PROMISES OF NATIONAL PEACE, SAFETY & SECURITY. STOP VIOLENCE, OFFENSES, HARMS. BEGIN TO PROTECT, DEFEND & SUPPORT. TRANSFORM PERSONALLY AND COLLECTIVELY. Personal sacrifices litigate the Enemy dragging the Avenger and the Foe into the Divine Court of Justice where martyrs rule. By obeying the Seven Laws of Sacrifices we suspend judgements against self and loved ones, frustrating the enterprises of wickedness. These laws promote peace, cancel negativities and extinguish claims against you, your society and your possessions. They are the Laws of Peacemaking. Global Peace, National Security and Safety are founded upon these principles for sustainable development, self-transformation, environmental stability, social reform and plagues control. Such are dream promises that every responsible care issues, which government makes to their citizens. Violence, terrorism and conflicts pose serious health threat, thwart sustainability and waste spending. Violence is the issue in the criminal justice system and the dilemma in human rights protection. But Living Sacrifices of Peace eradicate diverse intensities of conflicts, plagues and behaviors that threaten us. As Divine Peacemaking eliminates hostilities universally, our united effort banishes all types of fear, correcting the negative, righting wrongs. Chaos will retreat, brute tendencies with distinct types of selfishness will be curtailed to balance natural laws. "Feasting the Enemy Peace" restores generations stagnated in conflict back to times of prosperity. Feasting Laws are weapons-the passcode Of Masters. The Temple Church is the divine agency that establishes these metaphysical principles for global peace, security and safety. The Temple Church represents sustainability and threats-reversal.

"This is a profound book. and not for the faint of heart. Joseph Kinnebrew is a deep thinker and has created a masterpiece for moral debate and further consideration. Kinnebrew crafted a surreal tale using metaphors woven together as only a consummate artist can. This book and ideas of the four concepts of faith, forgiveness, redemption and resurrection will remain in my mind for some time to come.Others would do well to read this very important book."-Rear Admiral Edward J. Hogan, USN (ret.)"Honestly, l am still shaken as to where your words took me. Places so dark where unexpected truths were revealed, naked and for all to see. I have to admit, I could only read bits at a time just so I could process the gifts of honesty and consequences. Always in there is the VOICE of our conscious mind and reason.The Orchard is not a book that will be placed on my mental library, not a book to be forgotten after a month or year has passed. This is a book that is now a part of my very existence. How many books can you say with grace, that honestly hold that place? That place of Change.Joseph, I knew you were an artist with your mind, in creating all you have visually. But, friend, your writing is an art unto its own. I cried at the end and I cried because the end was the beginning of life."-Antonella Novi
