  "This absolute gem of a novel sparkles with creativity."--Booklist starred review 
   
  It is 1903, and Lily Temple is a beautiful silent-film actress who spins fairy tales and plays frivolous roles in front of the cine-camera. But beneath the costumes and stage makeup is a woman with a quick wit, a murky past, and a tantalizing secret.  
   
  Underground investigator to the wealthy, Peter Driscoll has been tasked with locating the legendary Briarwood Teardrop, an exquisite sapphire that has been missing for years--and which Lily happens to be wearing beneath her gown. In order to stay close to her and unravel the mystery, Peter employs the enchanting actress's help on a case.  
   
  But as they are investigating together, Peter is also investigating Lily. The closer he gets to the truth, the more danger they face. And the closer he gets to Lily, the clearer it becomes that he needs her even more than she needs him. 
   
  "This is a fascinating look at silent film, the power of story, and God's pursuit of lost children."--Library Journal 
   
  "Rich with biblical allusions . . . Readers will be kept guessing through the many twists and turns."--Publishers Weekly

  Defeat the devil every time he attacks. 
  Many people today believe the devil does not exist. They think he is merely an ancient myth or a metaphor to explain the presence of evil in our world. However, the Bible clearly teaches that Satan is very real–and that he will stop at nothing to bring about our destruction. That’s the bad news. But as Dr. Charles Stanley explains in Overcoming the Enemy, the good news is that Jesus Christ has already defeated the devil–utterly, permanently, and irrevocably. While this does not mean we will never be confronted with his evil, we have the promise that in Christ we will always have the victory over him. 
  The Charles F. Stanley Bible Study Series is a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action. Each study draws on Dr. Stanley’s many years of teaching the guiding principles found in God’s Word, showing how we can apply them in practical ways to every situation we face. This edition of the series has been completely revised and updated, and includes two brand-new lessons from Dr. Stanley. 
  Each lesson includes:Overview: A brief look at what is covered in the lessonLife’s Questions: A teaching from Dr. Stanley that unpacks the topic of the lessonLiving the Principle: Application and Bible study questions based on the key pointsReflection: Key takeaways to put into practice today and tomorrow

  Reformation is the continual reforming of the mission of the church to enhance God’s command to reach out to others in a way that acknowledges the unique times and locations of daily life.  This engaging book blends the integrity of respected theoreticians with the witty and practical insights of a pastor.  It calls for a movement of missionaries to seek the lost across the street as well as across the globe.This basic primer on the interface between gospel and culture highlights the contrast between presentation evangelism and participation evangelism.  It helps Christians navigate between the twin pitfalls of syncretism (being so culturally irrelevant that you lose your message) and sectarianism (being so culturally irrelevant that you lose your mission).  Included are interviews with those who have crossed cultural barriers, such as a television producer, exotic dancer, tattoo studio owner, and band manager.  The appendix represents eight portals into the future:  population, family, health/medicine, creating, learning, sexuality, and religion.Mark Driscoll was recently featured on the ABC special The Changing of Worship.

  Christianity Today Award of Merit
  Today's cosmopolitan, multicultural, and multifaith environments call for new approaches to apologetics. The world still needs the good news of Jesus Christ, but to relate the transcultural gospel to diverse and ever-changing contexts, we must free Christian apologetics from dominant Western habits of mind ill-suited to interreligious dialogue. We must listen and speak with both humility and confidence.
  Benno van den Toren and Kang-San Tan provide a global, intercultural introduction to Christian apologetics. They present a model of apologetics as crosscultural dialogue and accountable witness, then explore how it plays out in relation to specific contexts and the major world religions—including primal religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, secularism, and late-modern spiritualities. Building on recent developments in apologetics and missiology, as well as their experience teaching internationally in Europe, Asia, and Africa, Van den Toren and Tan offer an approach that is conversational, patient, holistic, and embodied.
  Filled with examples from Scripture and real-world experiences, Humble Confidence gives readers a travel guide to help find the most effective avenues for true dialogue in their own settings.

  Priests and Politicians - The Mafia of the Soul
  How politics and religion conspire against humanity
   Introduction by Maneesha James. 
  "For five thousand years the politician and the priest have been in the same business."
  During his stay in the United States at the time of the Ronald Reagan administration, Osho continues his public talks after a more than three-year period of silence. In his talks he continues to speak of personal transformation and the significance of meditation in daily life. In addition, he also talks extensively on social and political issues, which seem to be more contemporary than ever today.
  "Priests and Politicians – The Mafia of the Soul" is a title Osho gives to a book after his return to India. Bearing the same title, this audiobook features related original excerpts from his talks on this subject. We are invited to look through his microscope to examine not only the profound influence of religion and politics in society, but also its influence in our inner world. 
  We have been brainwashed by priests and politicians, internalizing and adopting their views and values as our own.  According to Osho the belief systems of the "powers that be", have imprisoned us, tragically crippling our vision of what is actually possible.  Thus, unaware of our real potential, we keep only digging ourselves deeper into the mess we are in. Osho's vision for humanity is that a new kind of world is possible — but only if we understand clearly how the old has functioned up to now. And, based on that understanding, we take the responsibility and the courage to become a new kind of human being.
  Priests and politicians are the "professionals" that people usually turn to for help. Osho, in his unique way, exposes both of them as the "real criminals", working hand-in-hand against the interests of humanity and of individuality.
  In Osho's words: "You have to be aware who the real criminals are. The problem is that those criminals are thought to be great leaders, sages, saints, mahatmas. So, I have to expose all these people because they are the causes. For example, it is easier to understand that perhaps politicians are the causes of many problems: wars, murders, massacres, burning people. It is more difficult when it comes to religious leaders, because nobody has raised his hand against them. They have remained respectable for centuries, and as time goes on, their respectability goes on growing. The most difficult job for me is to make you aware that these people — knowingly or unknowingly, that does not matter — have created this world."
  This audiobook consists of nine chapters:
  
  - Chapter 1 Politicians the Successful Criminals
  - Chapter 2 People on a Power Trip
  - Chapter 3 Separation of the Church and the State
  - Chapter 4 Religion Is an Inquiry into Truth
  - Chapter 5 Love Is the Center of the Universe
  - Chapter 6 Happiness Attracts Happiness
  - Chapter 7 Government Is a Condemnation of Every One of Us
  - Chapter 8 Tyrants Talk the Most About Peace and Freedom
  - Chapter 9 America Behaved with Me and My People like Cowards
  These talks are a selection of excerpts from the original series previously published as "From Darkness to Light" and "Satyam Shivam Sundaram" by Osho.
