The last two entries into the Sons of Ares had Fitchner on his heels. In the first, he was driven by love and desperation to save his wife Brynn before her execution at the hands of the Board of Quality Control. Then, in book two, Fitchner went head to head with both of his early allies — Arturius and Quicksilver. His wrath left Arturius dead and set back Quicksilver’s dream of expanding exploration and human habitation to other stars. In Forbidden Song, Ares may not always be in control. But he has a plan — and it’s a doozy.

This is what the church needs today. It needs men of steely resolve, unshakable discipline, and unbridled optimism. We need men with an absolute obsession with the fundamentals. This will not cap our growth or limit our ability to speak into everything; rather, quite the opposite. This will remove all caps on our growth and will allow the gospel to permeate every area of our lives. What we need is grizzled and gruff men of lore to come before us and hold up an old, well-worn leather Bible in their right hand and say, “Gentlemen, this is the gospel! ”

Do you want to play the game of life? Ecclesiastes is going to show us how to do this in a fallen world where things often don’t make sense and are messed up. For many, if not most, the book of Ecclesiastes is an enigma, packaged as a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, and then placed in some Russian dolls before it is locked up in Pandora's Box. “The Preacher” takes us on a journey from birth to death, running the whole gauntlet of life. Mysterious and challenging, this book is meant to be wrestled through as we discover that God is the answer to every longing of the soul.

Matt and Sam never could refuse a damsel in distress, so a whole coach load of lovelies, lead by the fetching Charity McKenzie, seems like a gift from heaven. But if it looks too good to be true, it usually is — and in short order the blood will start to flow. Matt and Sam rush in anyway and faster than you can say “soiled doves,” they’re up to their necks in trouble.

Conversations with Meister Eckhart is an imagined conversation with this 13th-century mystic, around such themes as detachment, which he famously placed above love; spirituality; God; the soul; and suffering. But while the conversation is imagined, Eckhart's words are not; they are authentically his own.

When most think of Tolstoy, they think of the great author. For his last 30 years, however, Tolstoy walked a different track. In Conversations with Leo Tolstoy, Simon Parke grants us the honour of sitting with the great man, towards the end of his life, and gives us the chance to chat with him. The conversation is imagined, but not Tolstoy’s answers. This is Tolstoy is his own words, drawn from his extensive books, essays, and letters.

Judah was a hot mess. The leadership was corrupt, the religious establishment was compromised, and foreign nations were gaining in strength. Habakkuk cried out to God to cleanse and redeem his people and to make his nation great again. Through a series of dialogues, we see faith in action as the prophet wrestles with the sovereignty of God. None of this would change his circumstances, but it would change his perspective on them and give him a place to stand as judgment was sure to come.

This book is written for normal working-class guys, who know something is desperately out of whack regarding the church and our culture. This book is an attempt to say, this is why, and this is how you fix it. It begins with you, your wife, your children, your household and your lineage. It begins by making the patriarchy great again. However, in so doing, you should also know that I fully intend on pissing all over every idol that stands opposed to that, particularly, feminism. You’re welcome!

There are no “how-to’s” to be found anywhere in this book. I am not a contractor, or a tradesman, I’m just a tinkerer who tinkers a lot. This book is simply a series of meditations on Christ and life related to our homes and home renovation. Even though life isn’t put together with 2x4’s many of the principles derived and lessons learned, and reflections given, will apply to a great multitude of areas in your life.

Jonah is not about a big fish, but a big God. Jonah is not about an angry prophet, but about a God who is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Jonah is not about a prophet who goes down to Sheol, but a God who brings the dead to life. Jonah is not about Nineveh that great city, but about a God who is the Conqueror of kingdoms and the Ruler of nations. Jonah is not about a prophet who flees, but a God who pursues. Jonah is not about a king who puts on sackcloth, but about a God who takes on flesh.

The Spencer family is part of a wagon train passing through Chugwater, Wyoming, bound for the valley of Longshot Basin. Unfortunately, the trail that leads there has been buried under an avalanche. The only route the homesteaders can take is the infamous Nightmare Trail—a treacherous, terrifyingly steep and narrow mountainside path that has claimed many lives. If that wasn’t dangerous enough, the trail is also a killing ground for the outlaw Hardcastle gang. The disreputable Arkansas Ozark clan don’t take kindly to anyone trespassing on their road without paying—in blood.
