This is the uplifting story of the spiritual transformation of Bellavista prison in Medellin, Colombia, once one of the bloodiest and most violent in the world. In 1989, a riot broke out that would certainly have ended in a massacre if the warden had bowed to public pressure and ordered a military takeover. Instead he gave permission to Oscar Osorio, a former inmate and now volunteer chaplain, to hold a prayer meeting inside Bellavista's walls. An incredible moving of the Spirit of God literally quenched the rioting. Prisoners surrendered their weapons to Osorio and his small band of Christian inmates and joined them in prayer and worship. Today the prison is a changed place. Even non-Christian inmates say that Jesus Christ has become the Lord of Bellavista.

The Shining Path was once one of the most feared guerrilla movements in the world &amp; gripped Peru--and international headlines--for almost twenty years. The Path follows the story of four groups of people, including a missionary family who survived a traumatic Shining Path kidnapping and later encountered one of their captors. These stories intertwine so that, by the end, the reader has gained a number of varied perspectives on the Shining Path insurrection. The Path chronicles the suffering of Christians in that area and the remarkable strides that were made toward peace and healing in the midst of a harsh civil war.

Thirteen million people live within just a few miles of Lake Erie. From an historical perspective, it is the lake that brought them here in the first place, and it is the lake that keeps them here. Lake Erie is a source of life-giving fresh water and food, an avenue of transportation, a resource to support industry and a destination for recreation. Many who live on or near Lake Erie have little familiarity with what lies on its opposite side. Between the great industrial cities on the American side, small towns, rich farmland and many attractions are found along the shoreline. The quieter Canadian side, dotted with small villages, is rich in history and best showcases the natural beauty of the fourth largest of the Great Lakes. Lake Erie: History and Views joins both sides in one volume. Langmyer's account combines flowing narration, factual summaries, historic photographs, engravings, maps, antique postcards from his extensive collection and current photographs to tell the story of this vast inland sea. Starting with the creation of Lake Erie during the Ice Age, the story describes the lake s discovery by Europeans, the battles for its control, how people settled and developed the region around the lake, and how the population grew along its shores. The Circle of Cities and Towns section of chapters is most comprehensive. It covers the history of large to very small municipalities around the lake and includes past and present views. The author also takes the reader behind the scenes aboard a 1,000-foot lakeboat, the Walter J. McCarthy Jr., on a journey up the Great Lakes. Lake Erie is sometimes ignored or forgotten. Lake Erie: History and Views brings this natural wonder to center stage, for it is the center of the region.

Jesus Christ is sounding out His invitation now. He is wooing us - His people - out of our comfort zones and placing us into the unknown and uncharted wilderness. In the wilderness you will find out who you truly are and who He truly is. It is a known fact that the ability to deceive ourselves is great. By hearing His voice and renewing our minds as we embrace the cross, we are able to encounter the great love that He bestows upon us. In the wilderness you will find Him as your Beloved and you will discover yourself as someone who is deeply loved. The depth of the revelation of the love of God will come at some of the darkest times in your life. This is His desire - to show you who you truly are in His eternal eyes. "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." - Galatians 2:20
