Shy Walsh might be the greatest female fighter of her time, but a loss in a Vegas title fight, and the sneaking suspicion that she wanted to lose, sends her reeling back to her Central Florida home and her dying mother. She needs some perspective, she needs to pull herself together. But one day she meets Thomas Clayton, a doctor recently released from prison, and everything changes. They fall in love, maybe, but Tommy has his own demons, and what begins as an attempt to build a life together quickly devolves into a criminal enterprise that spans the state. Helpless in the face of addiction and guilt, and, most especially, the peculiar brokenness of being American in the 21st Century, Shy and Tommy descend into a nightmare existence of crime and isolation.Hurricane Season is a noir thriller about fighting and addiction, prison and drugs; but more than that, it is a love story set in the carnage of an America wrecked by inequality.Early Praise"Brutal and poetic, Mark Powell's story will retune your heart strings, you'll begin with a triple-espresso and end with triple-shots of Kentucky bourbon and no chaser, it's a smooth burn." -Frank Bill, author of Back to the Dirt"In Hurricane Season Mark Powell writes about the places where America happens - its hospitals, prisons, fighting gyms, and roadside motels. This is an indispensable work of fiction about the contemporary South in all its tragic complexities. A book brimming with heart, as propulsive as it is wise." -Caleb Johnson, author of Treeborne

Disney is a force of formative power in contemporary pop culture, which underscores the worth of engaging it apologetically. Walt Disney became a pioneer in twentieth-century musical animation and animated features, and an exemplar for using a nonsectarian canon of narratives in order to argue, subtly, for an objective moral truth and goodness that will overcome all evil, and the beauty of a kingdom inhabited by virtuous characters. Pop-culture narratives (like Disney films) possess a power to make abstract ideas more accessible. We do not so easily feel propositions, and so we do not necessarily feel the force of an abstract argument. A good story, on the other hand, like good music (and Disney gives us both), has more direct power to move us. This duology-two works in one-considers how Disney stories are enfolded by Christian moral theology. The first book explores how Disney can serve as an effective aid in cultural apologetics and moral dialogue. The second work, an edited volume featuring a number of scholars from differing backgrounds, investigates the power of imaginative storytelling, explores Disney's live-action animation and musical allure through the lens of aesthetics apologetics, and approaches a number of popular Disney narratives in order to draw out the moral and theological significance of these beloved Disney tales. "Enter into a serious examination of the whimsical worlds created by the kingdom of Disney through the eyes of those inhabiting a Kingdom centered in another world-the Kingdom of Christ. You will discover why Disney's moral logic of good and evil, darkness and light, move us toward affirming goodness and justice."-Annalee Ward, Director of the Wendt Center for Character Education and author of Mouse Morality: the Rhetoric of Disney Animated Films Disney as Doorway to Apologetic Dialogue is "a valuable resource to show how Disney films provide not only illuminating insights and inspiration for our children and our congregations; they also serve as bridges for the gospel in a world of people longing to find their true identity and true home and to see fulfilled their deepest desires to 'live happily ever after.'"-Paul Copan, Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University (Florida), and author of The Gospel in the Marketplace of Ideas and Is God a Vindictive Bully? Disney & the Moral Imagination "strikes just the right balance between academic and popular, scholarly and accessible.... It has much of value to say on the nature and power of music, virtue, beauty, imagination, and hope. "-Louis Markos, Professor in English and Scholar in Residence, Houston Christian University; author of On the Shoulders of Hobbits and The Myth Made Fact

Un vieux journal de la Seconde Guerre mondiale rempli d'indices cryptés catapulte deux amis dans une véritable aventure à travers le monde. Mais leur chemin semé d'embuches n'est pas sans dangers ni tromperies, et le trésor qu'ils convoitent peut faire pencher la balance du côté du bien... ou du mal.Le père Michael Dominic et son amie journaliste, Hana Sinclair, se lancent sur les traces d'une piste des plus alléchantes un journal nazi révélant l'emplacement d'une relique sacrée. Les deux compagnons pensent que ce carnet pourrait les conduire à une étoffe que le Christ lui-même aurait utilisée pour s'essuyer la figure; étoffe qui, à en croire la légende, porterait désormais la marque de son visage, preuve indéniable de l'apparence véritable du fils de Dieu.Le journal les propulse dans une aventure tourbillonnante entre Jérusalem, Rome et Buenos Aires. Mais tandis qu'ils s'efforcent de démêler ce vieux mystère, ils se heurtent à une secte aux desseins malsains, bien décidée à utiliser le voile de Madeleine pour servir ses propres intérêts. Michael et Hana se montreront-ils plus malins que leurs impitoyables adversaires et réussiront-ils à ramener l'artefact au sein de l'Église, ou bien la resurgence des ambitions aryennes détruira-t-elle la relique du Christ depuis longtemps disparue ?Si vous aimez les romans trépidants ancrés dans l'histoire, plongez dans ce thriller palpitant débordant d'action ! Les lecteurs de McAvoy affirment que son souci du détail rendent l'histoire parfaitement plausible, brouillant ainsi la frontière entre la réalité et la fiction .

