DND #4 Weeds Grow - In Jesus' Name

Martial arts superstar, Ricky Kino, is unhappy with his "playboy" style of life. He makes three decisions: Get back to God, get back to his foundations, and to go after what (and whom) he really wants. Coincidentally, the moment he gets home, strange things begin to happen, things that begin to tear the Kino family apart. But God's timing is perfect.

A phantom from the past asserts himself into the Kino family, intent on destruction. Seeds are planted and weeds grow rampant, trying to break apart and destroy the firm Kino foundation. Ricky must step in and take control in order to save his family and protect those he loves most in the world.

Welcome back to the Kino family. This one is a fun and wild ride that will motivate and inspire everyone. Discover how facing trials and tribulations can either destroy us, or make us powerful. How we choose to handle what God presents us with will determine the outcome. We can be God's warriors. God is with us.

"Weeds Grow rocks. First, I love the way Eric's and Shelley's story continues to grow. Ricky is definitely all grown up and more devastating than ever. So many twists and turns all over the place I feel as if I'm in a high speed car chase. Loved this one!"
~Eryn Clements~

"After finishing the fourth McCartney Green novel, I still can't get enough. The characters have touched my heart. I feel as if I have lived the events right along with them. Everything is so real. McCartney, you are amazing!"

Sometimes the weeds begin to grow because we forget to put on the full armor of God.

The Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Gospel of Peace, the Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation, the Sword of the Spirit/Word, and Prayer. Ephesians 6:1018.

In this story we focus on the Breastplate of Righteousness. The breastplate was the piece of armor that gave protection to the vital organs, most importantly, the heart. When a soldier wasn't quick enough to take up his shield against the unexpected advances of the enemy, the breastplate was there to protect. But what if the breastplate had cracks? Then the weeds, (the enemy,) will find a way to get through. When we knowingly make a decision to be unrighteous, to turn our backs on the laws of God, we put cracks in the breastplate.

The laws and commandments of God are not given to us to make life hard, any more than telling our children to not play in the street is to make things difficult. We tell our children that because we love them and want to keep them safe. God's laws are given to us for the same reason. (Though this is a simplistic illustration.) When we know right from wrong and willfully choose wrong, then there will be a battle coming on. There are consequences to every choice.

'Weeds Grow-In Jesus' Name' touches on many evil things that people face in this earthly life, such as revenge, sexual promiscuity, rape, torture, murder and death. As horrible as these things sound, the Bible addresses all of them and we find that we can and WILL overcome them all. This book also addresses honesty, the importance of family, loyalty, prayer, courage, strength, faith, and love. The Bible too addresses these beautiful things and tells us how to obtain them all.

If we must be likened to weeds in any way, then let us take on their good qualities. Let our love grow like a weed. Let our faith be strong against barren ground, like a weed. And let our fruit multiply like a weed, for, Dandelions Never Die!
