Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Busch has an enduring love affair with great books, and here he brilliantly communicates his passion to us all. Whether expounding on Melville or Dickens, or celebrating Hemingway or O'Hara, he explains what literature can ineffably reveal about our own lives. For Busch, there was no other recourse save the "dangerous profession;" it was to be his calling, and in these piercing essays, he demonstrates that we as a culture ignore the fundamental truths about fiction only at our own peril. With keen ruminations that recall the critcs of yore- Edmund Wilson, Lionel Trilling, and Irving Howe-Busch, in this era of moral indirection, has revealed how the literature of our past is the key to our survival in the future.

Book excerpt: Mysterious, elusive, and unforgettable—the Hurst Amulet series continues to lure lovers into peril as New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins spins her scintillating tale of danger and desire. For beautiful, seductive Moira MacAllister, the stakes have become terrifyingly high. Her daughter has been abducted and a priceless ancient relic is the ransom. Moira must acquire it at any cost, even if it means confronting the man she once duped and left, a man who still doesn’t know she has a child...and that he is the father. Robert Hurst, an operative in the king’s service, has never forgiven the mysterious spy who seduced him into marriage and then disappeared without a trace. Now, as he pursues the onyx box that will save his brother’s life, their paths cross again. But Robert isn’t sure which he longs for more—to satisfy his lust for revenge or to quench his relentless hunger for this bewitching woman. When Moira reveals to Robert her long-kept secret, however, he realizes his burning desires must wait as a treacherous foe closes in, threatening all they hold dear...and their second chance at love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Christian is assailed by the gales of temptation, but those in professional ministry face fiercer storms than the rest. As C. H. Spurgeon warned, contrary to what is often assumed, our dangers are more numerous and more insidious than those of ordinary Christians. This perspective was shared by the unified voice of the historic church, leading some patristic church fathers to initially flee the call to ministry. The same dangers were repeatedly identified in the writings of the early English pastoral theologians as they sought to mentor their protŽgŽs in successful ministry. A Most Dangerous Profession surfaces these gems so often overlooked in historic Christian literature, and ends with their practical advice on how to overcome. As both a pastoral and spiritual theology, A Most Dangerous Profession is bound to add an important voice to the ongoing dialog about pastoral self-care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deadly Chase on The Bering Sea Immerse yourself in crewman Spike Walker's Working on the Edge, an adrenaline-fueled narrative that brings to life the world of Alaskan king crab fishing. Set against the merciless backdrop of the turbulent Bering Sea, the book is a visceral account of human struggle, survival, and the dogged pursuit of fortune. Working on the Edge transports you to the wretched, unforgiving conditions of the Bering Sea with its icy winds, treacherous waves, and debilitating on-deck labor. More than a mere profession, crab fishing in these chilling waters stands as a brutal testament to the battle of man against nature, where every decision carries the weight of life and death. Alongside personal stories, Walker brings to light the stories of survivors from the industry's deadly disasters, painting a vivid picture of the harsh reality of this dangerous line of work. Walker rivetingly depicts the modern-day gold rush that drew hundreds of fortune-and adventure-hunters to Alaska's dangerous waters.
