Book Description
Celosia Brennan was supposed to be a hero. After a spectacular failure that cost her people their freedom, she is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance at redemption. Together with a gifted team of rebels, she not only sets her sights on freedom, but defeating her personal demons along the way. Now branded a failure, Celosia desperately volunteers for the next mission: taking down the corrupt Council with a team of her fellow elementally gifted mages. Leading the Ember Operative gives Celosia her last hope at redemption. They seek to overthrow the Council once and for all, this time bringing the fight to Valeria, the largest city under the Council's iron grip. But Celosia's new teammates don't trust her-except for Ianthe, a powerful Ice Elementalist who happens to believe in second chances. With Council spies, uncontrolled magic, and the distraction of unexpected love, Celosia will have to win the trust of her teammates and push her abilities to the breaking point to complete the Ember Operative. Except if she falters this time, there won't be any Elementalists left to stop the Council from taking over not just their country, but the entire world.

Daybreak
Author: Brian Ralph
Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly
ISBN: 1770462309
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
The cult classic zombie graphic novel: now a Netflix original series! You wake up in the rubble and see a ragged, desperate one-armed man greeting you. He takes you underground to a safe space, feeds you, offers you a place to sleep, and then announces that he’ll take the first watch. It’s not long before the peril of the jagged landscape has located you and your new-found protector and is scratching at the door. What transpires is a moment-to-moment struggle for survival-The Road meets Dawn of the Dead. Daybreak is seen through the eyes of a silent observer as he runs from the shadows of the imminent zombie threat. Brian Ralph slowly builds the tension of the zombies on the periphery, letting the threat-rather than the actual carnage-be the driving force. The post-apocalyptic backdrop features tangles of rocks, lumber, I beams, and overturned cars that are characters in and of themselves. Drawing inspiration from horror movies, television, and first-person shooter video games, Daybreak departs from zombie genre in both content and format, achieving a living-dead masterwork of literary proportions. When released in 2011, Daybreak was a critical success, a YALSA Great Graphic Novel for Teens, and a TLA Maverick Graphic Novel. Now for the first time, Daybreak is being adapted into a Netflix Original series, executive produced by Aron Eli Coleite (Star Trek: Discovery, Heroes), Brad Peyton (Frontier, Rampage), and Jeff Fierson (Frontier, Rampage), starring Matthew Broderick. Read the book before it hits the small screen this fall!

Opening the Scriptures Bringing the Gospel of Luke to Life
Author: George Martin
Publisher: Our Sunday Visitor
ISBN: 1612781497
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Bringing the Gospel of Luke to Life, Insight and Inspiration "Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?" -- Luke 24:32 The Gospel of Luke can similarly come to life for us when, as twenty-first century Christians, we have a teacher who will share his insights into its original first-century meaning and context. George Martin, a gifted Catholic writer on Scripture, employs commonsense vocabulary and concepts as he focuses on what Luke's words meant when he wrote them, with an eye toward their meaning for our times. Whether you practice lectio divina, prepare and preach homilies, lead or participate in Bible study groups, are a Scripture teacher or seminarian, you will find George Martin to be an enlightening and accessible resource. "George Martin's expositions of the Gospels are written with admirable clarity. They interpret each Gospel in its first-century context, convey the best insights of modern scholars, and challenge readers to apply the text to their own lives." -- Daniel Harrington, S.J., Boston College School of Theology and Ministry

Living in Awe!
Author: Shelli Prindle
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1622301730
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The posture of every human heart should be one of awe, a life-altering amazement at the God of the universe. When we are immersed in awareness of His power and truth, we are able to live as He intended - confident that His glory will be the end result of our lives and the ultimate outcome of everything. (I Corinthians 15:28) My prayer is that the devotions of Living in Awe! will help us - by the grace of Jesus - to refuse to be consumed by our own selfish desires and a small view of God. Instead, we will realize that God stands ready to give us true satisfaction by sweeping us into His grand plan for the cosmos. I pray we will be caught up in His greatness and realize that peace comes when our hearts are fixed on who He is, for He is great and above all else! "Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him." Psalm 33:8 As Founder and President of Hope and Passion Ministries, Shelli Prindle is a dynamic voice for the intellectual credibility and implications of a Christian worldview for every sphere of life. Shelli has been enthusiastically sharing God's Word with people of all ages for more than 25 years. She has served as both a teacher and administrator of Christian schools for 15 years and is currently on staff at Norwin Alliance Church. Shelli is a popular and engaging church, seminar, and conference speaker with recognized expertise in Christian leadership, apologetics, and education. She resides in Irwin, PA with her husband Jeff.

From the critically acclaimed author of Midnight at the Barclay Hotel comes a thrilling new middle grade mystery novel inspired by Alcatraz Prison.

But when the three of them stumble upon a dead body in the woods, miss the last ferry back home, and then have to spend the night on Raven Island, they find that they need each other now more than ever.
