On the beautiful island of Mykonos, in the days of Ancient Greece, Teraditus, now an old man, lives a life of peace and simplicity. However, great mystery lies behind his eyes, with untold stories and thrilling adventures. As his family members gather for a reunion, a curious daughter-in-law begins to dig into Teraditus’s past, prompted by the appearance of an enigmatic woman—an old friend of Teraditus’s—who seems to emanate a power beyond this world. Little does everybody know that Teraditus’s own gathering mirrors one happening within the Council of the Gods, and that the beings involved—humans, gods, and those in-between—are all divinely linked. When Teraditus is convinced to share his story, he begins in his home land of Libu (modern-day Libya), where, as a ten-year-old boy, he lived a life of relative tranquility, spending his days fishing with his father and their odd crew, learning survival skills from his big-brother figure, and going on nighttime expeditions with his cousin, Gershom. When one of these expeditions leads them into the claws of faceless men—a darkness the children could never have fathomed—everything Teraditus knows and loves is ripped from his grasp in a single night. When he awakens from this nightmare, pulled back from the brink of death by soldiers in bronze armors and crimson cloaks, he finds himself bound for a future overseas in the Greek city-state of Sparta, where he will become either a soldier or a slave. Having lost everything, his fate now lies in the hands of the gods. Journey Unknown, the first volume in Travis Campbell’s compelling The Children of Sparta series, is a historical fantasy where readers will embark on a journey that spans from the realms of the gods down to the bloody reality of life as a lost child in a world without a place to call home. With tragedies, victories, and struggles around every corner, readers will not only get a fascinating glimpse into what life was like in the ancient days before the Battle of Thermopylae, but they will be endlessly curious to know of the great destiny—which has come at a great cost—that awaits the young protagonist and his cousin.

Drawing on rarely examined diaries and journals, Down the Great Unknown is the first book to tell the full, dramatic story of the Powell expedition. On May 24, 1869 a one-armed Civil War veteran, John Wesley Powell and a ragtag band of nine mountain men embarked on the last great quest in the American West. The Grand Canyon, not explored before, was as mysterious as Atlantis—and as perilous. The ten men set out from Green River Station, Wyoming Territory down the Colorado in four wooden rowboats. Ninety-nine days later, six half-starved wretches came ashore near Callville, Arizona. Lewis and Clark opened the West in 1803, six decades later Powell and his scruffy band aimed to resolve the West’s last mystery. A brilliant narrative, a thrilling journey, a cast of memorable heroes—all these mark Down the Great Unknown, the true story of the last epic adventure on American soil.

Journey Into The Unknown is a story about Alzheimer's disease, but even more so, it is a story about the faithfulness of God in the difficult times of life. Artie Sudan is a physician in Internal Medicine who has taken care of hundreds, if not thousands of patients with Alzheimer's. He has given out much advice to their caregivers and would consider himself an expert in the field. But when his own wife is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease at age 53, he begins a journey into unknown territory - being a caregiver himself. He finds that all of his advice and experience over the years, while good, did not prepare him for all that this new job would require. This job takes him totally out of his comfort zone and beyond his giftings. But he is not without resources and he does not give in to despair. This book also traces a long line of God's faithfulness to Artie and his wife, Luana, over the decades before this dreaded diagnosis. He describes how each of these instances become like little stones of remembrances that he puts in his altar to God where he worships. This then becomes a well from which he draws when he needs the strength to go on or to handle a new situation. This is a story about a real person, with real struggles, doubts and questions. It does not make him out to be a super saint. It does show God to be super, but even more so, to be faithful. As you read their story, you will be encouraged that you, too, can rely on the faithfulness of God when you encounter your own journeys into the unknown.
