On the day a suicide bomber killed her parents, Tzah pledged to defend the land of Israel by any available means; put simply, to become an assassin-a warrior instead of a victim. She was twelve years old. This is her story, and the story of many others caught up in the unrelenting violence of the Middle East. A story of international adventure that sweeps from Jerusalem to New York City and back again, it reveals the complex human stories behind the violent events that the media depicts in flaming headlines. Six Points of Steel probes the heart of a beautiful woman assassin who is tired of the war she has fought so long. Can Tzah forgive herself of a shocking fatal mistake and allow herself a chance at a new life and the possibility of love? Or, are some actions unforgivable, and some people irredeemable? Mixing real-life events into lifelike fiction, J. D. Bryant bravely tackles tough questions with his tale of a female assassin in search of a new life. Full of complex characters, where even the villains have their own tragedies fueling their actions, Six Points of Steel is the first book in a riveting terrorist-adventure trilogy.

THE DOCTBINE CONSIDERED IN THE LIGHT OF THE SACRED SCRIPTURES. The intimate relations which subsist between the Son of God and His Virgin Mother, render it impossible that she should ever have been tainted with original sin. Mary has been called the first-born of His creatures -- the beloved one of God, in whom is no spot -- the tabernacle which the Most High hath sanctified. And it is in perfect consistence with what we know of the divine attributes, that the Blessed Virgin should have been created in a manner and with such perfections as He, the source of infinite holiness and infinite purity, might, without making a covenant, so to speak, with sin, unite His divinity to her virginal flesh -- for it was an integral part of her body He took. Except the hypostatic union of the divine nature of Christ with his humanity, no union of the divine and human natures could be so intimate as that which Christ had with the Virgin. In the former, the divine nature was inseparably and indivisibly united with the human nature, and constituted "one Christ." In the latter, the divine person, at the very instant of conception, was so made one with the blessed Virgin -- as to become substance of her substance -- blood of her blood -- flesh of her flesh. From that moment it became impossible to separate the Virgin Mother from her divine Son, and equally impossible to regard the human nature of the Virgin, of which He thus made His own, as ever having been the property of His chief enemy, the devil.
