The Fallen Prince

By: Shea Berkley

There is a magical realm that exists alongside the human realm, but it wasn't always so. The firsts are beings who were created to nurture the land. The world was split into two realms, and the firsts were allowed to redeem themselves. Sadly, the majority continued with their self-indulgent behavior to the point where one of their own, a king, became so obsessed with power, he was secretly banished by the court in hopes his absence would calm the masses. But a spark of madness was ignited and not even the lost king's absence could curtail what he set in motion. The Keepers of Life series is best enjoyed in order.

The Marked Son

By: Shea Berkley

Seventeen-year-old Dylan Kennedy always knew something was different about him, but until his mother abandoned him in the middle of Oregon with grandparents he’s never met, he had no idea what. When Dylan sees a girl in white in the woods behind his grandparents’ farm, he knows he’s seen her before...in his dreams. He’s felt her fear. Heard her insistence that only he can save her world from an evil lord who uses magic and fear to feed his greed for power. Unable to shake the unearthly pull to Kera, Dylan takes her hand. Either he’s completely insane or he’s about to have the adventure of his life, because where they’re going is full of creatures he’s only read about in horror stories. Worse, the human blood in his veins has Dylan marked for death... The Keepers of Life series is best enjoyed in order.

How Prayer Helped Me!

By: Michael A. Berkley

No matter how many trials and tribulations may come upon us in this life, just know that the struggle can be defeated through Prayer. No matter what the situation is or even if it seems as though there is no light at the end of the tunnel or even if the crossroad seems very confusing; please believe that prayer through Jesus to God is real. He will hear your prayer and answer your prayer according to His will. I believe God answers our prayers with a yes and sometimes with a no. I am reminded of Paul, who asked God 3 times to remove the thorn from his flesh. II Corinthians 12: 5-10. I believe God answers prayer according to His will & what is best for us.

O. N. Pruitt's Possum Town

Photographing Trouble and Resilience in the American South

By: Berkley Hudson

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

O. N. Pruitt's Possum Town

Photographing Trouble and Resilience in the American South

By: Berkley Hudson

Photographer O. N. Pruitt (1891–1967) was for some forty years the de facto documentarian of Lowndes County, Mississippi, and its county seat, Columbus--known to locals as "Possum Town." His body of work recalls many FSA photographers, but Pruitt was not an outsider with an agenda; he was a community member with intimate knowledge of the town and its residents. He photographed his fellow white citizens and Black ones as well, in circumstances ranging from the mundane to the horrific: family picnics, parades, river baptisms, carnivals, fires, funerals, two of Mississippi's last public and legal executions by hanging, and a lynching. From formal portraits to candid images of events in the moment, Pruitt's documentary of a specific yet representative southern town offers viewers today an invitation to meditate on the interrelations of photography, community, race, and historical memory. Columbus native Berkley Hudson was photographed by Pruitt, and for more than three decades he has considered and curated Pruitt's expansive archive, both as a scholar of media and visual journalism and as a community member. This stunning book presents Pruitt's photography as never before, combining more than 190 images with a biographical introduction and Hudson's short essays and reflective captions on subjects such as religion, ethnic identity, the ordinary graces of everyday life, and the exercise of brutal power.
