THE EXPLOSIVE SECOND COLLECTION IN THE NEXT GREAT DETECTIVE SERIES. ★★★★★ "A worthy successor to Robert Parker and his Spenser books." Book Four - Aces Full Mack is back, alongside trusty cohort Manny the marshal and dubious associate Marcus the underworld boss. Grady Huff, a wealthy and insufferable pain in the neck, killed his cleaning lady and confessed to the crime.

That is, until Veronica Summer's fiancé arrives in Roanoke and joins the prosecution... Darren Robbins has more on his mind than just convicting Grady--he's come to collect Veronica. And he's come to settle things with Mackenzie, a reckoning that will certainly spill violence into the streets. ★★★★★ "Parker, Spillane, Sue Grafton, Raymond Chandler...Alan Lee will soon be in their company." Book Five - Only the Details Mackenzie August is a married man, a fact he's stunned to learn about himself. Matrimonial bliss will have to wait, however, as danger comes knocking. Arch nemesis Darren Robbins submerges Mack into the dangerous underworld of the Camorra in Naples, Italy, as retribution for his many sins against the District Kings. If he ever wants to get back to his son and new bride, Mack will have to fight his way out... ★★★★★ "I read these in one sitting. Honestly I can't stop!" Book Six - Good Girl Mackenzie August returns from Italy, battered, bruised, and unbroken. Also married. Mostly. A new client waits for him--Ulysses Steinbeck, a man who's lost his dog and wants it back. What makes this case so compelling for Mackenzie? Two things. 1) Steinbeck has anterograde amnesia and can't remember owning the dog; in fact, he hates them. 2) The dog holds the key to a fortune. ★★★★★ 'Jack Reacher with a wicked sense of humor.'

Apocalypse When?
Author: Leah D. Schade
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725262495
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Apocalyptic texts are often seen as either frightening or irrelevant, a tool for fearmongering and manipulation or for the lucrative doomsday industry. But Apocalypse When?: Interpreting and Preaching Apocalyptic Texts equips readers to understand these texts as sources of encouragement and strength for the church. As the world faces threats of war, poverty, climate and environmental crises, and political upheaval, churches can draw on the wisdom and courage of our biblical ancestors who faced their own calamities and persecutions. Their struggles against powerful economic, militaristic, cultural, and social forces drew them closer to God. We have much to learn from their faith, ethical integrity, and dedication to the promises of God that engender hope in the midst of turmoil and terror. With solid historical exegesis, thought-provoking ideas for preaching, and examples of sermons that creatively and compellingly proclaim God's word, this book provides much-needed guidance for the church in tumultuous times.

Paul Rusch in Postwar Japan
Author: Andrew T. McDonald
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813176085
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Paul Rusch first traveled from Louisville, Kentucky, to Tokyo in 1925 to help rebuild YMCA facilities in the wake of the Great Kanto earthquake. What was planned as a yearlong stay became his life's work as he joined with the Japan Episcopal Church to promote democracy and Western Christian ideals. Over the course of his remarkable life, Rusch served as a college professor and Episcopal missionary, and he was a catalyst for agricultural development, introducing dairy farming to highland Japan. In Paul Rusch in Postwar Japan, Andrew T. McDonald and Verlaine Stoner McDonald present Rusch's life as an epic story that crisscrosses two cultures, traversing war and peace, destruction and rebirth, private struggle and public triumph. As World War II approached, Rusch battled racial prejudice against Japanese Americans, yet also became an apologist for Japan's expansionist foreign policy. After Pearl Harbor, he was arrested as an enemy alien and witnessed the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. Upon his release to the US in 1942, he joined military intelligence and returned to Japan in that capacity during the US occupation. Though Rusch was of modest origins, he deftly climbed social and military ladders to befriend some of the most intriguing figures of the era, including prime ministers and members of the Japanese royal family. Though he is perhaps best remembered for introducing organized American football in Japan, his greatest legacy is the founding of the Kiyosato Educational Experiment Project (KEEP), a vehicle for feeding, educating, and uplifting the rural poor of highland Japan. Today his legacy continues to inspire KEEP in the twenty-first century to promote peace, cultural exchange, environmental sustainability, and ecological preservation in Japan and beyond.
