Instead of ending in a storm of fire and explosions, the world collapsed like slow falling dominoes, until humanity's remnants battle for survival in the harsh new reality known as The Collapse. Enter a new era of warrior mercenaries as Fate’s Vultures rise from the wreckage of The Collapse. Four Vultures – Ruin, Havoc, Vex, and Reaper – live by their own code and are tied together by unbreakable bonds of loyalty, but in the ravaged aftermath of the post-apocalyptic rubble of civilization, these four will find their equals and stop at nothing to claim their future. LYING IN RUINS In a world gone to hell, better to choose the devil you know… On a mission to retrieve a kidnapped child, a woman skilled in secrecy crosses paths with a nomadic vigilante bent on revenge. Despite the unlikely pair's mutual distrust, they join forces to survive the predators picking through the desiccated remains of civilization. Now it's a race to see what will destroy Ruin and Charity first—their suspicions or their enemies? BEG FOR MERCY Choosing a side has never been so dangerous... To trap a cunning and illusive predator, a protector forged in a blood-soaked history must partner with the cynical heart of a betrayed assassin. Can the wary pair forge a bond of loyalty before suspicions and betrayals tear Havoc and Mercy apart? CAUGHT IN THE AFTERMATH Vengeance can leave you blind... Blinded by vengeance, a deadly predator is forced to rely on unexpected allies, only to discover a storm of passion with a woman who threatens to implode his long-term plans. Caught between a looming conflict and the fallout of a brutal betrayal, will Vex and Math survive vengeance’s aftermath? FEAR THE REAPER Hunt the hunter and reap what you sow... To ensure a future for those they’ve sworn to protect, two adversaries must navigate a minefield of past betrayals and broken promises to defeat a common enemy. With bounty hunters sniffing at their heels, can Lilith and Reaper turn their retribution to justice before it all goes to hell? *This is a complete series ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** Dare to find out why readers are binging on this complete post-apocalyptic romance series from Jami Gray!

This book arises out of contemporary questions regarding the nature and formation of the church amidst an economically divided society. Looking to Augustine of Hippo for guidance, Jonathan D. Ryan argues that the movement from private self-interest toward common love of God and neighbor is fundamental to the church's formation and identity amidst contemporary contexts of economic inequality. Ryan demonstrates the centrality of this theme in Augustine's Sermons and his monastic instruction (principally the Rule), illustrating how it shapes his pastoral guidance on matters pertinent to economic division, including use of material resources, and attitudes toward rich and poor. By reading Augustine's Sermons alongside his monastic instruction, this volume allows for a closer understanding of how Augustine's vision of a common life is reflected in his pastoral guidance to the wider congregation. The book's concluding reflections consider what the church in our time might learn from these aspects of Augustine's teaching regarding the formation of a common life, as members are drawn together in love of God and neighbour.
