One of the most famous writers of all time, George Orwell's life
played a huge part in his understanding of the world. A constant
critic of power and authority, the roots of Animal Farm and
Nineteen Eighty-Four began to grow in his formative years as a
pupil at a strict private school in Eastbourne. His essay Such,
Such Were The Joys recounts the ugly realities of the regime to
which pupils were subjected in the name of class prejudice,
hierarchy and imperial destiny. This graphic novel vividly brings
his experiences at school to life. As Orwell earned his place
through scholarship rather than wealth, he was picked on by both
staff and richer students. The violence of his teachers and the
shame he experienced on a daily basis leap from the pages,
conjuring up how this harsh world looked through a child's innocent
eyes while juxtaposing the mature Orwell's ruminations on what such
schooling says about society. Today, as the private school and
class system endure, this is a vivid reminder that the world Orwell
sought to change is still with us.

One of the most powerful questions we ask about the cosmos is: Are
we alone? The Possibility of Life traces the history of our
understanding of what and where life in the universe could be, from
Galileo and Copernicus through to our current tracking of
exoplanets in the Goldilocks zone, where life akin to ours on Earth
might exist. Along the way, Jaime Green studies insights from a
long tradition of science fiction that uses imagination to
extrapolate and construct worlds, in turn inspiring scientists and
their research. Bringing together expert interviews, cutting-edge
astronomy, philosophical inquiry and pop culture touchstones
ranging from A Wrinkle in Time to Star Trek, The Possibility of
Life delves into our evolving conception of the cosmos to pose an
even deeper question: what does it mean to be human?

the past cannot stay silent forever. In 1910 Michigan, Perliett Van
Hilton is a self-proclaimed rural healer, leaving the local doctor

a superstitious killer, she must rely on both the local doctor and
an intriguing newcomer for assistance. In the present day, Molly
Wasziak's life has not gone the way she dreamed. Facing depression
after several miscarriages, Molly is adapting to her husband's
purchase of a peculiar old farm. A search for a family tree pulls
Molly deep into a century-old murder case and a web of deception,
all made more mysterious by the disturbing shadows and sounds
inside the farmhouse. Perliett fights for her life, and Molly seeks
renewed purpose for hers as she uncovers the records of the dead.
Will their voices be heard, or will time forever silence their
truths? "A tale of intoxicating menace, eerie elegance, and
satisfying suspense."--BOOKLIST starred review of The Souls of Lost

A haunting legend. An ominous curse. A search for a secret buried
deep within the castle walls. In 1870, orphaned Daisy Francois
takes a position as housemaid at a Wisconsin castle to escape the
horrors of her past life. There she finds a reclusive and eccentric
Gothic authoress who hides tales more harrowing than the ones in
her novels. As women disappear from the area and the eerie
circumstances seem to parallel a local legend, Daisy is thrust into
a web that could ultimately steal her sanity, if not her life. In
the present day, Cleo Clemmons is hired by the grandson of an
American aristocratic family to help his grandmother face her
hoarding in the dilapidated Castle Moreau. But when Cleo uncovers
more than just the woman's stash of collectibles, a century-old
mystery and the dust of the old castle's curse threaten to rise
again . . . this time to leave no one alive to tell the sordid
tale. Award-winning author Jaime Jo Wright seamlessly weaves a
dual-time tale of two women who must do all they can to seek the
light amid the darkness shrouding Castle Moreau. "An imaginative
and mysterious tale."--New York Times bestselling author RACHEL
HAUCK "Jaime Jo Wright never disappoints, and The Vanishing at
Castle Moreau is no exception. With real, flawed characters who
grapple with real-life struggles, this gripping suspense novel will
draw readers in from the very first page. Good luck putting it
down. I couldn't."--LYNETTE EASON, bestselling author of the
Extreme Measures series
"Wright has proven time and again with her masterful storytelling
in exceptionally crafted novels that she is a trailblazer
extraordinaire in the niche genre combining horror, intrigue and
spirituality."--Booklist starred review To save the innocent, they
must face an insidious evil. Wren Blythe has long enjoyed living in
the Northwoods of Wisconsin, helping her father with ministry at a
youth camp. But when a little girl in the area goes missing, an
all-out search ensues, reviving the decades-old campfire story of
Ava Coons, the murderess who is believed to still roam the forest.
Joining the search, Wren stumbles upon the Coonses' cabin ruins and
a sinister mystery she is determined to unearth. In 1930, Ava Coons
has spent the last several years carrying the mantle of mystery
since the day she emerged from the woods as a thirteen-year-old
girl, spattered with blood, dragging a logger's ax. She has
accepted she will never remember what happened to her family, whose
bodies were never found, and that the people of Tempter's Creek
will always blame her for their violent deaths. And after a member
of the town is murdered, and another goes missing, rumors spread
that Ava's secret is perhaps more malicious than previously
imagined. Two women, separated by time, must confront a wickedness
that not only challenges who they are but also threatens their
lives, and the lives of those they love. Jaime Jo Wright captivates
with . . . "Fast pacing, great writing, deep spiritual truths, and
just the right amount of spookiness."--BookPage "Compassion, eerie
eloquence, and astounding intensity."--Booklist "Suspense and
spine-tingling moments."--Library Journal "Rich characterization
and intricate plotting."--Colleen Coble, USA Today bestselling
author
Most Christians are unaware of the doctrinal debates taking
place within the religious academic community. When they "are
"aware of these discussions, they may consider them irrelevant or
even harmful to Christian practice. Jaime Clark- Soles invites
seminarians, seminary faculty, and church leaders to find common
ground by considering the various debates, the reasons they
persist, the implications of each, and how they pertain to
Christian identity and faith within the larger contemporary
culture. Includes study questions.
