The Invitation "Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." (1 Corinthians 2: 6-8) The Mystery is the gateway to understanding the Grace of God as taught in the New Testament. From the beginning of time, God had a secret...a "mystery which for ages has been hidden in God" (Ephesians 3:9). Jesus, while dying on the cross, said, "It is finished." He said this "knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled" (John 19:28-30). Now, at that very moment, something was made complete that was incomplete before. Now, something was finished that was unfinished before. "It has now been revealed to His holy apostles and [New Testament] prophets in the Spirit [this] mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men" (Ephesians 3:3-6). Today's contemporary church has lost touch with the knowledge of this "mystery" and, as such, has abused Grace and short-changed Faith. Possessing this "full knowledge of Christ" (2 Peter 1:3) will cause you to "never stumble" (v.11) as you become "a mature man to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13). God had "something better for us" (Hebrews 11:40). Come and see what "it" was and is!

After an old college buddy persuades him to guide a group of Americans traveling through Japan, Phil Fletcher's debut as a tour guide takes his life in unexpected directions. The group includes a high-powered career woman who finds far more than historic sights in the Land of the Rising Sun; a man who discovers a hidden interest in Japanese erotica; a neglected wife and a Southern belle vying for attention on Phil's futon; and a retired couple facing their deepest fears on the much-anticipated trip of a lifetime. Private dramas provoke crises and life-changing decisions during this twelve-day tour of Japan, as the group travels from the serenity of ancient Kyoto temples to the towering heights of Tokyo skyscrapers.

The last thing Tommy Lovell expects is death in a family business. It's 1986, and Tommy's dream restaurant has failed, taking his shaky mar¬riage along with it. Now he's licking his wounds back in his childhood bedroom, while he takes stock of his life at the end of his 20s. Reluc¬tantly, Tommy agrees to tag along when his father offers to help his friend Otto Jonker save Otto's struggling appliance/TV store in a dying Berkshires town. Tommy is ready for a change of scenery, maybe a bit of romance, and-if he's lucky-a chance to fly his father's Cessna. But the trip takes a disastrous turn after Otto skids off the road during a midnight motorcycle ride and is critically injured, forcing Tommy and his father into unexpected danger as they make disturbing discoveries about Otto's personal and professional troubles.
