Fifteen-year-old David Dolephene has always been fascinated by pirates. Shy and withdrawn, he finds refuge in tales of adventure on the high seas. He gets a little more adventure than he bargained for, however, when he discovers a connection between his family and a man known as the Dolphin, captain of one of the most dangerous pirate ships of the 1600s. Within days, David finds himself on the island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands, where he comes into possession of the Dolphin's journal. The journal contains mysterious clues that could lead to hidden treasure. But he has also inherited a mortal enemy who wants only two things: the treasure, and the end of his family's line. About the Author Sean Patrick O'Mordha has been a storyteller since he could walk. He found a lot of satisfaction working as a newspaper journalist in college, but no money, so he obtained a degree in criminal justice and constitutional law and became a law enforcement officer. This career path eventually led him to work as a lead federal enforcement officer and investigator, and he was often called to prosecute cases. During this time he wrote articles for national and international police journals. Upon retirement, Sean changed direction and began concentrating on writing fiction. His Pirate Legacy series begins with this book. Future books in the series continue David's story, juxtaposed with tales of the Dolphin.

Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

We are surrounded by the temptation to glorify ourselves. We post carefully curated selfies on Instagram, chase money and pleasure, and live the "image is everything" lifestyle. We've created a culture of envy, emptiness, and depression. Even the church has bought into worldly values of wealth and status. God put us on this earth not to seek our own glory but to shine the light of his glory on a dying world. Through the life of Moses, pastor and author Michael Youssef shows us how to store up treasure that lasts by living for God's glory. Moses turned his back on privilege, pleasure, and power to invest in treasure that lasts--the treasure of God's glory. His goal must be our goal as well. Experience the rich life God intended for you. If you're not sure you've truly surrendered your whole life to God, let Treasure That Lasts be the flame that lights the way to reliance on him. This book includes a chapter-by-chapter guide for group discussion or individual study.

God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Many people are facing life-threatening diseases, terminal illness, and the long-term care of elderly parents, but have few resources to rely on in these difficult times. They often keep their challenges private only to suffer in silence with no real support system. This book delivers practical solutions to the problems everyone must deal with when they are experiencing the degradation of the quality of their life or the potential loss of a loved one. Based on experiences derived from 25 years of prayer ministry, Bertram’s Hidden Treasures provides insight and guidance to equip patients, family members, and friends to walk through these challenging times with foresight, looking for and expecting to see God at work in many miraculous ways. It offers sound advice grounded in the truths found in Scripture and the wisdom revealed through real-life stories and case studies. This book helps those who have ever wondered . . . If God is good, why are we going through this? What will our family do during this crisis? How do we fight the fear that is trying to consume us? How can we encourage reconciliation in our family? Where can we find peace in the journey? What happens when we die? Is there life after death? What is heaven like? Hidden Treasures will inspire, motivate, and encourage loved ones to begin to walk the road to heaven without the fear and anxiety associated with death and dying. They’ll discover that the Word of God has answers to the questions that seem to have no answer; and that comfort awaits as they begin to view their situation from a heavenly perspective. Ultimately, it reveals that hope is available, death with dignity is possible, and there are hidden treasures to embrace along the way.
