From the author of Exhalation, an award-winning short story collection that blends "absorbing storytelling with meditations on the universe, being, time and space ... raises questions about the nature of reality and what it is to be human" (The New York Times). Stories of Your Life and Others delivers dual delights of the very, very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, often presenting characters who must confront sudden change—the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens—with some sense of normalcy. With sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by beauty and wonder. An award-winning collection from one of today's most lauded writers, Stories of Your Life and Others is a contemporary classic. Includes “Story of Your Life”—the basis for the major motion picture Arrival

The renowned biblical scholar, author of The Misunderstood Jew, and general editor for The Jewish Annotated New Testament interweaves history and spiritual analysis to explore Jesus’ most popular teaching parables, exposing their misinterpretations and making them lively and relevant for modern readers. Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey his message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today, and many traditional interpretations of Jesus’ stories ignore this disparity and have often allowed anti-Semitism and misogyny to color their perspectives. In this wise, entertaining, and educational book, Amy-Jill Levine offers a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus’ narratives. In Short Stories by Jesus, she analyzes these “problems with parables,” taking readers back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. Levine reveals the parables’ connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us—and when read rightly, still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later.

The book of Ruth is a love story. Like all love stories it has twists and turns, tension and resolution, and a happy ending. But it's far more than that because it reveals to us a God who is deeply committed to caring for his people. In Boaz, God provides Ruth with a loving husband to free and provide for her, pointing us to the Bible's grand story of redemption and David’s greatest son, Jesus. Tony Merida's compelling story-telling and Christ-centered insights make this both an accessible and absorbing expository guide to the book of Ruth. It can be used for personal devotions, or for leading small-group studies, or for sermon preparation.

THE COIL LEGACY COLLECTION, Three Page-turning Novels in One Volume by D.I. TELBAT, draws us into a COIL saga of practical faith and heart-pounding conflicts. Titus Caspertein has joined the Commission of International Laborers (COIL). We follow him into perilous COIL missions, life-threatening humanitarian work, and dark plots of persecution against Christians by evil regimes. DISTANT CONTACT In Book One of The COIL Legacy, greed and Muslim extremism threaten to erase the Caspertein family. Reconciliation seems unlikely as Wynter is targeted by an assassin, and Rudy is presumed dead in the Arctic. COIL Agent and estranged brother, Titus, juggles the needs of persecuted Christians with the Iranian threat that spans from the Arkansas Ozarks to the Syrian desert. DISTANT FRONT In Book Two of The COIL Legacy, COIL Operative Steve Brookshire was kidnapped in Hong Kong two years ago. The communist Chinese government wants his intel on Underground House Churches. His work for Christ may have cost him his life. But a faint whisper about Steve draws Titus Caspertein into the heart of China to search for the missing missionary. Witness faithfulness through the worst suffering, yet watch God use these broken people for His mighty purposes! DISTANT HARM In Book Three of The COIL Legacy, Corban Dowler summons together COIL's best operatives for a covert rescue mission deep inside North Korea. With a secret missile about to launch, and executions imminent, the team must find a kidnapped couple before chaos and destruction take place. They pray they can all escape the reclusive country alive, but they know survival is highly unlikely. The world is about to change and a new dawn is on the horizon for COIL! Appendices included: 3 author notes, 5 maps, 3 character sketches, list of other books by D.I. Telbat.
