Seattle harbors a dark and violent history that stretches back to a bloody battle between natives and settlers in 1856. In the early 1900s, Dr. Linda Hazzard stole money from countless patients after starving them to death in her infamous sanitarium. Three robbers opened fire in the notorious Wah Mee gambling club in 1983, killing thirteen people in the state's deadliest mass homicide. Some of America's most notorious serial killers wrought terror in Seattle, including the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway. Ted Bundy's murder spree started in King County before reaching national attention in the 1970s. Local author Teresa Nordheim exposes these and many more gruesome events that scarred the city.
From the Lowcountry's first recorded duel to old-fashioned summers at the 'hottest spot in town,' this book will captivate you with stories of people, events, and places that have all but vanished from memory. Find out the real history behind some of Charleston's beloved mansions and learn about the early plantations and their owners. Join the authors as they relate the riots and romance, the preservation and politics—and even a ghost story—from Charleston's hidden history.
In an age of excess, the primary enemy of revival is 'enough.' When you're comfortable and full, you lose the desperation required to keep a heart on fire for Jesus. Ultimately, our 'enough' leads not to fullness, but to empty, cold hearts.
Igniting the fires of personal revival, seasoned revivalist and pastor Kim Owens shows that a heart on fire for Jesus is the antidote to apathy and complacency. Sharing vital revelations, biblical wisdom, and practical principles discovered in a ten-year-sustained revival, Pastor Kim equips you to transform a life of spiritual dryness into one with spiritual zeal; maintain a holy desperation for God; prioritize a passionate pursuit of Jesus; and experience a vibrant, contagious relationship with Christ.
There will be no personal revival if there's no personal pursuit. In these difficult times before Christ's return, it's imperative we live in his presence and fullness, on fire with zeal and passion. This is not optional. This is what Jesus shed his blood for.
After her brother's entanglement with an Irish gang threatens their family's safety, Alannah Darragh flees St. Louis and her troubled past, seeking refuge as a maid for the affluent Shanahan family. Alannah's resolve to avoid romance is tested by the undeniable attraction she feels for Kiernan Shanahan. Determined to maintain her position and the safety it provides, she vows to resist the pull of her heart despite the growing bond between them and their undeniable chemistry.
In the wake of a devastating fire, Kiernan Shanahan sees a shrewd opportunity to invest in a clay mine and brickyard to aid the city's rebuilding. To secure his venture, he seeks a wealthy bride with a substantial dowry. However, the matchmaker he consults has different plans. As danger looms and Alannah fights to keep her brother safe, Kiernan's protective instincts draw them closer together, but a future with him seems too far out of reach. It will take a miracle—or a wager with the wily matchmaker—to bring the unlikely couple together.
Be swept away in a tale of love, danger, and destiny in this captivating historical romance from bestselling author Jody Hedlund.

A husband always wants more sex than his wife, right? Many marriage resources make that assumption, but up to twenty-five percent of marriages have a higher desire wife!

Author and speaker J. Parker has been there. In The Higher Desire Wife, she pairs extensive research and personal stories to help the higher desire wife nurture healthy and holy intimacy in her marriage. In this frank and compassionate book, you'll learn how to
● understand potential causes of your husband's lower sex drive
● approach the topic with him in a loving and effective way
● find solutions and compromises to close the desire gap
God designed marriage to fulfill both husband and wife. J. Parker comes alongside you as a trusted friend to help you understand that you're normal, you're not alone, and things can get better.
Is it possible to be both a faithful Catholic and an avowed feminist? Earlier generations of feminists first formulated answers to this question in the 1970s. Their views are still broadly held, but with increasing tentativeness and a growing sense of their inadequacy. Yet in a post-#MeToo, #ChurchToo moment, when the Church seems disconnected from struggles for racial justice and LGBTQ inclusion, those answers sound increasingly insufficient. Today, tensions between Catholicism and feminism are more visible and ties to Catholic communities are increasingly weak. Can Catholic feminism survive?
Julie Hanlon Rubio argues that it can. But if it is going to do so, it is necessary to rethink how women and men who experience the pull of feminism and Catholicism can credibly claim both identities. In Can You Be a Catholic and a Feminist? Rubio argues that Catholic feminist identity is only tenable if we frankly acknowledge tensions between Catholicism and feminism, bring forward shared concerns, and embrace the future with ambiguity and creativity. Rubio explores the potential for synergy and dialogue between Catholics and feminists through various lenses, including sexual violence, gender theory, pregnancy and prenatal loss, work-life balance, relationships and family life, spirituality, conscience, and what it means to be human.

Come to the movies with two celebrated spirituality writers—American poet and author Kathleen Norris and Irish storyteller and peace activist Gareth Higgins.
In A Whole Life in Twelve Movies, Norris and Higgins invite listeners along as they discuss acclaimed movies that can help us better understand our lives—from before birth to death and beyond.

Each chapter recommends additional films and includes discussion questions ideally suited for churches, small groups, and book clubs.
As listeners watch and listen, they will journey through the human life cycle and explore themes of existence, goodness, belonging, vocation, identity, success, generosity, dealing with conflict, and what it means to be human. The book outlines a cinematic path toward a deeper spirituality and a more meaningful life for believers across the faith spectrum and seekers alike. It includes a foreword by James Martin, SJ.
Women who love Jesus often struggle with the endless pursuit of things they think will make them happy. Power, possessions, pleasure, Prosecco, Pilates. You get the gist. Margaret Jen Burke noticed that her life was becoming too entangled and that she was losing touch with the Creator. Dying to Live tells her story and helps women better prepare for what matters in eternity.
She will make you laugh, speak to your reality, and challenge your faith so you are brave enough to
● seek and (re)find a relationship with Jesus so intimate, intense, and soul quenching that it shifts your permanent perspective from earthly to eternal.
● fully enjoy God's wild and wonderful blessings, regardless of your original expectations.
● grow out of a comfortable, one-dimensional life so you can posture yourself well for his return.
● run your race (without the fear of being asked if your leggings are from Lululemon).
As followers of Jesus, it's our job to prepare for his return carefully and completely. It's our purpose here and truly the only thing that matters this side of eternity.
