Book Description
Plunge into the pond and land in an alien world. When her grandmother dies, 13-year-old Christy inherits an old family secret: the pond behind her house is in fact a portal to another world. What's more, she learns that her grandfather went through the portal when he mysteriously disappeared nine years ago. As Christy undertakes an adventure into a wondrous and dangerous new world full of strange aliens and advanced technology, she’ll need to trust her instincts and rely on the unique abilities of her friends if she wants to lead everyone safely home. Book 1: Portal Through the Pond When Christy first learns of the portal in her backyard pond, she tries to honor her grandmother’s wishes to stay away. But when the local bully pushes her classmate in, she knows only she can rescue him. And maybe she can finally bring her grandfather home, since she’s there anyway… Book 2: Beyond the Portal Despite her parents forbidding Christy from returning to the Empty World, she knows it’s her fault her grandfather got captured by the hostile aliens called Ancients. So when 2 of her friends sneak off to see the world, Christy finds the excuse she needs to go back. Book 3: At the Portal’s End It seems like each time Christy goes to the Empty World, more goes wrong. But she still can’t stay away. This time, with the excuse of finding her dad and the detective, she ventures on a more dangerous journey and learns that there’s something more sinister about the Ancients’ plans for the other Empty World inhabitants than any of them suspected. Book 4: The Lost Portal As both Christy and the grown-ups scramble to help the other inhabitants of the Empty World stay clear of the Ancients’ genocide, they encounter an overgrown pyramid hidden in the jungle. As the last of his race, the pyramid’s guardian enlists their help to protect it. Because if the Ancients gain access to its secrets, no one on the Empty World will be able to hide from them… BONUS SHORT STORY: Christy’s Risky Recipe Back at home, Christy finds a piece of Empty World technology that just might be the key to saving her family’s struggling business—and their Christmas. Book 5: Portals in Peril The pyramid guardian never told Christy and her friends that the Empty World safeguards a piece of critical technology protecting the entire universe. Now they’re racing against a ticking clock of impending catastrophe. But the lead Ancient believes he’s found the key to conquering the Empty World once and for all. Since he won’t listen to reason, their only option is to steal the power source back…before it’s too late for the whole universe.

Book Description
The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, based on Simon Sinek's viral video "Millenials in the workplace" (150+ million views). Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last," he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

Book Description
A new commentary for today's world, The Story of God Bible Commentary explains and illuminates each passage of Scripture in light of the Bible's grand story. The first commentary series to do so, SGBC offers a clear and compelling exposition of biblical texts, guiding everyday readers in how to creatively and faithfully live out the Bible in their own contexts. Its story-centric approach is ideal for pastors, students, Sunday school teachers, and laypeople alike. Each volume employs three main, easy-to-use sections designed to help readers live out God's story: LISTEN to the Story: Includes complete NIV text with references to other texts at work in each passage, encouraging the reader to hear it within the Bible's grand story. EXPLAIN the Story: Explores and illuminates each text as embedded in its canonical and historical setting. LIVE the Story: Reflects on how each text can be lived today and includes contemporary stories and illustrations to aid preachers, teachers, and students. —1 & 2 Kings— While the book of Kings is interested in history, it is more concerned with theology. It narrates the story of God's relationship with his people over the course of the monarchy—how he judges his own people, even sending them into exile. Lessons from these narratives continue to challenge today's readers to obedience and exclusive worship of God. Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.
