He thought Christianity was a sham. Then it changed his life. Skeptic Josh McDowell thought Christians were out of their minds. He ridiculed and insulted them, then decided to combat them with his own robust research to disprove the claims of Jesus Christ. To his surprise, he discovered that the evidence suggested exactly the opposite―that Jesus, instead of being simply a first-century Hebrew carpenter, was so much more. Josh went on to write this inspirational book on Christian apologetics, More Than a Carpenter, which has sold over 16 million copies and transformed countless lives. Now, in this revised and updated edition, Josh is joined by his son, Sean McDowell, as they tackle the questions that today’s generation continues to ask: “How do I find happiness and meaning in life?” “Is it really possible to know the truth about God and Jesus? “How can Jesus be the only way?” Whether you’re a spiritual cynic or a long-time Christian, experience a new perspective on faith through this bestselling, timeless classic on who Jesus really is.

The war is over. The battle for love has just begun. As Marines, Cal and Jim depended on each other to survive bloodshed and despair in the Pacific. Relieved to put the horrors of war behind him, Jim went home to his apple orchard and a quiet life with his wife and children. Knowing Jim could never return his forbidden feelings, Cal hoped time and an ocean between them would dull the yearning for his best friend. But when Jim's wife dies, Cal returns to help. He doesn't know a thing about apple farming—or children—but he's determined to be there for Jim, even as the painful torch he carries blazes back to life. Jim is grateful for his friend's support as he struggles with buried emotions and dark wartime memories. Then Jim begins to see Cal in a new light, and their relationship deepens in ways neither expected. Can they build a life together as a family and find happiness in a world that would condemn them?

El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha, often shortened to Don Quixote, is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. The story follows Alonso Quixano, a hidalgo (nobleman) from La Mancha, who, after reading chivalric romances, decides to become a knight-errant himself and sets out to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often uses a unique brand of down-to-earth wit in interacting with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues. Don Quixote examines themes of reality, perception, sanity, and the power of stories. It is a foundational work of modern Western literature and a lasting exploration of the human condition.

MP3 CD Format Endzone tells the story of how college football's most successful and respected program nearly lost it all in less than a decade, and entirely of its own doing. It is a story of hubris, greed, and betrayal, a tale more suited to Wall Street than the world's top public university. Author John U. Bacon takes you inside the offices, the board rooms, and the locker rooms of the University of Michigan to see what happened, and why, with countless eye-opening, head-shaking scenes of conflict and conquest. But Endzone is also an inspiring story of redemption and revival. When those who loved Michigan football the most recognized that it was being attacked from within, they rallied to reclaim the values that had made it great for over a century. The list of heroes includes players, students, lettermen, fans, and faculty—and the leaders who had the courage to listen to them. Their unprecedented uprising produced a new athletic director, and a new coach who vindicated the fans' faith when he turned down more money and fame to return to the place he loved most: Michigan.

With A Furious Sky, Eric Jay Dolin has created a vivid, sprawling account of our encounters with hurricanes, from the nameless storms that threatened Columbus's New World voyages to the destruction wrought in Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Weaving a story of shipwrecks and devastated cities, of heroism and folly, Dolin introduces a rich cast of unlikely heroes and puts us in the middle of the most devastating storms of the past, none worse than the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, which killed at least 6,000 people, the highest toll of any natural disaster in American history. Dolin draws on a vast array of sources as he melds American history, as it is usually told, with the history of hurricanes, showing how these tempests frequently helped determine the nation's course. Hurricanes, it turns out, prevented Spain from expanding its holdings in North America beyond Florida in the late 1500s, and they also played a key role in shifting the tide of the American Revolution against the British in the final stages of the conflict. As he moves through the centuries, following the rise of the United States despite the chaos caused by hurricanes, Dolin traces the corresponding development of hurricane science, from important discoveries made by Benjamin Franklin to the breakthroughs spurred by the necessities of World War II and the Cold War.

