Book Description
Only when the Church enacts its scandalous Jesus-centered tradition, will it truly be the Body of Christ and transform the world. Twenty-five years after its first publishing, Resident Aliens remains a prophetic vision of how the Church can regain its vitality, battle its malaise, reclaim its capacity to nourish souls, and stand firmly against the illusions, pretensions, and eroding values of today's world. Resident Aliens discusses the nature of the church and its relationship to surrounding culture. It argues that churches should focus on developing Christian life and community rather than attempting to reform secular culture. Hauerwas and Willimon reject the idea that America is a Christian nation, instead Christians should see themselves as "residents aliens" in a foreign land. Stanley Hauerwas and William H. Willimon maintain that, instead of attempting to transform government, the role of Christians is to live lives which model the love of Christ. Rather than trying to convince others to change their ethics, Christians should model a new set of ethics which are grounded in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.

Book Description
In a secret society where human medical experimentation is conducted at any cost... There are bound to be mistakes. Behind the protective walls of the Colony... Layla is growing restless. The Colony is filled with secrets, and James has been keeping her in the dark. So when a woman from her youth opens a crack into her past, Layla discovers everything she believed about the Colony has been a lie—even the baby she carries. Burdened with an unnerving pregnancy and tormented by terrifying hallucinations and blackouts, she sets out to uncover the unspeakable truths inside the Colony's walls. Outside, in the poisoned world... The virus has killed millions and devastated the economy, but investigative reporter Nick Slater is determined to find and expose the illegal biohacking ring that's snatching young people from the impoverished streets. When he's framed for arson and forced into hiding, his only chance of getting the story is to join the unsuspecting victims herded onto buses and swept off into the night. As Nick risks his life barreling toward the truth and Layla struggles to constrain the invasive life growing inside her… A new, evolved breed of humans is about to be unveiled. "A gripping — at times, terrifying — story that moves at the speed of light with clever and crafty characters whose motives and allegiances make it exciting to decipher the good guys from the bad. Hunt knows how to keep a story moving, finishing so many chapters with the type of jaw-dropper that compels you to keep going without a break." —BookTrib "An involving, twisty, and well-written thriller that's both thought-provoking and entertaining ... The tale closes with some very unexpected surprises for readers, giving a huge boost to the story's overall intrigue." —Kirkus Reviews "Hunt has written a chilling dystopia ... The plot never lags, moving quickly from one shocking discovery to the next ... This well-written medical mystery, combining the best elements of thriller and sci-fi, is perfect for fans of twist endings and moral quandaries." —BookLife
