An estranged family of four and some friends find themselves transported to a different world where they find themselves fighting for not only their lives but for the lives of others—the Flow Born. The power-generating solar facility Solaron in Deventon, Texas, needed an upgrade. When the upgrade showed signs of failure, project team members Cejay, Santos, and Toby scrambled to meet the deadline. But even with the help of Cejay’s family, they could not overcome the system errors. At the same time, a weather anomaly invades the solar field area Looking Glass. Just before the anomaly, Cejay and his son, Dave, see images—shadows—of beings in battle with one another. And the group was gone. They left their work. They left their city. They left their homes. But where were they? Communication worked differently. Long-distance travel worked differently. Their need for food and water behaved differently. Animal and insect life existed differently. Plant life appeared different and responded differently. But most of all, the water of the Enzolion River was different. Their enemies, however, acted normally—they still pursued Earth Born and Flow Born, no matter what, no matter the pain.

Fernando first sees Marlena across the Piazza San Marco and falls in love from afar. When he sees her again in a Venice café a year later, he knows it is fate. He knows little English; she, a divorced American chef traveling through Italy, speaks only food-based Italian. Marlena thought she was done with romantic love, incapable of intimacy. Yet within months of their first meeting, she has quit her job, sold her house in St. Louis, kissed her two grown sons good-bye, and moved to Venice to marry “the stranger,” as she calls Fernando. This deliciously satisfying memoir is filled with the foods and flavors of Italy and peppered with culinary observations and recipes. But the main course here is an enchanting true story about a woman who falls in love with both a man and a city, and finally finds the home she didn’t even know she was missing.

An extraordinary journey alongside America's new generation of Eagle Scouts, who are discovering their purpose and bringing the values of Scouting to the world. Over the past century, Scouts have helped to guide the course of American history. But what does Scouting and the Eagle badge mean to the Scouts of today? How will they shape the future of Scouting and America itself? In Spirit of Adventure, Scouting expert and Eagle Scout Alvin Townley finds the answer. Townley traveled across the country and to the far corners of the globe to meet these young Eagle Scouts. He found them everywhere, continuing the life of adventure and service that they had begun in Scouting. He discovered them in Afghanistan providing medical care to villagers, in Australia saving coral reefs, at the Super Bowl and Olympic venues striving for victory, on desert cliffs and at inner-city schools teaching new lessons, in Africa bringing hope to children, and on the windswept deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz preparing for takeoff. Whether doctors, activists, servicemen, entrepreneurs, or teachers, these young men are changing the world through bold actions that capture the essence of the Scouting tradition. In Spirit of Adventure, Townley answers important questions about the future of Scouting and America, while revealing stories of service, courage, and pure excitement that introduce our nation to an inspiring new generation of leaders.

Jesus Christ Comes Very Soon explains that the Lord Jesus Christ comes quickly, more than we expect. The Day of the Lord will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the earth. And the Word of God says, "He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My Reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work."
