Descrizione
“Destroyer of Dreams! They haunt the sons and daughters of each generation always seeking someone to devour. Their arrival was expected. Alert Commander Crystal and his Radiant Ones! Have his armies position themselves as anticipated and wait for Beloved’s call. You and Jasmine know my heart. Stand guard and remain vigilant,” Papa commanded.
********
After inheriting a large horse ranch, Isabella Janea Randal is not only introduced to the love of her life, but finds herself in the midst of a generational war. Forced to battle the long-range effects of greed, she must decide where her true strength comes from. But Bella is not alone. Heaven comes near as the struggle for souls erupts throughout Spokane County.
“The Power of a Legacy” is a story about family, romance, horse ranching, greed, revenge, spiritual warfare, God’s forgiveness, the power of prayer and personal destiny. And by pulling back the thin, whispery veil separating our world from the spiritual world all around, readers discover the heavenly beings dwelling among us. And by the way, they are unicorns!
“The Power of a Legacy” is Volume III of the faith-building, action-packed series chronicling the adventures of Eli and Jasmine, Servants of the Most High God. On every page, young readers eight years old and up will experience the thrilling, real-to-life adventures of epic struggles between angels and demons, choices and consequences, sin and redemption, and love and forgiveness.
Christian parents will appreciate the redemptive messages woven throughout each adventure, as their children learn to apply biblical truths to every-day moral dilemmas. And by joining the online community of readers on the Divine Commissions blog, children can also share their evangelistic insights with family and friends.

Chapter 1 - Love at First Sight
"Is everything ready?" asked Papa.
Bowing respectfully, Eli and Jasmine replied in unison, Sir, all things are as you have instructed.
"Excellent!" Papa replied.
It was love at first sight! One look into his huge, dark brown eyes, his silky black hair, his long, slender legs, and the beautiful white diamond marking on his forehead and Isabella knew her life would never be the same. His name was Orion and he was a magnificent jet-black, pure breed Arabian stallion. His very name, meaning God-revealed insight,
seemed to imply Orion and Isabella’s relationship was God inspired and truly a match made in heaven. Orion was strong, intelligent, courageous and spirited. So was Isabella Janea Randal.
Isabella grew up in the high mountain country of western Colorado. Her family owned a large home on five acres adorned with crystal clear streams, gently sloping hillsides and fields of wildflowers. The family, of course, shared the land with wildlife as varied and numerous as the evergreen trees were tall. Being raised with such an assortment of animals made it easy to understand how Bella’s love of life developed.
Some of her most cherished memories were of the deer herds which used to graze near the house at all hours of the day and night. Some mornings, Bella would open her bedroom curtains to find a buck with a full antler rack only inches away from her face staring back at her through the window while casually munching on a patch of grass near the driveway. And whether deer or elk, Bella remembered how downtown traffic regularly came to a screeching halt whenever a herd decided to take a leisurely stroll down Main Street. It was hilarious watching the tourists scramble for their cameras eager to capture the image.
Bella remembered the black bears that used to dig into the garbage cans looking for dinner and how she and her brother complained when told to clean up the trash scattered throughout the yard the following morning. She remembered how the foxes were always finding new ways to devour her baby chicks, even after her father reinforced the fencing around the shed. And she especially remembered the time a full grown cougar jumped onto the upstairs patio deck and killed her orange tabby cat. She cried for a whole week until her parents were able to find an acceptable alternate feline companion to replace the one she buried beneath the tree fort.
With each passing year, Isabella’s passion for life grew stronger. Whether a creature had two legs, four legs, feathers or fins, Isabella loved every one. "God made all things great and small, and He loves them all," was one of her favorite songs in Sunday school.
Bella’s parents recognized their daughter’s love for animals and provided many opportunities to develop her interests. When she was very young, Bella enjoyed watching the activities inside her ant farm, playing with an assortment of hamsters and mice, and gazing at the magical world inside a large fish aquarium located in the hallway.
At age six, Bella was allowed to raise her own chickens. From the money she earned selling eggs, she purchased the family’s first lamb a year later. Being home-schooled, Bella’s mother was diligent to educate her daughter on the proper care and nurture of sheep. Bella was then given full responsibility for the well-being of the newest addition to the Randal family.
When Bella was eight, she entered her prized sheep in the Evergreen County Fair and won Second Place for Best Groomed.
She especially remembers that year’s County Fair because it was the same year she won first place in the Mutton Busting
