Sinopse

In the year 2073, the world as we once knew it has vanished. A devastating plague, known as the Scarlet Plague, has wiped out civilization, leaving only a handful of survivors who now wander through a desolate and primitive landscape.

James Howard Smith, an elderly man who lived through the days before the catastrophe, recounts his story to his grandchildren, offering them a window into the past and the rise and fall of humanity. In a setting where nature has reclaimed its dominance, Smith struggles to impart the lessons of the past to a new generation that can barely comprehend the magnitude of what has been lost.

Jack London takes us on a profound journey through time and memory, exploring the fragility of civilization and the resilience of the human spirit. With his powerful and evocative narrative style, The Scarlet Plague is a haunting reflection on survival, memory, and the future of humanity.

And sometimes he needs his gun to do so. Carter's current mission leads him to Providence, Rhode Island, but his delivery is interrupted when he comes across a woman badly injured in a car wreck in the pouring rain. Then a man with a gun appears warning Carter away from the scene and Carter leaps into action, disarming the attacker and rescuing the crash victim.Just as Carter thinks the danger has passed, he discovers a deeper mystery stemming from the crash, a deadly puzzle involving a memorable pair of grifters, a crooked ex-cop, stolen identities, human trafficking, and murder. And it appears that Carter's next assignment will put him right in this conspiracy's perilous center . . .The follow-up to last year's acclaimed hit, The Mailman, which launched the Mercury Carter series, The Delivery is a fast-paced, unpredictable thriller following a memorable protagonist whose resourcefulness is matched only by his quick wit and determination to never miss a delivery.

    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a nineteenth-century German philosopher. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, using a distinctive German language style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. 
     
    Thus Spake Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra), is a work composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same", the parable on the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Overman, which were first introduced in The Gay Science. Described by Nietzsche himself as "the deepest ever written", the book is a dense and esoteric treatise on philosophy and morality, featuring as protagonist a fictionalized Zarathustra. A central irony of the text is that the style of the Bible is used by Nietzsche to present ideas of his which fundamentally oppose Judaeo-Christian morality and tradition

    The kind of worship leader God seeks. They lead teams not with control, but with love. They foster unity, speak life, and model servant-heartedness. They are the first to pray, the first to repent, the last to seek credit. In their private battles and public roles, they echo the heart of David: shepherds with integrity, leaders with skillful hands. This is the kind of worship leader God desires. And this is the kind of worship leader He is raising up in our generation—not through fame, but through faithfulness
