Against the Twilight

Peter Thompson wants to allow his steps in life to be dictated by the Holy Spirit. This quest causes him to take a less than coveted job as a teacher and basketball coach in the middle of the year on a South Dakota reservation. The warm days of Indian summer turn into the harsh reality of a Dakota winter in more ways than one. When Peter gets politically involved concerning a proposed casino on the reservation, he finds out he&#39;s not as popular with everyone as he is with some of the females, who find him attractive. However, no woman seems to be able to get to first base with the man who&#39;s focused on fulfilling the commission that God gave him to usher in the reign of the Holy Spirit on the reservation. With no allies and plenty of enemies encamped about him, he patiently attempts to turn the hearts of the natives to the Creator using basketball for leverage. Peter, nicknamed Silver Wind by one of his players, also converts enemies to friends as his girls basketball team conquers their foes on the court in their quest to win the state tournament.

Silver Wind

In this sequel to Silver Wind, Peter Thompson takes his basketball team to the state tournament. The Cinderellas from the reservation discover that it's hard to keep the slipper on their foot. Coach Thompson's status as a hero is threatened when he gets involved in rescuing an abducted child, causing one of the native sons to be sent to the state penitentiary. As local and nearby protesters voice their opinion, people of influence in far away cities plot to derail the spiritual pow-wow that Peter has scheduled for the reservation in June. In order to advertise and promote the pow-wow, the coach creates his own blog on the Internet. In doing research on Native American topics, Peter discovers a wealth of information, mostly concerning very discouraging legislative and judicial policies which point to an alarming loss of personal freedoms. After getting bogged down in trying to counter political processes, Peter realizes that fight needs to be left to those commissioned by God for that task, and his focus needs to remain on the spiritual aspect. He throws himself into preparing for a congregating of Native American tribes from all over the US in a move of God that hopefully will ignite a revival throughout the native populations and spill out from the reservations across America, preparing the children of God for the final showdown with God's enemies.

Silver Wind Pow-wow

Almost 80% of Americans claim to be Christians although Jesus indicated that narrow is the way and few are those who find it. Christ also said that in the last days there would be false teachers and people with itching ears, unable to endure sound doctrine. Is it possible that millions of people are trusting their eternal future to misguided preachers, teachers, and mentors who tell them what they want to hear? This book explores that issue with transparency, frankness, boldness, and perhaps a pinch of naïveté. The intent is to uncover absolute truth and encourage people to&nbsp; seek the face of God with all their heart and strength accordingly. This discovery of truth process involves constructive criticism of past and current doctrines and practices in Christianity with no sacred cows being given immunity.
