When Samaiya Mushtaq's husband considers joining a medical mission in Gaza, she must face the quiet terror of what it might cost them. As a physician, she understands his calling-but as a mother of two young children, she fears the unthinkable. What if he doesn't come back? In the face of uncertainty, they choose faith over fear: Mahmoud will go to Gaza; Samaiya will hold their lives together at home.

In Gaza, Mahmoud removes shrapnel, helps amputate limbs, and finds a colony of maggots in a wound that isn't healing properly. In Texas, Samaiya nurses their infant at night and spends her mornings wrangling their toddler before signing in to work, only to do it all again in the evening. Each night, Samaiya and Mahmoud connect through messages and calls. While he tells her about his patients and asks about the kids, she can hear air strikes in the background.

At once devastating and inspiring, A Beautiful Patience is a poignant memoir that explores our responsibility to our families and fellow humans, the power of trusting in God, and different ways to persist and resist against all odds.

A century has passed since the Phoenix Reborn, prophesied hero of the holy Oracle, defeated the Dark Lord and his dragonriders. The Book of Blank Pages chronicles how Emperor Artorus Erabos I shattered the spellforged blackhorns of the Dark Lord's pyromancers. Since that day, the heirs of the Phoenix Reborn have ruled the Third Empire of Aurelia in peace and harmony.And yet...Rumors have spread of late that old Artorus III-grandson of the Phoenix Reborn-has begun to lose his mind. Some say he consults with soothsayers and blind prophets rather than heeding the Oracle's holy wisdom; and though none would dare say it openly, the word "heretic" has passed through more than a few lips inside the royal halls of Aurora's Acropolis. What's worse with no son still living and Artorus yet to proclaim an heir, the dynasty of the Phoenix Reborn is plagued by uncertainty. Even the emperor's allies tire of his secrecy, concerned that the empire will crumble around them before they can face the darkness that Artorus swears is yet to come. But the emperor knows a horrible secret, something that could topple the very foundations upon which his throne rests. In the deep recesses of his empire, the blackhorns of the Dark Lord still sound...

How to rediscover happiness and reboot your life.

We are taught that the "right" career, the "right" marriage, and the "right" faith are the blueprints for a joyful life. Yet, for many, the reality is a persistent and gnawing sense that even after we've checked most of the proverbial boxes, something is still missing. So why do we keep doubling down on the scripts that fail to deliver on the promise of happiness?

In this provocative and conversational interrogation of modern life, C-suite executive, professor, and advisor Craig Robinson identifies three structural "pundits" that often hold our happiness hostage: career, faith, and relationships. Drawing on his research, years of professional coaching, and leadership experience, The Happiness Reboot explores how societal pressures and subconscious scripts keep us from feeling true fulfillment. Rather than offering a "get happy quick" formula, this book provides simple yet effective frameworks to replace your deepest-held convictions with a spirit of curiosity. It takes you on a self-guided journey through difficult introspective questions to help you discover your authentic truth.

For those who have tried to do everything "right" but still feel happiness eluding them, this book is the first step on your new path. Open it up, dismantle the status quo that's holding you back, and replant your roots in an authentic, sustainable, and fulfilling truth.

Call her Earth, or call her Gaia, years from now, our planet is almost uninhabitable as a result of environmental chaos and war. In the middle of the ocean, two small, conjoined islands still thrive and serve as home to a unique population of survivors, the Wiconi. These peaceful, agrarian-based islanders have genetically evolved affinities that allow them to influence earth, water, air, and fire, talents they use to protect and aid Gaia, the Earth Mother. They are her Guardians.

When three technology-laden ships from the dying outer world land on the islands, cultures collide. The newcomers, Terrans, build industries that quickly threaten the environmental health of the Wiconi lands. The island Guardians stage protests and increasing resistance to these destructive practices. The Terrans, blind to the dangers of their industrial expansion, put a bounty on the troublesome natives and begin hunting them like animals.

Calix, a young Wiconi boy, loses his parents, his memory, and the ability to speak all on the same day. Bounty hunters. An elderly Terran widow shelters him from the authorities. With her help, Calix works to reclaim his heritage and understand the elemental talents of his people and their catalyst flowers: the windflower for air, water lilies for water, red roses for fire, and the common dandelion for earth.

War is coming. Calix, his best friend, Brooke, and other talented Wiconi youth train hard to become Guardians. Can these young warriors heal the land and expel the Terrans? They are certainly going to try.

Fourteen-year-old Layla was supposed to get her braces off in two days. Instead, the world ended.

All Layla wants is to make comics with her best friend, avoid another fight with her mom, and see her older brother, Preston, come home from his grueling wilderness therapy camp. But when a mysterious virus sweeps across the country--turning people into violent, undead monsters--her mundane worries are replaced by a singular, desperate mission: get to Preston before the camp becomes his grave.

