It is nighttime. Cold brisk wind ruffles the blond hair of a tall figure standing under the light of nature's full moon. Embers flickering from the campfire cast strobes of light across a face that carries piercing stares of cold steel. The Aryan-looking man is a Jew. In one hand he holds a photo, the other a weapon. He is the leader of a team of Avengers whose mission is to bring justice to those that massacred their families and seized their property. Kneeling at his feet is a bound Nazi officer guilty of war crimes. When the blond man speaks, the Nazi stops begging for life. "Colonel, under your command Jews have been made to stand at open pits and shot. Do you see this photo in my hand? It is a picture of my mother, father, and sister, my family you gave orders to kill and bury in mass, unmarked graves. Tonight you were purloined from your encampment like a stolen secret document and are now in my court where I am judge and jury. You will be executed without mercy and left here in the open field for wild animals to tear apart and devour. Others of your kind will soon be brought to this court of justice." The tall blond man pushed the family photo close to the man's face, followed by a resounding single shot echoing through the dense forest signaling the closure of another court session.

When Jake completes his engineering project in a diamond-laden country, he finds smuggled diamonds among his luggage in his hotel room in London. Knowing it is the work of a smuggling cartel whose efforts have gone awry, he ponders how they have come into his possession. Instead of turning the contraband over to the authorities, he chooses to keep the diamonds and use they're value to build a hospital in the country they came from. To accomplish this he must stay one-step ahead of the violent smugglers and enlist others to help. Two beautiful women come into his life, a barrister, who is a devout Anglican, the other, a prodigal like himself. One shows him the legal consequences of keeping the contraband, the other markets the diamonds making millions for the hospital project. Both women have interest in him for different reasons, and Jake uses their interest to promote his noble efforts in keeping the diamonds for the greater good, but will they're loyalty outweigh his legal jeopardy?

The greatest love story ever told commences in the Garden of Eden when a bride is made from the body of the bridegroom, a picture-within-a-picture. The saga ends after many centuries when we see in Revelation another bride having been made from her Bridegroom's body. The epic events between the two marriages tell the story of why God chose marriage, the mystical union of two opposite genders becoming one, to mirror transcendent truth. Adam's Rib: Mystery of the Ages is a creative biblical exposition of this story.

What We See From Afar is an exposition of major biblical themes using the microscope of what we know today in genetic research and current religious, sociological, and geopolitical structures. Among the topics examined are: . Why Eve contributes only Adam's gene pool to the human race. . The first DNA transplant recipient. . Why did Jesus use His DNA to heal? . Did Mary, the mother of the Messiah, contribute her own DNA at conception? . Is there a difference between Abraham's promised sand and star offspring? . What great event must happen before the Jewish Third Temple is constructed? . Islamic immigration into Europe and its place in prophecy. . The reasons for the fall and demise of Mystery Babylon. The author uses his background and skill to make simple biblical truth profound and complex subjects simple. James Berry is a gifted expository writer who uses history and science to polish biblical truths. For over three decades he served as a pastor, missionary to Africa, and teacher. He is a graduate of California State University, Stanislaus and Bethany University. Presently, he and his wife, Judith, reside in Central California where he spends much of his time writing.
