Grace is an average teenage girl with an average teenage life—quirky best friend, good grades, a crush on the popular jock at school—who has recently noticed some not-so-average changes. She wakes up in the morning with bags under her eyes, lifeless hair, and a hunger like she’s never had before. Her mother—former doctor and current personal chef to Gracie—insists that these changes are hormonal. But Grace is growing skeptical of her mom’s knowledge on the matter, especially after Grace willingly dines on Fluffy, the very delicious four-legged neighborhood feline. When her mom introduces Grace to Dr. Walker, he promises to help her curb her sudden craving for living things…in another country. Grace can’t leave her life behind, not when her long-time crush, Tristen, is finally showing some interest. But when a couple of serious crimes are committed—assault and murder—Grace must decide whether or not to run away. It may be the only way to protect the people she cares about…from herself.

The doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints is a cornerstone to Christian assurance. John Preston takes to task the false teachings of Arminius and demonstrates the error that people can hold themselves in God’s grace, or they can work to an end of salvation in their own strength. It is an exegetically sound treatise that covers both Arminianism and the Roman Catholic teachings that place “works” before grace. Preston covers how Irresistible Grace is sweet doctrine for the truly converted. He says that it is both imparted by God and received by us after a manner that is irresistible.

‘No one will invest in a business focussed on family violence – it’s the opposite of sexy.’ Lauren Brown, owner of Weeping Angels, smiled. ‘Maybe to men.’ Business is booming for Weeping Angels – an agency that helps victims of family violence obtain protection orders. Lauren, who ambitiously wants to fix the justice system, contacts journalist Grace (‘Ace’) Marks to increase pressure on the government. A woman who obsessively guards her privacy and her past, Lauren knows she will need to step out of the shadows where she has lived her entire life. When Lauren disappears after visiting a friend, and the police list her as ‘just another’ missing person, a mystified Grace investigates. But who is Lauren? Is that her real name? What sinister forces are at work in her disappearance? And why can’t the police find out where she lives? Grace, determined to discover what’s happened to Lauren, has a problem – where to start. “An intriguing thriller that also gives readers a realistic insight into the devastating problem of family violence in Aotearoa New Zealand.” — Women’s Refuge “Weeping Angels is a gripping thriller that shines a light on the tough topic of family violence, but in such an engaging way it will have you frantically turning the pages and cheering on the resourceful protagonists. Original and thought-provoking.” — NZ Booklovers

In Theology of Religions Graham Adams maps and analyses the field of ‘theology of religions’ (ToR) and its various typologies, examining the assumptions in how religion is assessed. The purpose is to identify how contributions to ToR select and deselect material and trajectories, editing according to presuppositions and interests. Adams’ analysis consciously relies on Andrew Shanks’ Hegelian notion of ‘truth-as-openness’ (divine hospitality) as it illuminates three dynamics, or ‘scandals’, within ToR. The first, concerned with how a religion’s particularity or identity is constructed, is subdivided between ‘particularity transcended’ and ‘particularity re-centred’, along the lines of Jenny Daggers’ postcolonial insights. The second concerns the interactions when one religion engages an Other’s strangeness, and the third is concerned with how religions aim to transform socio-political systems that feign or obstruct universality, so as to effect ever greater solidarity. The text notes key trends, beyond Christianity and including deepening interdisciplinarity, and potential developments from a critical but constructive standpoint.
