Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Many secrets are hidden within the darkness of the jungle. Behold this one about a man, a woman, a black jaguar, and an ancient Mayan legend. When Andrea Granger was assigned to go to Honduras, ‘get inside and gather evidence’ against the DEA’s main suspect, she was determined to accomplish her mission with the same efficiency as in her previous assignments. But that was before she met her culprit, Brandon Shaw. He melted her heart and her resolve, and so did Naja, Brandon’s 300 pound black jaguar and closest companion. She quickly discovered there was much more to Brandon Shaw than met the eye, and just as quickly, she found her mission in jeopardy. Instead of arresting him, she became determined to rescue the flawed man of the jungle. But could she successfully extricate him from the web he had tangled himself in? As if that weren’t enough, she found that Brandon Shaw was somehow connected to a thousand year old Mayan legend which threatened to destroy everything. Unprepared, she found herself having to deal with an ancient spirit determined to kill her.

On the High Wire

Education Professors Walk Between Work and Parenting

By: George Theoharis,Sharon Dotger

The purpose of the work/life balance series is to highlight particular challenges that higher education faculty face as they participate in the demands of the academy and try to prevent those demands from invading their personal lives. On The High Wire looks at a specific subset of university faculty, education faculty with school-aged children, and the specific professional/personal balance these faculty need to find. The title On the High Wire suggests the precarious nature of the “walk” for education faculty who are parents of school-aged children. We know that our identities are central to how we experience the world and how the world reacts to us. This reality is clearly visible in this book. These multiple identities and roles come into conflict at multiple points and in different ways. This book explores these identities and roles through autoethnographic accounts written by varied education faculty in order to make these tensions visible for the field to address.

Canadian Baptists and Christian Higher Education

Canadian Baptists and Christian Higher Education

By: George A. Rawlyk

In his chapter on Acadia, Barry Moody argues that the university has been surprisingly open to a variety of theologies and pedagogical perspectives, tracing this to the liberality and breadth of vision of Nova Scotia Baptists. His study helps explain the remarkable strength of the Baptist tradition in late nineteenth-century Nova Scotia. J.R.C. Perkin's chapter on one of Acadia's distinguished presidents, Watson Kirkonnell, shows Kirkonnell as representative of this tradition and its strength. G.A. Rawlyk examines some of the underlying forces which significantly affected the development of McMaster University. He suggests that the cutting edge of McMaster's nineteenth century Evangelicalism may have been dulled by the enthusiastic manner in which "consumerism" and "modernity" were appropriated by the Baptist Convention leadership which controlled the university. In his discussion of Brandon College, Walter Ellis argues that Brandon failed as a Baptist institution of higher learning largely because it was out of touch with Western Canadian realities. If it had been a bible college rather than a Manitoba variant of McMaster, Brandon might still be in existence and Conventional Baptists might as a result be a far stronger force in the West. These essays on individual institutions highlight the pressure on denominational universities to emphasize not only Christian spirituality but secular scholarship. They will be of interest to all those who are concerned not only with the fate of Baptist institutions but the entire Christian church in Canada.

The Lost City

By: George Dismukes

How does someone deal with an enraged 2,000 year old Mayan spirit? Brandon and Andrea must find out, an odyssey that returns them to the deepest, darkest recesses of The Mosquitia Jungle with Naja, Brandon’s 300 pound black jaguar, at their side. Brandon Shaw & Andrea Granger must decide how to deal with a furious ancient Mayan spirit, a complicated problem to be sure. Their quest takes them into the high cloud forests of Guatemala where they meet a mysterious old Mayan named Kan Bah. Next, they find themselves returning to a place they never expected to see again, The Lost City of The Monkey God, located in the far eastern section of the Honduran Mosquitia Jungle. It is here that Brandon Shaw discovers what the ancient spirit is angry about, and also learns more about himself than he ever wanted to know. Most women would run. But that never occurs to Andrea Granger whose devout belief is that love is the strongest force on earth. In this tale of supernatural spirits and a possible 2,000 year old reincarnation, that belief is put to the test.

