PAPERBACK
In this mind-bending exploration of traditional Christianity,
firebrand Peter Rollins turns the tables on conventional
wisdom, offering a fresh perspective focused on a life filled
with love.
Peter Rollins knows one magic tricknow, make sure you watch
closely. It has three parts: the Pledge, the Turn, and the Prestige. In
Divine Magician, each part comes into play as he explores a radical
view of interacting with the world in love.
Rollins argues that the Christian event, reenacted in the Eucharist, is
indeed a type of magic trick, one that is echoed in the great vanishing
acts performed by magicians throughout the ages. In this trick, a
divine object is presented to us (the Pledge), disappears (the Turn),
and then returns (the Prestige). But just as the returned object in a
classic vanishing act is not really the same objectbut another that
looks the sameso this book argues that the return of God is not
simply the return of what was initially presented, but rather a radical
way of interacting with the world. In an effort to unearth the power
of Christianity, Rollins uses this framework to explain the mystery of
faith that has been lost on the church. In the same vein as Rob Bells
bestseller Love Wins, this book pushes the boundaries of theology,
presenting a stirring vision at the forefront of re-imagined modern
Christianity.
As a dynamic speaker as he is in writing, Rollins examines traditional
religious notions from a revolutionary and refreshingly original
perspective. At the heart of his message is a life lived through
profound love. Just perhaps, says Rollins, the radical message found
in Christianity might be one that the church can show allegiance to.
Peter Rollins is a widely sought after writer, lecturer, storyteller, and public speaker.
He is the founder of Ikon, a Belfast, Northern Ireland, faith group that has gained an
international reputation for blending live music, visual imagery, soundscapes, theater,
ritual, and reflection. He currently resides in Greenwich, Connecticut.

After a massacre at a Bosnian prison camp, a young girl is
found alone, clutching a diary, so traumatized she cant even
speak. Twenty years later, the last witness to the prison
guards' brutal crimes must hunt down those responsible to
learn what happened to her family.
Twenty years ago, after the fall of Yugoslavia, the world watched in
horror as tens of thousands were killed or imprisioned in work camps
during an ethnic cleansing in Bosnia. Carla Lane has little
knowledge of what went on halfway around the world when she was
a child. She is living a near perfect life in New York City, married and
soon to have a family of her own. But when her husband is murdered
by a group of Serbian war criminals, strange memories start coming
back, and she discovers that she underwent extensive therapy as a
girl to suppress her memories. She is given her mothers diary, which
unlocks her childhood memories and reveals that she was, along with
her parents and young brother, imprisoned in a war camp outside
Sarajevo.
As her memories come back, it becomes clear that she is the last
witness to a brutal massacre in the prison and that her brother may
still be alive. She sets out to find her brother, but first she must hunt
down the war criminals responsible for destroying her life. But these
killers will stop at nothing to protect their anonymity and their deadly
pasts...and are determined to silence the last witness to their crimes.
From the talented storyteller who gave us The Second Messiah,
Buried Secrets serves up another captivating and nail-biting thriller
that will keep you holding your breath right to the end.

