Book Description
Alistair Stanhope faces this question when his faith is shaken by the untimely death of his friend, Ben Aberlochy. Dissatisfied by the traditional answers of his church, yet driven by an urgency for understanding, Alistair and his wife, Priscilla, turn to a close circle of friends for reassurance and support. As these believers seek a deeper faith, they embrace a simple manner of worship in Alistair's own parlour. The resulting intimacy of their fellowship offers a testimony to the enduring nature of authentic Christian communion and the simplicity of the gospel. This novel dramatizes the true story of a little known Christian fellowship that flowered late in the 19th century. Resolute men and women lived out their faith in a world of violence and rejection to their message by some...and acceptance and transformation by others. Unforgettable characters step out of the story with an invitation to join them as they follow in the footsteps of Jesus and His disciples. As a result, we find our own lives irrevocably changed as we too must decide to follow wherever God leads. Book jacket.

Book Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years. What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . . Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth. A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.
