This book is not about religion, and David Young is not a Christian. This story is the result of three years of channeled messages from Jesus and Mary Magdalena that came to Young through incredible synchronicities, his artwork, and inner dialogues, which ultimately guided him toward discovering the hidden truth behind history's greatest deception.
Jesus and Mary Magdalena's incredible journey of love, family, and survival is uncovered in this presentation of inspiration and channeled messages. This unconventional book will also soothe and inspire you with David Young's heavenly music to accompany this breathtaking, mind-expanding story of true historical events.
The Stasi and MI6 clash in this gripping Cold War crime thriller, from the award-winning author of Stasi Child - now available to pre-order in paperback and eBook.
Dresden, East Germany, 1980 - A man's body is found buried in concrete at a building site in the new town district. When People's Police homicide captain Karin Müller arrives at the scene, she discovers that all of the body's identifiable features have been removed - including its fingertips.
The deeper Müller digs, the more the Stasi begin to hamper her investigations. She soon realises that this crime is just one part of a clandestine battle between two secret services - the Stasi of East Germany and Britain's MI6 - to control the truth behind one of the deadliest events of World War II.
The Stasi Game brilliantly fictionalises the true story of how Britain's wartime leaders justifed the fire-bombing of German city of Dresden, which many have since condemned as a war crime.
A gripping and evocative crime thriller, moving between the devastating closing weeks of the Second World War and communist East Germany in 1977. The first book in the series, Stasi Child, won the CWA Historical Dagger in 2016.
Karin Müller of the German Democratic Republic's People's Police is called to a factory in the east of the country. A man has been murdered - bound and trapped as a fire burned nearby, slowly suffocating him. Could his murderer simply be someone with a grudge against the factory's nationalisation, as Müller's Stasi colleagues insist? Why too is her deputy Werner Tilsner behaving so strangely? As more victims surface, it becomes clear that there is a cold-blooded killer out there taking their revenge. Soon Müller begins to realise that in order to solve these terrible crimes, she will need to delve into the region's dark past. For those who really run this Republic have secrets they would rather remain uncovered. And they will stop at nothing to keep them that way.
"Extremely engaging." SUNDAY EXPRESS, on Stasi Child
A fresh, funny and deeply moving novel set in the gritty world of mixed martial arts, with an unlikely main character and a story that will stay with you long after you finish listening to it. Perfect for fans of John Green and anyone who enjoys stories that are heartfelt and humorous.
When a car wreck leaves sixteen-year-old Dylan with one leg, suddenly everyone in his life treats him differently. His girlfriend dumps him, his parents want to wrap him in cotton wool and the jocks at his new school see him as an easy target.
As he struggles to come to terms with what’s happened, curiosity (and a humiliating schoolyard fight) lead him through the doors of a local MMA gym where he runs into Santana, a tough, Latina fighter with her own unique set of challenges.
With Santana as a reluctant mentor, Dylan begins training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a full contact martial art that makes learning to walk again seem easy by comparison. With his body bruised and his ego dented, Dylan finds himself pushed to the edge, not just physically, but also emotionally.
Can Dylan stay the course and find the courage and determination to change not just how the world sees him, but how he sees himself?

Karin Müller, side-lined from the murder squad in Berlin, jumps at the chance to be sent south to Halle-Neustadt, where a pair of infant twins have gone missing. But Müller soon finds her problems have followed her to Halle-Neustadt. She and her team are forbidden by the Stasi from publicising the disappearances, lest they tarnish the town's image. Meanwhile, in the eerily nameless streets and tower blocks, a child snatcher lurks and the clock is ticking to rescue the twins alive...
A gripping and intelligent thriller set in East Germany, during the worst winter in one-hundred years.
In 1978 East Germany, nothing is at it seems. The state's power is absolute, history is re-written, and the 'truth' is whatever the Stasi say it is. So when a woman's murder is officially labelled 'accidental death', Major Karin Müller of the People's Police is faced with a dilemma. To solve the crime, she must disregard the official version of events. But defying the Stasi means putting her own life - and the lives of her young family - in danger. As the worst winter in living memory holds Germany in its freeze, Müller must untangle a web of state secrets and make a choice: between truth and lies, justice and injustice, and, ultimately, life and death.

In 2010, beyond any apparent reason, George Harrison began literally appearing in David’s life. At first, these unusual experiences occurred about every two months, even though David knew little of channeling experiences, was far from being a Beatles fan, and was actually quite afraid of ghosts. In 2013, the world renowned medium Robert Murray contacted David on behalf of George and John so they could give David detailed directions of why they chose him and what this was all about, all chronicled in this compelling audio book that has David's Grammy Nominated spiritual flute music underneath the narration.

What does it mean to be a disciple? The call of discipleship is more than programs and Bible study. In King Jesus and the Beauty of Obedience-Based Discipleship, David Young presents a bold call for obedience-based discipleship and argues that it alone is the proper response to the kingship of Jesus. Many have wrongly associated obedience with bad theology, believing that Jesus' demand for obedience is a form of works righteousness or legalism. Others simply don't like obedience and resist the demands Jesus makes in calling us to follow him.
But if we surrender to the kingship of Jesus, we will find the life we were designed to live. We are accustomed to calling Jesus 'Savior.' And we should. But until recently, many in the Western church have not learned to call Jesus 'King.'
The kingship of Jesus has implications for how we live. We can either rebel against him, raising puppet kings and constructing our own kingdoms, or we can submit to him in obedience-based discipleship. Could it be that you are still sitting on the throne of your life, treating King Jesus as a mere advisor? What would change in your life if you started treating Jesus as nothing short of your King?
Young unpacks five principles for those who wish to follow Jesus as King.
- Surrender to the authority of King Jesus
- Embrace the mission of King Jesus
- Live immersed in King Jesus
- Obey the teachings of King Jesus
- Behold the presence of King Jesus
Following these five steps awakens us to a life truly worth living, a life of power, peace, beauty, and love. This is eternal life, that we would know and follow Jesus as King of the Universe, and king over our lives. After all, you don't merely believe in kings. You obey them.
1942. Hull, East Yorkshire, is the most heavily-bombed city outside of London - but for the sake of national morale the Hull Blitz is kept top secret. Only the politicians in Whitehall and Hull's citizens know of the true chaos.
Newly-posted Inspector Ambrose Swift can't believe the devastation. But for Swift and his deputies - Jim 'Little' Weighton and Kathleen Carver - it's murder, not war, that's at the forefront of their minds.
When a series of killings is blamed on locally-stationed black American GIs, Swift soon discovers that the fetid stench of racism, corruption and perversion goes to the very top. And for Swift, Weighton and Carver, finding the real killers means putting their own lives at risk. Powerful forces in the US and Britain cannot let the war effort be undermined - not even by the truth.
