Although news of Christians being killed overseas hits major media outlets from time to time, the news quickly fades away while our fellow believers continue to suffer. Johnnie Moore, as he has done before, wants to awaken the church and American politicians to the daily horrors happening to Christians, focusing this time on Africa. While the world has been fixated on jihadist threats in the Middle East, terrorists from Nigeria to Kenya have had free reign to massacre on a scale far beyond that of the terrorists in Iraq and Syria.

The renowned radio host and one of the most trusted voices in the nation candidly and compassionately addresses the hotly contested right-to-die movement, of which she is one of our most inspiring champions. The basis for the acclaimed PBS series.

The sleeping mind is a mysterious backdrop that science is just beginning to shed light on. It was only some 60 years ago that researchers discovered REM, the rapid-eye-movement cycle that's associated with dreams. In Nightmareland, Lex "Lonehood" Nover travels into the eerie borderlands where the unconscious, dreams, and strange entities intermingle under the cover of night, revealing wider and hidden aspects of ourselves, from the savage and frightening to the astounding and sublime.

The events of Jive take place in a not-too-distant future where things have gone from bad to worse. After the pandemics (and yes, there will be more) came the Bloom, an invasion that arrived in a way that no one could have predicted. It was a genetic invasion, the ancient alien hidden in our DNA “blooming”, an event that killed a third of the world population (that’s over one billion) and mutated a third into something slightly “more” than human. They were a daunting presence - and they were in charge.

With multiple enemy lords on each front, Matt has quite the challenge before him. Even with the multiple cities he's conquered, balancing the need for more units, future updates and traitorous lords is straining his patience and knowledge. Now, the enemy armies are coming, on all sides. And the only question is whether he can hold them off and push forward, before they overwhelm his defences.

Ten years have passed since Gormon Hughes joined the Scarlet Citadel. Now a legendary agent of its power, Hughes is confronted by a much darker legend. A recent spate of killings has been tied to the old story of Spring-Heeled Jack. Approached by a grizzled officer from his home District, Hughes commits himself to solving the mystery. Does Jack really exist, or is he just a myth?

From the watery depths off the coast of Brazil, an eighty-year-old mystery emerges: the wreckage of a plane that crashed during an escape attempt by high-ranking Nazi officers at the end of World War II. The downed plane is of particular interest to historians, as it holds a watertight box in the largely undamaged cockpit that is said to contain a logbook with plans for a secret weapon developed by inventor Nikola Tesla—with which the Nazis had hoped to win the war. But the coveted container is nowhere to be found . . .

There are no victors in war. That's the refrain that goes through Matt Fang's mind. With losses mounting, not just among his units but his Heroes too, Matt is struggling with confidence and the mounting pressure. That's, of course, when a ship is sighted on the horizon; opening up a whole new front. In the final volume of the Magic Kingdom at War series, Matt is about to learn the reason why. Whether it's enough, well... even he's not certain.

Fifteen years have passed since Jack and the gang had their happy ending, and in that fifteen years, things have changed. A lot. The District, an empire led by the blood thirsty one-eyed man, is rapidly expanding, the dead are still walking, and Jack Jupiter is trekking back east. Alone.

The stories in this anthology range from quietly strange to ambitiously speculative. Humans transform into cosmic energy or sentient algae. A man wakes up in a new body in a world with continents cut out, months absent from the calendar year, and souls misplaced. Students at a high school regularly vanish without a trace. A woman descends into the depths of the ocean and encounters all-knowing creatures who may have the answers to her deepest questions.

Lizards, Goblins and the Created. Pick one and they were coming from all directions. As Matt expands, he finds himself in ever greater conflicts. Now his opponent’s are striking at him from all sides, with previously safe directions at risk. Good thing he’s got new Heroes, new units and new tricks up his sleeves. The only question plaguing him now is, why him? And what, if any, is the end game?

Still heading east, but now with two new companions, Jack Jupiter's goals have changed. Not only does he crave revenge against the one-eyed man, he now aims to save his brother from the clutches of the District. But Norm has been brainwashed into becoming the Overlord's second-in-command, and with every passing minute, the District grows stronger while our heroes grow weaker.

You will not believe what you are reading - even though it all feels so real. Only a man like Smilin’ Jack could monetize civil war. After the infamous business tycoon launches a hit TV show that pits American and Confederate gladiators in brutal battles, his grisly spectacle draws the attention of psychopaths across the nation.

For Matt, the true cost of this never-ending war has come home to roost. Not just the loss of distant lands and semi-sentient units but the loss of a friend, a Hero. Now, his fledgling kingdom is under threat and he’s got to scramble, pulling units from multiple towns to do battle with cunning new enemies.

Matt has beaten another enemy Lord, acquired even more towns. He’s establishing a foothold in this crazy afterlife of his, doing battle on multiple fronts and winning. But victory isn’t always guaranteed, there’s always a price to be paid when you face another on the field of battle. For Matt Fang, that time is coming soon. And the only question is will it break him or will he continue to be the shield that humanity requires.

You can’t have a good tale of monster hunting without monsters. And sometimes the monsters don’t need to be hunted. Sometimes it’s fun sitting back at minimum safe distance and watching the mayhem.

When you're at war with inter-dimensional enemies for the fate of humanity, every step forward just brings you closer to the enemy. Matt's realising that his new allies might be useful, but it also expands his borders. In a mad scramble to strengthen his units before he next show drops, all he can do is keep pushing.

Matt's in trouble now. The enemy lord has tricked him into over-extending, forcing Matt's Hero to retreat in disarray. Now, there's nothing stopping the enemy from launching an attack against his fort, nothing but a few last wood elemental units and Irvine himself.
