Hospitality for Alien Strangers opens with a midsized city, once familiar, now trapped beneath an impenetrable bubble, its horizon pierced by the silhouettes of alien spacecrafts. These otherworldly beings present an ultimatum: prove humanity's worth in a mere five years.Entrusted to a pastor and the pure hearts of children, this decree thrusts the city into a whirlwind of soul-searching and revelation. What would you do to showcase the very core of your humanity? How would you bridge the chasm between yourself and those unlike you?While this tale doesn't boast the celestial artistry of biblical parables, it ignites profound dialogues about the sanctity of life and the priceless value embedded in every soul. Imagine a world where every glance reflects recognition of another's worth, where compassion and empathy aren't just virtues but a way of life.Let this story be your beacon, drawing you out from today's tumult and lighting the path to a more united, radiant tomorrow.This story of hope is more than just words-it's a journey.My aspirations for you are fourfold: May you revel in the allure of a captivating tale.Like the profound parables of Jesus, may it prompt reflections on life's profound truths.I hope it resonates so deeply that you're compelled to share and converse about it with others.And in those discussions, may you unearth the profound essence of your being and your destined path.If you desire to probe deeper on how to do this, I invite you to go to my web page, www.smccutchan.com where you will find other novels that probe the value of life and a variety of non-fiction books that show practical ways of living towards a healthier world.

A Star and a Tear is a mystery thriller with a spiritual edge. Frank Sessions is locked in a season of grief caused by the violent death of his wife during a convenience store robbery. He emerges out of his grief when a young reporter asks for his assistance in writing a story about a rape in the city and Frank realizes he has a strange connection with the anonymous rapist. It soon becomes clear that the city is confronting a serial rapist with a religious fixation. Racing against time, Frank Sessions seeks to assist the police to track down a serial rapist recognizing that there are strong indications that the rapist will soon escalate to murdering his victims. If he is to succeed, he needs to confront an embarrassing chapter in his own past and recognize the strange symbiotic relationship between sexuality and spirituality present in religion. As one reviewer commented, "As the mystery and the search for the rapist develop, the author, . . ., takes us deeper and deeper into what it means to be a person of faith in crisis. Another review states: "Amid the story's varied twists and turns there is danger and darkness, humor and irony, faith and hypocrisy. (Like in the Bible?) Whether one takes religious issues to heart or views them as a creative vehicle for the story, A Star and a Tear makes fine reading." In addition to being an exciting mystery, the story provides the opportunity for a needed discussion about the issues of sexuality and religion. As a third review states: "This book, which takes us behind the closed doors of clergy confidentiality and privilege deserves to be required reading for in-depth discussion in Pastoral Care classes in all Protestant and Catholic seminaries. It also will serve clergy groups wherever the search for integrity and support, guidance and faithfulness really matter." While an enjoyable mystery with plenty of challenging twists and turns, A Star and a Tear also provides the foundation for a discussion on both the creative and destructive power of sexuality in life. Whether it be several clergy, lay people who want to explore this significant issue in the church, or someone who is interested in how to live a healthy life, this book is both an enjoyable and valuable foundation for exploring the relationship between sexuality and spirituality in our society. The mystery will keep you reading while the group discussion may deepen friendships and challenge your thinking.

He learnt about practical miracles, synchronicity and coincidences and could channel energy. A practical person, he decided to remain in business and was later appointed General Manager of a derelict and loss-making manufacturing factory. Using the knowledge gained in the experience the board was in disbelief when in 9 months sales grew from $10m to $23,3m and a loss of $500,000 became a profit of $2.6m. The result was achieved by developing a culture that worked with the values of honesty and integrity and respect and dignity and removed fear from the workplace. The author bypassed formal proposals and justifications and used intuitive based rapid fire decision making. Exports to Japan, Canada, USA and Mozambique followed. The change happened so quickly the union official called it a miracle. New owners were only interested in the real estate and fired the author when posting $3.8m on $38m sales. He then successfully launched two start up organizations. A $2.0m community drug rehab facility Sunrise Way was launched as the author worked voluntary on a part time basis as he ran his businesses. He was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his efforts. In 3.5 years he developed The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia from an idea to a world's first working organization and its rating scheme is now involved with $220bn of Australia's civil infrastructure. He retired only to face a divorce, when his much loved brother was diagnosed with terminal leukemia and the sudden death of his son also occurred at this time. It's a story where his faith and knowledge gave him an anchor and the resilience to face these daunting challenges.