Her name is legend. Her story, the epic of nations. The Queen
of Sheba. A powerful new novel of love, power, and the
questions at the heart of existence by the author of the
brilliant (Library Journal) and masterful (Publishers
Weekly) Iscariot.
There is the story you know: A foreign queen, journeying north
with a caravan of riches to pay tribute to a king favored by the
One God. The tale of a queen conquered by a king and god both
before returning to her own land laden with gifts.
That is the tale you were meant to believe.
Which means most of it is a lie.
The truth is far more than even the storytellers could conjure.
The riches more priceless. The secrets more corrosive. The love
and betrayal more passionate and devastating.
Across the Red Sea, the pillars of the great oval temple once bore
my name: Bilqis, Daughter of the Moon. Here, to the west, the
porticoes knew another: Makeda, Woman of Fire. To the
Israelites, I was queen of the spice lands, which they called
Sheba.
In the tenth century BC, the new Queen of Sheba has inherited her
fathers throne and all its riches at great personal cost. Her realm
stretches west across the Red Sea into land wealthy in gold,
frankincense, and spices. But now new alliances to the North
threaten the trade routes that are the lifeblood of her nation. Solomon,
the brash new king of Israel famous for his wealth and wisdom, will
not be denied the tribute of the worldor of Shebas queen. With
tensions ready to erupt within her own borders and the future of her
nation at stake, the one woman who can match wits with Solomon
undertakes the journey of a lifetime in a daring bid to test and win the
king. But neither ruler has anticipated the clash of agendas, gods, and
passion that threatens to igniteand ruinthem both. An explosive
retelling of the legendary king and queen and the nations that shaped
history.
Tosca Lee is the New York Times bestselling author of Iscariot; Demon: A Memoir;
Havah: The Story of Eve; and the Books of Mortals series with New York Times

The inspiring true story of the coach from the wrong side of
town who shook up the status quo, changed a community, and
was elected the first black principal of the famous Beverly
Hills High School.
When Beverly Hills High Schoolthe inspiration for Beverly Hills
90210welcomed a skinny boy from the wrong side of town, no
one knew just how life changing the decision would be, not just for
Carter Paysinger but for all of Beverly Hills.
Carter grew up hearing his parents say, Dont just strive to be good.
Always strive to be great. Taking their words to heart, he grabbed
this opportunity and, ultimately, earned a masters degree in
education. Because of his connection to the school that started it all,
Carter returned and dedicated his life to being a coach and a teacher,
finding himself drawn into the lives of innumerable kids who came
seeking an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. As fate would have it,
one such kid, Steven Fentona scrappy, undersized boy whose
father was once the mayor of Beverly Hillsgrew up to be on the
board of education and a key player in what was to come.
Years passed, and Beverly Hills High School fell into disarray with
principals hired and fired and families fleeing the school. After twenty
years, Carter and Steven reunited and found renewed passion, hope,
and vision to fight for their community. When Carter applied for the
principal position, though, they were surprised to find that the
progressive Beverly Hills that prided itself in open-mindedness
suddenly thought that its winningest and most beloved coach didnt fit
the profile for the Beverly Hills image. It was the beginning of a long
road, but Carter could hear his fathers voice, saying: Let it be their
problem, and do what you have to do.
Filled with hope, triumph, and the struggles that come to define us,
Where a Man Stands is a beautiful fish-out-of-water story about the
families formed in unlikely places and how where you stand, and with
whom, and for what, matters as much as anything.
Carter Paysinger has served Beverly Hills High School for several years as a teacher,
coach, department chairperson, athletic director, and principal. He lives in Los
Angeles with his family.
Steven Fenton has been a talent manager for over twenty years. As president of the
Beverly Hills board of education, he founded many community programs. He lives in
Los Angeles with his wife, TV personality Leeza Gibbons, and their children.

PAPERBACK
A personal account of the Courtney family and the Preemptive
Love Coalition, as they help children obtain lifesaving
surgeries in Iraq using one simple but powerful tool: a love
that strikes first.
In the middle of the Iraq War, Jeremy and Jessica Courtney found
themselves with their two children caught up in the turmoil, just
hoping to make a difference. After an encounter with a father whose
little girl was dying from a heart defect, they began to investigate
options for helping and learned that untold thousands of children
across Iraq were in similar need, waiting in line for heart surgery in a
country without a qualified heart surgeon.
With the help of their closest friends, they dived in to save the lives of
as many as they could, but sending children abroad proved to be
expensive and cumbersome, and it failed to make an impact on the
systemic needs of Iraqi hospitalsthe place where these children
really should be saved. Despite fatwas, death threats, bombings,
imprisonments, and intense living conditions, Jeremy and his team
persevered to overcome years of hostilities and distrust in an effort to
eradicate the backlog of thousands upon thousands of Iraqi children
waiting in line for much-needed heart surgery.
This true story of people coming together to live the doctrine of 'love
first, ask questions later' by building bridges and saving lives is
powerfully inspiring, touching, and, unfortunately, urgently relevant
(Publishers Weekly). Courtneys moving story gives us some of the
best news to come out of Iraq in ages (Los Angeles Times).
Jeremy Courtney is cofounder and executive director of the Preemptive Love
Coalition (PLC), an international development organization based in Iraq that
provides lifesaving heart surgeries to Iraqi children and trains local doctors and
nurses. Jeremy resides in Iraq with his wife, two children, and an indispensable team
of dear friends.

