The Maasai believe in two gods. Enkai Narok, the Black God, is benign. Enkai Nanyokie, the Red God, is the god of anger, vengeance, and death. Nairobi, 2007. In Africa's sprawling megacity, a small elite holds power over an impoverished, restless majority. Corruption, exploitation, and ethnic rivalry are part of everyday life. Amid claims of vote rigging and fraud, the presidential elections could be the spark that sets this city ablaze. With chaos looming, few care about one dead prostitute. But Detective Mollel does. For Mollel is a former Maasai warrior, and the dead girl was a Maasai, too. As he ventures from slums to skyscrapers, from suburbs to sewers, Mollel begins to realize that there is more at stake than just this murder. But even as he is forced to confront his turbulent past, he begins to doubt his warrior's instincts. Can Mollel manage to find the killer and solve the case before the Red God consumes all? With the sophistication of Ian Rankin and Colin Harrison, and set against the backdrop of Kenya's turbulent 2007 elections, Richard Crompton's Hour of the Red God brings Nairobi vividly to life: gritty and modern, with an extraordinary blend of tribal and urban elements. In this dark thriller, tradition and power collide, arriving at a shocking, unforgettable end. And in the Maasai hero Mollel, a new detective icon is born. One of Publishers Weekly's Best Mystery/Thriller Books of 2013

'Love has its speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, at three miles an hour. It is the speed we walk and therefore the speed the love of God walks.' Once we grasp that in Christ God chooses to walk amongst us, it changes our whole understanding of the speed of love, and the speed of theology. In Three Mile an Hour God, renowned Japanese theologian Kosuke Koyama reflects beautifully on a theme lost to western theology and western culture in general – the need for slowness. With a new foreword from John Swinton

A book that will shake the modern-day church to its core, The Red Mark on God’s Forehead trumpets the call to Christians to return to the true roots of their faith—the worship of God as He commands in the Torah. In an engaging and thought-provoking manner, Darryl Weinberg outlines the path Christianity has taken, lured by pagan practices, away from God’s plan for His people and toward the crisis facing us in these end times. The ultimate end of this journey is the denial of Messiah Himself. From moving the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, to its troubling involvement in festivals such as Easter, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Halloween, the Church has grieved the heart of God, splintered its own unity, and engaged in a lifestyle abhorrent to the Lord. Most shocking, however, is the thorough exploration of the outright anti-Semitic sentiment, particularly as expressed in the Church Fathers, that led us to this point. Through this troubling message, however, shines a light of great hope. Our ever-merciful, loving God desires to draw us back to the true worship and lifestyle that brings us into fellowship with Him. He is anxious to forgive and redeem, and His Word contains all that is needed to serve and worship Him in spirit and in truth.
