Just when you think the end of the world has come to an end for you, think again when you set your hands on this heart-pounding, Sci-Fi thriller. As six young men emerge from an underground laboratory within the Earth's crust, they are overtaken by the devastation an asteroid left after it collided with the planet. There is nothing left but death and destruction awaiting them. As they journey on to find any signs of life, strange things begin to happen. Equipment fails, items begin to disappear, and their good friend Butch is killed. Their quest soon ends at a barbaric fortress. As a place where people once hated them, everyone soon becomes very fond of them. Mutants are soon blamed for the chaos and disturbances. The community soon comes together to eliminate those things in a bloody, vicious war.

Book Description
In honor of what would have been Clarence Jordan's one hundredth birthday and the seventieth anniversary of Koinonia Farm, the first Clarence Jordan Symposium convened in historic Sumter County, Georgia, in 2012, gathering theologians, historians, actors, and activists in civil rights, housing, agriculture, and fair-trade businesses to celebrate a remarkable individual and his continuing influence. Clarence Jordan (1912-1969), a farmer and New Testament Greek scholar, was the author of the Cotton Patch versions of the New Testament and the founder of Koinonia Farm, a small but influential religious community in southwest Georgia. Roots in the Cotton Patch, Volume 1 contains Symposium presentations addressing Clarence's influence as a storyteller and contextual preacher and prophet, his pacifist witness in a violent and segregated South, and the contemporary meaning of his life's work in Christian community. Uniting these powerful essays is the obvious impact Jordan's life has had on so many. His life and work continue to inspire a new generation of activists, seminary students, and people in search of the meaning of Christian community.

Book Description
The Cotton Patch Gospel recasts the stories of Jesus and the letters of Paul and Peter into the language of the mid-20th century South. Born out of the Civil Rights struggle, these now classic translations of much of the New Testament bring the far-away places of Scipture closer to home: Gainesville, Selma, Birmingham, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. As Jordan once wrote, "While there have been many excellent translations of the Scriptures into modern English, they still have left us stranded in the long-distant past. We need to have the good news come to us not only in our own tongue but in our own time. We want to be participants in the faith, not merely spectators."
