover The Light that is seven times brighter than the sun. Impossible? Isaiah says it will happen. Let the imagination throughout this book stir up your mind to miraculous possibilities rooted in the God of the universe. Benisons, Dave Allan

How does a young man or woman find their way in this noisy, fast moving, often godless society? Apt and Sag as well as So and Melody seem to have it all together as they mature through experience and counsel. Advice from their peers, - - life's hard knocks, - - wise, seasoned believers, - - and evil influences all contribute to their soul personalities. A Reality Story, "The Quest" follows Apt Lee and Sagamon as they encounter terrifying predicaments in their search for reality. A frightening encounter with Luce, being hunted by armed thugs, attacks by the rulers of darkness and numerous other life threatening situations confront them on a journey through the land of mysteries. So, a virtuous young lady and Melody a charming rather impish teenager charm their way into the lives and hearts of the two wandering upstarts. Love blooms as these perky maidens become involved in the Quest. On their rigorous journey, Apt and Sag also mingle with people of sterling character and astonishing abilities. Phenomenons like the Snake-a-tory, A mother load of gold, Young love and the table of apparitions leave a life changing impact on the young explorers. Go with them as they encounter stalwart believers like A. S. Tute, Con and Geni Ality, and Adit who provides a way when there is no way. Conversely, Ed Wick, Ava Rice and Adul Tress are just a few of the despicable characters who constantly seek to thwart their progress. Exhilarating fear, joy, passion, apprehension, friendships and love dog their tracks as they progress like pilgrims in a strange land of good and evil to discover the life that is really life.

The Year of the Rapture, a trilogy of fantasy, fiction and fact is . . . UNIQUE ! The fantasy section of "The Year of the Rapture," begins as the author takes an imaginary journey into heaven via a dream as a boy of eight. While there he morphs into an adult and finds himself viewing a strange scene on earth. Though curiosity and creativity are rampant throughout, the integrity of the scripture is maintained. COMPELLING ! The fiction portion of The Year of the Rapture reveals a town full of young adults, (headies) seeking a secular experience to satisfy their search for reality. Their reverie is hijacked by a few Christians whose reality wins! The story builds and explodes with three shocking events that lead to a dynamic conclusion, leaving the reader astonished and incredulous. INSIGHTFUL ! Fact, "The future is now," is a popular twenty first century phrase and could be a Biblical reality anytime. "Perhaps today," is another statement regarding the imminent return of the Lord Jesus. Being ready for that occasion is urged by God in scripture. Therefore, regarding the Rapture, a constant NOW is presented in the Bible and by the author.
