Jack Bennett can sense evil. His unusual gift catapults him into a spiritual world of angels and demons. Jack's unique ability makes him the FBI's newest hire, serving as a consultant for their new Paranormal Division. The alluring, dark, and dangerous powers of ancient Babylon have infiltrated the highest levels of world governments. Intoxicated by this dark force, the Western world is spiraling out of control on a collision course with judgment on the plains of Armageddon. Jack Bennett and FBI Special Agent Frank Lederman have their holy assignment. They must battle the realm of Hidden Thrones, against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
As current as this morning's newspaper, this series will challenge the reader's belief system, introduce them to the invisible world of spiritual warfare, and ensure the reader will never see the world in the same light again.

Open Warfare: The Sons of Nimrod set their sights on the White House and the elimination of Jack Bennett. 

Jack Bennett and Frank Lederman find themselves in the middle of not only a spiritual battle, but a physical one, as they continue to dig for facts in their attempt to thwart demonic forces from taking over the country. Will Emily’s new identity be revealed? Will her mission be in jeopardy? It has become evident to all of them, that they have become the hunted instead of the hunters. Dante Adal and the Sons of Nimrod set their sights on the White House and the elimination of Jack, Frank and Emily.

Senator Wellsenburg, guided by the dark council of Dante Adal, takes one step closer to the White House.

Danielle was still shaking. Her mind raced trying to process all that had just taken place. She was a laid back Virginia girl and had never seen anyone get shot before, let alone die in front of her eyes. She couldn’t believe it. She had finally met a man she really liked and then all hell breaks loose. Her thoughts and prayers were with Frank, of course, but she couldn’t get the image of Emily killing Grigori out of her head. She assumed Emily was some kind of undercover cop or FBI agent, but she wasn’t sure and she desperately needed to know. Here she was riding in the back seat of a car with two people she barely knew, racing to a hospital in hopes that the man she had met today, the man she kissed just hours ago, would live to see another day. 

The Hammer Falls finds Jack and his fellow warriors up against a growing demonic incursion.

The fourth installment of Hidden Thrones finds Jack and his fellow warriors up against a growing demonic incursion. Dante is gaining ground in D.C. and, on top of it all, there may be a traitor lurking in the shadows. Miracles are, however, on the rise as Conni and Grace lead the expanding prayer groups into battle. Meanwhile, the Mossad calls on Emily, leaving her with the decision of whether or not she is willing to accept, what has the potential to be, a very dangerous mission.

As the elections draw closer Jack and Frank begin to sense a growing conspiracy within the FBI.
President hopeful George Wellsenburg appears unbeatable aided by the evil presence of Dante Adal. The spiritual battle rages bringing new challenges and victories for the growing band of prayer warriors. Despite the wave of darkness attempting to sweep the nation, miracles abound. It is a time of testing for all who follow Jesus.
The prophet Daniel spoke of these days over 2,500 years ago. “Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.”

Follow Jack, Emily, Frank, and Daniele as they experience fulfilled prophecy and the extraordinary power of prayer.

The world of the supernatural is exposed and darkness has gripped the earth. All of creation is crying out for its Creator as Demetrius Strapollos tightens his reign of terror. In the stone city of Petra, Jerry, Jacob and their families seek protection, along with hundreds of thousands of their fellow Jews. The two prophets continue to proclaim the coming of the Lord Jesus as Strapollos and his prophet Eissen seek ways to kill them. Meanwhile, a young boy appears on the scene with some very large and powerful new friends and a battle looms in the distance as a mighty army from the East gathers to challenge the kingdom of Strapollos. Through it all, Jerry and Jacob continue their fight against the forces of evil as they patiently await the coming of the true Messiah.

The prophecy spoken of in the book of Joel is being fulfilled. “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.

On the Edge of Time involves the human heart’s earnest search for heaven in the midst of Hell come to Earth. It is two weeks after millions of people have mysteriously disappeared from the face of the earth, and, like millions of others, Jerry Westfield, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, is upset and perplexed at that loss, particularly since it took his best friends, Jeremy and Kathy Palmer. His personal concerns must be set aside, however, when the international situation frantically signals the immanent destruction of the state of Israel. It is there that Jerry is sent to cover the story of his journalistic career and is reunited with Jacob Klausman, a ‘retired’ member of the ‘Mossad,’ Israel’s secret service. It is also there that he will meet with a cataclysmic series of monsters and miracles, including Ruth, the woman who will change his mind about marriage. 

The power struggle has broken out in the open. Jack, Emily, Frank, and Danielle are fighting for their lives. President Wellsenburg has initialized his plan to eliminate all who oppose him. Biblical signs are being fulfilled daily. Authoritarian governments everywhere are cracking down on religious freedom. Lawlessness and disorder are tearing society apart as the world system readies itself for the coming antichrist. The rise of the Babylonian church described in Revelation has many changing their allegiance. Mainline churches everywhere have abandoned the Bible and preach apostasy. Yet, in the midst of it, the Holy Spirit is sweeping across the world. Millions are coming to Christ. Could this be the beginning of the end? Only God knows.
