A lyrical picture book from Cleere Cherry Reaves of the popular
brand Cleerely Stated, The Miracle of You celebrates the
unconditional love of a parent and the uniqueness of your child
among all the beauty of God's creation. From the creatures that
swim deep in the sea to the galaxies that reach far and wide, the
world is filled with the color and creativity of God. Yet nothing
compares to experiencing His miraculous design like the gift of the
child He has given you. When Cleere Cherry Reaves's son was born
three months prematurely, Cleere and her husband watched as their
child--their miracle--fought for his life, developed, and began to
thrive. In The Miracle of You, Cleere's poetic words speak for
every parent and grandparent in awe at the God-given miracle of
their little ones. This read-aloud book for boys and girls ages 4
to 8 pairs heartwarming rhymes with whimsical artwork; teaches
children that Jesus is the giver of miracles; is a perfect gift for
a baby shower, baptism, baby dedication, child's birthday, or
Mother's Day; serves as a stunning decorative piece in nurseries
and children's bedrooms; and builds a healthy self-esteem in kids,
focusing on who they are, not what they do. A love letter to the
child of your heart, The Miracle of You reminds children that they
are more marvelous than anything else God created and loved beyond
anything they could ever imagine.

After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the
first step in his master plan to bring the Republic to its knees.
Key to his scheme are the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation. Then
one of his Neimoidian contacts disappears, and Sidious does not
need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his
apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor down. But he is too
late. The secret has already passed into the hands of information
broker Lorn Pavan, which places him right at the top of Darth
Maul's hit list. Then, in the labyrinthine alleyways and sewers of
Coruscant, capital city of the Republic, Lorn crosses paths with
Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan on a mission to earn her Knighthood.
Now the future of the Republic depends on Darsha and Lorn. But how
can an untried Jedi and an ordinary man, stranger to the powerful
ways of the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest
killers in the galaxy?
With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66,
the Empire's power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues
to fight the good fight-against all odds and when all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living
as a private investigator, a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden.
Now a mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with
a case that needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist
lover Volette, brutally murdered hours after his triumphant
unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with obvious links to
lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Volette's killer won't be easy-too many secrets, too many
suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQ's
help, and ex-reporter Den Dhur's excellent snooping skills, the
investigation is soon operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, there's a far more efficient machine hunting Jax.
It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking
toward the final explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first
and who will die first.
After the Empire's bloody purge of the Jedi, one lone Knight still
fights for those who cannot, unaware that he's about to be swept
into a cataclysmic battle against the Master of Darkness himself.
Throughout the galaxy, a captured Jedi is a dead Jedi, even in
Coruscant's most foul subterranean slums, where Jedi Knight Jax
Pavan champions the causes of the oppressed with the help of
hard-nosed reporter Den Dhur and the wisecracking droid I-5YQ. But
Jax is also involved in another struggle-to unlock the secrets of
his father's death and his own past.
While Jax believes that I-5YQ holds some of those answers, he never
imagines that the truth could be shocking enough to catapult him to
the frontlines of a plot to kill Emperor Palpatine. Worse yet,
Darth Vader's relentless search for Jax is about to end . . . in
triumph.
The future looming over the valiant Jedi and his staunch pals
promises to be dark and brief, because there's no secret whatsoever
about the harshest truth of all: Few indeed are those who tangle
with Darth Vader . . . and live to tell the tale.
Terrot Reaveley Glover (1869 1943) was a renowned Cambridge
classicist and historian. In this book, which was first published
in 1941, Glover provides a series of sketches relating to various
archetypal figures, such as 'The Comrade' and 'The Soldier', in
their relationship with Christianity and classical modes of
thinking. The text will be of value to anyone with an interest in
theology."
"THAT'S NO MOON."
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Death Star's name says it all, with bone-chilling accuracy. It
is a virtual world unto itself-equipped with uncanny power for a
singularly brutal purpose: to obliterate entire planets in the
blink of an eye. Its annihilation of the planet Alderaan, at the
merciless command of Grand Moff Tarkin, lives in infamy. And its
own ultimate destruction, at the hands of Luke Skywalker, is the
stuff of legend. But what is the whole story, and who are the
players, behind the creation of this world-killing satellite of
doom?
The near extermination of the Jedi order cleared the way for
Palpatine-power-hungry Senator and Sith Lord-to seize control of
the Republic, declare himself Emperor, and usher in a fearsome,
totalitarian regime. But even with the dreaded Darth Vader
enforcing Palpatine's sinister will, the threat of rebellion still
looms. And the Emperor knows that only abject fear-and the ability
to punish dissent with devastating consequences-can ensure his
unchallenged control of the galaxy. Enter ambitious and ruthless
government official Wilhuff Tarkin, architect of the Emperor's
terrifying dream come true.
From inception to completion, construction of the unprecedented
Death Star is awash in the intrigues, hidden agendas, unexpected
revelations, and daring gambits of those involved on every level.
The brightest minds and boldest egos, the most ambitious and
corrupt, the desperate and the devious, all have a stake in the
Death Star-and its potential to control the fate of the galaxy.
Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the
innocent and the evil-all their paths and fates will cross and
intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its
final showdown. And a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is
stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure.

In our troubled world, protective hospitality is tragically
necessary and requires informed shared action and belief on behalf
of the threatened other. In Safeguarding the Stranger, Jayme R.
Reaves argues that protective hospitality and its faith-based
foundations, as seen in the Abrahamic traditions of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, merit greater theological attention.
Reaves shows that the practice of protective hospitality in
Christianity can be enhanced by a better understanding of Jewish
and Muslim practices of hospitality, as well as of their codes and
etiquettes related to honour. Safeguarding the Stranger draws on a
contextual and political theological approach, informed by
liberation and feminist theologies as viewed through the lens of a
co-operative and complementary theological view, which is
influenced by inter-religious, Abrahamic, and hospitable approaches
to dialogue, forecasting the positive role that religions can play
in resolving conflicts.

Covering 825,000 acres in the Coastal Plain and Brush Country of
South Texas, King Ranch, established in 1853, looms large in Texas
and American history. Its place in the popular imagination shows
through Edna Ferber's epic 1952 novel Giant, said to be based on
the story of the Kings, the Klebergs, and other founding families
of the famous ranching dynasty, and the subsequent Hollywood
blockbuster starring Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, and Rock
Hudson.In King Ranch: A Legacy in Art, editors William E. Reaves
and Linda J. Reaves have assembled a team of collaborators to
present a beautiful, informative account of the ranch, its human
and animal inhabitants, and its place in the artistic heritage of
the region. Pairing original paintings by artist Noe Perez with
insightful essays from curators and historians Bruce Shackelford
and Ron Tyler, this book is a visual and narrative celebration of
the many ways in which 'King Ranch culture' has enriched and, in
some cases, fostered appreciation for the decorative, practical,
and fine arts in Texas and the greater American West. Opening with
a foreword by Jamey Clement, current chair of the board for King
Ranch, Inc., and continuing with a survey by ranch historian Robert
Kinnan, King Ranch: A Legacy in Art affords readers a unique
appreciation of the natural beauty and artistic influence of this
legendary place.
