Wings in the Wind: The Reign of the Mawh'eyri
David Butler

ThunderWing was a young warrior-eagle, a champion among the Great Eagles, who dwelt in the Mountains of Mawha. His ambition was to win the title of Windlord and the privilege of taking SilverSong as his nest-mate.
But the road to greatness is far more difficult and eventful than he anticipated.

Prisoners of Hope – Ken Barnes

Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. (Zechariah 9:12 NKJV)


As Christians, we all have hopes and dreams. God has promised us to keep us in this world, yet our ultimate anticipation should not be in this world but the next. Of course, we should maintain until Christ revisits this Earth, yet, looking forward to his emanate return will make us prisoners of hope.

The context of this section of Scripture is that Zechariah was encouraging the Jews about the coming of the Messiah. A small group of people had returned from exile, but their enemies still surrounded them. He was exhorting them about a coming event. Hope is always about a future event. If you have something, you do not have to hope for it. Hope is said to be the John the Baptist of faith. It is not the same as faith, but it always goes before it. If you have no hope, you will not have faith.

In this world, we will have troubles. God has promised either to take away the struggles or to give us grace to go through them, or a combination of the two. Is our real hope in victories in these temporal issues? Or is it the one great anticipation that all believers should have, the second coming of Christ. As the Old Covenant believers looked forward to the coming of the Messiah, should not we, New Testament believers anticipate Christ’s return. Christ is coming again, not as a lamb, but a conquering king, and you will rule and reign with him. He is going to take care of business. Latch on to that truth, and you will be a prisoner of hope.

Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross. 

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time. 

Running close to 5 stars with over 180 online reviews.

Recent Amazon Review: 

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus; but truth defeats lies every time and never forsakes the believer." 2-18-17