Last Glimpse

By: Tracy L George

In Dayton, every parent can get a glimpse into their child’s future. By law, the government can also eliminate those children whose glimpse shows them to be a threat to civilization. In most cases, parents see their children growing up to be artists, teachers, or even doctors. Unfortunately for Prudence, she is predicted to be a murderer. In an attempt to change her fate, Prudence is thrown into The Hive to endure a rigorous correctional program. After sixty days, if she can alter her future, they will let her go back home. But if she can’t, she will be euthanized “for the safety of society”. Angry and confused, she is trapped in a digital world of violence, dangerous inmates, sinister droids, and corrupt guards. It isn’t long before she starts to wonder if surviving the program is even possible. How can she prove to this artificially intelligent machine that she couldn’t kill a spider, let alone a human being? All she has to keep her sane is her pod-mate, Tilde, and a handsome guard named Noah, who, for some secret reason, keeps going out of his way to keep her alive. Somehow, Prudence must survive the perils of the Hive and decide her fate for herself. Is she the big-hearted smart-ass that she sees in the mirror, or the treacherous killer that the glimpsing predicted her to be?

Wonderful Stories from Skog Forest Near the Little Yellow House Vol. 3

Rain and Thunder and Other Un-Scary Things

By: George E. Peterson Jr.

While writing these childrens books I mixed fact with fiction, reality with fantasy, and the will to overcome near-impossible problems with creative solutions. Since children need positive encouragement, optimism, hope, and, most of all - love, Ive created stories using animals - who are true to their particular nature. I chose animals which children can both relate to and understand by their own unique behaviors, but sometimes with a little humor and a few unexpected happenings. Positive reading for positive readers! In this third volume of Wonderful Stories from Skog Forest, many silly and unwarranted fears that children and adults have are discussed and thwarted. Such strange fears are everything from green slime on rocks in rivers, ponds and lakes to cemetaries - small bugs to darkness - and, of course, rain and thunder. The book teaches children that if they would only learn about these senseless fears, the fears would go away, and also that when they come across something that is truely dangerous, they wouldn't fear it, but respect it instead. "Man hurts what he fears, fears what he hates, and hates what he does not understand! - And this is the root problem of the world!

The Complete Works of George Meredith

By: George Meredith

It was ordained that Shibli Bagarag, nephew to the renowned Baba Mustapha, chief barber to the Court of Persia, should shave Shagpat, the son of Shimpoor, the son of Shoolpi, the son of Shullum; and they had been clothiers for generations, even to the time of Shagpat, the illustrious. Now, the story of Shibli Bagarag, and of the ball he followed, and of the subterranean kingdom he came to, and of the enchanted palace he entered, and of the sleeping king he shaved, and of the two princesses he released, and of the Afrite held in subjection by the arts of one and bottled by her, is it not known as 'twere written on the finger-nails of men and traced in their corner-robes? As the poet says: Ripe with oft telling and old is the tale, But 'tis of the sort that can never grow stale. Now, things were in that condition with Shibli Bagarag, that on a certain day he was hungry and abject, and the city of Shagpat the clothier was before him; so he made toward it, deliberating as to how he should procure a meal, for he had not a dirhem in his girdle, and the remembrance of great dishes and savoury ingredients were to him as the illusion of rivers sheening on the sands to travellers gasping with thirst. And he considered his case, crying, 'Surely this comes of wandering, and 'tis the curse of the inquiring spirit! for in Shiraz, where my craft is in favour, I should be sitting now with my uncle, Baba Mustapha, the loquacious one, cross-legged, partaking of seasoned sweet dishes, dipping my fingers in them, rejoicing my soul with scandal of the Court!' Now, he came to a knoll of sand under a palm, from which the yellow domes and mosques of the city of Shagpat, and its black cypresses, and marble palace fronts, and shining pillars, and lofty carven arches that spanned half-circles of the hot grey sky, were plainly visible. Then gazed he awhile despondingly on the city of Shagpat, and groaned in contemplation of his evil plight, as is said by the poet: The curse of sorrow is comparison! As the sun casteth shade, night showeth star, We, measuring what we were by what we are, Behold the depth to which we are undone.

Day, Door, Soul

By: George Epstein

George Epstein was a mathematician, scientist, and poet. This mixture of experiences and passions came together to form the three-part poetry collection Day, Door, Soul. It presents a progressive visual journey moving from awakening through the portal and finally to divine soul transcendence, as written by a religious man with earthly connections. His collection is intended for those who are aware of the spiritual journey of life and for those who seek to unravel the mysteries of life through developing a deeper understanding of self. Epstein weaves imagery within his words to paint pictures that inspire and inform. Even through daily encounters, the greatness of life speaks in the mundane. Even a small ant on a beach has meaning. Globalism and humanity are linked to the individual good. Biblical and mythological images relate to the monotonous day by day. Epsteins poetry asks us to face our ethical dealings, learn the art of balance in daily life, and ponder the impermanence of life as we journey from consciousness through the doorway to our soul.

