Book Description
The end is here. The world has been consumed by a tidal wave of radiation that wipes out over half of the population. Some survive with no mutations and stay as they were before. Others become something more. Something different, new, yet ancient. Alora was a normal woman with lots of ambitions and dreams, or at least she thought. All of that changed when the end came and she was one of the first to mutate. With the blood of the ancient Gods running through her veins, she became a force to be reckoned with as the New God Queen. While out trying to help the last of the human race, she is captured and taken prisoner. After screaming for help, she ruptures her vocal cords and becomes mute, making communication difficult. Calum was a soldier and was on leave visiting family and all his friends back home when things went terribly wrong. The group was lucky enough to survive the radiation, unlike three-fourths of the human race, and have no mutations. Now the group is on the move and looking for a safe place to live away from the Titans, Monsters and New Gods. That is until they see their old friend Alora again and realize what she has become. Follow this group of friends turned warriors as they battle together in the post-societal world. Will they find peace? Will they find more survivors? Will that old spark of love still be there? And who will survive the trials ahead?

Two centuries have passed since civilization's collapse, and in its wake, humanity has risen again, building two new cities. As immortal Gods, we observe our human friends lead fulfilling lives filled with love, family, and eventual departure from this world. Meanwhile, our own children matured, started families of their own, and peacefully passed away while we remained forever young. Immortality weighed heavily upon us, but we endured it together. As time wore on, each divine couple chose to retreat into seclusion, seeking a simple existence while silently watching humanity's growth from a distance. However, our tranquil existence is shattered when someone discovers that the New Gods still walk among mortals. A relentless pursuit ensues, as a rebel group sets out to hunt us down. In the face of this peril, the New Gods must confront the possibility of their own demise. Will any of us survive the onslaught orchestrated by these malevolent criminals? The fate of Calum and Alora, among others, hangs in the balance once again. Will their love survive?

Book Description
In the second century, Platonist and Judeo-Christian thought were sufficiently friendly that a Greek philosopher could declare, "What is Plato but Moses speaking Greek?" Four hundred years later, a Christian emperor had ended the public teaching of subversive Platonic thought. When and how did this philosophical rupture occur? Dylan M. Burns argues that the fundamental break occurred in Rome, ca. 263, in the circle of the great mystic Plotinus, author of the Enneads. Groups of controversial Christian metaphysicians called Gnostics ("knowers") frequented his seminars, disputed his views, and then disappeared from the history of philosophy—until the 1945 discovery, at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, of codices containing Gnostic literature, including versions of the books circulated by Plotinus's Christian opponents. Blending state-of-the-art Greek metaphysics and ecstatic Jewish mysticism, these texts describe techniques for entering celestial realms, participating in the angelic liturgy, confronting the transcendent God, and even becoming a divine being oneself. They also describe the revelation of an alien God to his elect, a race of "foreigners" under the protection of the patriarch Seth, whose interventions will ultimately culminate in the end of the world. Apocalypse of the Alien God proposes a radical interpretation of these long-lost apocalypses, placing them firmly in the context of Judeo-Christian authorship rather than ascribing them to a pagan offshoot of Gnosticism. According to Burns, this Sethian literature emerged along the fault lines between Judaism and Christianity, drew on traditions known to scholars from the Dead Sea Scrolls and Enochic texts, and ultimately catalyzed the rivalry of Platonism with Christianity. Plunging the reader into the culture wars and classrooms of the high Empire, Apocalypse of the Alien God offers the most concrete social and historical description available of any group of Gnostic Christians as it explores the intersections of ancient Judaism, Christianity, Hellenism, myth, and philosophy.

Book Description
The ongoing political muscle-flexing of diverse Christian communities in North America raises some deeply troubling questions regarding their roles among us. Earlier analyses including Herberg's Protestant, Catholic, Jew showed that these three branches of the Judaeo-Christian tradition correspond to three forms of the American way of life; while Kruse's One Nation Under God showed how Christian America was shaped by corporate America. Willem H. Vanderburg's Secular Nations under New Gods proceeds based on a dialogue between Jacques Ellul's interpretation of the task of Christians in the world and Ellul's interpretation of the roles of technique and the nation-state in individual and collective human life. He then adds new insight into our being a symbolic species dealing with our finitude by living through the myths of our society and building new secular forms of moralities and religions. If everything is political and if everything is amenable to discipline-based scientific and technical approaches, we are perhaps treating these human creations the way earlier societies did their gods, as being omnipotent, without limits. Vanderburg argues that until organized Christianity becomes critically aware of sharing these commitments with their societies, it will remain entrapped in the service of false gods and thereby will continue to turn a message of freedom and love into one of morality and religion.

Book Description
The warrior woman known as Infidel is legendary for her superhuman strength and skin tough as chain mail. She’s made few friends during her career as a sword-for-hire, and many powerful enemies. Following the death of her closest companion, Infidel finds herself weary of life as a mercenary and sets her eyes on one final prize that will allow her to live out the rest of her days in luxury, the priceless treasure trove of Greatshadow. Greatshadow is the primal dragon of fire. His malign intelligence spies upon mankind through every flickering candle, patiently waiting to devour victims careless with even the smallest flame. The Church of the Book has assembled a team of twelve battle-hardened adventurers to slay the dragon once and for all. But tensions run high between the leaders of the quest who view the mission as a holy duty and the super-powered mercenaries who add power to their ranks, who dream only of Greatshadow’s vast wealth. If the warriors fail to slay the beast, will they doom mankind to death by fire? Greatshadow is the first book in an exciting new adventure series, blending superheroes and epic fantasy into a unique take on both genres.