Bengtsson's hero, Red Orm—canny, courageous, and above all lucky—is only a boy when he is abducted from his Danish home by the Vikings and made to take his place at the oars of their dragon-prowed ships. Orm is then captured by the Moors in Spain, where he is initiated into the pleasures of the senses and fights for the Caliph of Cordova. Escaping from captivity, Orm washes up in Ireland, where he marvels at those epicene creatures, the Christian monks, and from which he then moves on to play an ever more important part in the intrigues of the various Scandinavian kings and clans and dependencies. Eventually, Orm contributes to the Viking defeat of the army of the king of England and returns home an off-the-cuff Christian and a very rich man, though back on his native turf new trials and tribulations will test his cunning and determination. Packed with pitched battles and blood feuds and told throughout with wit and high spirits, Bengtsson's book is a splendid adventure that features one of the most unexpectedly winning heroes in modern fiction.

La mejor de las novelas de Mario Conde: el asesinato de un exdirigente cubano en el momento de máxima efervescencia en Cuba con la visita de Barack Obama. «La más redonda, compleja y fascinante historia de Conde… Una excelente noticia para el género. No es fácil rematar una novela así.» Juan Carlos Galindo, El País (Babelia) «Un festín de personajes complejos llenos de vida.» José María Pozuelo, Abc Cultural «Padura refuerza su condición de gran novelista firmando un relato maestro.» Javier García Recio, El Periódico (Abril) «Dos historias que convergen y que vuelven a situar a Padura en la cumbre de la literatura latinoamericana actual.» Manuel Peris, Levante «Padura en estado de gracia... Una de las mejores historias de Mario Conde… Una novela redonda.» Pedro M. Espinosa, Diario de Cádiz «El mejor Leonardo Padura.» Diego Gándara, La Razón «Un ciclón azota al lector en las páginas de Personas decentes.» Felip Vivanco, La Vanguardia La Habana, 2016. Un acontecimiento histórico sacude Cuba: la visita de Barack Obama en lo que se ha llamado el «Deshielo cubano» ―la primera visita oficial de un presidente estadounidense desde 1928―, acompañada de eventos como un concierto de los Rolling Stones y un desfile de Chanel, ponen patas arriba el ritmo de la isla. Por eso, cuando un exdirigente del Gobierno cubano aparece asesinado en su apartamento, la policía, desbordada por la visita presidencial, recurre a Mario Conde para que eche una mano en la investigación. Conde descubrirá que el muerto tenía muchos enemigos, pues en el pasado había ejercido de censor para que los artistas no se desviaran de las consignas de la Revolución, y que había sido un hombre déspota y cruel que había acabado con la carrera de muchos artistas que no habían querido plegarse a sus extorsiones. Cuando unos días después se encuentra un segundo cadáver asesinado con el mismo método, Conde deberá descubrir si las dos muertes están relacionadas y qué hay detrás de estos asesinatos. A esa trama, se suma una historia que escribe el protagonista, situada un siglo antes, cuando La Habana era la Niza del Caribe y se vivía pensando en el cambio inminente que produciría el cometa Halley. Un caso de asesinato de dos mujeres en La Habana Vieja destapa la lucha abierta entre un hombre poderoso, Alberto Yarini, refinado y de buena familia, capo de los negocios de juego y de prostitución, y su rival Lotot, francés, que le disputa la preeminencia. El desarrollo de esos hechos históricos tendrá conexión con la historia del presente de un modo que ni el propio Mario Conde sospecha.

" Nationally bestselling author of The Music of Bees Eileen Garvin returns with a moving story of hope, healing, and unexpected friendship set amidst the wild natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Frankie O'Neill and Anne Ryan would seem to have nothing in common. Frankie is a lonely ornithologist struggling to salvage her dissertation on the spotted owl following a rift with her advisor. Anne is an Irish musician far from home and family, raising her five-year-old son, Aiden, who refuses to speak. At Beauty Bay, a community of summer homes nestled on the shores of June Lake, in the remote foothills of Mount Adams, it's off-season with most houses shuttered for the fall. But Frankie, adrift, returns to the rundown caretaker's cottage that has been in the hardworking O'Neill family for generations—a beloved place and a constant reminder of the family she has lost. And Anne, in the wake of a tragedy that has disrupted her career and silenced her music, has fled to the neighboring house, a showy summer home owned by her husband's wealthy family. When Frankie finds an injured baby crow in the forest, little does she realize that the charming bird will bring all three lost souls—Frankie, Anne, and Aiden—together on a journey toward hope, healing, and rediscovering joy. Crow Talk is an achingly beautiful story of love, grief, friendship, and the healing power of nature in the darkest of times. "