God has gifted us with emotions since the very beginningand he did
so with very concrete purposes in mindso that we can enjoy life, so
we can connect with others, and so we can reflect God's image in us.

make the worst of us.
Though we cannot see, taste, or touch our emotions, we are
constantly affected by their forceful presence and the incredible
influence they have over us. They can alter how we view our day,
other people, and even the major events in our lives. Through our
feelings, we have the capacity to enjoy amazing triumphs and deep
fulfillment or experience crushing defeat and ruined relationships.
As Dr. Stanley deals with five key destructive emotionsfear,
rejection, guilt, bitterness, and despairhe shares four simple steps
for handling our emotions in a healthy manner.
Revealing God's original purpose for emotions and wisely exposing
the root of all negative emotions, Dr. Stanley will touch your heart as
he teaches you how to find joy and fulfillment in the God-given gift of
emotions.

negative emotions and reclaim the purpose and joy for which God
created them.

Former White House policy expert, nationally syndicated
columnist, and media advisor on all things parenting,
Marybeth Hicks offers practical and heartfelt solutions for
families to bond through social media and cultural
advancements.
Never have Christian families been so challenged by the world
around them to instill and instruct their children in the tenets of their
faith. Moral relativism literally seeps into every facet of family life
and saturates our popular culture. A ubiquitous media presence that
defines our daily experience also is defining the attitudes and
behaviors of those who consume it. Yet within this pervasive secular
culture, Christian families encounter teachable moments, those
unplanned but unmatched opportunities to put their faith into action
and live out the values and virtues embodied in Jesus Christ. When
looking for teachable moments, parents, and coaches must approach
each day with intentionality, seeking out and capitalizing on
opportunities to incorporate life lessons into every day experiences
amid the culture.
Teachable moments might be as simple as incorporating values about
empathy and compassion in young friendships, or as complex and
consequential as understanding the nature of the cultures destructive
messages about human sexuality. They might present themselves in
song lyrics, teachers comments, television shows, social media
interactions, and current events. Most certainly, teachable moments
emerge in parenting decisions, family relationships, school situations,
and in opportunities for freedom and responsibility.
Teachable Moments outlines the overarching issues and objectives in
using daily encounters with the culture to impart the values and
virtues of Christianity. Through entertaining and instructive questions
and answers, author Marybeth Hicks provides concrete examples of
teachable moments that will ring true for every family.
Marybeth Hicks is a weekly columnist for The Washington Times and the founder
and editor of OntheCulture.com, a blog for American women about the things that
matter most. A frequent commentator on cultural issues, she has appeared on

