DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith over 200 spectacular images, including astonishing satellite photographs and stills from the PBS docuseries, Life from Above reveals our planet as you've never seen it before. Thanks to advanced satellite images, we can now see the earth's surface, its megastructures, weather patterns, and natural wonders in breathtaking detail. From the colors and patterns that make up our planet to the mass migrations and seismic changes that shape it, Life from Above sheds new light on the place we call home. It reveals the intimate stories behind the images, following herds of elephants crossing the plains of Africa and turtles traveling on ocean currents that are invisible unless seen from space. The true colors of our planet are revealed, from the striped tulip fields of Holland to the vivid turquoise lakes in Iceland to the green swirl of a plankton super bloom attracting a marine feeding frenzy. Whether it's the world's largest beaver dam--so remote it was discovered only through satellite imagery--or newly formed islands born from volcanic eruptions, you'll discover new perspectives with every image.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA suspenseful sci-fi escapade plucks two children out of the ocean for a thrilling adventure. Thirteen-year-old Aluna has lived her entire life under the ocean with the Coral Kampii in the City of Shifting Tides. But after centuries spent hidden from the Above World, her colony’s survival is at risk. The Kampii’s breathing necklaces are failing, but the elders are unwilling to venture above water to seek answers. Only headstrong Aluna and her friend Hoku are stubborn and bold enough to face the terrors of land to search for way to save their people. But can Aluna’s fierce determination and fighting skills and Hoku’s tech-savvy keep them safe? Set in a world where overcrowding has led humans to adapt — growing tails to live under the ocean or wings to live on mountains — here is a ride through a future where greed and cruelty have gone unchecked, but the loyalty of friends remains true.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book demonstrates a lifestyle in which Jesus is central. The author shows how by attaching yourself to Him, you become increasingly fi lled with the Spirit. Since in this way Jesus can work from within you, it leads to the manifestation and recognition of Christ in your life. Life in the Spirit challenges us to an adventure because it is so surprisingly opposite to what is generally the norm within our Christian world. This is not a way of assignments, methods, standards, and criteria. On the contrary. It is a life in the freedom of the Spirit, a life that brings you out into a broad place within the Spirit, a life in which your own identity can bloom and in which Jesus can be followed without any inhibitions. It ends up being a life saturated by love from Above. In an enthusiastic way, with practical examples, the author describes what it means to live by the Spirit of Christ. This book incites and inspires us to walk that way from Above ourselves. J.M. (Jolanda) Berendrecht (1973) graduated as a lawyer and works as a policy advisor at the Dutch national government. She is also co-pastor of Het Bedehuis (The Prayer House) in The Hague, The Netherlands. She has a passionate desire for a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit in The Netherlands. Her prayer is that Christians will become one with Jesus in such a way that He will become visible in them.
