Forty days of prayer will give you a hunger for God. Forty days of prayer will make you thirst for God. Forty days of prayer will empower you with the presence of God. God delights in those who worship Him in their prayer life. Allow Him to soak you with His presence during this "consecrated" time.

Ritualistic child slayings draw an FBI profiler and British mystic to the town of Junction, Alabama, just as a young woman seeks shelter on her father's farm. Rebecca Caliban is pregnant, tormented by the belief her dead husband came to her in the night, leaving her with child. She descends into madness as the investigators battle the killer, an ageless shapeshifter preying upon the innocent in service to a forgotten god. Becca's child reaches his 18th birthday as a new church rises on the site of the Changeling's pyre - and a girl goes missing in Junction. The souleater awakens, its hungry call stirring the restless spirits haunting the tiny town. And a desperate final battle begins. Previously serialized as three novellas, GIANTS IN THE EARTH is the first volume in an ongoing series, The Caliban Cycle. This edition includes never-before-published bonus material about the origins of the tale and a sneak preview excerpt from the sequel, coming in 2016.

Revitalizing the Classics is a lively introductory text that relates classical social theories to contemporary social events. This updated definition of the classics avoids the Eurocentrism and androcentrism of many textbooks of social theory by including both non-European and women social thinkers. Besides highlighting the work of Ibn Khaldun and first wave feminist scholars, this book utilizes interactive figures, original source sidebars and current illustrative examples to provide a critical alternative to the standard texts in the field. In the process, Tony Simmons shows just how relevant classical social theories are in our present world, offering us analysis and clarification of a range of issues, from war, poverty and environmental destruction, to the sensory overload experienced in the digital age and even our personal relationships and interactions. Social theories are helpful even necessary to help us understand and, most importantly, be critical of the issues, systems and institutions in our world today. 
 Revitalizing the Classics introduces students to a wide range of classical theorists and applies their theories to present-day examples: thus Durkheim s ideas are invoked to explore anomie in the digital world as well as the altruistic elements of suicide bombings in contemporary combat zones. Similarly, Ibn Khaldun s concept of asabiyya is used to explain the tribal code of the Taliban; Marx is summoned to explain the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor in Canada and around the world; and Pareto is enlisted to describe the circulation of elites in post-communist and post-colonial societies. Other sections explore and analyze the global war on terrorism and the Arab Spring. The book also includes a glossary of key concepts, giving readers an instant explanation of major terms and ideas used in each chapter. The combination of accessible writing and contemporary analysis provides a text that will empower readers to theorize and analyze many current events for themselves."

When the skies cleared over the Florida Panhandle on Oct. 10, 2018, the strongest storm ever to strike the state had left thousands devastated, and dozens dead. The survivors struggled without power, clean water or working sewer, literally digging their homes and businesses out of rubble, or from underneath fallen trees.In that raw moment, artists and writers and photographers began to process the pain. The Syndicate Studio, a Panama City-based cooperative, reached out and asked for their poems, essays, short stories, drawings, paintings and photographs created in the wake and wreckage of Hurricane Michael. The idea was to gather that pain and turn it into something positive — a compendium to be used to raise funds for local hurricane relief efforts.While the wounds were still open and raw. Before we managed distance or perspective. As we climbed out of the darkness. We wanted to understand what this world-changing, life-changing event means in the moment. To the survivors, their loved ones and friends.We were walking out of the wilderness together. Taking those first steps. This is what the first steps of the journey showed us.

How do we make sense of the rise of political strongmen like Trump and Erdo&#287;an, or the increase in hate crimes and terrorism? How can we understand Brexit and xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiments and policies? More importantly, what can we do to make it all stop? In Restless Ideas, Tony Simmons illustrates how social theory provides us with the skills for more informed observation, analysis and empathic understanding of social behaviour and social interaction. Social theory deepens our understanding of the world around us by empowering us to become practical theorists in our own lives. Simmons traces the roots of contemporary social theory back to the works of the early structural functionalists, systems theorists, conflict theorists, symbolic interactionists, and ethnomethodologists, and incorporates contemporary social thinkers theorizing from the margins who are redefining the canon. Later chapters focus on the current influence of structuration theory, feminist and queer theory, Indigenous theory, third wave critical theory, postmodernism and poststructuralism, and liquid and late modernity theories and globalization theories.
