Synopsis

Part of the Hero Classics series 
Utopia is a distant island where the inhabitants are thriving and justice and reason prevail, in contrast to the realities of sixteenth-century Europe, where greed, superstition and unenlightened tradition reign. Using the framework of a traveller’s account to a fictional land, Thomas More created an ingenious treatise which envisioned a more humanist approach to laws and social structures, and coined the now common term “utopia”.

    What if everything you've been taught about life, happiness, and success is actually the very source of your suffering? 
    Do you ever feel like something essential is missing in your life, yet you can't quite pinpoint what it is? Or perhaps you believe that missing piece is just around the corner, waiting for you in your next endeavor, your next achievement, your next relationship. Are you waiting for a happy tomorrow to finally arrive? 
    Why does fulfillment always seem just out of reach? Why, despite moments of joy or success, does an underlying emptiness linger—hidden beneath fleeting pleasures? 
    What if everything you've been chasing—every desire, every accomplishment, every pursuit of success—has been keeping you trapped? What if the peace you seek has been within you all along, patiently waiting to be seen? And if you cannot find happiness today, what makes you believe it will suddenly appear tomorrow? 
    This book does not offer temporary comfort or easy answers. It is here to wake you up—to strip away the illusions that bind you to suffering and guide you toward a deeper truth. A place beyond suffering. Beyond the endless search for meaning. 
    Are you ready to let go of illusion? To see beyond the matrix? To see life as it truly is? 
    If something within you resonates with these words, perhaps it's time.

    Retired and relaxing at the pool on a hot, sunny Texas afternoon was the perfect way to start summer early. Life was perfect. 
    So they thought. 
    Clark and his wife, Jamie, are the proud parents of two adopted girls. Clark is a Christian who became a believer in adulthood. His faith has been his guide and was the foundation of how he and his wife raised the children. 
    Life was perfect. 
    Suddenly, life was not perfect. In fact, Clark and Jamie lived Job’s life from the Old Testament. It seemed as if everything around them was being taken from them. Life was no longer perfect. It was on that hot sunny day in Texas when their youngest daughter was ripped away from their family. Kidnapped! 
    This story is the true account of lies, deceit, delusions, and corruption. The belief in their justice system crumbled. Guilty! Before proven innocent is the new lay of the land. Evil is now disguised as what is called: “Protective Services” … Child Protective Services. 
    This book contains true facts and events that have been carefully checked and documented. Only the names have been changed. 
    Will Clark and Jamie ever get their daughter back? Or will they face more problems after challenging the system? What will happen to a disabled teenager lost in the system? Should Clark and Jamie just be quiet, or should they speak out? When did it become legal to kidnap a child? 
    This big question is: Is it right for them to confront the regime? 
    Life is not always perfect. 
    However, they have a perfect God.

    Famous Men of Greece

    Greeks were history’s great men of thought. John Haaren has collected stories from the lives of thirty famous Greek men, detailing the rise, Golden Age, and fall of Greece. Among these men are Aristotle, Ptolemy, Ulysses, Pericles, and Alexander the Great. Children will be delighted to read and understand why the scope of Greek accomplishment is still known today as the “Greek Miracle.” 
    This book provides a great introduction to ancient Greece, not only for children, but for adults who missed out on a classical education. The title (originally given when the book was first published in 1904) is a little misleading, as the book introduces gods and goddesses, as well as talking about the famous heroes and leaders of the former nation. However, the book is a very good resource to help both adults and children understand references in literature and elsewhere to these individuals who have had influence on our own stories and government.

    Shahbaz Taseer’s memoir of his five-year-long captivity at the hands of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. In late August 2011, Shahbaz Taseer was driving to his office in Lahore when he was dragged from his car at gunpoint and kidnapped by members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), a Taliban-affiliated Uzbek terrorist group. Shahbaz’s father, the late Pakistani governor, had recently been assassinated. His crime: speaking in support of a Christian woman who had been accused of blasphemy and sentenced to death. Though Taseer himself wasn’t much interested in politics, he was somewhat of a public figure, and he represented a more tolerant, internationally connected Pakistan that the IMU despised.What followed was nearly five years of torture and harrowing danger while Taseer was held captive, his fate determined by the infighting of the IMU, the Taliban, and ISIS. Lost to the World is his memoir of that time—a story of extraordinary sorrow but also of goodness and faith. While deeply dramatic, this tale is also comedic; for Taseer, humor, as much as the Koran, provided a light by which to see his own humanity, even under the most inhumane conditions, and to find a way back to his family.In a time when Western leaders use fear-mongering rhetoric to paint all followers of Islam as dangerous fundamentalists, Lost to the World illustrates the chasm between Muslim terrorists and ordinary Muslim citizens, and how terrorist organizations gain strength from the war on terror.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
