Faith is easy-until life isn't.

With warmth, honesty, and a little humor, Even If invites you to explore a faith that doesn't flinch when life gets hard. It's not about having all the answers-it's about trusting that God does, even if the ending doesn't go the way you planned.

If you've been wrestling with the why, begging for the when, or doubting the how, this book will remind you that faith isn't about everything making sense-it's about standing firm in who God is, even if things around you are crumbling.

What do you do when the miracle doesn't come, the door doesn't open, and the happily ever after isn't yours? Even If is for every person who's ever whispered, "I trust You, God...but this hurts"-which, if we're honest, is most of us.

Life rarely sticks to the script. Just when you think things are going smoothly, boom-change, loss, heartbreak, or something else you didn't pencil into your calendar.

Even If is a heartfelt look at how to hold onto faith when life feels upside down, saying, "I trust You, God...even if I don't get the answer I want, even if the wait is long, and even if I feel like a mess."

Heather Sorenson shows that unwavering faith doesn't mean having it all together. It just means clinging to the One who does.

The Vorkosigan Saga: Two Tales

"Winterfair Gifts"

In the elaborate preparations for Lord Miles Vorkosigan and his fiancée Ekaterin's Winterfair wedding on their home planet Barrayar, not just Miles's friends but also his enemies are at work.

"The Flowers of Vashnoi"

Still new to her duties as Lady Vorkosigan, Ekaterin is working together with expatriate scientist Enrique Borgos on a radical scheme to recover the lands of the Vashnoi exclusion zone, lingering radioactive legacy of the Cetagandan invasion of the planet Barrayar. When Enrique's experimental bioengineered creatures go missing, the pair discover that the zone still conceals deadly old secrets.

Los cuentos de Siete Horizontal lo llevarán a un espacio donde el tiempo no se mide con reloj, sino con la obsesión de los recuerdos y el peso de las decisiones. En esta colección de relatos fantásticos, inquietantes y profundamente humanos, los personajes enfrentan destinos ineludibles, horrores inexplicables y misteriosas fuerzas que los condenan a enfrentarse con la sombra de su propia existencia.

Un niño aprende que la ciencia no siempre tiene todas las respuestas.
¿Qué secreto descubre una anciana al resolver un crucigrama?
Un viajero atrapado en su travesía de un mes de abril sin fin.
Un pródigo cineasta vive su propia historia de terror cuando asiste a su reunión de secundaria...y cuatro historias más que trazan una nueva frontera entre lo cotidiano y lo imposible, entre la duda y la certeza, y que lo obligaran a explorar las grietas de la realidad.

Siguiendo la tradición de los grandes narradores del realismo mágico, la literatura fantástica y la ficción especulativa, este libro nos sumerge en relatos donde lo cotidiano se tuerce hasta volverse irreal, y donde cada elección, cada segundo y cada error cobran un peso insoportable.
¿Es el tiempo el que nos atrapa, o somos nosotros quienes nos condenamos?

In a forgotten age, the old gods fell.

Zeus crushed the ancient Titans in a war that shook the heavens, then hurled the vanquished into Tartarus: an abyss of ice and torment buried far beneath the underworld itself, sealed forever. Or so he believed.

Now, high in Crete's mountains, archaeologists have unearthed a crumbling manuscript that promises whoever opens the gates to Tartarus will command the Titans: unstoppable beings capable of bringing the modern world to its knees.

Linguist Matt Kearns discovers irrefutable evidence that a reclusive billionaire believes the myth is real and plans to free the Titans.

Only one man can stop him: Alex Hunter, the legendary Arcadian, leading the elite HAWC commandos into the depths of the Earth to confront horrors never faced before. But victory demands the impossible - Alex must find and recruit Zeus himself.

In this thunderous collision of ancient myth and cutting-edge military fury, Greig Beck unleashes a relentless, blood-soaked epic tale that races from buried Tartarean ruins to the marble arenas of Olympus itself, leaving you breathless until the final, cataclysmic page is turned.

Hiring outcomes shouldn't "scatter evenly." Yet too many leaders are stuck on a revolving hamster wheel of recruiting, onboarding, and replacing, while trying to hit bigger goals with an unstable team.

The math ain't mathing.

