Book excerpt: Legendary quests of passion and courage have saved their world before . . . Will they be the first lovers to destroy it? Lajila's world is silent. She is a shapechanger who does not possess the magic of dreamsinging. How can such a weakling serve the ruler--the Tiria--of Gayome in a battle to restore the once-magnificent land to its former glory? In the midst of her doubts, a remarkable stranger appears in her village, and, to her shock, she can hear his thoughts. Kallen is one of the Palim, an ancient race whose gift is the ability to keep balance between Gayome and the rest of the universe. He's on a quest to find another of his kind--a search he fears might prove futile. From the moment they meet, Lajila and Kallen are bound together--but for good or evil? The strange alchemy between their mismatched gifts combines with undeniable passions that produce desires so hot that fire--real fire--is a result, leaving the Tiria's village in ruins and all food supplies destroyed. The lives of the people depend on Lajila and Kallen's strength to conquer the dangerous force that threatens them. Will they be the instrument of Gayome's final destruction . . . or vanquish the magical land's enemies in the ultimate victory?

Book excerpt: Learn how to better navigate the challenges of adult life with Gail Sheehy’s landmark bestseller—named one of the ten most influential books of our times by the Library of Congress.

She charts the stages between 18 and 50 as unfolding in a pattern of adult development: once recognized, more easily managed. Passages is an insightful road map of adulthood that illustrates with vivid stories our continuing personality and sexual changes throughout the “Trying 20s,” “Catch 30s,” “Forlorn 40s,” and “Refreshed (or Resigned) 50s.” One comment is continuously repeated by men, women, singles, couples, and people who recover from a midlife crisis: “This book changed my life.”

Download or read book A Curious Faith written by Lore Ferguson Wilbert and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God created us to be curious. We innately wonder about the world, one another, ourselves, and our Creator. But fear of the unknown, cultural taboos, technology, or even church leaders can smother our curiosity. Popular writer Lore Ferguson Wilbert has belonged to Christian communities that discouraged curiosity. The point of the Christian life was to have the right answers, and asking questions reflected a wavering faith. But Wilbert came to discover that the Bible is a permission slip to anyone who wants to ask questions. Reflecting her own theological trajectory toward a more contemplative, expansive faith, Wilbert invites readers to foster curiosity as a spiritual habit. This book explores questions God asks us, questions we ask God, and questions we ask each other. Christianity is not about knowing good answers, says Wilbert, but about asking good questions--ones that foster deeper intimacy with God and others. A Curious Faith invites readers to go beyond pat answers and embrace curiosity, rather than certainty, as a hallmark of authentic faith. Foreword by Seth Haines.
