Divine Endorsement by Andrew J Weis
About Divine Endorsement by Andrew J Weis
Divine Endorsement is an immersive death defying race against time that kicks off the John Harrod Trilogy in an intense and electrifying fashion!
John Harrod believes time travel is impossible. He believes the existence of God and angels is the stuff of fairy tales. While John and his friend Dave go on a bicycle trip across France, they’re steered into a mystical gateway that takes them back in time to the horrors of World War One. While John and Dave train as recon pilots, John learns that his reclusive great-grandfather, a man he never knew, holds the last page of a divine text called the Book of Ancients. To return home, John must find him. However, a ruthless fallen angel is also searching for the last page and intends to use it to re-create humanity in an evil image. The race is on to find the last page, a sprint that leads to a chilling revelation John never expected. Can John find his ancestor in time, or will he doom humanity to a dark alternative existence?

Author Bio:
While writing unique time travel adventures with an angelic flair, Andrew works in information technology for a Fortune 500 insurance company. To prepare for this book, Andrew flew in a Stearman biplane during a presentation of the Chicago Air show. This experience enabled him to get a feel for what it was like to fly in an open cockpit airplane and imagine what those first aerial fighters experienced. A distant relative of Andrew’s served with the U.S. Cavalry during World War I and suffered a service-ending injury when a horse threw him off his mount. These personal experiences inspired Andrew’s interest in the war and to use it in a new way with Divine Endorsement. He’s competed in rifle matches and achieved sharpshooter status. While exploring interests in time travel, genealogy, and little known religious writings, Andrew has applied these interests and life experiences in creating time travel adventures with angelic influence, notably The Hali Nonology. He lives in Arlington Heights, IL.
Venial Sins by Dr. Louis Dezseran
About Venial Sins by Dr. Louis Dezseran
James is an over-weight seventh grader studying the Catechism to make his Confirmation, but when James confesses that he isn’t sorry for one on his ‘sins’, Father Bogdan postpones the sacrament and punishes him with a penance of one hundred Acts of Contrition. Why would James disappoint his family so badly?
Months ago, James and his best pal, Steve, visit the school to which they have been registered, Maple Grove, an ancient, forbidding-looking three story brick fortress. They are met by Piggy, the school bully, a brute, nearly sixteen, who already wears a goatee. It’s 1957, and Piggy has grown to manhood at Maple Grove in the days before Social Promotion. Unable to pass his classes, Piggy has learned how to work the system, and he has become the pet of Maple Grove’s Principal, Dr. Justine Tzapp, who defends Piggy at all costs, never questioning whether he is wrong or right.
Piggy corners James after school, body shames him and beats him mercilessly, intimidating James into silence and pushing him to fail in the science class they share. Soon, James’ friends begin to avoid him. The whole school enjoys watching Piggy usurp the Monkey Bars at lunchtime, swinging hand-over-hand continually to the delight of the seventh grade girls who squeal at Piggy’s tricks and giggle whenever Piggy mocks James about his weight. Piggy steals James’ beloved bicycle and intensifies the frequent beatings. The new science teacher, Mr. DeVries, a Navy Veteran, senses what is happening and offers to train James to defend himself. Piggy is a seasoned fighter and he traps James into a vicious battle before James can master the new skills. James winds up in the hospital where his mother is Director of Nursing. James is bewildered and he begins to question everything that he held true and sacred.
The only Maple Grove girl who is unimpressed with Piggy is a Hungarian refugee, Gizi Szabo, who commutes daily from Camp Kilmer in a military van with two other refugees, Lazlo and Andras.
Mr. DeVries assigns Gizi and James to work together on a Science Fair project. They become friends. James’ parents contact the Camp Kilmer Director and arrange for Gizi to visit their home so James and Gizi can concentrate and complete their science project. That evening Gizi explains how she survived the 1956 Hungarian Revolt, how she saw her father murdered by the AVO, how they dragged her mother away and how the Pastor of her Reform Church hid her from the Soviets in the church coal bin. This is why she adopted the name ‘Gizi’, which means ‘Pledge’ in Hungarian. She inspires James and helps him realize that he can never combat Piggy at Piggy’s own game with fists; James must find a different way. James does, but it costs him his Confirmation.

new Kings of Tomorrow
Twenty years ago, Jacob lost everything. Just as he was starting to figure out life as a college freshman,
his world was suddenly shattered when a devastating illness destroyed the world he once knew and
claimed the lives of everyone that mattered to him.
Jacob and the other survivors of the pandemic were transported to the Palace Program. Housed in
a quarantined modern facility, the Palace is a perfect community designed to protect them from the
sickness that wiped out ninety-five percent of the world population.
The Order, which has risen as the new ruling power, believes the desires of the old world were
responsible for its collapse. They appoint Sirus, the program director, to rehabilitate the survivors and
continue with the reproduction of mankind.
As the years go by and Jacob’s relationships in the Palace become more complex, he slowly begins
to see that the man-made utopian society is nothing close to a perfect tomorrow, but is instead an
unfathomable deception.
New Kings of Tomorrow is a high intensity, self introspective journey through a dystopian world on the brink of a revival or implosion. This book is Handmaid’s Tale, Under the Dome, The Dark Tower, and The Maze Runner intertwined into one amazing work of fiction.

Kabbalah 33
For centuries Kabbalah was driving force behind Judaism – a common faith of all Jews. It is a semi-science dealing with the influence the Lord has on the universe and vice-versa.
In this book the author has decided to explain most of the secrets behind this mystical knowledge. As well as Judaism, Kabbalah was also passed down from generation to generation but, as the Holocaust happened, it was almost eradicated – the eternal cycle was nearly broken.
To save the knowledge and allow this mystical science to grow, the author has decided to present it to you in a form of book. A book that will be denied and even hunted by many.
