This softcover volume collects Weird Science issues #13–#18 with remastered digital color based on Marie Severin’s original tones. Includes the adaptations of two Ray Bradbury tales, “The Long Years” and “Mars is Heaven.”

Foreword by Jerry Weist, comic art historian and author of the Hugo Award-nominated Ray Bradbury: An Illustrated Life.

(1 Corinthians 2: 6-8) The Mystery is the gateway to understanding the Grace of God as taught in the New Testament. From the beginning of time, God had a secret...a "mystery which for ages has been hidden in God" (Ephesians 3:9). Jesus, while dying on the cross, said, "It is finished." He said this "knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled" (John 19:28-30). Now, at that very moment, something was made complete that was incomplete before. Now, something was finished that was unfinished before. "It has now been revealed to His holy apostles and New Testament] prophets in the Spirit this] mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men" (Ephesians 3:3-6). Today's contemporary church has lost touch with the knowledge of this "mystery" and, as such, has abused Grace and short-changed Faith.

In this novel about love and longing, regret and renewal, a brother and sister discover a surprising secret after the death of their father: a photo of a young woman who was his lover decades before and half a world away. Even as they mourn their father, an eminent surgeon, David and Abbie question what they thought they knew about his life-and theirs-as they struggle with conflicting memories, unexpected emotions, and new possibilities.

After an old college buddy persuades him to guide a group of Americans traveling through Japan, Phil Fletcher's debut as a tour guide takes his life in unexpected directions. The group includes a high-powered career woman who finds far more than historic sights in the Land of the Rising Sun; a man who discovers a hidden interest in Japanese erotica; a neglected wife and a Southern belle vying for attention on Phil's futon; and a retired couple facing their deepest fears on the much-anticipated trip of a lifetime. Private dramas provoke crises and life-changing decisions during this twelve-day tour of Japan, as the group travels from the serenity of ancient Kyoto temples to the towering heights of Tokyo skyscrapers.
