Danger Road is the incredible true story of three drug dealers who were brutally murdered in 1983 on Danger Road the Florida Everglades. Lured into a phony drug deal each victim hoped would be his big retirement score, they allegedly found themselves at the business end of a gun wielded by a Miami-Dade police officer. But police and prosecutors say Officer Gilbert Fernandez Jr. and his cohorts weren't there to arrest the drug dealers; they were there to kill them and steal their nine kilos of cocaine.

Danger Road details the transformation Fernandez, a former Mr. Florida bodybuilding champion and black-belt karate champion, who became a Christian during the intervening years between the 1983 murders and his subsequent arrest in 1990. This was no courthouse conversion. The man who had once been named "Miami's meanest cop" had been a Christian for years by the time of his trial. He no longer forced African American detainees to eat cigarette butts from the squad-car ashtray at gunpoint, as he did in his days before knowing Christ. And he no longer ran the ring of bodybuilder debt collectors out of the notorious Apollo Gym, which he eventually owned. He lived to convert people at the gym to his faith; and in 1991, he was also on trial for his life.

Does God give second chances? In Danger Road you'll discover why He's called the 'God of the Second Chance.'

2006-01-05 -- Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, heavily sedated and on a respirator, clung to life on Thursday after a severe stroke that is likely to create a huge vacuum in Israeli politics and the Middle East peace process. Surgeons at Jerusalem’s Hadassah hospital said they stemmed the bleeding in the 77-year-old leader’s brain in a seven-hour operation and described his condition as critical but stable.
Hospital director Shlomo Mor-Yosef, in an update to reporters several hours after surgery was completed, said Sharon would be kept in "deep sedation" and on a respirator for at least the next 24 hours to keep cranial pressure low.
Mor-Yosef did not say how much brain damage Sharon may have suffered from a type of stroke that is often fatal. Channel Two television said doctors would try to wake Sharon on Friday morning to assess his condition. more...

Robertson pointed to the book of Joel in the Old Testament to show a biblical perspective of God’s view of Israel and efforts made from people who try to divide God’s land: “In the book of Joel, the prophet Joel makes it very clear that God has ‘enmity against those who divide My land.’ God considers this land to be His. When you read the Bible, He said this is my land. For any Prime Minister of Israel who decides he will carve it up and give it away, God said, “No, this is Mine.” more...
2006-01-06 -- In a world where MTV dictates trends and pop-stars become idols, Christianity seems to be wrapped in conditions and judgments. It is our goal to wrap God’s message – His love – in acceptance, and in a way that blends seamlessly into ‘pop’ culture while still upholding the values we, as Christians, value most. When presented with this gift, wrapped tightly in respect, we hope that today’s youth will open the trendy packaging to release God’s love – and realize in doing so that we are all truly ‘Gifted’.” [source: Gifted Website]
