It was specifically in response to this burgeoning culture of spirits and magic that they produced notions of a disenchanted world.

The small mountain town of Five Peaks has a secret. It’s home to dragons. Mighty beasts that keep the skies and the streets clear of supernatural crime. They live apart, rarely venturing among the humans they are charged to protect. When they do, it’s in search of love…or to chase down a rogue enemy. This box set contains the first four stories of the Five Peaks dragon clans, and their quest for love unending. A bond that will burn brighter than their strongest fire, and last longer than the oldest tales.

Taking an accessible approach to biblical theology, author Sam Storms explores Scripture to address what God's love is and what it isn't. Drawing insights from the Psalms and the life of Jesus, Storms covers God's sovereignty and the saving power, longevity, and sin-killing nature of his love. The Steadfast Love of the Lord breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God's vast and unfathomable love.
