In the magic lands of the Fae Wild, the Goblin King's virility is the lifeblood of the realm. But an insidious curse has put the kingdom on the precipice of a population panic. Enter Thomas Stone: architect, engineer, and unknowing half-blood heir to the goblin throne. Whisked away to a world where baby-making makes the world go round, Thomas finds himself in a pickle thicker than goblin stew. Birth rates are dropping faster than a fairy on a bad flight path, and it’s up to Thomas to save the fae from themselves.

Ezekiel Zane’s once-quiet retirement has rapidly become very complicated. His long-dead wife has returned as a banshee, and a manic-pixie goblin girl is working overtime to turn his life upside down. To make matters worse, a half-slime federal agent wants in on the action. The Fates have other ideas.

With the help of a mysterious ally, King Reginald sends a group of elite adventurers to attack the capital city. Surrounded by allies and fortified by his firm faith in those he loves, Thomas will do the unthinkable: join his people in the counter attack. But even if they can defeat the invasion of adventurers, the Goblin King will face an uphill battle.

Fresh Expressions is a canary in the coal mine, alerting congregations to reevaluate what the Church is, where and when it can happen, and who can lead it. Church as we know it is inaccessible to most people. A fundamental premise of the movement is that Church can become accessible again by emerging in every nook and cranny where life already happens. Fresh Expressions is based in simplification, returning to basic scriptural principles, and a recovery of a "priesthood of all believers" - in the three places where people live and relate to others.

Author Michael Cameron Adams has done something new. This exciting and action-packed novel uses fiction to look at the war America and its allies might have to fight in the near future—and the experiences that will happen during the war to the men and women who are now in the military or about to join it. What is new is that the author has done this by revising and setting into the immediate future War Breaks Out, a novel by Martin Archer about the harsh realities of a war that might have happened in the past. Much has been made of the advances in warfare and weapons and the changes in ...

Many Americans, argues Michael C. C. Adams, tend to think of the Civil War as more glorious, less awful, than the reality. In Living Hell, Adams tries a different tack, clustering the voices of myriad actual participants on the firing line or in the hospital ward to create a virtual historical reenactment. Neither film nor reenactment can fully capture the hard truth of the four-year conflict. Living Hell presents a stark portrait of the human costs of the Civil War and gives listeners a more accurate appreciation of its lasting consequences.

When we think of martial arts in “old China,” we get visions of violent convulsions of dynastic change, devastating rebellions, civil wars, and banditry. Throughout the centuries there was a need for masters who possessed highly effective martial skills for positions in the military, protection services, and law enforcement. Out of this historical reality emerged a national treasure we call taijiquan. Chen t’ai chi's mystique remains fundamentally a true fighting art, including bare-handed forms and applications, plus an arsenal of weapons that includes the spear, straight sword, ...

Despite the sensational nature of its subject, Devils and Demons and the Return of the Nephilim is written in simple, clear, rational language that relies 100 percent on the Bible as the ultimate authority. The book's teacher/pastor authors clear away centuries of confusion surrounding a subject that seldom comes up in modern sermons and Bible studies--or, if it does, is seldom dealt with correctly and coherently. The authors show how the ancient Hebrew language worked and explain what covenant is truly all about, presenting the Bible as a single book with a single message, cover-to-cover. ...

As Australia sank into the darkest days of the Great Depression, a succession of bloody mysteries grabbed headlines and gripped the country.
