The Golden Box

By Cassie A. Hunter Macedo

Unlocking the Past, One Treasure at a Time: Inside The Golden Box by Cassie A. Hunter Macedo

In Cassie A. Hunter Macedo’s nostalgic and heartwarming debut novel, The Golden Box, readers are transported to 1945 Kalamazoo, Michigan—a town where the leaves fall like golden confetti, and childhood is filled with wide-eyed wonder. Against this charming backdrop unfolds the story of five unforgettable kids: Bobby, Jason, Jody, Sarah, and the newest member of their tight-knit group, Adam.

What starts as a simple game—collecting found objects in a cardboard box—soon becomes something far more meaningful. From a pocket watch to a broken necklace, each item they discover seems to whisper of a past life. With each new trinket placed inside what they come to call “The Golden Box,” the kids begin to sense that their treasures may hold secrets—engraved initials, hidden compartments, even pieces of untold history that connect them in ways they never expected.

But this isn’t just a mystery story. It’s a journey through growing up—navigating schoolyard bullies, budding friendships, family complexities, and the quiet strength it takes to be different. Adam’s arrival into the group brings new questions, new dynamics, and a fresh reminder of what it means to belong. Meanwhile, Bobby’s struggle with learning challenges adds a layer of emotional depth that many readers—young and old—will relate to.

"A charming tale of friendship, adventure, and the hidden treasures that shape who we become."

- Greg P.

Macedo’s vivid storytelling style immerses readers in the sights, sounds, and feelings of postwar small-town America. The characters are not just believable—they’re lovable. The kids are clever, loyal, and curious, and the story invites readers to view the world through their hopeful eyes.

The Golden Box is a coming-of-age tale brimming with warmth, mystery, and meaning. Perfect for fans of stories like Bridge to Terabithia, Stand by Me, or The Goonies, this novel celebrates friendship, resilience, and the little discoveries that can change everything. At its core, it’s a reminder that sometimes the real treasures are the people beside us—and the memories we make along the way.

My Three Sons: How God Separated Man, After Man (Through Satan) Separated Himself from God

 

My Three Sons:

How God Separated Man, After Man (Through Satan) Separated Himself from God

Author: Gabriel Obed David

A bold, eye-opening journey from Noah’s sons to mankind’s salvation—discover the truth that unites us all.

What if the divisions we see in the world today—between races, nations, and belief systems—can all be traced back to three men in ancient Scripture? In My Three Sons: How God Separated Man, After Man (Through Satan) Separated Himself from God, Gabriel Obed David unpacks a revelation that’s as provocative as it is powerful: the legacies of Shem, Ham, and Japheth—Noah’s sons—have not only shaped history but continue to define the spiritual destinies of mankind.

Spanning a deeply engaging and well-developed narrative filled with rich theology, biblical history, and prophetic insight, the author delivers a profound message for our fractured world. This isn’t just a story of ancestry or religion—it’s a deeply personal exploration of identity, purpose, and the urgent need for reconciliation with our Creator. With every chapter, My Three Sons uncovers how humanity has drifted from divine truth and how false doctrines, cultural pride, and man-made traditions have veiled the one path that leads us back.

From Eden’s shadow to Calvary’s light, this book traces the soul’s path back to God’s eternal embrace.

—Greg P.

Through gripping commentary and deep scriptural analysis, Gabriel Obed David challenges readers to examine the spiritual inheritance they carry. He paints a sobering picture of a world intoxicated by self-made religions and empty rituals—and then reveals something far more powerful: the unifying truth found only in Jesus Christ.

My Three Sons doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths. It confronts idolatry, disobedience, and spiritual decay with conviction—offering not condemnation, but a call to awakening. This is a passionate plea to break through the noise of division and rediscover that all humanity was meant to be one family, under one God, walking one path.

This is not a light read—but it’s one that may forever change how you see yourself, your faith, and your future. It’s for the truth-seekers, the spiritually hungry, and those who sense that the world’s answers no longer satisfy.

Let the truth of Scripture guide your steps—My Three Sons is more than a book; it’s a wake-up call for the soul.

The Sacred Order :

And The Mystical Legend Of Saint Francis Of Assisi

While in Vatican City, renowned photorealist Anthony Brunelli is summoned from an art reception honoring his latest masterpiece to an unexpected private audience with Pope Benedict XVI. There, he receives a shocking request: uncover an 800-year-old secret left by Saint Francis of Assisi—a revelation with the power to reshape the very foundations of Christianity. Brunelli has always known of his family's ancient duty to protect a sacred truth, but never imagined he would be the one chosen to unveil it—let alone at the Pope's command. Joined by gifted art historian Dr. Vera Valentino, Brunelli follows a trail of hidden clues ingeniously encoded within Renaissance masterpieces. Their investigation uncovers a chilling revelation about Pontius Pilate's secret testament regarding the Virgin Mary—a truth so explosive it threatens to overturn centuries of religious doctrine. As shadowy forces within the Vatican close in, determined to keep these secrets buried, Brunelli must confront his own wavering faith, ensure his safety, and solve the mysterious disappearance of his father—all while racing to unlock a mystery hidden in plain sight for centuries. The Sacred Order is an electrifying journey through Renaissance art, ancient beliefs, and dangerous betrayals—where the line between faith and heresy may be drawn in blood.
