Dr. Peter Chesterfield is one of the Royal London Hospital's top
neurosurgeons. He is also a workaholic, ordered by his boss to take
a week off to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious Elysium
Grand on the island of Maui. While there, Peter pulls a woman with
a skull fracture from the water. Though he is able to revive her in
the ambulance, she eventually dies in his arms, leaving him with
only one clue to what happened to her: the word "honu."
Increasingly obsessed with discovering the cause of his patient's
death, Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation of a
brazen luxury auto theft. He also becomes a source of deep
irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the
case. But when the two join forces, they begin to uncover a
destructive plot that runs far deeper than either of them could
have imagined. And if they're not careful, they're both going to
end up dead. Award-winning author James R. Hannibal whisks you away
to the deadly beauty of Hawaii for a story of greed, violence, and
justice that will leave you breathless.

How to Stand Firm in Your Faith When the World Is Falling Apart
Philippians is one of the most practical books of the Bible, which
Robert Morgan says is as fresh as ever. Its theme can be summed up in
these verses: "Whatever happens, conduct yourself in a manner worthy of
the gospel of Christ. Then . . . I will know that you stand firm in the
one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel
without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you" (1:27-28).
Life is unpredictable, and the world is unstable. People have never
been so confounded, sensing our culture, economy, and geopolitical
systems are spiraling downward. Even in our personal lives, none of us
knows what will happen next--which is why God gave us the book of
Philippians. This short letter, with just over 100 verses, can help us
learn to live overflowing lives in an overwhelming world.
Among the many lessons in Whatever Happens, readers will learn how to:
• Use prayer to energize their life and embrace uncertainty
• Make today about serving others and lifting them up
• Glorify the Lord and stay as cheerful as possible in all circumstances
• Let others lean on their strength
• Start everything with praise and end everything with prayer
As the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians from a prison
cell, he was facing dire circumstances and an unsettled future. Would
he be released or executed? But he knew one thing--that whatever
happened, he was going to stand firm in his faith and live a life
worthy of the gospel. And no matter what we are going through today, we
can do the same.
'n Reis na innerlike vrede en wysheid - Hierdie 365 oordenkings verken elke aspek van die Gebed om kalmte en hoe jy dit daagliks op jou lewe kan toepas.
Ons lewe is gejaagd. Ons omstandighede – goed en sleg – stoot ons hiernatoe en daarnatoe. Ons voel asof gebeurtenisse buite ons beheer ons lewe bepaal. Ons smag na vrede, na ’n plek waar veiligheid en rus is. As antwoord op hierdie soeke na vrede herinner die geliefde predikant en skrywer Trevor Hudson lesers aan die beproefde wysheid in die alombekende Gebed om kalmte:
God, skenk my die gemoedskalmte, om die dinge te aanvaar wat ek nie kan verander nie, die moed om die dinge te verander wat ek kan, en die wysheid om te weet wat die verskil is.
Hierdie 365 oordenkings verken elke aspek van hierdie gebed en hoe jy dit daagliks op jou lewe kan toepas. Namate jy die Gebed om kalmte gebruik as gids om elke dag in vriendskap met jou Here en Skepper te lewe, sal God se geskenk van vrede jou lewe vul en deur jou vloei waar jy jou ook al bevind. Elke oordenking word afgesluit met ’n praktiese voorstel hoe jy hierdie gebed elke dag kan uitleef. Só sal jou lewe ál meer op God gefokus word, en sal jy die innerlike vrede ervaar waarna jou hart smag.
Trevor Hudson is ’n Metodistepredikant, en tans ook betrokke by The Institute for Creative Conversations by die Northfield Metodistekerk in Suid-Afrika. Trevor se bediening behels onderrig, die aanbied van lesings en naweekseminare dwarsoor die land, sowel as internasionaal. Hy is die skrywer van verskeie boeke, waaronder ’n Dieper verhouding met God, Gebed om kalmte en Vrae wat God ons vra.
How do you live a full life? Perhaps the better question is, how do you
really live when life throws you sucker punches, when you face
obstacles that seem to snuff out your faith, when you lose something or
someone precious to you? In The Fight to Flourish, Jennie Lusko
encourages women to suit up and thrive, not just in the dailies of
monotony and routine but even in the most desolate of places. Using the
backdrop of her second-born daughter Lenya’s passing into heaven five
days before Christmas in 2012, Jennie invites readers to embrace
whatever destination they’ve landed. She teaches how, through the good
and the bad, they can learn to grow, be strong, draw near to God, and
be a blessing to others. It is in this sacred space of pain and promise
that women can begin to flourish.
In a post-9/11 world, Christian. Muslim. Friend. lays out a path
toward authentic friendship between Christians and Muslims. Most
similar books either teach Christians to evangelize Muslims or else
downplay their Christian commitments. The author, who has lived and
worked among and befriended Muslims for more than fifty years,
offers readers a third way: holding onto the Christ-centered
commitments of their faith while cultivating peaceful friendship
with Muslims.
