    About this ebook

    This Is the First Kit and Kat Mystery. "Two of You Will Die Before Your Five Days Are Up." This is the note eight close friends find on the door of the “Castle” as they arrive on Kimberly Cove, affectionately called Paul's Island by the friends. Paul, whose parents own the Island, has invited them for a five day holiday. Of course, no one takes the note seriously — not until one of them is murdered! Will there be a second death? Why would anyone want to kill them? Could the killer possibly be one of the seven who are left, or is there someone else on the Island?
    Kit and Kat are part of this special group. They have just graduated with criminology degrees, and are willing to help the inspector from the Main Island solve the crime. But they are not sure he wants their help. They are praying and hoping that the murderer is not one of them.
    Chuck and Doni have been missionaries since 1981. They live on the Big Island of Hawaii. They have two children, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. They have helped start churches in the Philippines, Hong Kong, South Africa and also Taiwan where Chuck ministers four months each year. Chuck is the Pastor of the Kona Coast Chaplaincy on the Big Island of Hawaii, and he along with Doni are the Directors of Go Spread His Word Ministries, Inc. founded in 1990.

      To my wife, Doni, for her encouraging words that have helped me to venture into fiction. How many times can I say thank you and I love you? Never enough, I'm sure.

      To our four beautiful grandchildren, Rachel Mehana Larson, Erica Noela Smith, Nadia Francisca Antone and Andrew Scott Antone. And also to our great grandson, Elijah Aslan Ikaikaokeakua Smith.

      And of course, to my Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, for giving me the ideas and the gift of story telling. Thanks for coming to this earth to save a wretch like me.

      They have two children, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

      They have helped start churches in the Philippines, Hong Kong, So. Africa and also Taiwan where Chuck ministers four months each year.

      As always, to Doni for doing the first, second, third and many more proofs. And as I've said so many times before, you are amazing, M.B.W.

      And many thanks to Donna Kahi, our dear friend, for her first proof reading.

      To Chris Wright, my editor, for going over the manuscript with a fine tooth comb; sorting out points of view, suggesting better wording and coming up with great ideas. You've made the story better. How fortunate I am that you'll be working on the Kit and Kat Mystery series. I am always amazed at what you come up with....thanks so much.

      Lord, Send Me

      The author’s feelings and emotions while facing a one year prison sentence in a third world country.

      Paperback only

      You’ve Got to be Kidding, Lord. You want me to tell WHO about You?

      Share the Gospel? Does the thought make you want to hide in bed with the blankets over your head? If it does, you’re not alone, but help is at hand. Here is what Chuck Antone, Jr. says in this exciting book written with great humor and much understanding:

      Are you ready to experience sharing Christ with the lost? Does one name keep popping into your mind? Has God been whispering in your ear? If so, be challenged, make that contact and see what God can do.

      Be encouraged by just being available. Just be the instrument, the tool. Let God do the work. He is much better at it than we are, for He has had a lot more experience in bringing someone to His Son, Jesus Christ. After all, He is God, the Mighty One, the Powerful One, the Creator, Our Savior, Our Father, the One and Only God.

      You Can’t Be Serious, Lord. You want me to love WHO?

      This book is written to encourage you to love one another. Not always easy, but it’s a command from our Lord Jesus Christ. Has God ever told you or commanded you to love someone you find hard to love? Have you ever heard yourself say, "You can't be serious, Lord, you want me to love who?" And then when you give in and love that person, he or she can become your very good friend.

      This book will help you to understand God's special love that He has for each of us. By reviewing 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter, and Galatians 5:22-23, the Fruit of the Spirit, we not only see His love, but the love we should have for one another.

      At the end of each chapter you will be challenged to do just that. So have your writing instrument and a notebook ready and be honest with yourself.

      The Centurion and the Crown of Thorns

      A fictional story about the Centurion who, at the foot of the cross, said, Truly this was the Son of God.

      As people leave the scene of the crucifixion, the Centurion, known in this book as Marcus, stays a little longer. While he’s looking up at Jesus who is still nailed to the cross beams, a small earthquake happens. The crown of thorns falls off Jesus’ head and rolls to the feet of Marcus, where it stops.

      As Marcus bends down and touches the crown he senses a strong power coming from it. He immediately feels clean and new, and a great peace comes over him. He doesn’t understand it but he enjoys the feeling.

      He takes the crown home to share his story with his wife, who wants nothing to do with it. After all, she was one of the many who were in the courtyard yelling for Jesus to be crucified. On the other hand, his ten-year-old son is fascinated by what his father tells him, and is intrigued by the crown and wants to learn more.

      Marcus and his son Antony become believers, and Marcus searches out ten Bible prophecies that Jesus has fulfilled. He wants to teach his son many things about their new Messiah.

      The crown not only gives Marcus strength and peace, but it also has healing powers that bring him and his son Antony