PAPERBACK
Written for the millennial generation, gathering the church
around twelve key commitments to justice, sustainability, art,
compassion, austerity, and a desire to make the world better
by living out the love of Christ.
We are on the crest of an epic shift in humanity. As Jeremy Rifkin
writes, The Age of Reason is being eclipsed by the Age of
Empathy. The current millennial generation views the world as an
extended familyincreasingly interconnected through technology
and they live with a deep moral obligation to care for one another.
In The Barefoot Tribe, Palmer Chinchen issues a wake-up call to the
church of today, highlighting this new wave of social justice leaders,
who are not afraid to take action, take risks, and remake the world
into one more like what Jesus had in mind.
Chinchen challenges the dispassion of the church of decades past,
calling for one that does not withdraw into the safe confines of its
sanctuary walls. Drawing on compelling stories from his life growing
up in Liberia and various experiences from his own church, he maps
out a new course that addresses the world's needs in a way that is
outside the norm for many evangelicals.
Conversational, fresh, and accessible, The Barefoot Tribe invites
readers to join others also seeking to live a life of meaning and
purpose in this world made smaller by technology.
Because with the power of the tribe...we can make the world a
better place.
Palmer Chinchen, PhD, was raised in the jungles of Liberia and later returned to
Africa, where he taught spiritual development and practical theology at African Bible
College in Malawi and Liberia. Palmer is now Lead Pastor of The Grove church in
Chandler, Arizona, a young, dynamic, and rapidly growing congregation or more than
1,600 worshipers. Palmer and his church are committed to working tirelessly
together to eliminate extreme poverty, eradicate malaria, and end injustice in Africa.

John McCains evocative history of Americans at war, told
through the personal accounts of thirteen remarkable soldiers
who fought in major military conflicts, from the Revolutionary
War of 1776 to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As a veteran himself, a member of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, and a long-time student of history, John McCain brings a
distinctive perspective to this subject. Thirteen Soldiers tells the
stories of real soldiers who personify valor, obedience, enterprise, and
love. Youll meet Joseph Plumb Martin, who at the tender age of
fifteen fought in the Revolutionary War; Charles Black, a freeborn
African American sailor in the War of 1812; and Sam Chamberlain,
of the Mexican American War, whose life inspired novelist Cormac
McCarthy. Then theres Oliver Wendell Holmes, an aristocratic
idealist disillusioned by the Civil War, and Littleton Tony Waller,
court-martialed for refusing to massacre Filipino civilians.
Each account illustrates a particular aspect of war, such as Mary
Rhoads, an Army reservist forever changed by an Iraqi scud missile
attack during the Persian Gulf War, and Monica Lin Brown, a
frontline medic in rural Afghanistan who saved several lives in an
ambushed convoy. From their acts of self-sacrifice to their
astonishing bravery, these thirteen soldiers embody the best America
has to offer.
Senator John McCain entered the Naval Academy in June of 1954. He served in the
United States Navy until 1981. He was elected to the US House of Representatives
from Arizona in 1982 and to the Senate in 1986. He was the Republican Partys
nominee for president in the 2008 election.
Mark Salter is the author, with John McCain, of several books, including Faith of My
Fathers. He served on Sen. McCains staff for more than fifteen years.

From the author of the prizewinning New York Times bestseller
Empire of the Summer Moon comes a thrilling account of how
Civil War general Thomas Stonewall Jackson became a
great and tragic American hero.
Stonewall Jackson has long been a figure of legend and romance. As
much as any person in the Confederate pantheon, even Robert E.
Lee, he embodies the romantic Southern notion of the virtuous lost
cause. Jackson is also considered, without argument, one of our
countrys greatest military figures. His brilliance at the art of war tied
Abraham Lincoln and the Union high command in knots and
threatened the ultimate success of the Union armies. Jacksons
strategic innovations shattered the conventional wisdom of how war
was waged; he was so far ahead of his time that his techniques
would be studied generations into the future.
In April 1862 Jackson was merely another Confederate general in an
army fighting what seemed to be a losing cause. By June he had
engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American
history and was one of the most famous men in the Western world.
He had, moreover, given the Confederate cause what it had recently
lackedhopeand struck fear into the hearts of the Union.
Rebel Yell is written with the swiftly vivid narrative that is Gwynnes
hallmark and is rich with battle lore, biographical detail, and intense
conflict between historical figures. Gwynne delves deep into
Jacksons private life, including the loss of his young beloved first
wife and his regimented personal habits. It traces Jacksons brilliant
twenty-four-month career in the Civil War, the period that
encompasses his rise from obscurity to fame and legend; his stunning
effect on the course of the war itself; and his tragic death, which
caused both North and South to grieve the loss of a remarkable
American hero.
S.C. Gwynne is the author of the New York Times bestseller Empire of the Summer
Moon, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics
Circle Award. He spent most of his career as a journalist, including stints with Time
as bureau chief, national correspondent, and senior editor, and with Texas Monthly as
executive editor. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and daughter.

