Now available—Autumn by Melissa Nash, a new fantasy novel

After an unexplainable incident at the Carnival of Games, Sara is forced to flee to the neighbouring region of Merrywater with her mother and seek shelter with an uncle and cousin she has never met before. Here, Sara learns of a secret kept hidden from her all her life, that her newfound family are amongst a select few people in the whole country who can use Magic.

Sara learns from her cousin, Shumuti, that Magic is an energy found in the natural environment, allowing nature to bloom and flourish. But take too much from the landscape, and the land begins to wilt and die, meaning that with the ability to use Magic there also comes the responsibility to protect this energy, to prevent exploitation of the natural world.

Following several attacks from an unknown enemy, Sara’s uncle, Seaglen, establishes that Magic is being misused to the north. Wanting to help, but unable to wield Magic herself, Sara accompanies Shumuti and her friend, Aurielle, to investigate the situation. Warning them that there are people there who may wish to take advantage of their power, Seaglen advises them to undertake their task discretely.

Now available! The Melody of Three, a new fantasy novel by S.D. Reeves

Author S.D. Reeves pens a new fantasy novel in the world he created in Curses of Scale.

Sorcerer Christaan De Rein’s return to Liverpool does not go well, starting with the fact that his trusted apprentice, Higgins, dies on the way. Then again, Higgins dies a lot. Of course, Rein doesn’t expect to be welcomed with open arms after being banished for nine years, but a cryptic summons from The Musician herself cannot go unanswered.

But when Rein arrives all is in chaos. People with fairy blood are turning up dead. The Forum Magicae is undone and the Curators sieged.

And in another world altogether, where Earth is just a legend, a girl named Niena and a cursed lyre hold the key to saving both realms. Or destroying them.

NOW AVAILABLE! Staying the Course: Fifteen Leaders Survey Their Past and Envision the Future of Churches of Christ

In thriving churches, the leadership would include ministers, but also might include medical doctors, attorneys, business men and women, teachers, carpenters, judges, accountants, nurses, bakers, and so on.

For three years, the Thomas H. Olbricht Christian Scholars’ Conference undertook to ask fifteen well-respected senior leaders in the Churches of Christ to tell their own stories of their history into positions of leadership and influence. Each was also asked to articulate his or her vision for the future of Churches of Christ.

All authors are beyond age seventy, all have terminal degrees in their field, and all have stayed within the fellowship of Churches of Christ. They include Fred D. Gray, Carolyn Hunter, Lynn Anderson, John T. Willis, and eleven others.

These essays witness to the shaping work of God in the lives of notable church leaders, and perhaps also give hope to the readers for seeing God’s work in their own lives.

Glowing review for The Book of Revelations by  Daragh Fleming

Glowing review for The Book of Revelations by Daragh Fleming

This is the first publication from the young Cork author and it is an impressive debut. The most striking element is the voice. It goes without saying that any novel or short story or any piece of fiction really needs to have an original voice. Sometimes, it can take a while to establish a voice. Sometimes, it is a matter of finding it and having the confidence to recognize your voice. In the case of Daragh Fleming he brings us a strong new voice right from the first page. The stories are also written in a very distinct style which Flemming refers to as conversational.

For a billion years, Jonathan Celestial has worked as a star, filling the night sky with warmth and light. Ostracized by all the stars because of a terrible event that unfolded many years ago, he is ready for a fresh experience.

He makes friends with the guitarist of a post-rock band, falls in love with a bookworm, and evades a governmental investigation which threatens to compromise his mission.
