“I was right, Max. The numbers and the science don’t lie. The real numbers and the real science that is. I was concerned about it back in 2020. Nobody else was though. I was told it was a statistical impossibility,” He paused for another sip from his glass before continuing. “I ran my concerns as far up the pole as I could, but I was always told the same thing. They said that better and brighter people than me were looking into it, and they weren’t concerned. Again, it was statistically impossible.”

Silas is growing into the responsibilities weighing him down. Earth is struggling, but there is hope. The deals that Silas has made have brought resources and trainers to Earth. He's helped some leaders gain an understanding of what they will face. His team has continued to grow but now he finds himself facing the greatest challenge to any Forerunner, the Wild Hunt. He'll be hunted but also have to hunt other Forerunners while forging a shaky alliance with those he can't trust. Even more disturbing, it seems like there might be more than one system to choose from.

When the clubhouse fills with smoke, First Daughters Marissa and Clara escape to find themselves in James Madison’s presidency, with the White House and capital city ablaze at the hands of invading British troops. Pursued by the redcoats, the sisters race through the countryside as the War of 1812 rages all around them. Over rough roads, through naval battles, and on the ramparts of Baltimore’s Fort McHenry—where they lend a hand composing “The Star-Spangled Banner”—Marissa and Clara help save a young nation while confronting the contradictions that challenge what it means to be free.

Their mom is the newly elected President of the United States, the Secret Service is always hovering nearby, and First Daughters Marissa and Clara don’t expect they’ll be venturing out anytime soon—until they discover a secret passage in the White House dining room and a candlelit clubhouse full of antique curiosities and mysterious doors. The candle blows out, a door opens, and the girls find themselves in the White House of President Teddy Roosevelt and his boisterous family.

When Astrid is attacked by a creep calling himself a Slayer, it seems like a cruel prank the universe is pulling on her already crappy life. Then Kaden, the most infuriating, stunning boy she’s ever met, arrives and tells her she’s a dragon-kin like him—part dragon, part human. Then Astrid actually shifts into a dragon.

Four months ago, the Crickets—the Chhrt'ktk't, in their own language—had abandoned a mobile shipyard with a burned-out hyperdrive core in Sol system as a decoy. They hadn't told humanity about the decoy part. Then they picked Alex Holder to operate it, simply because he happened to be the first human they found who could—because that would make it a better decoy. In perhaps as little as five years, the Khreetan will be coming. The Crickets hadn't intended for humanity to know that, either.

When the over-driven hyperdrive on their mobile shipyard burned out, the Chhrt'ktk't abandoned it in an inhabited system along their path, hoping it would work as a decoy to buy them more time to escape the Khreetan fleet pursuing them. They didn't anticipate how far the pre-spacefaring species they turned over their broken-down maintenance facility to would subvert their plan.

Eleven years ago, I sat my newspaper on the dining room table, fully intending to put it into the recycling bin later that day, but I didn’t. It’s still in that same spot—well, I can only be so sure because I set the following day’s paper on top of that one. Rinse and repeat. Now, I’m what is commonly referred to as a ‘hoarder.’

After more than a decade of being nagged, guilted, and threatened, I've finally joined the Corey Council and am working with my mother and grandmother to hunt down a twisted sorcerer.

This is a collection of bad poems, short stories, rushed parables, and hastily-written diatribes written over the last 4 years. Shut in my home due to the government’s tyrannical response to COVID, I did a lot of reading, thinking, and reflection. During this time, I came to admit to myself a lot of dismal truths about the “true” state of humanity, especially when it is pushed to the limits by fear and doubt. In such cases, Man becomes savage and focuses on the differences in his fellow men; he leans into his raw savageness to bifurcate and destroy. He is primal. He is reckless.

Emotional and raw, Sean DeMars tells his story of a life turned around. It is a tale of two families: one scarred by brokenness, another renewed by grace.

Abandoned by a father and abused by a mother, his search for a father finds a home with the King of heaven who graces him with love and sonship.

The latest book from the author of Evangelism: For the Care of Souls.

The idea that Christianity and science are inextricably in conflict is a relatively recent conception. However, with each new scientific discovery and scriptural insight, it's an idea that's being proved to be insupportable. Sy Garte has immersed himself in both science and faith and knows they work beautifully together to sing of the greatness of God. Now this respected scientist shares how God's world (nature and science) and God's word (made flesh in Christ) are bound together in loving harmony. In Science and Faith in Harmony,
