Peter Thompson is not a man you want to double-cross.
Trained by the U.S. Military to use deadly force, he looks forward to a life where violence isn’t a daily requirement. What he finds instead seems far worse.
Peter enters law enforcement in South Florida, hoping to make a positive impact on the world. But his even-handed, just ways don’t sit well with his superiors, so he moves his family to Arizona and takes a job as a Corrections Officer in a Phoenix prison. All is well until he blows the whistle on a corrupt guard earning himself a near-death beating by inmates while the other guards turn a blind eye.
Disillusioned and fed up with the corruption and deceit, Peter answers an ad to buy a trucking company. This is the answer to his dreams. Owning a company where he can treat employees and customers fairly and with respect. He soon learns deception, fraud, and crookedness run deep within the business brokerage industry. Everyone he thinks is on his side is secretly working against him.
Peter is smarter than they think. When he unravels the schemes, he sets in motion a series of events that will have the culprits begging for mercy and Peter questioning his true nature.
A story of corruption in a man’s life. Corruption not only in the world of employment but also within society, the court system, and the Government. A man born into a family that is anti-Christian. This story shows how a boy became a man surviving incredible experiences and loss, recognized God yet turned his back to God in anger. A story of how a young man, who had everything against him and most everyone, turned his life around through the Grace of God and his Son Jesus Christ. This is not a story for the squeamish, it is not a “fluff” story. It is a story with violence, loss of innocence and the lessons of loss, love and strength. This is a story for Christians and Non-Christians alike, if they dare! It is a story which asks you to think of your own life. It is a story that asks the reader to think of how they would react. It is a story of how one man adopted an Attitude! That attitude is: Be Bold! Have An Attitude!
ARE YOU A TRUE CHRISTIAN?
Many of us believe we are “true” Christians because we attend a particular church or follow a particular faith. But, as Christian or in Name Only? will show, being a true Christian means adhering to the Scriptures as they were written, not as some have chosen to interpret them.
Philip Tullis lays out the simple facts and truths of the Scriptures, which have often been convoluted and misinterpreted to satisfy the desires of man. This, in turn, has corrupted the ideal of true Christianity and led us to a world where many are Christians in name only. His solution is based on trust – trusting in the Word of our God handed down so many years ago, yet every bit as relevant today.
While masterfully bringing together science, historical writings, and biblical quotes to illustrate how the three interact to support God’s existence, the main tenet is that WE are responsible to study God’s Word for ourselves and to live it. Living the Word is not easy. Some who read this book may get angry at what is being asked of them. Others will be enlightened. All will come to a new perspective or understanding of what it means to be a true Christian and a servant of God.
Tim Tulloch is a man conflicted.
From the age of four, his father and others trained him in ten forms of hand-to-hand combat, firearms, the bow, the sword, and the staff. He’s excelled at all of them. When his family dies in a mysterious car accident, his grandmother encourages Tim to turn to the Bible. The teachings he learns in its pages cause him to question his true nature. Tim knows his family didn’t die in an accident – they were murdered. He vows to find out who killed them and why.
At 19, he is recruited by the Unit; a three-person secret team started by President Eisenhower. Their mission is to serve America by stealthily fighting the forces of the Group of Twenty and the Apolluons, both of whom want to destroy the country and take control. The Unit is supposed to be non-violent, which fits well with Tim’s new beliefs. But circumstances take a deadly turn causing Tim to take human lives, including one close to him.
Tim won’t risk his faith. He leaves the Unit and builds a mission in Los Angeles with his new wife. Fate is not finished with him, though. When local gangs threaten to destroy the mission and harm his wife and daughter, Tim must decide between turning the other cheek or being an Avenger for God.
