  •   It's always fun to win. Whether it's a contest, a competition, or a prize, it's fun to win. So here's your chance to win a Kindle copy of Athol Dickson's first novel in the crime/suspense genre, number one book in the Malcolm Cutter Series. Author, publicist, and overall talented publishing geek Tim George will…

  •   Be very careful then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. . . . Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against…