What are the Ashes Crying For?In Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek, Babi Yar, Ukraine, and in many more locations, the blood of the Jewish people was either spilled or became ashes. This blood and these ashes went into the ground wherever they fell. But the soil never remains in one place; it migrates with the winds, rain, geological activity, and the passing of the years. These ashes, now mingled with the soil, have been scattered all over the world, bringing the essence of their poignant cry into your world, church, community, city, and nation. About what did the blood of Abel cry out to the creator? About what are the blood and ashes of the Jews exterminated during the Shoah (Nazi Holocaust), Russian pogroms, the Spanish Inquisition, Christian crusades, Islamic terror, and much more crying to the God of the universe? And why should it matter to you, the reader? This is what you will find out in the pages of this book.

Historically, the term "catechism" did not refer to a particular type of book but to a collection of traditional formulations of the basic teachings of the Christian faith. At the time of the Reformation, Martin Luther's concern for the spiritual wellbeing of the laity prompted him to reorganize that material with a new sequence: first the law as summarized by the Ten Commandments, then the gospel as summarized by the Apostles' Creed, and finally discipleship as summarized by the Lord's Prayer and the biblical passages pertaining to Holy Baptism, confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. His accompanying explanations constitute the Small and Large Catechisms, presenting each part "as the housefather should teach it in a simple way to his household." This resource facilitates such usage by arranging Luther's texts in parallel as a six-month daily devotional, with each pair of readings accompanied by a few questions for reflection and a brief prayer.

Beckstrand offers insights to bolster confidence in God's love for each person and His designs for differences. "Definitive...honest reflection.... Readers will be gratified by its conclusions and novel assertions...particularly relating to meaningful relationships...which lends it distinction and is refreshing to read." - The BookLife Prize (Publisher's Weekly) God doesn't simply tolerate "queerness," it is-expressed attentively-part of His plan for our joy.

She's new to this princess gig... Learning to run a kingdom wasn't part of Susan Cole's-now Susan Fulquir's-career plan. Muddling through foreign languages, frustrating her tutors, and squaring off against tightly laced dresses would be complicated enough without throwing in the slight issue of Susan's frosty relationship with her mother. Not only has Susan exposed Erianthe's lies, but she's also supplanted her favored half brother in the line to the throne of Daril. Susan's greatest ally is a surprise: Terj, who, though having regained his freedom, remains close to her. While she wants him to be happy, she dreads the day he finally takes his leave, as her feelings toward the elemental have shifted far from mere camaraderie. But Susan's existence has political ramifications beyond Daril. When Erianthe signed her own marriage treaty, it was expected that one of her Cirivanti husband's children would rule after her. Now unable to uphold the terms, and desperate to keep Cirivant happy, Erianthe proposes another marriage-Susan's. If Susan refuses...well, Erianthe has other options. And when it comes to the child the queen has twice failed to kill, nothing is off the table.

Jesucristo, al final de Su ministerio terrenal, reunió a sus discípulos y les dio Su mandato final para sus vidas y ministerios. Mateo 28:18-20 registra a Jesús diciendo: "Por tanto, id, y haced discípulos a todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo; enseñándoles que guarden todas las cosas que os he mandado; y he aquí yo estoy con vosotros todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo. Amén." Jesús tenía un propósito y un plan específico para Sus discípulos en Su ausencia. Debían representarlo ante el mundo que los rodeaba enseñando a las naciones Su Evangelio de salvación, bautizando a los que creían como testimonio público de su fe y luego enseñando a los creyentes a observar o poner en práctica, Sus enseñanzas (Marcos 16:15-16).En tiempos bíblicos, el título discípulo se le daba a los alumnos de un maestro religioso. Se esperaba que tales estudiantes no simplemente aprendieran la información que les proporcionó su maestro, sino que también guardaran o aplicaran diligentemente sus enseñanzas a su vida diaria para que comenzaran a vivir como Él (Mateo 28:20). Es por eso que el apóstol Juan registró a Jesús diciendo "a los judíos que habían creído en él: Si vosotros permaneciereis en mi palabra, seréis verdaderamente mis discípulos" (Juan 8:31). Luego añadió "En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tuviereis amor los unos con los otros" (Juan 13:35). Finalmente, declaró "En esto es glorificado mi Padre, en que llevéis mucho fruto, y seáis así mis discípulos" (Juan 15:8). Jesús espera que todos aquellos que creen en Él se conviertan en Sus discípulos, aprendiendo y viviendo de acuerdo a Su Palabra mientras muestran Su amor y glorifican a Dios Padre, permitiéndoles producir fruto espiritual en sus vidas (Lucas 14:21-33).Una de las palabras principales usadas en el Nuevo Testamento y dentro del Cristianismo hoy en día para describir cómo un discípulo de Jesucristo debe guardar Sus mandamientos es la palabra andar. En este contexto, la palabra andar adquiere su significado figurativo de hacer elecciones consistentes, basadas en las propias creencias, que forman una dirección de vida para bien o para mal, formando un estilo de vida habitual.Es el propósito de este estudio bíblico abordar los cuarenta y siete usos de la palabra andar, por un enfoque especial en las palabras griegas peripatéo (περιπατέω) y poreúomai (πορεύομαι), encontradas en treinta y dos pasajes, para revelar diez verdades bíblicas específicas que deben aplicarse a las actividades diarias de cada creyente para que pueda ser verdaderamente uno de los discípulos de Jesucristo y representarle delante del mundo.
