Adventure
Two months after the death of their father, ten year old twins, Timothy and Tabitha are unexplainably sent across the country to live the summer months with grandparents they have never met in the backwoods of Georgia. No amount of pleading on Timmy's part will convince his mother to let them remain home, so he can spend time with his best friend, Eric.
To make matters worse, the twins were picked up at the airport and taken to a remote rundown farmhouse absolutely in the middle of nowhere. Thinking his mother has made a huge mistake, Timothy calls her to negotiate returning to California. Surely when he explains the conditions, she will be sympathetic to their plight. But that wasn't the case, and they found themselves stuck on a farm in a place they never heard of and doubted anyone else had either.
Tabitha, being more diplomatic, took the news in stride. Though she felt empathy for her brother, she accepted their circumstances as an adventure. As Timothy is loathing the idea, she encourages him to give it a chance; after all, there were no options. How bad can it be living in the country for a few weeks?
The twins discovered being on their grandparent's farm wasn't the terrible ordeal Timothy anticpiated and learned to appreciate the country lifestyle. As everyone was dealing with the loss of their father, love was nurtured mending broken hearts as four individuals spent a Summer in the Backwoods.

In Why Prayers Aren't Answered, Understanding Kingdom Principles, there is insight to the most frequently asked question among Christians today. When we pray to our heavenly Father and no answer is forthcoming, what has happened? From our carnal perspective, it appears that God is not responding; however, this is far from the truth. If we understand the precepts, or laws that govern the Kingdom of Heaven, the provisions God has given to each believer for approaching His throne becomes clear. Without following the principles God established, we will certainly be remiss in receiving answered prayers.
The methodology of our prayers may be inadequate to receiving the resolutions we seek. If our attempt to communicate with the Almighty King is through our carnal abilities, it will not be effective.
God does not withhold His greatness from His children. Our heavenly Father knows of our request before we utter the first word in prayer. He desires to give to His children, but we must know how to appropriate our prayers to receive.
This book is intended to enlighten those who seek answers, for there is an answer! God always provides, for He promises it.
