As a broken man in a hopeless situation, Arrius oversees the crucifixion of a strange Rabbi and comes to a life-altering crossroad at the foot of his cross.

What will become of Arrius when his savage roots and brutal past catch up with him and threaten to destroy his life once again?

Bye-Bye Monsters!: Facing Your Fear

Everyone—from the youngest child to the oldest adult—experiences fear at one time or another. In fact, most kids face some type of phobia on a regular basis.

However, he learns to overcome them by remembering that he is not alone and that God is bigger than that which scares him.
