A Hawaiian caper on the trail of the fabulous historic relic. Marlowe finds murder and intrigue...including a dead Philip Marlowe, found in a lily pond!

A phrase we often use when describing ourselves is “I am.” For many, when we look at ourselves and describe what we see, it is not what God intends. We see ourselves through the lens of the way life has shaped us rather than the vision God has of us. We need the corrective lens of God's word guided by His Holy Spirit to correct our vision.

They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.
