An exceptional debut novel about a young Muslim war orphan whose family is killed in a military operation gone wrong, and the American soldier to whom his fate, and survival, is bound. Jonas is fifteen when his family is killed during an errant U.S. military operation in an unnamed Muslim country. With the help of an international relief organization, he is sent to America, where he struggles to assimilate-foster family, school, a first love. Eventually, he tells a court-mandated counselor and therapist about a U.S. soldier, Christopher Henderson, responsible for saving his life on the tragic night in question. Christopher's mother, Rose, has dedicated her life to finding out what really happened to her son, who disappeared after the raid in which Jonas' village was destroyed. When Jonas meets Rose, a shocking and painful secret gradually surfaces from the past, and builds to a shattering conclusion that haunts long after the final page. Told in spare, evocative prose, The Book of Jonas is about memory, about the terrible choices made during war, and about what happens when foreign disaster appears at our own doorstep. It is a rare and virtuosic novel from an exciting new writer to watch.

Imagined as a sequel to the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, The Last Testament features visual accounts and stories of seven men around the world who claim to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Building on biblical form and structure, chapters dedicated to each Jesus include excerpts of their scriptural testaments, laying out their theology and demands on mankind in their own words. Jonas Bendiksen takes at face value that each one is the true Messiah returned to Earth, to forge an account that is a work of apocalyptic journalism and compelling artistic imagination.

More than an unusual love story, Jonas and the Mountain offers startling insights into the nature of reality. An enlightened eastern mystic. A western psychic who knows everything. And a broken man who falls in love with them both at a holy, magnetic mountain in India. This is a journey into the heart of it all.Jonas has been living a half-life since he lost his marriage, his college English teaching position, and his best friend all at once. Then he hears a voice in his head, and strange poems start to just come to him. These events lead him away from his home in Vancouver, Canada, to the holy mountain of Arunachala in India, where Jonas meets the American guru D whose master was the sage of nondualism, Ramana Maharshi. From D he learns about silence and waking up from the dream. After Jonas's retreat with D ends, he meets an oddly familiar woman and discovers a connection with her that explains the voice and poems and opens up yet another reality. Anamika's unique metaphysical teachings differ from D's-multiple dimensions, partner selves, creativity-and she offers simple expressive arts exercises to bring them home to the characters in the novel and to you, the reader. Jonas seeks to reconcile D's and Anamika's knowledge to find what is true with a capital "T," as he struggles to resolve the pain in his past and the surprising ways it appears in his present.You are invited to journey with Jonas and find your own answers.

“This book is intense! I think I overshared.” —Joe Jonas “We all did. That's what memoirs are about. Telling your truth.” —Kevin Jonas “But what if your truth is different than mine…?”—Nick Jonas Since their formation in 2005, the Jonas Brothers have been critically adored and commercially celebrated—with over 22 million album sales, sold-out stadium tours, major film appearances, and seven performances at the White House. But behind the scenes, things weren’t always as they seemed. Now, for the first time, Kevin, Joe and Nick will share their complete story, from their Disney days through their contentious breakup and explosive reunion. Alternating between the perspectives of each brother (with occasional interludes from their youngest sibling, Frankie), Blood is an epic narrative of the Jonas journey as each of them remembers it. In turns funny, irreverent, and eye-opening, it’s an unencumbered look at the ranks of fame and stardom, and a story of learning to find individuality within the blood ties of band and family. With over 70 photos—some exclusive and never-before-seen—Blood is a deeply personal portrait of one family’s survival in the high-stakes world of pop music as well as a feat of brother-to-brother storytelling.
