This book is a fascinating testimony that reveals the reality of the real war, the spiritual battle raging between the two kingdoms-the kingdom of this world with the powers of the occult attempting to establish the son of Satan as ruler over "The New World Order" versus the eternal King Jesus Christ and his kingdom, which will manifest at his second coming and fill the entire earth. This is the battle, the real one that affects every person that has ever lived on this planet. In 1967, Duane Kershner was abruptly interrupted while working his way through architectural studies. He was drafted into the US army and sent to Vietnam. After the war, disoriented and disillusioned, he went "south," leaving the United States in search for truth, if there was one. His intense search eventually led him to enroll in an international university in Mexico City. Unknown by Duane, the university had been infiltrated by Satanists who were recruiting for the "New World Order." Blind to what was happening, Duane was gradually being trapped and prepared for a Black Sabbath Mass where the Satanists would attempt to bring him "across the line" and into the ranks of Satan. He narrowly escaped from the satanic ritual, but the Satanists did not give up easily. Duane was brought face-to-face with death. Seconds before his soul would have passed through the eternal gates of hell, he called for the blood of Jesus. Jesus miraculously caught his descending soul, brought it back to his body, and saved him from hell. The power and glory of God began to fill every cell of his body. He was healed, delivered from the grips of Satan, and called into the army of the Lord Jesus Christ. After an intense time of training, he was commissioned by the Holy Spirit with the mission of taking the truth of Jesus Christ to the unreached indigenous tribes of Southern Mexico.

“By turns funny, tragic, astute, and enlightening, [Dreams of Bread and Fire] is an engrossing coming-of-age tale.” —Library Journal, starred review Half Jewish, half Armenian Ani is desperately in love with a New England boy with a trust fund as big as his appetites, and the farthest thing possible from the Old World accents and superstitions that filled her childhood home. But after leaving for a year in Paris, she receives a letter from him ending their relationship. Embarking on a series of romantic misadventures, Ani soon reconnects with a childhood friend. Elusive and intriguing, Van Ardavanian is preoccupied with the Armenian heritage they share and provides Ani with a new connection to her identity—even as she begins to suspect that he has a secret, and dangerous, identity himself. The dark shadows of history surrounding Van propel Ani into a profound and passionate series of journeys: a quest for a long-dead father, a search for the clues of a nearly forgotten genocide, and a love threatened by a quietly gathering storm of murder and retribution. “Kricorian does for young women what James Joyce did for middle-aged men: She allows us to scramble safely amid the debris of new love, rejection, sex and identity.” —Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review
