Are you ready for “a non-stop, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride!” and the book called “the best of the three in the series”? In the dead of night, in a well-hidden cabin in Georgia, assassins wake Sin from a dead sleep. No one should have been able to find them. But with the door crashing open, it’s too late to think about what went wrong. Sin is just fast enough to get away. Lee isn’t. Unable to find him, Sin will have to do something she’s never done before: ask for help. She turns to the two most likely to be able to help, Nick Stelian and former FBI Agent Owen Dunham. While Owen’s hands are tied, Annika Dunham’s aren’t. She speaks the language and can get Sin inside the Kurev organization. While Nick and Owen form an uneasy alliance, Sin and Annika attempt to gain access using everything they can to free Lee. Right and wrong have long since been obliterated. And one of Lee’s kidnappers looks far too familiar: someone Sin is convinced should be long dead. The ties between families and enemies have become intricately tangled. To save Lee, Sin will have to bend and break bonds she didn’t even know existed. She’ll have to do it all while protecting a new secret . . . Justice is the third and final book in the Vendetta Trifecta by USA Today bestselling author A.J. Scudiere. While it can be read as a standalone, if you haven’t read the other two, you’ll want to be sure you get the whole trifecta!

A powerful poem about Ona Judge's life and her self-emancipation from George Washington’s household. Ona Judge was enslaved by the Washingtons, and served the President's wife, Martha. Ona was widely known for her excellent skills as a seamstress, and was raised alongside Washington’s grandchildren. Indeed, she was frequently mistaken for his granddaughter. This poetic biography follows her childhood and adolescence until she decides to run away. Author Ray Anthony Shepard welcomes meaningful and necessary conversation among young readers about the horrors of slavery and the experience of house servants through call-and-response style lines. Illustrator Keith Mallett’s rich paintings include fabric collage and add further feeling and majesty to Ona’s daring escape. With extensive backmatter, this poem may serve as a new introduction to American slavery and Ona Judge's legacy.

In a day when the church's voice is increasingly silenced by the world's opposition, a call to stand for the good fight of faith must be made. But in God's call to His people, He asks them to stand up by first kneeling down. In an address to Solomon, God said: "If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves...then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land." The first motion toward the awesome, sovereign God is downward, in humility. The title of the book, Before Honor, is taken from a verse from Solomon's Proverbs: "Before honor is humility." Before a hearing from heaven and preceding any honor to God or from Him is humility. The author of the book confirms this principle of humility with a plethora of Biblical evidence. Using a Biblical overview, the writer demonstrates the continuity of the theme from Genesis to Revelation, thus supporting the claim that humility is a fundamental attribute of God and the only attitude a follower can have that exalts and glorifies Christ. Though pride, the inverse of humility, is a destructive force, humility is a beneficent one. Humility is the hope of revival for all God's people.
