Beyond the familiar lions' den and fiery furnace, much of the book of Daniel seems baffling to modern readers. The first half recounts stories full of ancient Near Eastern protocol and imperial court drama; the second half features apocalyptic visions of monstrous beasts and cosmic conflict. Many Christians misunderstand or simply avoid the book. But failing to read Daniel well means missing a critical part of God's message to us.

"Well-bred people arrive as nearly at the appointed dinner hour as they can. It is a very vulgar assumption of importance purposely to arrive half an hour behind time; besides the folly of allowing eight or 10 hungry people such a tempting opportunity of discussing your foibles." It may be 150 years since this essential etiquette bible was first published, but within its pages is timeless advice on all manner of matters, from the dinner table to marriage, and from smoking to fashion.

In a distant corner of the multiverse, The Omega King reigns supreme. He is the last of an ancient line, a ruler with the blood of Scottish kings and First Nations warriors running through his veins. But his power is not only in his lineage; it is in the revolver that can end anything, anywhere, and his unmatched intellect that sees all possible outcomes. Yet, a hidden truth lies in wait. A war is brewing, one that threatens every universe, every reality. And in death, The Omega King will rise again as The Crow, uniting godhood and mortality in ways no one can predict.

In their book, Phillip Longman and Ray Boshara show how today's progressives have much to learn from their counterparts of a hundred years ago.

The Bible and the Ballot demonstrates the proper use of scripture in contemporary political discussions. Christians regularly invoke the Bible to support their positions on many controversial political topics - gay marriage, poverty, war, religious liberty, immigration, the environment, etc. - and this book will help facilitate those conversations. Tremper Longman provides a hermeneutical approach to using the Bible in this manner, then proceeds topic by topic, citing important scriptures to be taken into consideration in each case and offering an evangelical interpretation.

Women don't take up triathlon in their 40s, right? Wrong! That was exactly what 41-year-old Debs did. Not caring that she was more than a bit on the heavy side, and diabetic to boot, she signed up for her first triathlon.

After Deborah's success at the Ironman, she needed another challenge. However, what could she do next? A drunken conversation in a pub resulted in her signing up to an Ultra Marathon.
