The AO have come out of hiding, and war is upon the Ark Academy. People are going to die, because war isn’t pretty. This time, there will be no reset after dying.

With all of the additional injuries Kaiden suffers in his extra-curricular training, will he succumb to the blue goop pain killer?

He needs a new device to track down and help destroy one of the victims who got away. Will anyone realize that Gin hasn't left Earth? Will Kaiden understand what is different about this test he is undergoing?

Kaiden Jericho's life just went sideways. He has been working odd jobs since the first school year ended. (People have to eat, right?) The problem? He isn't as prepared as he thinks he is.

Issues like abortion, homosexuality, and old-young earth debate often drive wedges between the church and the world. Another polarizing issue is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Evangelical support for Israel among the younger generation is dropping at an alarming rate. Why is there such division between the church and the world and even among believers themselves about this issue?

This book is not merely a listen; it is an act of unlearning—a profound journey back to your essence, a spiritual excavation that uncovers the layers of your identity.