As the power grid fails and society collapses, Layla and her anxious, untrusting mother are forced into a perilous roadtrip to Oregon. But the road is crawling with more than just the infected. From eerie Wild West tourist traps to desolate salt flats, Layla must navigate a landscape where human desperation and the ghosts of familial resentment are just as destructive as the virus itself.

Told through the eyes of a girl witnessing the end of her childhood and the end of civilization alike, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD explores the messy endurance of motherly love and how far a family will go to find their way back to each other--and be forgiven. When the world breaks down, loyalty is the only currency left. But will it be enough to keep them together?

Sharmila Basu has curated the perfect life.He is the one variable she never planned for.

As an Indian American political journalist, Sharmila appears to be living the ultimate American Dream: a high-powered career, vintage wardrobe and a swanky home in the power corridors of Washington, DC. She lives with her boyfriend, America's reigning heartthrob and favourite TV news anchor Lionel Stern. Even Lionel's notoriously icy mother has welcomed her into the fold.

But for the daughter of an Indian Foreign Service attaché, who spent her childhood traversing the globe before finally settling in the US, predictable is a dangerous word and stability an illusion.

At a high-profile awards gala, Sharmila's orderly world is upended by a chance encounter with a group of vibrant Indian Americans - specifically, Jake Thacker. A math savant turned tech mogul, Jake possesses a gravitational pull that Sharmila can't ignore. Sparks fly. Lines blur. And suddenly, everything she has felt certain about feels negotiable.

As kismet begins to unravel her carefully constructed reality, a darker threat looms. Beneath Sharmila's poised exterior lies a secret from her past, one that no longer intends to stay buried. When her past threatens to become national headlines, Sharmila must decide if she is willing to let her world implode to finally find her own truth.

From the gala circuits of DC and the quiet porches of Iowa City to the sun-drenched streets of San Sebastian in Spain, this is a love triangle unlike any other.

One Life. One Mission. One Faithful Walk with God.

In the military, a roadmarch requires endurance, discipline, and unwavering commitment to the mission. The Christian life is no different.

In One Life Under God - Back to Faith: A Daily Roadmarch, retired United States Army Colonel Chels Chae invites readers to develop a disciplined and resilient walk with God through a structured daily devotional journey. Drawing from more than 30 years of military leadership and decades of ministry mentorship, Chae presents faith not as a momentary inspiration but as a daily commitment to trust, obedience, and spiritual growth.

Designed especially for active duty service members, veterans, and leaders, this 365-day devotional equips readers to build a consistent spiritual rhythm that strengthens faith and character.

Each daily "roadmarch" includes:

• Scripture - a guided reading plan that leads readers through the entire Bible in one year
• Observation - thoughtful insights drawn from Scripture and decades of leadership experience
• Application - practical steps for living out God's Word in everyday life
• Prayer - focused prompts to help develop a deeper and more consistent prayer life

Using the proven S.O.A.P. framework (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer), this devotional helps believers move beyond simply reading the Bible to actively living its truth.

Whether you are serving in uniform, leading in your community, or seeking a stronger and more disciplined faith, One Life Under God provides the structure and encouragement needed to stay faithful for the long march of life.

This devotional will help you:

• Develop a consistent daily devotional habit
• Grow in spiritual discipline and biblical understanding
• Strengthen your prayer life
• Apply Scripture to real-life leadership challenges
• Build perseverance, resilience, and godly character

Endorsed by respected leaders including Tony Dungy and retired U.S. Army generals Stephen Townsend, Benjamin Mixon, and Davis Valcourt, and featuring a foreword by Pastor Wayne Cordeiro, this devotional calls readers to a deeper commitment to Christ.

Faith is not built in moments of comfort. It is forged through daily obedience.

Take the next step in your journey.

Begin the roadmarch.

Antonio "Ike" DeVargas-Norteño Warrior is the political profile of an activist whose life was dedicated to the pursuit of environmental and social justice in northern New Mexico, a distinct regional community that has long struggled for economic viability and autonomy. A colorful man with a head of premature white curls and blue eyes, born and bred in a traditional Hispano village, Ike, as everyone knew him, came of age during the Vietnam War where he witnessed firsthand American imperialism against a developing nation. Once home, he recognized that the same forces were at work against the Hispano and Native American communities in "el norte," under the rule of a despotic Rio Arriba County official. As a founding member of La Raza Unida Party he learned the organizing skills that would help topple a despot and prepare him for future battles: logging wars that pitted communities against corporate timber companies, the US Forest Service, and urban environmentalists; corruption and malfeasance by future county political machines; and tragedies within the criminal justice system. He was a man whose grounding in the cultural traditions of Hispano resiliency and resistance to the dominant paradigm prepared him for a life that left a lasting legacy. His story is the larger story of northern New Mexico.
