Ordinary MenOur lives are filled with amazing stories of impossible accomplishments by heroic men - soldiers who stared down death and somehow made it through, superheroes with incredible powers, wise men and women that formed nations, cured diseases, made life-changing inventions, and some that even conquered the world. The list goes on. These stories don't stop at the doors of our churches and Christian schools. We have all heard tales of the faith of Noah, the courage of David, the strength and love of Jesus, and so on. We have seen their movies. Like any good story, with every new telling the feats get bolder, and the actual people behind the stories get lost in the details. So what about us? What about the average person? How can we ever live up to these standards? Well, we can't. Spoiler alert! The real men in these stories didn't either. If we read the Bible and study their lives, we find that God doesn't need superheroes to accomplish the miraculous. He needs ordinary men - just like me and you.
In a far corner of space, orbiting a massive black hole, the research ship DARC12 discovers a strange asteroid-one that seems to be alive. After loading the rock on board for study, the ship quickly descends into madness. It begins with voices, whispers filling the shadows and the minds of the crew. A once-sane man declares that their discovery is not just a rock, but a god. Then the killing begins, and a cult rises, swearing allegiance to their newfound deity.As the murders mount and the dead themselves begin to rise, a small group of survivors clings to the hope that they can somehow escape the hell they've been plunged into. But their problems escalate as they face an army of undead crewmembers, the reanimated corpses of hundreds of failed genetic experiments, the murderous cult, and-worst of all-the rapidly evolving creature in...

"Ride to live, live to ride." The saying is a mantra for those who live, breathe and obsess over their motorcycles. BryanHall got his first motorcycle license at age 18 on a friend's Vespa motor scooter, and has neverlooked back. Over the past 46 years, he has owned seven motorcycles, including five Harleys,and has ridden over 350,000 miles on two wheels. "The Long Road Home" tells of a near-fatal crash in 2016, followed by years of legal wranglingand his stubborn refusal to give up riding. A fitting follow-up to his 2013 "Life Behind Bars."Bryan weaves an enthralling and emotional tale of his return to the road he loves."The Long Road Home" is a refreshing, intimate and inspirational memoir. It'sengaging travel literature. (He covers so much of the United States.) It's jam packedwith historical information along with broad statements on the intrinsic values of theUnited States and Freedom and the Liberty to choose our own paths. Yes. It's allthat."Foster Kinn, author of the best-selling Freedoms's Rush Books
The importance of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason in the history of philosophy is matched only by its difficulty. In particular, readers are often frustrated by how difficult it is to extract Kant's arguments from his dense prose. This book reconstructs, using the tools of propositional logic, the central arguments of the Critique. In all, the book reconstructs thirty-six of Kant's arguments spanning the Transcendental Aesthetic, Transcendental Analytic, and Transcendental Dialectic. For each argument, they begin with a quote from Kant's text followed by a synopsis that explains the argument informally. Finally, each synopsis is followed by a formal reconstruction of the argument. The synopses offer examples, metaphors, historical background, and objections/responses to aid the reader in appreciating Kant's arguments. Even though many readers who approach Kant for the first time have a good philosophical vocabulary, few will understand Kant's unique lexicon. In addition to formally reconstructing Kant's arguments, the book also includes a glossary that defines the technical terms that Kant uses in his arguments. Finally, since this book is directed largely at students, Bryan Hall enlisted two of his own students to ensure that the book is maximally student friendly. In contrast to most pedagogical philosophical literature, the content of this book has been tailored by students for students.
