It is 1998 when a young woman driving on a snowy Michigan road accidentally hits what appears to be the dead body of a child—until the corpse seemingly comes alive, just as a hand reaches up from behind the woman and grabs her throat. After Shannon White’s parents summon the police to look for her, all they find is her abandoned car with her purse in the front seat and the key in the ignition. Meanwhile Professor Franky Lake, Police Captain Hazel Cowan, and the rest of the team are focused on locating Professor Phillip Parker who has been missing since the murder of Banthom. What they do not know is that Parker is on the run from an evil beast who has special plans for him. As Lake, Cowan, and the others face dark forces they fear are far more dangerous than anything they have ever faced, they must brave the brutal Michigan winter while searching for the missing. But can they successfully battle the demonic forces that snatch innocent victims and find their companions before it is too late? In the chilling conclusion to the Fritz saga, a police captain, professor, and their team must stop evil forces before they destroy the entire town of Parksville.
Phillip Parker and Franky Lake are college professors from small-town Michigan, and yet, their lives take a dark turn when they head to Dublin, Ireland, to investigate the murder of two children they suspect died at the hands of a malicious entity. With the help of parapsychologist Dr. Timothy Huffman, they must unravel the secret of Lord Banthom. Banthom was a seventeenth century witch and world renowned Satanist. The murders took place in the house that once belonged to him, and returning to the scene is the professors’ only hope of finding the truth. Their investigation takes a sinister turn when they discover evil forces stronger than they could have imagined. A malevolent presence has emerged and, with the aid of a homicidal maniac, it seeks only to kill the innocent in search of a lost treasure—one that could tip the scales of ultimate power. This battle between the righteous and wicked unfolds across two continents with the fate of the entire human race hanging in the balance. Parker, Lake, and Huffman are now the world’s only defense against a dark creature that seeks nothing but destruction.

Sports Myths uses economic principles to bust fifteen college and professional urban legends that continuously rear their heads, but that fall apart under analytical scrutiny.
This book is the first to explore in detail the systematics and taxonomy of the digenean fauna of fish in Indian marine waters. It includes morphological descriptions of 648 species in 190 genera and 30 families. The figures from the original publications are enhanced and made more attractive. Each description is accompanied by information on hosts and distribution. Digenetic trematodes, usually known as Digeneans, are the most diverse group of metazoan parasites of marine fishes. They are parasitic flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes) with a complex life-cycle and as adults inhabit mainly the alimentary system and associated organs, but also occur in the blood, under the scales, in the body cavity and in the gall and urinary bladders. Keys to families, genera and species are provided, except for a few large and controversial genera, where morphological characters are insufficient for identification. Although there is extensive literature on Digeneans, it is scattered and largely in obscure local journals. Bringing together most of the primary literature on the subject, this book provides a primer for further study and a starting point for the use of modern molecular methods for the fauna of this region. Unique in its scope, it is a valuable resource for students, professional parasitologists and ecologists as well as fishery and wildlife biologists.

A pilgrim-themed spirituality for Christian formation, Pilgrim Spirituality resources everyday Christianity, congregational life, social outreach, and religious travel through definitional frames of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage is a prominent biblical image. Yet, despite its contemporary resurgence, its capacity for Christian formation remains untapped. While our understanding of pilgrimage has been too narrow, we lack a definitional framework that fosters transformational practice. Definitions matter, thought creates possibilities, and intentionality enhances experience. Recognizing pilgrimage as a comprehensive expression of the Christian life, Pilgrim Spirituality provides tools for perceiving spiritual possibilities, engaging situational context, and interpreting lived experience. Espousing both personal and social holiness, Pilgrim Spirituality gives definitional status to the Other, attends to the self, and seeks the presence of God in the facts in which we find ourselves. Pilgrim Spirituality examines Christian concepts of time, place, and journey, while emphasizing the personal, corporate, incarnational, metaphorical, and tensional character of the pilgrim life. Exploring the motives, experiences, and practices of pilgrimage, Pilgrim Spirituality resources readers in their destinational pursuit of the Christian faith: the union of God, self, and the Other.
