After working as an Advisor for the Roman Empire, Tiberius Maximus Vispania returned to Herculaneum in 79AD to start over. When he meets Sidonia Regilla, a fire instantly ignites between them, and although she was supposed to marry by arrangement, after the first fell through, she made a deal with her father. She would be allowed to choose her future husband. Could Sidonia be happy with Tiberius? Just when happiness finds a way, an epic tragedy occurs and the entire village is wiped out. Only Tiberius and his best friend survive, courtesy of a curse that's provided them with immortality. 2,000 years later, Tiberius, who now goes by Max, runs the town of Trenton, California with his best friend. Max never got over losing Sidonia until the day that Kelsey Stillthorn walked into his bar. With one look, Kelsey lights a desire within him that only Sidonia had ever done. When their dark worlds collide, an overwhelming need to protect her takes over, and he realizes there may be more to Kelsey's ability to get under his skin than he thought. When Kelsey is kidnapped and tortured, unknown old rivals and secrets come to light. When Max rushes in to save her, he vows that either all of them would come out alive, or none of them.

The invitation to hear the heartbeat of God leads us on a journey into the heart of Love, whose name is Jesus. There is nothing that will breathe more life and energy into your relationship with God than the living reality that God is speaking, Jesus is present, the Holy Spirit is leading, and we can hear. And yet, our end goal is not simply to hear God's voice so that God will answer our questions or prayers or encourage our faith. Rather, we are seeking to connect our longing to know God with God's longing to share his heart so that his love will transform us more and more into the image of Jesus. Our journey into hearing the heartbeat of God is about the communication that happens when we experience an authentic and vulnerable love relationship with God where "[we] shall know fully even as [we are] fully known."

Wilson's SOUTHERN READER'S GUIDES distills more than a half century of scholarship into identifying and describing 60 essential books on the topic of the "The War Between the States," that is, the American war of 1860-1865, often erroneously referred to as the "Civil War." Dr. Wilson, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History of the University of South Carolina, was editor of the highly-praised Papers of John C.

In Southern Grit Michael Martin provides a unique, intimate, human portrayal of the experiences of Confederate soldiers and civilians who endured the ten months' siege of Petersburg in 1864 and 1865.

In this time of vicious onslaught against our heritage, here is a message much needed: We are right to celebrate the memory of such Southern people. Says Martin: "Going inside the mind of Younger Longest gives a deep and detailed look at the grit, faith, and resolve that make the Southern people so unique."
