Josh McCavendish had just finished his sophomore year in high school and was looking forward to a summer off--though it would not be the summer he expected. The girl arrived unexpectedly, stumbling into their campsite that night, deathly ill, and would have died but for the skillful care of Grandmom McCavendish. The girl, Kwil, slowly explores her new world, finding love for a new family to replace the one she had left behind, and a blossoming love for their grandson, Josh, at least until she remembers that the evil that chased her to this strange place still pursues her.

A world away, in the Arkshu Valley, Kwil's parents are frantic to find their missing daughter and ultimately discover that a larger plan, laid from the beginning of time, is unfolding with Kwil as the central player. Together, with tribal elders, they determine to embark on a dark journey to save their missing daughter

Back home in the small town of Neosho, Missouri, Josh's grandparents, along with his family and friends, play a dangerous game of cat and mouse to elude the sinister powers that have taken over their town, while Josh and Kwil race to find a mythical mountain and the secret that lay hidden there.

They all must succeed or watch as their worlds are plunged into darkness forever.

Philosophy and Christianity make truth claims about many of the same things. They both claim to provide answers to the deep questions of life. But how are they related to one another? Four Views on Christianity and Philosophy introduces readers to four predominant views on the relationship between philosophy and the Christian faith and their implications for life. Each author identifies the propositional relation between philosophy and Christianity along with a section devoted to the implications for living a life devoted to the pursuit of wisdom. The contributors and views include: Graham Oppy--Conflict: Philosophy Trumps Christianity K. Scott Oliphint--Covenant: Christianity Trumps Philosophy Timothy McGrew--Convergence: Philosophy Confirms Christianity Paul Moser--Conformation: Philosophy Reconceived Under Christianity General editors Paul M. Gould and Richard Davis explain the background to the discussion and provide some historical background in the introduction, as well as helpful summaries of each position in the conclusion. In the reader-friendly Counterpoints format, this book helps readers to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed conclusions in this much-debated topic.

Blossom is an interactive program for making statistical comparisons with distance-function based permutation tests developed by P. W. Mielke, Jr. and colleagues at Colorado State University (Mielke and Berry 2001) and for testing parameters estimated in linear models with permutation procedures developed by B. S. Cade and colleagues at the Fort Collins Science Center, U. S. Geological Survey (known as the Midcontinent Ecological Science Center prior to 2002). This manual is intended to update and replace earlier versions by B. S. Cade and J. D. Richards dated 2000 and 1999 and by W. B. Slauson, B. S. Cade, and J. D. Richards dated 1991 and 1994. We have expanded on material in earlier versions and provide documentation on new routines added since 2000. Routines added since 2000 are: double permutation (HYP/DP) procedures for linear model tests (OLS, LAD regression, and quantile rank score tests) when null models are either implicitly or explicitly constrained through the origin, i.e., no intercept models (Cade 2003, Cade et al. 2005, Cade et al. In press); dropping all but a single zero residual in LAD (and quantile) regression permutation tests of subsets of variables in multiple regression models (Cade 2005, Cade and Richards In press); and computation of all quantile regression estimates (LAD/ QUANT = ALL). In addition, we now offer the option of saving output to a terse formatted file that is useful for summarizing results of multiple simulations (OUTPUT /TERSE or VERBOSE), and the option to store (SAVETEST = file name) the vector of permuted test statistic values from Monte Carlo resampling approximations of probabilities. The computer code has been made more efficient where possible and was compiled with Lahey Fortran 95 to dynamically allocate memory.

Knowledge is not so much

The filling of a vessel

As the lighting of a fire

Understanding is not so much

The assembly of parts

As the wonderment of discovery

Wisdom is not so much

The union of fire and discovery

As the tranquility within the storm

Inspiration is not so much

The elation of epiphany

But to see life with new eyes

Enlightenment is not so much

The invigoration of the soul

But the realization of the unseen

The Path Lies Within

As Nutank's children continue their legacy of personal liberty, the country is in the throes of its own Pathway to Liberty. Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, Nutank faces his own struggles between accepting his children's opposing decisions regarding their involvement in the conflict and his personal belief that war only destroys lives, yet settles little.
On a peaceful April morning in Vermont, while the pleasing sound of the loon's call was being heard across the placid waters of Lake Memphremagog, musket fire was shattering the morning's calm to the south on the village green at Lexington, Massachusetts. These first shots of the American Revolution were ushering in a new nation. But the birthing process would prove for many to be exceptionally long and exceedingly painful. The story begun in Abenaki Autumn continues as Nutank's family navigates the many different pathways to liberty confronting each of them.

War and passions erupt violently when Native American and European Cultures collide
"Were I in my village tonight, I would hear the wind moving through the trees. I think maybe I might hear also a child laugh somewhere within a neighbor's lodge. Here I hear music coming from the large stone house, but I do not hear the wind working its way through these trees. Torches and candles burn everywhere as if to turn night into day, but your people do not gather around the flames. Your fires are only lit to provide light, and the brightness of this light drives away the peoples' view of the stars from your night sky. Then while I wonder at why you would do this, you shoot make-believe stars and thunder up into the sky. When I breathe I cannot smell the earth of your land. All this is so, so different for me."
"Did my father run along the pathway leading north from our village?
Did he search for sign possibly left by my moccasins as I passed that way? It has been so long, so long. What has he told my mother that could comfort her in her agony and worry? Do my parents hear me when the wind blows and the trees sway? Do they look in the new fallen snow for my footprints?"
