Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
A woman's body, a smashed Packard, a half-empty bottle of booze, a dark rainy night sixty years ago. The police said it was a case of drunk driving. But things weren't always as they seemed in Florida's sleepy little capital. The woman-Jo Ellen-had a past and enemies. No one wanted to ask the hard questions. The case went as cold as winter in North Florida, filed away in the dusty basement of the Tallahassee courthouse-until, Jo Ellen's father, Milo Harbert, began receiving photographs from his daughter's past. He demands the case be investigated properly. He goes to a brand-new agency: the Sheriff's Bureau, a shack of an office where he meets Special Agent True Fulton. Fulton's investigation takes him through the storefronts and back alleys and smoke-filled rooms of the little capital, to shady barrooms near Jacksonville s waterfront to the lonely prehistoric woods near Thirteen Mile, all in search for the truth-something that certain well-connected people in Tallahassee do not want revealed. Will Jo Ellen's family ever know the truth, or will justice be as elusive as the streamlined Gulf Wind disappearing into the night?

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
I did have fantastic hearing, mostly by virtue of being blind. But that couldn't actually mean that he's trying to tell me I have super powers, right? Because that would be ridiculous. It wasn't the "sex talk" he expected. Phillip Sallinger's dad has told him he's a custodian--a guardian--and his genetically inherited power is telekinesis. He'll learn to move objects with his mind. Excited to begin superhero high school until he discovers he's assigned to a "special ed" class for disabled empowered kids, he suddenly feels like an outsider. Bullied, threatened, and betrayed, Phillip struggles, even as he and his friends--calling themselves the Ables--find ways to maximize their powers to overcome their disabilities, and are the first to identify the growing evil threatening humanity. As vital custodians disappear and the custodian leadership is mired in indecision, a mysterious and powerful figure taunts Phillip, and the enemy is poised to strike. But what if the next "one who does all," the multi-gifted custodian predicted to come, is one of the Ables?

Marked and Sealed

Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
666-the number of the beast. The infamous mark is the most widely recognized number in the world, but it is also the most misunderstood. A similar situation has befallen its counterpart-the seal of God.These two topics in the New Testament book of Revelation have captivated minds for millennia, and yet so much of their significance has been missed even with a sincere desire to understand them. Many various assertions have arisen and are often encountered regarding what they mean and how they will be realized in the Creator's grand prophetic plan. What has seldom been addressed and is largely unknown is that Judaism has maintained a thought regarding both the mark of the beast and the seal of God that offers a rich insight into the subject for all believers.Marked and Sealed tackles this mysterious subject from an essentially unprecedented perspective: turning to the rich corpus of Jewish religious literature to frame the mark and the seal in their original Hebraic viewpoint. Setting aside the popular approaches of modern Western Christian thought and the historical perspectives of the Church throughout the ages, the contents herein instead present a fresh but ancient view that will challenge preconceptions while upholding the message of Scripture. This unique book offers a unifying portrait of what the revelator of Patmos sought to convey to his readers that preserves the Semitic meaning and displays the harmony between ancient Judaism and the faith of the early New Testament writers.

Category : Juvenile Fiction

Pages : 190
Book Description
In the world of thirteen-year-old girls, everything’s fine—at least on the surface. Isabelle Lee is a typical, wisecracking, middle-of-the-pack girl who just happens to be dealing with some big issues. Her father has died and no one—especially her mother—wants to talk about it. Meanwhile, Isabelle’s sister, who “used to be nine and charming,” has messed everything up by ratting Isabelle out to their mom about her eating disorder. At school, there’s Mr. Minx, the self-important (but really not bad) English teacher; Ashley Barnum, the prettiest girl around; and the lunchroom, where tables are turf in an all-eyes-open battle for social status. Isabelle has measured the distance to being cool and she thinks it’s long shiny hair, a toothpaste smile, and perfectly broken-in size-zero jeans. Perfect is the story of one girl’s attempt to cope with loss, define true friendship, and figure out the difference between appearances and reality.

War and Its Causes
Author: Jeremy Black
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538117924
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This interdisciplinary book provides an invaluable perspective on the causes of war, drawing on a thoughtful consideration of what war actually is—the key foundation for an analysis of its causes. Jeremy Black assesses the three main types of war—between cultures, within cultures, and civil—emphasizing the social and cultural factors leading to conflict. He argues that cultural factors have always been the key element, especially aggression in the shape of a willingness to kill and be killed, which alters rational assumptions of risk and overcomes deterrence. He assesses the predisposition of ideologies to think and act in terms of conflict, the functional dynamics of international relations systems, and the strengths and failures of diplomacy. Drawing on research from history, political science, and international relations, Black marshals global examples spanning the fifteenth century to the present. Contrasting wars within cultures and wars between cultures he considers the implications for ongoing and future conflict.
