Emmanuel Ortiz holds an ancient and dark secret... His real name is Judas Iscariot. Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, Judas’ disguised as Emmanuel does little to ease his eternal loneliness. Having recovered nine of his thirty blood coins, his focus is not yet on redemption for his treacherous role in the betrayal of Jesus Christ. Distractions come easily for the wealthy entrepreneur and occasional sleuth who presently resides in England, 1888. Fascinated by the spate of murders in London’s poverty-stricken Whitechapel, Emmanuel soon realizes the killings resemble others he...

There's an old clip of Bugs Bunny sawing the entire state of Florida off the continent - and every single time a news story springs up about some shenanigans in Florida, someone on the internet posts it in response. Why are we so ready to wave goodbye to the Sunshine State? In A Florida State of Mind: An Unnatural History of Our Weirdest State, James D. Wright makes the case that there are plenty of reasons to be scandalized by the land and its sometimes-kooky, sometimes-terrifying denizens, but there's also plenty of room for hilarity.

The Vietnam War is largely recalled as a mistake, either in the decision to engage there or in the nature of the engagement. Or both. Veterans of the war remain largely anonymous figures, accomplices in the mistake. Critically recounting the steps that led to the war, this book does not excuse the mistakes, but it brings those who served out of the shadows. Enduring Vietnam recounts the experiences of the young Americans who fought in Vietnam and of families who grieved those who did not return.

Fields of Gold tells the story of the remarkable beginnings of the Kazakh church in southern Kazakhstan. Working to introduce the good news of the Messiah Jesus in ...

Why would a Christian read the Qur’an? To criticize it? To convert to Islam? Many of my Muslim friends want me to read it because they believe the Qur'an is the most important book in the world. I don’t want to criticize the Qur’an. My purpose is to invite others on a quest for truth and respect. Far too often Muslims and Christians live in parallel universes. Reading the Qur’an can help build bridges of respect between one other. The Qur’an says “do not argue with the People of the Book except in the best way” (Surah 29:46 Al-Ankabut). "This can also be very readable to ...

A HOLIDAY STORY We’d put out a nice book: Alternative Holidays. It had a fancy cover. The stories a perfect fit. So I was sitting there. Basking in success. And a story skitters across the floor. And then another, and another... And then, a slight sobbing sound. Then there came a most tremulous voice. “We want a book cover too.” I reached down and picked up one of the stories. It settled in and started to purr. Then I picked up another, and another. They were so good. It was like the Island of Misfit Toys. Perfectly good stories that just had trouble fitting in. So I gave them a cover...

Summarizing an honest reading of the Qur'an, James Wright tackles fifteen of the most commonly asked questions Muslims present Christians. 1. How can Isa be the Son of Allah? 2.

If Christians do not believe the Qur’an how can they quote it? 5. Do Christians worship three gods (Allah, Isa & Miriam)? 6. Does eating pork and drinking wine make Christians unclean? 7. How can one man (al-Mesih Isa) die on the cross for all the sinners ...

As soon as he had the woman up and moving, he followed suit. He planted his hand on the railing, braced himself, then jumped up, twisting as he did so, landing on his backside on the metal railing, feet facing up toward the second floor. A spiral of lethal silk splattered on the steps and sparked in the exact spot he vacated a second ago.
