Ocean modeler Carl Drews explains the science behind the biblical narrative with diagrams and easy-to-understand language. When Moses stretched out his hand over the yam suf at God's command, a weather event known as wind setdown parted the waters. The crossing site is located in the eastern Nile delta. You can fly over the same spot with Google Earth. Yes, the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt really did happen. This journey of scientific discovery is not a smooth one. Along the way Drews makes an embarrassing mistake in graduate school, discovers an important clue in the University of Colorado library, discovers Open Access publishing, and triggers an angry outburst from a few bloggers. Faith and science are in harmony, and these two disciplines can contribute to each other. The book includes 18 maps, 24 figures, 9 tables, and evidence for the historicity of the Exodus.

Crossing the Unknown Sea is about reuniting the imagination with our day to day lives. It shows how poetry and practicality, far from being mutually exclusive, reinforce each other to give every aspect of our lives meaning and direction. For anyone who wants to deepen their connection to their life’s work—or find out what their life’s work is—this book can help navigate the way. Whyte encourages readers to take risks at work that will enhance their personal growth, and shows how burnout can actually be beneficial and used to renew professional interest. He asserts that too many people blindly trudge through a mediocre work life because so many “busy” tasks prevent significant reflection and analysis of job satisfaction. People often turn to spiritual practice or religion to nurture their souls, but overlook how work can actually be our greatest opportunity for discovery and growth. Crossing the Unknown Sea combines poetry, gifted storytelling and Whyte’s personal experience to reveal work’s potential to fulfill us and bring us closer to ultimate freedom and happiness.

Three sisters bound by something more powerful than blood---a secret as deep as the ocean. Once a maid, Hannah is now engaged to a talented painter. But although both were born mer, Stannish has severed ties to the sea and insists that Hannah do the same. Torn between love and the Laws of Salt, Hannah must make a choice that can only lead to heartbreak. Lucy grew up longing to swim, but her mother believed that girls belonged in the drawing room, not the ocean, and took drastic measures to keep Lucy's identity a secret. Now it's up to Lucy's sisters to save her, before she succumbs to landsickness . . . or the executioner's noose. After a lonely childhood, May suddenly found everything she'd ever wanted. But now with Hannah pulling away and Lucy sentenced to die, May's world is falling apart. Is she destined to lose her sisters all over again? This conclusion is as beautiful and dangerous as the sea itself. Fans of Downton Abbey will delight in the Edwardian splendor, and all readers will be swept away by a tide of magic and romance.

For fifty years, Australia has schemed to deny East Timor billions of dollars of oil and gas wealth. With explosive new research and access to never-before- seen documents, Kim McGrath tells the story of Australia’s secret agenda in the Timor Sea, exposing the ruthlessness of successive governments. Australia did nothing to stop Indonesia’s devastating occupation of East Timor, when – on our doorstep – 200,000 lives were lost from a population of 650,000. Instead, our government colluded with Indonesia to secure more favourable maritime boundaries. Even today, Australia claims resources that, by international law, should belong to its neighbour – a young country still recovering from catastrophe and in desperate need of income. Crossing the Line is a long-overdue exposé of the most shameful episode in recent Australian history. ‘Revelatory, extraordinary and compelling – an absolute must-read.’ —Peter Garrett ‘Crossing the Line is an unassailable exposé of Australia’s ruthless pursuit of resources in the Timor Sea. A timely and definitive book.’ —José Ramos-Horta ‘Kim McGrath has trawled the national archives to produce the smoking gun on Australia’s callous betrayal of the people who supported our commandos in World War II, and on the immoral and unlawful appropriation of their oil.’ —Paul Cleary Kim McGrath has been published in the Monthly and has long experience working in government and policy development. She is Research Director at the Bracks Timor-Leste Governance Project, which provides policy advice to the Timor-Leste government.

In 1978 Ron Wyatt and his two sons discovered and photographed ancient wheels on the floor of the Red Sea. Mr. Wyatt took one of these wheels, a hub with eight spokes, to the director of antiquities in Cairo. The director verified the wheel to be from the eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Less than ten years later in 1984 they discovered Mt. Sinai in Saudi Arabia. The mountain they found was immediately recognizable due to the fact that only the top was blackened. Exodus 19:18 records that in God’s anger He sent fire down to the top of the mountain. The book is unique in that it takes a mystery of ancient history and explains it in a compelling, easy to follow, and understandable read. There are details that substantiate historical and geographical research, the journey of Moses. Let’s go back in time when two million people walked on dry ground on a pathway normally covered by a sea, each side with mile deep canyons similar to the Grand Canyon of the United States. Learn the background and setting of one of the most miraculous Acts of God that has ever been written...... “Dr. Schuck presents real facts that bring to light truth about a mystery of ancient history. Utilizing her extensive teaching background and solid research she presents a factual and concise narrative of what really happened in The Red Sea Crossing. She makes the case for the true story in a way that is compelling, easy to follow and understandable. I highly recommend this book for all who seek truth. It should be added to every believers’ library of tools for defending the faith.” — Fletcher Christiansen, Industrial Planning Consultant “I believed in the Red Sea Crossing based on faith. It was such a comfort to read the amazing details in God’s Treasure Red Sea Crossing that substantiate, through historical and geographical research, the journey of Moses. Pokie transforms an age-old story into a journey founded in faith and fact.” — Veronica Foster, Author Storybridges, Language Programs for Children

An extensive geographical investigation of the biblical Exodus that focuses on the identity of the sea that parted for the Israelites. The analysis shows that the traditional terms, Red Sea or Reed Sea, clash with the meaning and geography of Yam Suph, the name of the sea in the Hebrew Bible. This work presents its true location and the details of the Exodus route needed to reach it.
