Book Description
The author of Mother London provides “another fabulous ride . . . as sprawling as a Victorian social novel and as vigorous as an eighteenth-century picaresque” (Kirkus, starred review). The King of the City recounts the times and trials of quintessential Londoner Dennis Dover, former rock guitarist, photojournalist, and paparazzo. Though he may travel far and wide, London's many vagaries always seduce Denny home. And London is where Rosie Beck is—Denny's brilliant, beautiful, socially conscious cousin. Rosie has always been Denny’s soul and soulmate. Since childhood they have been inseparable, delighting in a life with no limits. But now the metropolis that nurtured them is threatened by a powerful, unstoppable force that consumes the past and leaves nothing of substance in its wake. The terminator is named John Barbican Begg. A hanger-on from Denny and Rosie's youth, he has become the morally corrupt center of their London and the richest, most rapacious creature in the Western Hemisphere. Now, as their cherished landmarks tumble, conspiracy, secrets, lies, and betrayal become the centerpieces of Rosie and Dennis's days. For Barbican has but one goal: to devour the entire world. And the only choice left is to join in, drop out . . . or plot to destroy.

Jesus the King
Author: Timothy Keller
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1594486662
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Previously published in hardcover as King's Cross The most influential man to ever walk the earth has had his story told in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years. Can any more be said? Now, Timothy Keller, New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and the man Newsweek called a “C. S. Lewis for the twenty-first century,” unlocks new insights into the life of Jesus Christ as he explores how Jesus came as a king, but a king who had to bear the greatest burden anyone ever has. Jesus the King is Keller’s revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark. In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God. It is an unforgettable look at Jesus Christ, and one that will leave an indelible imprint on every reader.
