Synopsis All Roads Lead to Nowhere by : Alexander Skikos

In a distant, dystopian future, the United States has fallen. The rich and elite live in the domed Paradise Cities, told what to think and how to live by narcissistic corporations that have formed a nefarious alliance with the government - no longer a democracy, secretly controlled by one man. The less fortunate are forced out into the barren wastelands. The remnants of the nuclear holocaust, where the environment has collapsed, referred to as Nowhere. Six desperate figures, each with different political motivations, struggle to survive. Hunted by the President's robot army and the dangerous members of the Wright Gang, divided by their own opposing viewpoints, they must come together and fight as one, or become more forgotten, lost souls. But even as they come to grips with their own human weaknesses, and try to overcome the obstacles thrown into their paths, the truth they must face is...All Roads Lead to Nowhere.

Synopsis Made for His Pleasure by : Alistair Begg

Are you living for God's pleasure or for your own? Pleasing God is not a matter of personal choice, but an imperative that must be taken seriously. In a world of self, we must give way to the priority of God if we want to experience His joy. In this popular book, Alistair identifies ten benchmarks from Scripture that will prove invaluable as you seek to live a life that is pleasing to God. His clear, personal message will challenge and revitalize your faith. Spiritual fitness is not a series of straight, 100-yard sprints. Rather, it’s a lifelong cross-country run of endurance and perseverance. The life that is truly fulfilling gives back to God the talents and abilities He has given us to be used for His glory. "Delightful, insightful teaching on God's Word" — Max Lucado "Alistair compels us clearly and biblically to know the joy of pleasing God in our relationships, successes and failures, and other strategic aspects of our lives." — Joseph M. Stowell

Synopsis Through the Rain by : Marla Bernard

In a motel room on the east side of the city, a little girl is brutally murdered by her mothers sadistic boyfriend for failing to know her ABCs. The family disappears, along with the childs body, and the scene of the crime spans over 1,000 miles. Despite the lack of a body, the detectives of the 1020 Squad obtain a conviction but it will take another eight long years before the little girls remains come home to rest. In a twist of fate, the 1020 Squad no sooner closes the final chapters of this case when the headless body of a tiny girl is found discarded in a makeshift dump site in the woods Sgt. David Bernard and the 1020 Squad will work over four years, following 1,500 leads and conducting the single largest area canvass in the history of the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department before finding the true identity of the seemingly orphaned little girl known only as Precious Doe. Through the Rain is a candid and touching account of the painful impact that these brutal murders had on Sgt. Bernard, his family and the KCPDs 1020 squad. It chronicles the all too frequent stories of child abuse, failed social services, a flawed court system, and battered women who sacrificed their own children to shield their abusive lovers, echoing the same preposterous explanations of but I love him. It is the story of a family, a group of committed volunteers and a community who reached out to embrace Angel Lea Hart and Erica Michelle Marie Green aka Precious Doe and give them in death the humanity and affection they so desperately deserved in life.

Synopsis The Holy by : Daniel Quinn

They knew us before we began to walk upright. Shamans called them guardians, mythmakers called them tricksters, pagans called them gods, churchmen called them demons, folklorists called them shape-shifters. They’ve obligingly taken any role we’ve assigned them, and, while needing nothing from us, have accepted whatever we thought was their due – love, hate, fear, worship, condemnation, neglect, oblivion. Even in modern times, when their existence is doubted or denied, they continue to extend invitations to those who would travel a different road, a road not found on any of our cultural maps. But now, perceiving us as a threat to life itself, they issue their invitations with a dark purpose of their own. In this dazzling metaphysical thriller, four who put themselves in the hands of these all-but-forgotten Others venture across a sinister American landscape hidden from normal view, finding their way to interlocking destinies of death, terror, transcendental rapture, and shattering enlightenment.
