PLEASE NOTE: This is Book 1 in the DNA Trilogy. All of the novels in this series begin with a short section of screenplay format text because they are to be imagined as movie/novels. There are also a few other chapters written in this format in each book but the vast majority is written in standard novel format.
So, when you listen to the prologue, please bear this in mind.

R.E.M. is Book 2 in the DNA Trilogy. Book 1 is titled: Too many Frogs in the Pond.
It is 2074 and the major cities of the world are in isolation after hundreds of nuclear bombs have fallen in between the major cities of the world.
In a post-apocalyptic Sydney, ruled by a dictator and his dangerous side-kick, Zombie-like workers labour beneath the whips of their overseers. A power struggle and a hidden cache of arms leads to violence, crucifixion, murder and, eventually, to the dawning of a new age.

DNA TRILOGY BOOK 3 – THE BOOK OF LEVI
It is 2171, one hundred years later, and the major cities of the world are still in isolation after the large scale warfare of the 21st Century.
A scientist attempts to contact the outside world and seeks an important missing manuscript, while a beautiful and ruthless young woman unwittingly gives an evil recluse a powerful secret. A love triangle is exploited by this unscrupulous man, who steals the secret for himself.
The buzz reverberates across the century onto a time that will ultimately become – The I.Q. Era.
If you have enjoyed the DNA Trilogy, you might enjoy The I.Q. Trilogy that follows.
It is Corporate City, 2290, in a world where citizens can buy and sell their intelligence . . .

The Problem of God is written by a skeptic who became a Christian and then a pastor, all while exploring answers to the most difficult questions raised against Christianity. Mark grew up in an atheistic home, and after his father’s death, began a skeptical search for truth through exploring science, philosophy, and history, asking the big questions of life, and eventually finding answers in Christianity. In a disarming, winsome, and persuasive way, The Problem of God responds to the top ten questions people raise against God, and Christianity, including, among others: ·The Problem of Science ·The Problem of God’s Existence ·The Problem of the Bible ·The Problem of Evil and Suffering ·The Problem of Hell ·The Problem of Sex ·The Problem of Hypocrisy Each chapter answers the specific challenge using a mix of theology, philosophy, and science on the one hand, while also using stories, illustrations, and anecdotes. It’s apologetics for the rest of us, focused on both convincing the skeptic, and informing the Christian.

In a future world where people can buy and sell intelligence, citizens are each allocated 100 1.Q. points at birth. When they turn sixteen they can make a choice either to remain as 100s and be cared for by the state, or they can gamble with their intelligence. Those who succeed become high I.Q.s and enjoy all of the benefits this brings; those who fail lead squalid lives and some eventually become I.Q. 30 glidiots, battling in the Glidiot Games in a pop-up maze where they kill one another for I.Q. points and for public amusement. 100s are not taught to read or write and believe that Corporate City is the last city remaining on Earth after an earlier war. The city is surrounded by The Great Wall, a ten storey construction that encircles the metropolis and separates it from the nuclear Wasteland beyond.
Joseph and his typical 100 family are attending the Glidiot Games, when he recognises the winner of the night. Having been haunted by nightmares involving this man, Joseph abandons his usual 100 caution to find out how their lives are connected. Together, they go beyond the Great Wall.

This is the second book in the I.Q. Trilogy. It occurs 150 years after Book One – Beyond the Great Wall.
It is 2410 and the world cities have reunited. Democracy has returned to Sydney, but thanks to the genius of his serum, so too has the tyrant. Democracy gives way to dictatorship as, step by step he reclaims his throne, and ruthlessly brings about a return to the I.Q. system. Only one small band of people stands in his way. This gruesome tale, where Sweeny Todd meets Alfred Hitchcock, ends with a twist of Greek Tragedy.

It is 2415 and Corporate City is in the vice-like grip of its dictator. Social division based on I.Q. is marked by coloured overalls. A new Great Wall is under construction to keep lower I.Qs isolated from the world. But a major problem arises for the tyrant who must seek an answer in London. Treachery abounds and plans for world domination are afoot and a nasty surprise is in store for delegates of world cities invited to a meeting in the Great Southern Land.
This final story tells of a battle for control of the city and for its place in the wider world. Good versus Evil comes to crescendo with satellites and mass destruction as a dictator seeks world domination, opposed only by a small group of scientists.

The modern world portrays Jesus in many ways for many reasons. Some are well-intentioned but misguided, others are aberrations, still others have some but not all the essential keys. In order to see and understand the real Jesus and what the Gospels say about him, we have to see him in his first-century context–and work out from there.

Here is a portrait of Jesus that in some ways will affirm what traditional Christianity has always understood about him…and, in other ways, upend it altogether.

Award-winning author Mark Clark delves into the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth: his parables and miracles, his controversial challenge of discipleship and obedience, his seemingly insane claim to be God, and what his death and resurrection (if they did happen) actually mean.

Mark is unafraid to tackle questions such as:

• What would first-century Jews have immediately recognized about Jesus that modern Christians often miss?
• What do the Gospels accomplish, and can we trust them?
• Is there a problem with science and Jesus’ miracles?
• What are the barriers stopping people from following him?
• And what is Christianity in light of an accurate portrayal of the object of its faith?

The Problem of Jesus engages with ideas from all realms of study: from Malcolm Gladwell and Jordan Peterson to historians, scientists, and philosophers; from N.T. Wright to C.S. Lewis; from Star Wars to Pretty Woman–all unite to form a breathtaking and accurate portrait of Jesus, the man, the message, and the mission, who forever altered the course of human history.

“As a former atheist, I would call this book philosophical dynamite…The Problem of Jesus will take your thinking about Jesus–and your relationship with him–to whole new levels.” –Pastor and author, Ray Johnston.

Jesus has never been more popular. Some love him, applauding him as a good teacher, a political revolutionary, or a prophetic voice speaking out against the rich and powerful. Others find him bigoted, old-fashioned, and narrow minded, even as they are forced to admit that his words and teachings are utterly unique. His presence infuses our political discussions and our dinner table debates, making him impossible to ignore.

Yet sadly, in many churches today, the Jesus we meet is nothing more than a kindly man with children on his lap and a smile on his face. He is presented as a good person, a positive influence–a mixture of Mr. Rogers and Tony Robbins. The Jesus of American Christianity is meek, gentle, safe, and fun, always ready to be your best friend.

When we dig more deeply into the Bible, we discover a very different picture. Wherever Jesus went in his life, from the day he was born until the day he died, scandal and controversy followed him. Be warned. If you investigate Jesus beyond the superficial glance most give him today you will be challenged and confronted. Jesus creates in each person who encounters him a crisis of faith, forcing us to a point of decision.

In The Problem of Jesus: Audio Lectures, author and pastor Mark Clark looks beyond the superficial understandings of Jesus to examine his hard-hitting claims and teachings, including:

• The reliable evidence that Jesus was a real, historical figure
• The oft-unexamined cost of following Jesus
• His claim to be God, the Creator of all, worthy of worship
• His teachings and stories, which have always offended religious people
• His miracles and actions, what they meant in the ancient world–and today
• The claims of Jesus to be the only, exclusive path to God

The Problem of Jesus: Audio Lectures confronts you with the real Jesus of history, asking you to wrestle with the teachings, claims, and actions of the man who has forever altered the course of human history. Every person must make their own decision about Jesus, choosing how they will live in light of the answers they discover about this amazing man.
