It is Rome, 1943. The war in Europe is at a tipping point, but the
direction in which it will tip is terrifyingly unclear. For either
side, one dramatic initiative could change everything. It is under
these conditions that the Nazis discover a secret that has been
maintained for nearly two millennia - that the bones of Christ have
been guarded in a cave in Italy by a small, secret group. If the
bones can be uncovered, Hitler will be able to use them to topple
Christianity and turn the war irreversibly in his favor. The clues
to the location of the bones or the people protecting them are
scarce. MI-6 agent Ian Fleming and scholar J.R.R. Tolkien - working
in tandem once again at the behest of the British government - must
spearhead a hastily assembled team, including an alluring
prostitute, to piece them together before the Nazis can turn
humanity on its head. The conclusion of the stunning trilogy that
began with the national bestseller NO DAWN FOR MEN and continued
with GOD'S FORMULA, THE BONE KEEPERS is literary entertainment of
the first order.
It is 1939. The scourge that is Nazi Germany is trampling Europe as
its scientists vie to deliver ever-increasing destructive power.
Now physicist Walter Friedeman - a friend of Albert Einstein's
since childhood - has found a formula to enrich uranium in three
months rather than the previously expected five years. Such a
formula could deliver Germany the first atomic arsenal. But
Friedeman does not believe in the Nazi cause. Friedeman wants the
formula in the hands of America, but getting it to them himself
will be nearly impossible. He sets into motion a plan to use his
teenaged son, a Hitler Youth, to unwittingly do the job using a
message Friedeman has encoded in the Elvish language created by
J.R.R. Tolkien in his novel "The Hobbit."
What follows is a quest across continents as Einstein, Tolkien, and
MI-6 officer Ian Fleming work together to find Friedeman's son,
decode the message, and wrest control of the nuclear future before
Hitler can steal it for himself.
Reuniting Tolkien and Fleming after their adventure in "No Dawn for
Men," "God's Formula" is a heart-pounding thriller filled with
history both real and imagined.
In 1938, Nazi Germany prepares to extend its reach far beyond its
borders. The key to domination lies in a secret that would make
their army not only unbeatable, but un-killable. MI-6, knowing that
something potentially devastating is developing, recruits scholar
and novelist John Ronald Reuel Tolkien to travel to Germany to find
out what this might be, using the German popularity of his
children's novel THE HOBBIT as cover. Joining him there is MI-6
agent Ian Fleming, still years away from his own writing career but
posing as a Reuters journalist. Together, Tolkien and Fleming will
get to the heart of the secret - and they will face a fury greater
than even their prodigious imaginations considered possible. Both
an astounding work of suspense and a literary treasure trove to
delight fans of either author, NO DAWN FOR MEN is a nonstop
adventure.

Her marriage on the rocks, Lizzie Cronin (Phoebe Cates) is forced
to return to her domineering mother. In desperation, Lizzie calls
upon Fred (Rik Mayall), the imaginary friend of her childhood, to
help her through this difficult period. But Fred proves to be more
hindrance than help - the effects of his actions are far from
imaginary and Lizzie must take the blame.
Wil preached that we are all embraced by the unbounded everlasting
love of God. With a twinkle in his eye, he often said that he stole
that right out of the Bible. Hopefully, this collection of his
sermons will continue that process of acceptance, liberation, and
love.
