  Piece Of The Moon

  $15.99

  When eccentric millionaire Gideon Quidley receives a divine revelation to hide his earthly treasure somewhere in the hills, he sets out to find a fitting hiding spot, choosing only a few Bible verses as clues leading to untold riches of gold, silver, cash, and one very unexpected, and very costly, item.

  Treasure hunters descend upon the hills of West Virginia, including those surrounding the small town of Emmaus, where TD Lovett and Waite Evers provide the latest updates and the beating heart of the community on radio station Country 16. Neither man is much interested in a wild-goose chase for Quidley’s treasure, though. Waite is busy keeping the station afloat and caring for the bruised souls who have landed there. Meanwhile, TD’s more intent on winning over local junkyard owner Pidge Bledsoe, who has taken in a shy, wounded boy to raise.

  But after an estranged friend nearly meets with tragedy searching for the treasure, TD is unexpectedly drawn into the hunt. As TD joins the race to find Quidley’s wealth, he discovers where his own real treasure lies, and he begins to suspect there’s a hidden piece to Gideon Quidley’s treasure that no one could’ve expected.

  Diamantes En La Noche – (Spanish)

  $20.00

  Crees en los angeles? -Me preguntaron un dia. – !Claro que si! -respondi de inmediato.

  Lo que jamas imagine es que ellos, los angeles, fueran a intervenir en mi vida de la forma en que lo hicieron. Esta podria ser la reflexion de Julio, el protagonista de Diamantes en la noche.

  El y su esposa Sara son un matrimonio feliz; tienen dos hijas y tres nietos. Ambos aman a Dios y le sirven mientras disfrutan de una hermosa estabilidad en todos los ambitos de su vida.

  De pronto, su existencia se ve dinamitada por un comunicado que quiebra los pilares de su vida.

  De tal calibre es el seismo, que la fe de Julio se resquebraja y comienza una feroz lucha entre la esperanza y la desesperacion.

  En este drama interviene el mundo de la luz, utilizando como cauce a tres nios que, sin duda, haran vibrar las fibras mas sensibles de los lectores. Pero tambien interviene el mundo de la oscuridad. De ese modo comprobaremos que lo que ocurre en nuestro ambito natural no es sino un reflejo de la batalla que se libra en el mundo espiritual. Asistiremos a la confrontacion entre las dos grandes superpotencias: el bien frente al mal. La luz frente a las tinieblas. Un principado frente a un Rey. Pero una de las dos superpotencias reconocera la supremacia de la otra.

  Diamantes en la noche dibujara sonrisas y provocara risas, pero tambien humedecera los ojos con frecuencia y ablandara el barro de nuestro corazon, tornandolo en arcilla moldeable.

  Pero sobre todo, avivara nuestra fe.

  Do you believe in angels? – They asked me one day.

  – Of course! – I answered immediately.

  What I never imagined is that they, the angels, were going to intervene in my life the way they did.

  This could be the reflection of Julio, the protagonist of Diamonds in the Night.

  He and his wife Sara are a happy marriage; they have two daughters and three grandchildren. Both love God and serve Him while enjoying beautiful stability in all areas of their lives.

  Suddenly Julio’s existence is energized by a statement that breaks the pillars of his life.

  Of such caliber is the earthquake that Julio’s faith cracks, and a fierce struggle between hope and despair begins. The world of light intervenes in it, and it does so using as a channel three children that will undoubtedly make vibrate the most sensitive fibers of the readers. But the world of darkness also intervenes. In this way we will verify that what happens in our natural environment is nothing but a refle
