  Seven fictional stories―Captain America, Iron Man, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Batman, and Wonder Woman―point us to the ultimate hero, Jesus Christ.Think about it. What if Batman knew your name and wanted to be friends with you? What if you were the one that Tony Stark died to save? What if it was you that Luke Skywalker would stop at nothing to redeem? Hollywood Heroes will awaken you to these questions and help you to see a God who stops at nothing to redeem you. And it will strengthen you to invite others into conversations of faith and life in Jesus.Fictional stories about heroes help us realize that there is evil to fight, souls to be won, and growth to be achieved. It helps us recognize―regardless of religious or cultural beliefs―that sacrificing your life for another’s is a powerful and beautiful display of love.Fictional heroes help us to reconsider what is tangibly in front of us through the lens of story rather than simply as just another day in our ordinary lives. Appealing straight to the heart, the stories bypass artificial barriers that we would normally block them with because our worldview has been threatened.When we examine out-of-this-world qualities like idealism, genius, a willingness to sacrifice, discipline, loyalty, humility, courage, wisdom, focus, power, and love, we discover that Jesus practices them perfectly.

  Becoming Batman - The...

  Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: Could a mortal ever become Batman? 
   
   
   
  Zehr discusses the physical training necessary to maintain bad-guy-fighting readiness while relating the science underlying this process, from strength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertaking such a regimen. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve, Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained person could handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick, and the number of adversaries that individual could dispatch. He also tells us what it would be like to fight while wearing a batsuit and the amount of food we'd need to consume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City's guardian. 
   
   
   
  A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable—though extreme—level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.

  ""Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", commonly known as "Alice in Wonderland", is an 1865 English children's novel written by Lewis Carroll, a mathematics don at Oxford University. The story follows a young girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a whimsical and fantastical world inhabited by anthropomorphic creatures. This novel is a prime example of the literary nonsense genre.    In this captivating tale, Alice encounters peculiar characters such as the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts. The narrative plays with logic, creating a delightful blend of absurdity and imagination. The artist John Tenniel provided 42 wood-engraved illustrations for the book, which have become iconic.    "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" received positive reviews upon its release and is now one of the best-known works of Victorian literature. Its influence extends far beyond the pages of the book, shaping popular culture and inspiring adaptations for screen, radio, art, ballet, opera, musicals, theme parks, board games, and video games. Carroll's sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass", continues Alice's adventures in another whimsical realm.    This timeless classic invites readers of all ages to explore a world where imagination knows no bounds."
