Three to Ride chronicles the events leading to the actions taken by British colonists in America against British troops, ultimately concluding in independence for the colonies. The subject is explored over time, beginning with discord between a number of English subjects and the religious teachings of both the Church of England and the Catholic Church. The intervening years between the first settlements in America and the breakout of hostilities against Britain are discussed in an effort to examine the colonists' mindset in their rejection of subservience to Great Britain. The history that drove the American colonists to rebellion is fascinating and engrossing; understanding the attitudes and actions of the colonists who experienced this history is likewise compelling. Three to Ride presents the courage of singular individuals and groups during a momentous period.

A photograph of a massive, uncut diamond arrives at the headquarters of a diamond mine on the Limpopo River in South Africa. Some suspect the stone was stolen from the mine. The chief executive of the mine, frustrated by the inability of the mine's security organization to resolve the issue, sends his attractive female assistant to the United States to hire Brett Taylor, an American geologist. Taylor is contracted to pose as an IDB (illicit diamond buyer) to discover the truth, and to return the diamond, if it exists. Taylor travels to the South African mine where he mixes with the mine's workers at the local shebeens (pubs) and offers to buy large diamonds, no questions asked. What he finds goes way beyond the simple theft of a diamond. A diamond merchant is murdered in Antwerp. Are unknown forces threatening South Africa in its transition from apartheid to a freely elected democracy? The Scorpions, the country's famed national police, also want to know. "The Professor," a brilliant native miner, astounds Taylor with the breadth of his knowledge, but his role in the affair is unclear. Taylor seeks to learn more about the lodge in the small town of Lekkerdorp, and his curiosity places him in great danger which he must overcome if he is to succeed.
Note: Although a work of fiction, the story is based on real South African history and current events in the country.

In this unique book, Pastor Eric Redmond confronts the important question of "Where are the black men in the African-American church?" with a candid approach that combines wisdom with a conversational tone.

Instead of side-stepping issues, Redmond converses with readers about some of their reasons for not going to church-the church seems geared toward women, the preacher is just an ordinary man, Islam appears to offer more for the black man, organized religion is not necessary, churches are just after your money-and approaches their skepticism with respect but also with corrective truth. On these and other topics, Where Are All the Brothers? speaks about the things that men think about in private or discuss at the barbershop when it comes to church and religion, challenging them to reexamine their long-held assumptions.

Redmond, who has used this material in a variety of settings with great success, also gives eight things to look for when considering a good church so that readers can find a healthy, biblical church home. And it's all in this unintimidating book that can easily be read in ten minutes a day.

In this 12-week study through the book of Ephesians, Eric Redmond opens our eyes to Paul's teaching about the astonishing grace of God that enables us to walk in love, holiness, and wisdom.
