Brother and sister Merrie and Joey visit the carnival at the invitation of their cousin. A trip into the House of Mirrors makes them realize things are not what they seem. Things that appear truthful are not always so, which makes these curious siblings wonder, “What is Truth?” They soon meet an unusual friend: a beautiful, wise white unicorn named Providence. Together, they journey to seek Truth. They look in many places. They search through the printed word, the media, and the opinions of their peers. The children even investigate the truth of drugs, magic, and emotions. Eventually, with Providence’s help, Merrie and Joey learn of the ongoing war between the great Truth Maker and the Truth Hater. They must choose a side in this war, and the decision they make could lead others to Truth or into darkness.

Spells and prophecies sew havoc in the fight for humankind in the 4th novel of the #1 New York Times bestselling author’s epic fantasy series. Having taken his rightful place as Lord Rahl, ruler of D’Hara, Richard must once again postpone his wedding to Kahlan Amnell in order to face the fearsome Imperial Order in a fight for the New World and the freedom of humankind. But while Richard has the brave people of D’Hara at his command, Emperor Jagang of the Imperial Order has a significant advantage: he doesn’t fight fair. Jagang invokes a prophecy that binds Richard and Kahlan to a fate of pain, betrayal, and a path to the Underworld. At Jagang’s behest, a Sister of the Dark gains access into the fabled Temple of the Winds and unleashes a plague that sweeps across the lands like a firestorm. To stop the plague, Richard and Kahlan must risk everything they have—and everything they’ve hoped for.

When it appeared in 1887, H. Rider Haggard's She caused a sensation and became one of the best-selling novels of the nineteenth century. The idea of a powerful woman endowed with immortal beauty and penetrating intellect ruling a savage people among the ruins of a vanished civilization in the heart of Africa captivated Victorian readers. Freud recommended the book to his patients. Jung equated its imaginative power with Dante's Inferno and Wagner's Ring. Continuing to fascinate later twentieth-century readers, the book has never been out of print and has won new audiences through numerous film versions. This is the first annotated edition of She. Locating the novel within the context of late-Victorian fiction and British imperialism, Norman Etherington provides biographical information regarding Haggard and elucidates references in the text of this archaeological romance.

From the vantage point of eighty years, a highly regarded scientist and theologian surveys the full spectrum of critical issues between science and theologyJohn Polkinghorne, an international figure known both for his contributions to the field of theoretical elementary particle physics and for his work as a theologian, has over the years filled a bookshelf with writings devoted to specific topics in science and religion. In this new book, he undertakes for the first time a survey of all the major issues at the intersection of science and religion, concentrating on what he considers the essential insights for each. Clearly and without assuming prior knowledge, he addresses causality, cosmology, evolution, consciousness, natural theology, divine providence, revelation, and scripture. Each chapter also provides references to his other books in which more detailed treatments of specific issues can be found.For those who are new to what Polkinghorne calls "one of the most significant interdisciplinary interactions of our time," this volume serves as an excellent introduction. For readers already familiar with John Polkinghorne's books, this latest is a welcome reminder of the breadth of his thought and the subtlety of his approach in the quest for truthful understanding.

Jewish dreams of a third temple on Temple Mount seem thwarted by the Islamic shrine the Dome of the Rock, or Qubbat As-Sakhrah. But was this where the biblical temples ever actually stood? What if this was never the correct site? What if there is nothing to prevent the temple being built on its actual correct site, the site known through the ages as the Place? Adam, Melchizedech, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and many more through to Jesus and the apostles all have this in common: their lives and ministries centred around and related to what had become known as the Place. What is the Place? Where is it? And what is its extraordinary meaning and significance? Take a captivating narrative journey of discovery from Adam to John as the mystery of the Place unfolds.