In Hire Right. Keep Great People, Dr. Quendrida Whitmore, known as Coach Quen(R), gives overwhelmed people managers, directors, and HR leaders a practical, repeatable talent lifecycle model that transforms talent management from a yearly event into a daily operating system. Built for modern strategic human capital management, this end-to-end employee lifecycle playbook helps you stop "chemistry hires," reduce bias, improve retention, and build a leadership bench that lasts.

This isn't theory. It's a start-anywhere framework you can run immediately:

Attract → Select → Belong → Develop → Advance (with Reflection wrapping the whole process so you can fix what's broken right now and build a Culture of Development(TM) over time).

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Turn culture into a recruiting advantage with talent acquisition best practices that attract the right people (not just more applicants)
• Use a structured interview process with competency based interviewing and probe questions so you can make better hiring decisions and reduce costly misfires
• Reduce bias with "structure over subjectivity," including guidance on interviewing for culture fit vs skill and selection criteria you can defend
• Increase retention by building psychological safety at work and fostering a real culture of belonging, because onboarding isn't orientation
• Implement a strategic 30-60-90 day onboarding plan that accelerates contribution and helps you reduce employee turnover
• Develop people without becoming the bottleneck: coaching vs managing, feedback that lands, and individual development plans leaders actually use
• Handle performance slips with clarity and dignity using a manager-friendly performance improvement plan guide
• Build a leadership pipeline with succession planning, the 9 box grid talent assessment, sponsorship, and talent visibility so advancement is faster and fairer

Readers consistently describe this as a book you work with, not just read, a one-on-one coaching session in print, packed with vivid "Storytime" moments and tools you can apply immediately.

If you're ready to stop leading by accident and start leading with intention, this is your human-centered, ROI-smart talent management strategy for building a high-performing team and a leadership legacy you're proud of.

As the youngest sibling of his MudWing hatching, Umber doesn't have the responsibilities of his bigwings, Reed, nor the heroic destiny prophesied for his brother, Clay.

He was elected by the people. Removed by the powerful. Vindicated by the truth.

What does it cost a man to stand on principle when everything - his office, his reputation, his family - is on the line?

In the back rows, the elders sat calm and unmoving amid the tension. One white-haired woman met his eyes. She placed her hand over her heart and nodded once. Stay strong.

Patrick H. Lambert was raised in poverty on the Qualla Boundary, left high school without a diploma, worked underground tunneling for a hydroelectric pump station, and served his country in the U.S. Army. Through determination and sheer will, he earned a Juris Doctor from UNC Chapel Hill and an advanced LL.M. in Gaming Law - and was ultimately elected Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians by an overwhelming margin.

Then he ordered the audits.

As financial records were opened and questions were asked, resistance grew.

What followed became one of the most consequential - and contested - chapters in modern Cherokee governance.

In The River, Lambert recounts the rise, removal, and ultimate vindication that defined his time in office. With clarity and restraint, he tells the inside story of the era when the Tribe entered gaming, built the foundations of economic self-determination, and established its first Per Capita distributions - decisions that permanently reshaped Cherokee life. He had spent twenty-one years helping build that gaming infrastructure. He understood exactly what the audits would reveal - and ordered them anyway.

As Principal Chief, Lambert eliminated over one hundred twenty million dollars in Tribal debt, stabilized programs, strengthened families, and fought to establish transparency in a system where some had grown very comfortable in the shadows. When the political machinery moved against him, it moved fast and without mercy.

But leadership during moments of change carries a cost. Lambert writes candidly about the pressure of governing in turbulent times, the strain placed on his family, and the isolation that comes from standing on principle while facing public accusation and political upheaval. Behind every difficult decision stood his wife and children, who bore the weight of a fight that was never supposed to be theirs - and never wavered.

The enemies who moved against him believed the story would end in that chamber. They were wrong.

At its heart, The River is three stories woven into one: an unprecedented look inside the inner workings of a sovereign tribal government, a love story about a marriage and family tested by forces most couples never face, and ultimately a story of rebuilding - a man, a reputation, and a legacy - when the truth finally had its day.

This is also a Cherokee story. Not a story about Cherokee people told from the outside, but one written from deep inside - by a man who grew up on the Boundary, served his Nation, and refused to let its history be written by those who feared the truth more than they valued it.

Supported by contemporaneous records - including audits, court rulings, and official documents - The River is both a personal memoir and a historical record of a pivotal moment in modern Cherokee history.

For readers of political memoir, Native American history, and stories of leadership under fire, this book stands as a testament to resilience, responsibility, and the enduring power of truth.
