God created all things, He sustains all things, but He lacks one thing - He’s seeking “True Worshippers” who will worship Him in Spirit and Truth. This is an urgent search because John 4:23 says “the hour has come, and now is the time” for these true worshippers to come forward and make themselves known. This battle with sin all started over worship and we are urged to make the right choice in terms of who we worship. There’s a loud and urgent message emphasised in Revelation 14:6 letting us know that the “hour has come” for us to worship the Creator. The book, “From Spectator to True Worshipper” addresses one of the key issues in our relationship with Christ and explores Biblical concepts and principles around worship that can be incorporated into personal and congregational worship settings. God has given us a glimpse of eternity through the act of worship, and there is an acceptable form that is pleasing to Him.

After 20 years living Off-world. Cleo Selwyn has returned to Los Angeles in search for her surrogate Replicant mother Isobel, whom Cleo believes has been abducted on the orders of Niander Wallace. Believing that Cleo’s DNA holds the secret of Replicant fertility, Wallace has ordered his own personal Replicant assistant, Luv, the first Replicant Blade Runner, to hunt her down with approval to kill any who stand in her way. Now reunited with her one-time protector and former Blade Runner Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina, Cleo and Ash set off on a desperate race to find her mother and escape back Off-world before Luv can find them. “As a Blade Runner series this looks to be one of the best yet.

Replicants are bioengineered humans, once designed by the Tyrell Corporation for use Off-world. After a series of violent rebellions, their manufacture was prohibited, and Tyrell Corp went bankrupt. Niander Wallace acquired the remains of Tyrell Corp and created a new line of Replicants who obey. A Replicant underground survives, led by the former combat model Freysa and her human partner Aahna Ashina, known as Ash, formerly a Blade Runner. Twenty years ago, in 2019, Ash spared the Replicant Isobel Selwyn, a replica of industrialist Alexander Selwyn’s wife. Together with Alexander’s human daughter Cleo, Isobel escaped to the Off-world colonies. Searching for the late Alexander Selwyn’s research into Replicant physiology, Niander Wallace sent his creation Luv, the first Replicant Blade Runner, to hunt down both Cleo and Isobel, believing that Isobel holds the secret to Replicant fertility. To aid Luv in her mission, Wallace manufactured a new Replicant created from Ash’s DNA. While Cleo recovered from a serious gunshot wound, Ash and Mack, and old Replicant who saved Cleo’s life, set out to search Alexander Selwyn’s old family estate for Isobel. However, waiting for them was Luv and the Replicant Ash. A furious gun battle erupted and Mack was killed, with Ash captured. Only the timely intervention of Isobel saved her life, allowing them to escape. Together, they headed back to Freysa where Isobel and Cleo were finally reunited…

Early in the 21st Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase – a being virtually identical to a human – known as a Replicant. Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor. Those who escaped to Earth were hunted by Blade Runner units ordered to kill any trespassing Replicant upon detection. In 2022, a Replicant attack on the Tyrell Corporation forced the company into bankruptcy and erased all records of existing Replicants. The surviving Nexus 8 models disappeared with the help of the Replicant underground. Many Replicants remained in servitude. In 2027, Aahn “Ash” Ashina rejoined the Blade Runner division to hunt down fugitive Replicants. Her superiors are unaware that her loyalties are divided. Her lover, Freysa, is a leader in the Replicant Underground. While investigating a report of a rogue Replicant, Ash discovered that a Nexus 6 Replicant, Yotun, whom she had failed to retire 12 years previously, had somehow outlived his expiration date and had become the leader of a Replicant guerrilla army. Yotun had Ash abducted before launching an all-out terrorist attack upon Los Angeles. His Replicant army destroyed the newly constructed seawall, killing the city’s political and corporate elite, and inciting all Replicants in the city to revolt against their masters, before taking over the LAPD Tower. Rescued from Yotun’s clutches by members of Freysa’s Underground, Ash raced back to the city to rescue her lover, whom Yotun mistakenly believed had joined his cause. Instead, she sabotaged his broadcast to the city from the LAPD Tower, and in retaliation he blinded her in one eye and left her to die in the burning building. Faced with killing Yotun or rescuing Freysa, Ash chose her wounded lover and the two of them were air-lifted from the rooftop by the Underground…

While investigating a report of a rogue Replicant at the Los Angeles seawall construction site, Ash discovered that a Nexus 6 Replicant, Yotun, whom she had failed to retire 12 years previously, had somehow outlived his expiration date and had become the leader of a Replicant guerrilla army. Learning of her investigation, Yotun had Ash abducted before launching an all-out attack upon Los Angeles, destroying the newly constructed seawall, and killing dozens of the city’s political and corporate elite. Yotun subjected Ash to a drug-induced brainwashing process before submersing her in one of his Replicant rejuvenation tanks. Members of the Replicant underground launched an attack on a power station to win the trust of Yotun and gave him Freysa as a ‘good-will’ gesture. While Yotun took Freysa with him on a mission he called, “the most important one,” the others, now inside Yotun’s underground lair, set out to locate and rescue Ash. Reviving her from the tank, Ash was shocked to discover that her crippling back disability had somehow been cured…

For two years, he enjoyed his newfound freedom, first searching for then rebuilding an aging North Sea tuna trawler into his own personal yacht. Johnson spent his lazy days of freedom as the skipper of his own boat, the Crawdad. During this reprieve from the corporate rat race, he met many interesting characters but none so interesting—or deadly—as the men who stole onto the Crawdad in the middle of the night in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Returning to the States after a sojourn in Ensenada, Mexico, Johnson encountered a burning boat. Searching for survivors, he discovered his own freedom was at stake when one of them snuck aboard the Crawdad and, with his .38 pointed at Johnson’s head, ordered him to turn around and look for his cohorts in a drug deal gone awry. For nearly a week, Johnson hovered between threats of death and the need for him to help the hijackers return to California with their junk in tow. During this time, he got to know each of the hijackers on a near-intimate basis. Each was searching for his own truth. Johnson had to use his wits to ensure he survived this dangerous adventure. In Tale of The Crawdad, Johnson shares his story, discovering his own truth about survival and freedom.
