Book excerpt: One single moment, one simple decision, is all it takes for destiny to arise and transform a person's life. For Sebastian Petras, that fateful moment came soon after the Nazis occupied Athens. The decision to shelter British soldiers, who had been left behind enemy lines, forever changed not only his life, but the lives of everyone in his family.When Sebastian Petras discovered three British soldiers hiding in a park, he had no idea that his choice to assist them would cause his family to live the next several years with coded messages, secret rendezvouses, clandestine missions, and covert operations. Continually frightened the Gestapo would discover their secret, they never knew who they could trust. They soon learned that friends are often the worst enemies, and enemies are sometimes the best friends.While they suffered starvation, pain, and sorrow, their lives were not completely devoid of happiness. There was joy with every victory, no matter how small. Strong friendships, that would last long after the war was over, were formed. And deep, passionate love blossomed and grew during some of the darkest days.Greek Heart recounts the fear and bravery, the trust and deception, the hatred and love, experienced by one family while they did all they could to be free from the oppression of one of the evilest empires ever.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the critically-acclaimed author of House of Salt and Sorrows comes a mesmerizing and chilling fairy-talesque novel about Ellerie Downing, a young woman in a small town with monsters lurking in the trees and dark desires hidden in the shadows—in Amity Falls, nothing is more dangerous than a wish come true. Ellerie Downing is waiting for something to happen. Life in isolated Amity Falls, surrounded by an impenetrable forest, has a predictable sameness. Her days are filled with tending to her family's beehives, chasing after her sisters, and dreaming of bigger things while her twin, Samuel, is free to roam as he wishes. Early town settlers fought off monstrous creatures in the woods, and whispers that the creatures still exist keep the Downings and their neighbors from venturing too far. When some townsfolk go missing on a trip to fetch supplies, a heavy unease settles over the Falls. Strange activities begin to plague the town, and as the seasons change, it's clear that something is terribly wrong. The creatures are real, and they're offering to fulfill the residents' deepest desires, however grand, for just a small favor. These seemingly trifling demands, however, hide sinister intentions. Soon Ellerie finds herself in a race against time to stop Amity Falls, her family, and the boy she loves from going up in flames.

Download or read book Gift and Giver written by Craig S. Keener and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gift and Giver, leading New Testament scholar Craig Keener takes a probing look at the various evangelical understandings of the role of the Holy Spirit in the church. He explores topics such as spiritual gifts, the fruit of the Spirit, the Spirit's power for evangelism, and hearing God's voice. His desire is for Christians to "work for consensus, or at least for unity in God's work despite our differences on secondary matters." Employing a helpful narrative approach and an ample number of stories, Keener enters into constructive dialogue with Pentecostals, moderates, and cessationists, all the while attempting to learn from each viewpoint. He seeks to bridge the gap between cessationists and Pentecostals/charismatics by urging all Christians to seek the Holy Spirit's empowerment. His irenic approach to this controversial issue has been endorsed by charismatics and non-charismatics alike. Sure to provoke helpful dialogue on a topic that has caused unfortunate divisions within the church, Gift and Giver will be a valuable addition to college and seminary courses on pneumatology. It will also be helpful to lay readers interested in a balanced discussion of spiritual gifts. This repackaged edition includes an updated preface and a substantive new afterword.
