Book Description
Many visitors to Yellowstone National Park don't realize that the boiling hot springs and spraying geysers are caused by an underlying supervolcano, so large that the caldera can only be seen by plane or satellite. And by some scientific measurements, it could be overdue for an eruption. For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence. Alex begins a harrowing trek to seach for his family and finds help in Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster.

Book Description
The Yellowstone supervolcano nearly wiped out the human race. Now, almost a year after the eruption, the survivors seem determined to finish the job. Communities wage war on each other, gangs of cannibals roam the countryside, and what little government survived the eruption has collapsed completely. The ham radio has gone silent. Sickness, cold, and starvation are the survivors' constant companions. When it becomes apparent that their home is no longer safe and adults are not facing the stark realities, Alex and Darla must create a community that can survive the ongoing disaster, an almost impossible task requiring even more guts and more smarts than ever--and unthinkable sacrifice. If they fail . . . they, their loved ones, and the few remaining survivors will perish. This epic finale has the heart of Ashfall, the action of Ashen Winter, and a depth all its own, examining questions of responsibility and bravery, civilization and society, illuminated by the story of an unshakable love that transcends a post-apocalyptic world and even life itself.

Book Description
Ash is a beautifully illustrated account of the botanical and cultural faces of the ash tree. The book maps the tree’s evolution and geographical spread across the entire Northern Hemisphere over the last 44 million years, and describes the 43 species that grace the planet today. Edward Parker also explores the botany, cultural history, and medicinal uses of the tree, from its significance in ancient Indo-European cultures, to its remarkable properties in treating Alzheimer’s disease. In addition he looks at topical issues, such as the devastating effects that the spread of the emerald ash borer beetle and the ash dieback fungal infection are having on Northern Hemisphere forests.

Book Description
Life is variable, messy, and complicated. A single instant can propel us from joyful heights to seemingly endless tunnels of darkness, while between the milestones, time often drags at the pace of a snail on depressants, weighing us down in our inevitable march toward earthly life’s end. But in every moment, setting, and circumstance, God is present. Seen or unseen, His hand works, His eyes watch, and His heart beats a faithful cadence of commitment to those made to bear His image. While doctrinal answers truthfully respond to our mind’s questions, they sometimes miss making the ten-inch journey to the heart where our deeper wondering and need lives. The reflections in Beauty from Ashes were born outside of church walls, where feet meet pavement—where heart, mind, and body seek beauty, truth, and fulfillment in the daily reality of the world surrounding our Monday through Saturday lives. These musings on the incomprehensible God—ponderings on loss, joy, dissatisfaction, growth, need, failure, and strength—are variable and messy, as is life. But in every page, as in every moment, God is there, and that reality is the truth in which fulfilled, abundant life takes root. May the words of this book be herbs to flavor your experience of marinating in God’s love.
