The Giant Sparrows

Self-published author Justin Druiff writes about the reality on animal cruelty through a fictional-point-of-view in his book The Giant Sparrows. His book details the adventures of Johnny, an animal protector, and his wife, Jordin. The giant sparrows are creatures who have evolved from the bones of a pterodactyl dinosaur.  To the locals and to the government, they are a threat to society and are hunted carelessly. But these creatures are more than meets the eye– they are after all gentle and harmless.

The story unfolds on the lives of these mythical creatures and how Johnny and his wife struggle to help them survive. It’s an interesting story that people should read.

understanding the Bible

Many wonder how an ordinary person gets to understand the message the Bible teaches. Some people even think that only church leaders and those who went to Bible schools have the authority to interpret Bible teachings.

But the written word of God is intended for His people.

Book author G.A. Caputo facilitates understanding of the deeper meanings of Bible teachings in ‘A Guide to the Understanding of the Bible and the Christian Life’.

Through his published book, Caputo also intends to unify Christian believers by emphasizing the use of only the basic fundamental Biblical teachings and principles without the interpretations made by man to justify selfish and personal agenda.

One needs to read the Bible and understand its contexts to know what it says.

Caputo’s book is published by Xlibris.
