Super-Powers

Did you know everyone has super-powers?  It’s true.  Take a minute and think about it.  What are the things you can do that nobody else seems to be able to do quite as easily?  For me, I have two super-powers and unfortunately, one anti super-power.  My first super-power is the ability to find empty parking spaces right next to the entrance of anywhere.  This comes in very handy during trips to the airport or during the Christmas shopping season.  My other super-power is when elevators open their doors for me even when I don’t push the button… AND (dun-dun-dun)… there’s nobody inside when it opens.  It’s totally weird and very cool.  Oh, and then there is my anti-super power.  For some unknown reason, I have the amazing and unique ability to sit at any table in a restaurant and inevitably it will be the one that wobbles.

Do you know what your super powers are?

In the first book of the Beniwan series, seven kids go on a wild and crazy adventure; very exciting but very dangerous.  They end up meeting a man whose name is Lyndal.  It turns out he is more than two thousand years old… and he gives them all super-powers.  They can see in the dark, talk without speaking and transport from one place to another.

In my new book, Behind the eyes of Beniwan, some of these same kids discover a new super-power, and it’s greater than anything they could have imagined.  Even Lyndal didn’t know it was possible.  …and it was all because of love.

Love is a very powerful thing.  It’s greater than any other power in the universe.  It’s greater than electricity, or tornadoes, or even the smell of your father’s dirty socks. 

A long time ago, a very wise man said about love, “There is no greater gift than this; that a man lay down his life for a friend.”  That is the ultimate expression of love.  And you know what?  It releases a power beyond our wildest dreams.

Disney figured it out when they made the movie, Frozen.  Remember when Anna saves Elsa’s life? 

It was this very super-power the kids discover in book two.  And they will need it when they are forced to battle dozens of Keeon soldiers and eventually confront the two evil Shallum.

…but now I’ve said too much.  You will have to read the book for yourself to really understand what I’m talking about.  But remember this… ALWAYS use your powers for good.