The Bridge

By: George Encizo

Losing a beloved pet was traumatic for JD Pickens and his daughter Sarah. What made matters worse was when Sarah took a liking to a boy, one Pickens didn’t know. Pickens wasn’t ready for Sarah to date because he feared losing his little girl’s heart. It created a chasm in their father-daughter relationship. When Sarah and her boyfriend witnessed a dog beaten and tossed in a truck, they followed it until the truck turned onto a dirt road. Sarah had called the incident to Deputy Billy Thompson and asked him to run the license plate. Billy agreed but asked her not to follow the truck, and they decided not to follow it. The rift between Pickens and Sarah widened when Pickens solicited the boyfriend’s help locating the dirt road without telling Sarah. He agreed even though it got him in trouble with Sarah. After he pointed out the road, Billy contacted a member of his drone club and had her launch a drone to do aerial surveillance of the road. The aerial surveillance revealed a compound with trucks and cages at the end of the road. Using the drone, Pickens and his team descended upon the compound only to discover the trucks were gone and the cages were empty, except for one. That cage had a malnourished dog chained up with no food or water and left to perish. With animal control as part of Pickens’s team, animal control rushed the dog to the shelter. Pickens hoped the dog would survive and he might adopt it. Unfortunately, the dog died, which angered Pickens. After Sarah’s boyfriend took her fishing, Pickens attempted to bridge the chasm between them by offering to take her fishing, but Sarah thought Pickens was trying to drive a wedge between her and her boyfriend. Pickens assured Sarah he was only trying to bridge the gap between them, and Sarah eventually relented and agreed to go. The event ended up being a relationship mender, but Pickens kept a secret from Sarah. Ultimately, the secret was revealed when they visited Pickens’s parents, creating another rift between Pickens and Sarah. With the help of Pickens’s mother, Pickens escaped Sarah’s wrath, and their bond remained intact. Angry over the death of the emaciated dog, Pickens vowed to track down the men who caged it along with other dogs at the compound. Billy came up with the name of one of the men, thanks to prints from the compound. But Pickens still couldn’t locate where the men were hiding, but a stroke of luck led Pickens to a remote farmhouse. After Sarah mentioned that she and her boyfriend were going on a helicopter ride, Pickens asked her to get the pilot’s name, so he could enlist the help of the pilot to descend upon the farmhouse and arrest the dognappers. Sarah agreed, and Pickens contacted the pilot and paid for his service by flying Pickens and a small team to the farmhouse. Once again, Pickens was days too late and found the dognappers dead, but a fingerprint left at the scene revealed another name, but it became difficult to locate the person. Although Pickens was disappointed about the dead bodies, they happened upon a female dog and her litter. The dogs were taken to the shelter and cared for, and the veterinarian discovered a chip in the mother. Pickens attempted to locate its owner. Unfortunately, he found the owner dead in his trailer. Pickens decided he’d take the dogs if no one wanted. First, he had to locate any relatives of their former owner. Pickens discovered a son-in-law of the dogs’ former owner, but he didn’t want the dogs, so they became available for adoption. Pickens still had to locate the killer, but it proved difficult, as though he was a ghost. A twenty-year-old mug shot of the man led to Amy contacting the Jacksonville law enforcement agencies, but they were no help, and the case went cold.

Death of the Fox

a novel about Ralegh

By: George Garrett

I have read Death of the Fox," writes O. B. Hardison, Director of The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D. C., "and feel that I have probably participated at the inception of a major literary event. The novel is a brilliant and unique work. I know of nothing quite like it in recent American fiction. It is wholly conversant with the fiber, texture, and grain of Elizabethan and Jacobean England. In its sweep it takes us from the arrival of the Tudors in 1485 all the way to October 29, 1618, when Ralegh was executed. It covers . . . the policy, the religious disputes, the warfare, the rivalries of various political factions, the magic of Queen Elizabeth and the crafty folly of James I, Essex and Bacon, Leicester and Sir Edward Coke, Marlow and Ben Jonson and Inigo Jones! Incredibly, it is all these, not only in broad sweep, but in an infinitude of jewel-like details, each meticulously exact, but at the same time adding up to a sort of literary mosaic, creating an artistic fabric more enchanting, more real than a whole portfolio of photographs.

George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones 5-Book Boxed Set (Song of Ice and Fire Series)

A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons

By: George R. R. Martin

For the first time, all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO’s Game of Thrones are together in one eBook bundle. An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin—dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine—international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now this bundle collects the entire monumental cycle in the most convenient format available: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS “One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys. “Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times
