Vampire and Nocturnal themed anthology of flash fiction and poetry. The second issue of Prospective: a Journal of Speculation

Sometimes God allows things into our lives to grow us. And sometimes He uses those things to draw us closer to Him so He can heal us and help us start over. Mara Henderson was sure she had the perfect life. Married to her college sweetheart, smart, handsome, fun loving Brad Henderson. Living with him in their cozy beach cottage on a South Carolina island. Spending her days at home writing articles and short stories for several magazines, and dreaming about publishing the novel that she had nearly finished. Sure, it hadn't all been perfect. Just a year ago, she had lost her parents to a terrible car accident caused by a drunk driver. But as awful as that had been, Brad had shown himself to be a strong support and a caring comforter who helped her through the grief. They had grown closer and even had started talking about starting their own family. And now, here she was at her annual writers' conference and she'd been offered that book contract she'd been dreaming about. Thrilled and excited, she cancelled out of her remaining workshops, changed her plane ticket and raced home a day early to surprise Brad with her wonderful news. But Mara was the one to be surprised, in fact, shocked, as she finds Brad wrapped in the arms of another woman. Then, he disappears and she learns that their house has been rented, their bank account emptied, and he has left divorce papers for her to sign. And if that isn't enough, she finds herself on the run, fleeing to escape the wrath of a crime syndicate seeking revenge for Brad's illicit actions. Feeling lost and totally alone in the world, Mara wonders if even God has turned His back on her. Dazed by her circumstances, but fearing that her life is in danger, she struggles to move forward. With the help of her friends, both old and new, she places her trust in God and finds an inner strength and hope for a future.

"Running. We do that a lot, here in Newhaven." Sienna Trainer and six others are on the run. From who? The government of Newhaven. Newhaven was supposedly created to be a safe place for any type of person to take shelter in. Not anymore. Almost anyone is welcome, now. But not shape shifters. Shifters are seen as a threat, a nuisance, a pest to drive out and kill off. And that's exactly what the government is trying to do. Join Sienna, her right hand man, Luke, and the rest of their crazy shifting relatives as they run (Because they do a lot of running!), outsmart the smartest government officials, and fight for their freedom in Shift.

TENDER VESSELS is poet Kristen McHenry's first foray into fiction. This collection is comprised of two short stories by McHenry, "Bite Wing" and "Grandma". Firmly within the realm of speculative fiction, McHenry blends traditional horror elements with her strongly poetic voice into a captivating narrative. Loyal Stone Press is pleased to provide an outlet for this talented new author.

Awaken to Life in the Holy SpiritIn the Western church, our experience with the Holy Spirit ranges from untethered emotionalism to impersonal intellectualism-but He is neither untethered nor impersonal. The Holy Spirit is the trustworthy third person of the Trinity, and His power is essential to all life transformation and ministry fruitfulness. In Spirit Walk (Special Edition), Steve Smith lays out a biblical framework for understanding the Holy Spirit's work, knowing Him intimately, and being filled with His power to accomplish His purposes. The extraordinary power we see at work in Acts is still available to every believer today, whether you need a movement of God in your personal life or in your ministry. We need only believe what the word of God says and put it into practice!Spirit Walk: Study Guide is designed for either individual or small group use. In eight sessions of five days each, it guides you through the process of digesting biblical paradigms, surrendering to the Holy Spirit, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and cultivating an authentic relationship with Him. Along the way you will learn practices and rhythms for long-term spiritual growth. Become a doer of the Word as you engage in this study, and join believers who have gone before you to discover the biblical path of the Spirit Walk.
