The Elyon

This flowed from El Elyon (God Most High), through the archangel Uriel, into the angel Uriyah (Mael), and was delivered to a hermit mystic. The teaching combines elements from many monotheistic, panentheistic, mystical, and gnostic religions, and boils them down into fundamental concepts. Revealed the One God of Old, yet without the historical, geographic, or ethnic/racial baggage. It's a revelation for all peoples. A revealing from the West for every nation, tribe, and people. Retaining the same general values, without the draconian tribal and cultural filters of the ancient Middle East. Yet, this teaching will tickle no ears, is not a New Age path, and is likely to anger every political, social, and religious faction. More than a religion, it is a way of life, a worldview, and a vision for the future of the world, both mystical and pragmatic.

The second dazzling installment in Patrick Carman's masterful Land of Elyon trilogy!Alexa thought her troubles were over when she defeated the man who had threatened to bring down Bridewell from within. But now that the walls around her land have fallen, a new, unexpected threat has risen from outside. Suddenly, Alexa is involved in a battle much, much larger than her own life . . . a battle in which she is destined to play a key role. In order to help good defeat evil, Alexa and her friends must venture farther than they've ever gone before -- confronting giants, bats, ravenous dogs, and a particularly ghoulish mastermind in order to bring back peace.

An extraordinary debut weaving magic and heroism into a classic tale of good and evil, featuring a heroine you'll never forget.Inquisitive twelve-year-old Alexa Daley is spending another summer in the walled town of Bridewell. This year, she is set on solving the mystery of what lies beyond the walls. Legend says the walls were built to keep out an unnamed evil that lurks in the forests and The Dark Hills. But what exactly is it that the townspeople are so afraid of? As Alexa begins to unravel the truth, pushing beyond the protective barrier she's lived behind all her life, she discovers a strange and ancient enchantment -- and exposes a danger that could destroy everything she holds dear.

Captain Roland Warvold tells Alexa and Yipes about the adventures he shared with his brother Thomas in Elyon, before the wall went up and divided the world in two.

Twelve-year-old Alexa and her companions unwittingly lead Abaddon, now in the form of an enormous, horrible sea monster, to the secret community known as the Five Stone Pillars when they go to bring the people living there home.

The Land of Elyon has begun to fail, poisoned by the evil that creeps across the Dark Hills and into Bridewell. As she moves toward a thrilling conclusion, Alexa must find a way to overcome the Lonely Sea, rescue Yipes from the clutches of Victor Grindall, and unlock the mystery of the Tenth City. But can she find the answers she needs in time to save the Land of Elyon?
