Seven months have passed since Harrisburg, and many things have changed. The Illuminati have officially taken control; they have united the world's governments and military under the "United World Alliance". No longer do soldiers wear the flags of their nations, now adorned with the insignia of the United World Alliance, they swell the Illuminati's ranks. Most of the prison camps have been shut down, allowing citizens to return to their homes, schools, and jobs, but they are not free.

Philosophical Foundation argues for clarity over and against meaninglessness, which is implicit in various forms of skepticism and fideism. Throughout the book, critical analysis is applied to unexamined assumptions in the areas of metaphysics and ethics in order to address long-standing disputes.

Minds and machines, the last Homo Superior, love and betrayal, humans and superhumans, nanobots and an intelligent machine, an underwater colony and the mystic yellow lake, grim and Lucy. This is the story of my adventure with Lo Wainwright, her colony, their intelligent machine, and how the war for humanity began.

The Westminster Standards (The Westminster Confession and accompanying Shorter and Larger Catechisms) are the high-water mark of the Historic Christian Faith since they build upon the preceding councils and creeds of the Church while responding to the challenges of the Reformation. A thoughtful study of the Standards requires penetrating the material at the level of challenges and responses to the Faith.

Recovering An'nay from the hands of the Palorians wasn't enough. Ghennit's offer of protection for the Halflings, by the way of Khanahar, wasn't enough either. Most galling was Brezlin's lackluster response to this new enemy's attack. A real leader would never have stepped back, trusting someone else would protect and save them. All the hell he'd just been through was for what? Whashota's mind screamed with fury. His heart ached with pain. His body burned with the need to take action. Retribution would be swift and exact.

Grammar Catechisms: Philosophical, Theological, and Historical Foundations is the first publication of The Logos Curriculum.

The main focus of Dr. Gangadean's work is the good as the knowledge of God and the goal of the Earth being filled with the knowledge of the glory of God. He argues that for this goal to be achieved, there must first be unity in the church that the world might believe. But, for unity in the church, there must be a shared foundation. Dr. Gangadean has paved the way in showing the philosophical, theological, and historical foundations for the Christian faith with the hope that others, by the grace of God, might build a lasting culture, a city with foundations.

The Logos Papers is a collection of work from Dr. Gangadean, reflecting his teaching in philosophy, religion, and the humanities in the academy, in theology at Logos Theological Seminary, and pastoral teaching in the church. In unison with his other publications, it fundamentally calls for a focus on foundation from the Logos. The Logos is the eternal word of God in its fullness, who makes God fully known.

The history of philosophy is beset by unresolved disputes. These disputes are passed down from generation to generation as problems to be solved. If not solved, they engender skepticism. Philosophical disputes, posed as problems, can be resolved or dissolved if we first acknowledge that some things are clear to reason.

For over a year, Brezlin has waited for the mysterious Veil to fall and release the Sumaset. This unsuspecting clan had been trapped within the confines of a portal-type Veil forged by the powerful dragon known as Amerrest and transported 400 years into the future. Though this was their best hope for survival, Ammerest could not stop the inevitable. Armed with the knowledge of a civil war that has yet to happen, Brezlin, a young inexperienced leader, and his small clan of Ol'Sackay warriors are tasked with the training of these new Borrion-I to fight.

A lifetime has passed since Brezlin and his people were forced through the portals set by Aslean in the great exodus from Versa. Now given the chance to be that much closer to home than when and where they are now, Brezlin's remnant of the Ol'sackay clan has accepted the offer made by the great dragon, Amerrest. They eagerly pass through another portal, appearing 400 years into the future, setting foot on a new yet familiar land. Struggling to survive, the small band eventually discovers a mysterious, shimmering veil.

As chieftain of the Ol'sackay, Khellin's main priority is the health and safety of his clan, but right now, both are being threatened. Astride his Winddoger, Khellin watches helplessly while hundreds of his warriors lay dying all around him in this bitter fight for their lives. Desperate, Khellin turns to the only being left that can possibly help his people—Aslean. Hers are the gifts of Castalar, and she, at this point, is their only hope.
