Lamb Chops and Chainsaws is the first volume in the Human Nature Series. (Warning: The author would like to point out that this book contains graphic language and descriptions of explicit sex and brutal violence). What are your neighbours really like once their front door slams shut? Are your children's teachers' sound-of-mind? Has your partner got an evil, sinister side? Is a member of your family a murderer? These questions, and more, are examined in a collection of nine disturbing short stories; tales about the darker side of human nature. Read about a wannabe serial killer who starts his reign of terror on the wrong footing. A Kindergarten teacher who has deep psychological problems that jeopardizes the safety of the children. Why a child of nine turns to violence in retaliation for drug smugglers slaughtering her parents. A fanatical mother who believes her thirteen-year-old son is possessed by the devil. How one killer spirals out of control and in his haste for victims makes a fatal mistake. A government trained killer who was set up as a scapegoat. Or a serial killer who has captured the attention of the world, and has set up one final, sickening display. What does it take to push someone that little bit too far and turn them into a killer? Find out when a savage murder is committed over a packet of lamb chops. Strangers will never seem the same again. Contents 1 Sod's Law The story of a wannabe serial killer who's not to clever when it comes to picking his victims. 2 The Last Straw A seventy-three-year-old man is pushed too far, after fifty years of constant nagging. What's the final straw? An argument about dinner; to have chicken or lamb chops. 3 The Lord is My Shepherd A mother's fanatical love of God has twisted her perception of her son; in her mind, her unruly thirteen-year-old is possessed by the devil. 4 Shattered Childhood A child's life in Mexico changes forever when drug smugglers kill her parents. To retaliate, she does something incomprehensible, even though she's only nine. 5 No Conscience A young man is deprived of his mother and sister. When he finds out why it drives him to become a murderer. Now without a conscience he sells his killing gift to the highest bidder. 6 Dirty Little Animals What happens when a kindergarten teacher has reached the end of her tether, and children are her second-worst nightmare, right after her father? 7 The Red Mist-ake He looks normal, but his desires are twisted and bloody, needing to kill when the hunger arises. However, he soon realizes that he can no longer control his inner beast when he wakes from his latest killing spree. 8 Like a Son A man the government trained as a killer is used as a scapegoat. He goes on the run, until someone unexpected from his past catches up with him. 9 The A-list A serial killer has captured the attention of the world. He has set up one final, sickening display. He plans to let the world know his twisted reasoning.

Nine Disturbing Short Stories About the Darker Side of Human Nature

Lamb Chops and Chainsaws

A pandemic has swept the globe, decimating humanity, affecting all who breathe in its deadly spores. The Sixth Extinction Series follows a collection of people from all walks of life, as they struggle to survive through the eradication of the human race. Doctor Melanie Lazaro identified the marker of the disease on the human DNA chain, and she carries a file with the information needed to create a blocker, to stop the disease from spreading. While she was being shown the four different stages of the transformation of the human host, the building came under attack by a horde of the infected. During the attack, she was rescued and placed on a helicopter en route to the Dartmoor military base. The helicopter crashed and Lazaro, along with nine military personnel, has to take shelter in a dentist’s clinic, while fighting back a mass of the infected. They gain new transportation; however, it proves to be a fatal mistake. Noah and Red join forces with an old woman called Betty, and her special need’s grandson, Lennie. The four of them hear the gunfire of the soldiers from the crashed helicopter, and Noah leaves the three behind in a house while he goes in search of rescue. However, not everything goes according to plan, and he finds himself in the wrong place at the worst possible time. Due to the timeline, the whole country is now overrun with stage three eaters – crazed, animalistic predators that only have one thing on their mind – to eat.

Capturing Beautiful Memories

Digital Wedding Photography

As I wrote this book, America was experiencing the worst economic trouble since the 1920s. Businesses were closing, thousands of homes were in forclosure, and bankruptcies were common place. I noticed many in my congregation were struggling as well, being hit with job layoffs and other financial setbacks. I was talking to God about this and I asked Him, "Why is my congregation hurting financially during this recession? Where is the God of abundance?" On January 26, 2010 at 1:15AM, I was awakened from a deep sleep as God spoke very loud and clear in my heart, four simple words, "The Tithe is Holy!" As I begin to ponder these words over the next few weeks and study them out, revelation begin to flow. Scriptures opened up to me in a whole new way. This teaching has completely transformed how our church views tithing and how we give our tithes. Perhaps it's time for you to take a new look at what the Word says about the tithe and try something different. Our God has more than enough to provide for His children. Trust Him and don't settle for anything less than His abundance!
