In response to a world awash in sexual chaos and gender confusion, this book offers a bold and thoroughly biblical look at the meaning of the body, sex, gender, and marriage. Bestselling author, cultural commentator, and popular theologian Christopher West is one of the world's most recognized teachers of John Paul II's Theology of the Body. He specializes in making this teaching accessible to all Christians, with particular attention to evangelicals. As West explains, from beginning to end the Bible tells a story of marriage. It begins with the marriage of man and woman in an earthly paradise and ends with the marriage of Christ and the church in an eternal paradise. In our post-sexual-revolution world, we need to remember that our bodies tell a divine story and proclaim the gospel itself. As male and female and in the call to become "one flesh," our bodies reveal a "great mystery" that mirrors Christ's love for the church (Eph. 5:31-32). This book provides a redemptive rather than repressive approach to sexual purity, explores the true meaning of sex and marriage, and offers a compelling vision of what it means to be created male and female. Foreword by Eric Metaxas.

The Empress of Ice has plagued the Illyander Kingdom for generations. From her Glacial Palace in the Frozen March, she strengthens her magic and builds her army comprised of savage ice orcs and men alike.

With the rise of adversity so too champions are born from its conflicts. In a remote pass in the World's Edge Mountains lies the town of Snowhaven, renowned home of Illyander's Warrior and Sorcerer Schools.

After strange events touch all their lives, the three find themselves drawn together and embroiled in the Ice Queen's plot to claim the world as her own empire that would mirror the horrors festering in the dark caves below her glacial fortress. As the three youths journey throughout the world of Aronshae on their quest for answers, even more questions are raised as they find out more about each other, themselves and their strange emerging powers.
