A collection of short stories both macabre and entertaining that are certain to keep you reading. This collection, inspired by Hitchcock and King, explores the narrative of our nightmares. Experience these stories from the dark side of the mind -- that only surfaces in our dreams or imagination. Will you sleep with the light burning in your room? Can you lay down to rest without looking under your bed or in the closet for those shadows that slither while you sleep? In the Evil World ... In a future world powered by trans-humans there are compromises that we may not be able to live with. Little Miss Moffett ... The insects around us everyday have thoughts and feelings. What could possibly go wrong? The Gift ... The perfect gift from a loving husband--or is it? The Caress ... A young artist falls in love with an art collector. Will she be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for her art? Autumn Leaves ... Our obsessions can get the best of us. How one man's obsession becomes his undoing. John Smith takes you on a twisted ride through the macabre. Each tale is a glimpse into the dark corners of a madman's mind. --- Kat Perry, author of The Calm

What happens when the church finds itself clinging to beliefs and following lifestyles that clash with its surrounding culture? We become "aliens," "strangers," and outcasts in the eyes of the prevailing culture. Peter gives timeless, practical advice to Christians who refuse to cave in to the social pressures to conform to the world's thinking and behavior. John W. Smith carefully examines the texts of First and Second Peter in their original contexts and challenges today's Christian to stand strong in the face of mistreatment and even persecution. Our path from earthly life to heavenly reward is not without its hardships. In every generation, there will be those whose only way home is through the fires of adversity. With God's guidance those fires will not consume us, but will instead refine us for His kingdom. Christians are a people refined by fire. John W. Smith has more than fifty years experience as a preacher, teacher, and lectureship speaker. He has sold more than 1.4 million copies of his books, including "My Mother Played the Piano, My Mother's Favorite Song, " and the "Restoration Church " series. His speaking and writing reveal an unusual insight into life and God's Word.
