Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the first book of the An Unbelievable Truth series-a modern approach to the struggles and hardships that accompany what might be considered an incredible or envied ability. Daymion Truth is a young man who, like all young people, is trying to discover who he is and what his purpose in life may be. Young adulthood is an extremely trying time for anyone; however, it is even more so for him. You see, this is the tale of a man who has been born with an exceptional, almost superhuman, ability. Desmond "Dizzy" Watson and Jasmine "Jaz" Wholcott are the only people Daymion can trust; they're his family, and the only ones who know of his ability. Dizzy is a lovable, marijuana-smoking jokester, every bit as broken by tragedy as Daymion, and his best friend. Convinced that he is meant to be Daymion's sidekick, he searches for an extraordinary ability of his own. Jaz is the mother hen of the group, keeping Daymion and Dizzy in line. Although she has secretly had feelings for Daymion since the day they met, she remains a dear friend to both him and Dizzy. They are the keys to keeping Daymion grounded; they constitute his "normal." With his friends by his side, Daymion is forced to deal with his capability head-on as he attempts to discover why he is the way he is while trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Daymion learns, over and over, that things are rarely what they seem to be at first glance, and that his path is one of impossible choices. Will he make the right ones? Will he be able to deal with the repercussions when he doesn't? What happens when all you want to be is normal, yet that's the single thing your ability prohibits? An Unbelievable Truth is a gritty, sometimes dark rollercoaster of a journey that explores human nature and the effects of choice. But don't expect to find spandex-wearing, caped heroes on this ride. AUT takes a unique, non-traditional look at the not-so-glorious side of being born with an exceptional ability-and all that comes with it.

Book excerpt: Now the Netflix Limited Series Unbelievable, starring Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, and Kaitlyn Dever • Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists tell the riveting true crime story of a teenager charged with lying about having been raped—and the detectives who followed a winding path to arrive at the truth. “Gripping . . . [with a] John Grisham–worthy twist.”—Emily Bazelon, New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) On August 11, 2008, eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man broke into her apartment near Seattle, Washington, and raped her. Within days police and even those closest to Marie became suspicious of her story. The police swiftly pivoted and began investigating Marie. Confronted with inconsistencies in her story and the doubts of others, Marie broke down and said her story was a lie—a bid for attention. Police charged Marie with false reporting, and she was branded a liar. More than two years later, Colorado detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to investigate a case of sexual assault. Describing the crime to her husband that night, Galbraith learned that the case bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. She joined forces with the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, and the two soon discovered they were dealing with a serial rapist: a man who photographed his victims, threatening to release the images online, and whose calculated steps to erase all physical evidence suggested he might be a soldier or a cop. Through meticulous police work the detectives would eventually connect the rapist to other attacks in Colorado—and beyond. Based on investigative files and extensive interviews with the principals, Unbelievable is a serpentine tale of doubt, lies, and a hunt for justice, unveiling the disturbing truth of how sexual assault is investigated today—and the long history of skepticism toward rape victims.

Book excerpt: Conversations matter. Yet, recently, good conversations about faith have been increasingly squeezed out of the public sphere. Seeking to reopen the debate, Justin Brierley began to invite atheists and sceptics on to Premier Christian Radio to air arguments for and against the Christian faith. But how has ten years of discussion with atheists affected the presenter’s faith? Reflecting on conversations with Richard Dawkins, Derren Brown and many more, Justin explains why he still finds Christianity the most compelling explanation for life, the universe and everything. And why, regardless of belief or background, we should all welcome the conversation. ‘Beautifully written, brilliantly argued, Justin’s book will thrill Christians and challenge atheists.’ R. T. Kendall, author and pastor ‘Justin has that happy knack of being able to get people of diametrically opposed opinions debating the big issues.’ John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many People Sincerely Believe that they are going to Heaven when they Die, to be with Jesus and his Holy Angels; or, if he is Swamped with a Million or so People, every Day, they at least Hope to Discover their Loved ones among the Billions of People who have Died and gone to Heaven, whose Names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, even if they did not Drink his Blood, nor Eat his Flesh, as a Requirement for Entering through those Overcrowded Pearly White Gates, at the Rate of about 695 Persons per Minute, which only Means that those are very LARGE Gates, just to Allow a Million People to pass through them each Day, without Checking for their Names in any Books: beCause of the Difficulty of Checking for 695 Names per Minute! And then there is the Business of Judging each Person, before he or she can Enter Heaven, and especially if Witnesses have to be Called upon to Testify, who have yet to Die, and especially in the Cases of Murders, who may not Die for another 20 to 60 Years, which Complicates everything about a Judgment Day, Record Keeping, etc. Nevertheless, it is Assumed that Jesus will be Able to Handle all of it, and has been Handling it for the past 2,000 or so Years ― God alone knows HOW! The Important Thing to Remember is that Poor Old Saint Peter has the Keys into the Kingdom, and no one gets passed him without their Garments being Washed in the Blood of the Lamb, Literally, according to certain Fake Religions, which have no Answers for a Million Questions ― such as, "How can I Find my Poor Old Uncle Henry, who Lost his Riit Mind, long before he Died from the Bug, who could not Remember his own First Name, much less, his Last Name, who must be Lost in the Crowd?" But, his Wife was a Reformed Transvestite, who was Converted to Christ on her Deathbed, whereby she would be Unrecognizable: beCause no one ever seen her without several Layers of Makeup, Paint and Buckets of Perfume. Howbeit, all of those are Minor Problems, when you Consider the Fact that Jesus supposedly Created the entire Universe, which has Billions of Trillions of Worlds in it, whereby several Trillion People are Attempting to pass through those Pearly Gates, Daily, and each one is Expecting a Good Hug from him, who Remembers all of their Trials and Troubles, who somehow kept Track of every Event in every Life, in Trillions of Lives! Yes, you probably have a Personal Relationship with him, yourself, right?
