No other attribute of God may be as significant as His holiness. The angels in His heavenly presence do not sing, "Mighty, mighty, mighty" or "Loving, loving, loving." They proclaim before Him, "Holy, holy, holy" (Is 6:3; Rev 4:8). The root meaning of "holy" is "separation." God is a separatist. And He commands, "be ye holy; for I am holy" (1 Pet 1:16). God is holy, and He demands absolute holiness in His presence. He expects separation from His people. Yet today, there seems to be less holiness than ever and very little emphasis on separation in most churches. Not much is written about separation despite the crying need for it. A Pure Church can and will help churches and their leaders fill a missing understanding in the doctrine of ecclesiastical separation. Jesus wants a pure church. His holy nature demands it. But how does God's Word teach that this is to take place? A Pure Church will answer this question and others with a careful and thorough examination of the passages that deal with the subject of separation and what they teach.

Many Christians secretly battle powerful, deadly spiritual forces -- often without realizing the source or the solution to the misery they have endured all too long. Are you one of those? Free Indeed is a devotional workbook for those believers who are struggling with destructive, "besetting" sins. Each daily reading calls attention to a specific principle that leads a disciple of the Lord into the freedom that only the Son can give. The daily format includes a brief Scripture passage, reflections, and a sample prayer to express the heart of the liberating truth focus for the day. The author himself has experienced how the truth of God's Word brought salvation and deliverance during the time when he was addicted to drugs, fascinated with the occult, and obsessed with suicidal thoughts. You too can be transformed by the truth of Scripture and receive the joyous freedom of the Lord.

In July 1995, San Jose Mercury-News reporter Gary Webb found the Big One―the blockbuster story every journalist secretly dreams about―without even looking for it. A simple phone call concerning an unexceptional pending drug trial turned into a massive conspiracy involving the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, L.A. and Bay Area crack cocaine dealers, and the Central Intelligence Agency. For several years during the 1980s, Webb discovered, Contra elements shuttled thousands of tons of cocaine into the United States, with the profits going toward the funding of Contra rebels attempting a counterrevolution in their Nicaraguan homeland. Even more chilling, Webb quickly realized, was that the massive drug-dealing operation had the implicit approval―and occasional outright support―of the CIA, the very organization entrusted to prevent illegal drugs from being brought into the United States. Within the this audiobook version of Dark Alliance, Webb produces a massive amount of evidence that suggests that such a scenario did take place, and more disturbing evidence that the powers that be that allowed such an alliance are still determined to ruthlessly guard their secrets. Webb's research is impeccable―names, dates, places, and dollar amounts gather and mount with every page, eventually building a towering wall of evidence in support of his theories. After the original series of articles ran in the Mercury-News in late 1996, both Webb and his paper were so severely criticized by political commentators, government officials, and other members of the press that his own newspaper decided it best not to stand behind the series, in effect apologizing for the assertions and disavowing his work. Webb quit the paper in disgust in November 1997. This audiobook serves as both a complex memoir of the time of the Contras and an indictment of the current state of America's press; Dark Alliance is as necessary and valuable as it is horrifying and grim.

Gary Webb had an inborn journalistic tendency to track down corruption and expose it. For over thirty-four years, he wrote stories about corruption from county, state, and federal levels. He had an almost magnetic effect to these kinds of stories, and it was almost as if the stories found him. It was his gift, and, ultimately, it was his downfall. He was best known for his story "Dark Alliance," written for the San Jose Mercury News in 1996. In it Webb linked the CIA to the crack-cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the Iran Contra scandal. His only published book, Dark Alliance is still a classic of contemporary journalism. But his life consisted of much more than this one story, and The Killing Game is a collection of his best investigative stories from his beginning at the Kentucky Post to his end at the Sacramento News & Review. It includes Webb's series at the Kentucky Post on organized crime in the coal industry, at the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Ohio State's negligent medical board, and on the US military's funding of first-person shooter video games. The Killing Game is a dedication to his life's work outside of Dark Alliance, and it's an exhibition of investigative journalism in its truest form.
