But he would and in fact does argue that every one of us could. New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley delivers two speculative tales, in one volume, of everyday people exposed to life-altering truths.

The Gift of Fire In ancient mythology, the Titan Prometheus was punished by the gods for bringing man the gift of fire—an event that set humankind on its course of knowledge.

As punishment for making man as powerful as gods, Prometheus was bound to a rock; every day his immortal body was devoured by a giant eagle. But in The Gift of Fire, those chains cease to be, and the great champion of man walks from that immortal prison into present-day South Central Los Angeles. On the Head of a Pin Joshua Winterland and Ana Fried are working at Jennings-Tremont Enterprises when they make the most important discovery in the history of this world—or possibly the next.

JTE is developing advanced animatronics editing techniques to create high-end movies indistinguishable from live-action. Long dead stars can now share the screen with today's A-list. But one night Joshua and Ana discover something lingering in the rendered footage Verity Ames and Jonas Quarrel are hired to find a lost medieval treasure, but in a world of hidden passageways they find their own mysterious love.

Is Jwala Kumar a bird? A bat? A chameleon? Or is he something no one has ever seen before? And did he really just fall out of the sky into Champakbagh? Mohan Chandar lives with his wife and three children in the tiny and remote village of Champakbagh. One day, he rescues a strange creature from the storm that is raging outside. When he brings the creature home, the family is astonished. What sort of animal is this? Is he friendly? What does he eat? Where will he sleep?

They name him Jwala Kumar, and as the days go by, they discover that Jwala Kumar is no ordinary animal. He has special powers that he uses to help his human family in their times of need. When the days are dark and hope seems to dim, Jwala Kumar lights up their lives in many ways.

But who is Jwala Kumar and will he stay forever? Jwala Kumar and the Gift of Fire is a captivating story of innocence and friendship, of magic and love, and of gifts that last a lifetime. A University of Washington professor of wildlife science taps the findings of his extraordinary research into crow intelligence to offer insight into their ability to make tools and respond to environmental challenges, explaining how they engage in human-like behaviors from giving gifts and seeking revenge to playing and experiencing dreams.

Where there is no repentance there is always a stagnation of heart and mind! Just as the Apostle John, while on the Isle of Patmos, had to turn from his current focus to gain a higher perspective, so it is true with us. No person may take a step toward a Kingdom perspective without first repenting of one's current stand. Therefore, it is equally true that a progressive walk into the ways of the Kingdom requires an enduring attitude of change. This book was inspired and written to help cultivate this prerequisite attitude.

As with any cultivation, the hard unyielding soil must be broken up. Consequently, the reader needs to be prepared to have their thinking challenged in tangible yet constructive ways. A few may find it disquieting to have their religious reference points called into question. For some it may be the first time they have ever tested or questioned the validity of their understanding. As you turn through the pages of this book, you may find that another turning is simultaneously taking place in your heart.

Amazingly, some readers may even discover a change of heart happening against the approval of their own inflexible mind. In ancient mythology, the Titan Prometheus was punished by the gods for bringing man the gift of fire—an event that set humankind on its course of knowledge.

But in Walter Mosley's The Gift of Fire, those chains cease to be, and the great champion of man walks from that immortal prison into present-day South Central Los Angeles.
