One year has passed since The Jester Crow had fought his unnamed enemy within the mountain’s core. Out of mercy though, he did not end The Light Bringer’s life. Instead he had followed an old method of revenge; an eye for an eye. Within his year of peace, he has lived within the Chakrino Tree with his beloved Jester Erzabet. But soon, a reunion with their enemy leads to a misfortunate discovery. Crow’s Machina is dying out. Should he not find an alternative power source, he will surely die. But more mysteries lie within. More demons will rise, along with a reluctant truce formed with an old enemy. But the plight to be unfolded lies with one fallen Jester; Chelsea. Who is she? Why is she here? And what is her connection with Crow? All will be revealed in the story of this tragic hero.

This first volume in the Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible study series guides women through a Christ-centered study of Genesis. The Promised One provides a fresh look at the book of Genesis, leading women in discovering how its stories, symbols, people, and promises point to Christ. Over ten weeks of study, participants will see Christ as the agent of creation, the offspring who will crush the head of the serpent, the ark of salvation, the source of the righteousness credited to Abraham, the substitutionary sacrifice provided by God, the Savior to whom the whole world must come for life, and much more. Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ's kingdom, and a leader's guide for group discussion. A ten-session DVD companion set is also available.

Goliath of Gath was a powerful enemy who defied the Israeli army of King Saul and, by extension, the God of Israel. No Israelite could withstand Goliath, but when David came on the scene, the story changed. As it was then, so it is today. There are Goliath forces that are seeking to frustrate the glorious destinies of individuals, families, communities, and even nations. The God of David has not changed; what he did through David he is still doing today. Goliath killers are being raised by the God of heaven to bring down the Goliaths that stand on their way just like David. It is amazing that upon all the boastings of Goliath, a young man brought him down with a stone and a sling. God directed David's stone into Goliath's soft spot, his forehead. Your Goliath has a soft spot, and God knows how to target that spot with your sling and smooth stone. That Goliath in your life must die; that enemy has to be brought down by the power of the God of heaven. That stubborn challenge staring you in the face must come down. This book is a Holy Spirit""inspired spiritual-war material that details the killing of Goliath by David and how you and I can rise up today and also kill our own "Goliaths" by the power of God. We cannot allow the forces of Goliath any more space, no more room for them, no more chance for them, enough is enough, now is the time to get them down, and God wants to use us like he used David. Check out this book and see how you can be a Goliath killer.

"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Since the 2011 release of Goliath, Tom Gauld has solidified himself as one of the world’s most revered and critically-acclaimed cartoonists working today. From his weekly strips in the Guardian and New Scientist, to his lauded graphic novels You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack and Mooncop, Gauld’s fascination with the intersection between history, literary criticism, and pop culture has become the crux of his work. Now in paperback, with a new cover and smaller size, Goliath is a retelling of the classic myth, this time from Goliath's side of the Valley of Elah. Goliath of Gath isn't much of a fighter. He would pick admin work over patrolling in a heartbeat, to say nothing of his distaste for engaging in combat. Nonetheless, at the behest of the king, he finds himself issuing a twice-daily challenge to the Israelites: "Choose a man. Let him come to me that we may fight." Quiet moments in Goliath's life as an isolated soldier are accentuated by Gauld's trademark drawing style: minimalist scenery, geometric humans, and densely crosshatched detail. Simultaneously tragic and bleakly funny, Goliath displays a sensitive wit and a bold line--a traditional narrative reworked, remade, and revolutionized into a classic tale of Gauld’s very own.

Ever wish someone could give you a big handle on the entire Bible without years of study? Well, this book not only promises to give you that big handle—it will deliver on the promise. You should be asking, how is this possible? The Bible is one story told over and over again, with many variations on the same theme. This structure is the Bible’s DNA. This basic seven-point pattern is the heartbeat of the Creation. It is the cycle of a human day and a human life. It is the pattern of the Tabernacle. It is the process of agriculture. It undergirds the speeches and Laws of God. It orders the rise and fall of nations and empires. It is also the structure of our worship. It is the rhythm of Christ, and it will open the Bible for you like never before.
