Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
“Kraus gets under your skin with brutal, elegant efficiency. Necessarily horrifying, devastatingly timely.”—Kiersten White, New York Times-bestselling author of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein and Slayer From New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus comes a breakneck, genre-defying YA thriller perfect for fans of Kiersten White, Neal Shusterman, and M. T. Anderson. Liv Fleming’s father went missing more than two years ago, not long after he claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Liv has long accepted that he’s dead, though that doesn’t mean she has given up their traditions. Every Sunday, she and her lifelong friend Doug Monk trudge through the woods to check the traps Lee left behind, traps he set to catch the aliens he so desperately believed were after him. But Liv is done with childhood fantasies. Done pretending she believes her father’s absurd theories. Done going through the motions for Doug’s sake. However, on the very day she chooses to destroy the traps, she discovers in one of them a creature so inhuman it can only be one thing. In that moment, she’s faced with a painful realization: her dad was telling the truth. And no one believed him. Now, she and Doug have a choice to make. They can turn the alien over to the authorities...or they can take matters into their own hands. On the heels of the worldwide success of The Shape of Water, Daniel Kraus returns with a horrifying and heartbreaking thriller about the lengths people go to find justice and the painful reality of grief. “Bent Heavens is the darkest, angriest alien horror story that I've ever encountered. Hell. Yes.”—Stephanie Perkins, New York Times-bestselling author of There's Someone Inside Your House

Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
To everyone who will purchase and read this book. All words, thoughts, and concepts are for you. I pray that it is not just another book but a revelation to those who need to know how to navigate trials in their lives. A comfort to those that need to know everything will be ok. This book is also for those who need to know God has plans for their lives, and He’s on the job. And most importantly, to God who elected and selected me before the earth was even formed. Who fashioned and purposed me even while I was in my mum’s womb. This book would not be possible if You did not deposit it into my spirit and anoint me with the gift to teach. I offer this back to you as an offering of what you have given me, and I know it’s just the beginning of the many books locked away in my heart. I’m nothing without You, and I only wrote this book because You predestined it. Thank You for making this book a reality even before it was published. I love all of you, and this is for you!

The Cross Trap
Author: Elmer M. Haygood
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1440176264
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
The Cross Trap is a re-evaluation of the events surrounding the Crucifixion to show that they were not isolated occurrences but part of a well conceived conspiracy to send the Son of God back to God as a sinner. The scriptures focus on the religious leaders' opposition to Jesus' status as an authoritative teacher; however, the underlying focus of Satan was on Jesus as the perfect sacrificial Lamb for the remission of sin. Even though the religious leaders did not understand or believe Jesus' primary role as the savior, Satan certainly had a good understanding of it. The conflicts Jesus experienced in his ministry are only the finale of the anger that had festered in the spiritual world since his birth. Death for Jesus was not enough. His sanctity as the Lamb of God had to be destroyed, thus making him an unworthy sacrifice. Why was Jesus' death by crucifixion? Was Judas given thirty pieces of silver for a kiss? Why did two thieves die with Jesus? Why was there vinegar and gall at the cross? Why did the soldier pierce Jesus with the spear? The Cross Trap will answer these questions and explain why the Crucifixion was a formidable and almost perfect trap.

On Heaven's Hill
Author: Kim Heacox
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company
ISBN: 151314135X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Finalist for the 2023 Banff Mountain Book Award for Mountain Fiction & Poetry An Anchorage Daily News Favorite Book of 2023 Kim Heacox, author of the National Outdoor Book Award-winning novel Jimmy Bluefeather, returns with a new, brilliant novel about family love and the lengths one will go to protect it. "A sprawling novel brimming with suspense, ideas and unforgettable characters, On Heaven's Hill paints a captivating group portrait of a rebel alliance discovering their true selves in America's most glorious natural landscape. This book will appeal equally to aging idealists reared on Edward Abbey and adventurous kids hooked on Gary Paulsen. Oh, and it's laugh-out-loud funny, too." —Mark Adams, New York Times bestselling author of Tip of the Iceberg and Turn Right at Machu Picchu "Kim Heacox poses the age-old question—what price progress?—with new urgency in On Heaven’s Hill, his compelling novel of an Alaskan hamlet whose remote location is no defense against big-money development. All that stands in its way is a pack of wolves and the twelve-year-old girl determined to save them. Reminiscent of John Nichols' The Milagro Beanfield War, Heacox deftly weaves lyrical tributes to the healing power of nature with a fast-paced plot that builds to a heart-pounding conclusion." —Gwen Florio, author of Silent Hearts and the Lola Wicks series The small town of Strawberry Flats sits on a remote Alaska coast, peacefully left to itself—until controversial plans for a road and a bridge threaten to upend everything. Former trapper Salt d’Alene never thought he’d find himself in the midst of such a dispute, but he’ll do anything to provide the best care for his son Solomon, recently diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Eleven-year-old Kes Nash just wants her father—back from war in Afghanistan—to be normal again. And circling the perimeter of the town is a wolf, Silver, and his pack, quietly watching. Told from three alternating perspectives, On Heaven’s Hill is a vividly powerful story about rediscovering hope and finding new life in the aftermath of trauma. Filled with humor and compassion, it depicts the best of America, a place composed of wildness and kindness.