From the bestselling author of Nixonland: a dazzling portrait of
America on the verge of a nervous breakdown in the
tumultuous political and economic times of the 1970s.
In January of 1973 Richard Nixon announced the end of the Vietnam
War and prepared for a triumphant second termuntil televised
Watergate hearings revealed his White House as little better than a
mafia den. The next president declared upon Nixons resignation our
long national nightmare is overbut then congressional investigators
exposed the CIA for assassinating foreign leaders. The collapse of
the South Vietnamese government rendered moot the sacrifice of
some 58,000 American lives. The economy was in tatters. And as
Americans began thinking about their nation in a new wayas one
more nation among nations, no more providential than any otherthe
pundits declared that from now on successful politicians would be the
ones who honored this chastened new national mood.
Ronald Reagan never got the message. Which was why, when he
announced his intention to challenge President Ford for the 1976
Republican nomination, those same pundits dismissed himuntil,
amazingly, it started to look like he just might win. He was inventing
the new conservative political culture we know now, in which a vision
of patriotism rooted in a sense of American limits was derailed in
Americas Bicentennial year by the rise of the smiling politician from
Hollywood. Against a backdrop of melodramas from the Arab oil
embargo to Patty Hearst to the near-bankruptcy of Americas
greatest city, The Invisible Bridge asks the question: what does it
mean to believe in America? To wave a flagor to reject the
glibness of the flag wavers?
Rick Perlstein is the author of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing
of America, a New York Times bestseller picked as one of the best nonfiction books
of the year by over a dozen publications; Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the
Unmaking of the American Consensus, which won the 2001 Los Angeles Times
Book Award for history and appeared on the best books of the year lists of The New
York Times, The Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune. His essays and book
reviews have been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The
Washington Post, The Nation, The Village Voice, and Slate, among others. He has
received a National Endowment for the Humanities grant for independent scholars.
He lives in Chicago.

PAPERBACK
The Girlfriends Guide meets What to Expect for breast cancer
patients in an outstanding book that is at once beautiful and
helpful, realistic and uplifting.
When she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age thirty-nine,
Hollye Jacobsa pediatric and adult palliative care nurse with
graduate degrees in bioethics and child developmentstarted a blog
to keep family and friends informed. It soon evolved into a daily
must-read for thousands of women worldwide. Now, in a graceful,
exquisitely illustrated work with full-color photographs by
award-winning photographer Elizabeth Messina, Jacobs offers an
informative, therapeutic guide for people who have been diagnosed
with the disease.
Part personal memoir, part professional guide, The Silver Lining is
the book that Jacobs wished shed had when she began her fight with
cancer. She covers what every patient can expect as they go through
their specific treatment and teaches other big issues, such as nutrition
and how to talk to children about illness. While the book is brimming
with action steps to help negotiate each phase of treatment and
recovery, every chapter concludes with Silver Liningsthe
sources of inspiration and perspective that buoyed Jacobs through her
own journey and that, taken together, comprise the heartbeat of the
book.
Like a good friend, this book will be by your side as you travel
through the world of breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and
recovery, says Dr. Susan Love, surgeon, breast cancer research
advocate, and author of Dr. Susan Loves Breast Book. An
invaluable guide, a gorgeously rendered object of beauty, The Silver
Lining will be the manual for breast cancer patients and their loved
ones.

professorship at her small Southern college.
Ransom Fielding is still struggling with his role in his wifes accidental
death six years ago and is hoping that a year at Shelbys small college
near his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, will be a respite from the
pressures of Ivy League academia. He never bargained for falling in
love with the one woman whose careerand pridehe injured, and
who would do anything to make him leave.

over the centuries-old history of local battles and antebellum
