DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Ollie had rebel in her genes; at least the half she knew about. From her Grandpa's stint as a stuntman to her mama's tendency to take flight, perhaps it wasn't surprising to find herself in a runaway sleigh wearing six-inch-heeled stripper boots. What did surprise her was to discover that the man in her past that tried to help her when she was making her worst mistake would be the one rescuing her now. Adam Striker had been driving when she took a detour back then, a side road that cost her dearly. Now he was larger than life in her present too, there to witness as something deep inside drove her to take risks she wouldn't ordinarily take. From roof ledges to abominable ice men, he seemed determined to give her a ride in his car. She couldn't help but fall in love with his kindness and cherish the fact he'd always been a man she could trust. But she couldn't embrace a future with him, not yet. Not until she'd completed her wild mama's mission for her- to find her own daddy, and fix the mistakes of the past. If he was patient and drove real fast, he might be able to catch her runaway heart.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Harry Potter series of books and movies are wildly popular. Many Christians see the books as largely if not entirely harmless. Others regard them as dangerous and misleading. In his book A Landscape with Dragons, Harry Potter critic Michael O'Brien examines contemporary children's literature and finds it spiritually and morally wanting. His analysis, written before the rise of the popular Potter books and films, anticipates many of the problems Harry Potter critics point to. A Landscape with Dragons is a controversial, yet thoughtful study of what millions of young people are reading and the possible impact such reading may have on them. In this study of the pagan invasion of children's culture, O'Brien, the father of six, describes his own coming to terms with the effect it has had on his family and on most families in Western society. His analysis of the degeneration of books, films, and videos for the young is incisive and detailed. Yet his approach is not simply critical, for he suggests a number of remedies, including several tools of discernment for parents and teachers in assessing the moral content and spiritual impact of this insidious revolution. In doing so, he points the way to rediscovery of time-tested sources, and to new developments in Christian culture. If you have ever wondered why a certain children's book or film made you feel uneasy, but you couldn't figure out why, this book is just what you need. This completely revised, much expanded second edition also includes a very substantial recommended reading list of over 1,000 books for kindergarten through highschool.
