Book Description
In 1903, racing for the America’s Cup was no longer a gentleman’s game – it had become a race entangled with political tension and awesome, dangerous stakes. In this pivotal year, the two great rivals Britain and America raced head to head, with Britain determined to win with their privately funded Shamrock III, and America’s bravado backed up by Reliance. Reliance was a yacht like no other – a work of beauty carrying more sail than any single-masted boat before. Some believed that the boat towering 190 feet above the water was simply too dangerous, but the race called for such staggering risk. Pastore brings life to this strikingly astounding vessel from conception, to construction, to the hair-raising trials at sea. It is simply one of the most exciting sea tales ever told.

Spells and prophecies sew havoc in the fight for humankind in the 4th novel of the #1 New York Times bestselling author’s epic fantasy series.

But while Richard has the brave people of D’Hara at his command, Emperor Jagang of the Imperial Order has a significant advantage: he doesn’t fight fair.

Book Description
By the turn of the twentieth century, racing for the America's Cup was no longer simply a gentleman's game. Fraught with danger and political tension, the contest for the Cup had become a showcase of technological innovation and national grit. In 1903, the fabulously wealthy tea tycoon, Sir Thomas Lipton, gave Britain's most celebrated naval architects carte blanche to produce Shamrock III. In response, the American designer Nathanael G. Herreshoff built Reliance, a defender that was so big and bold carrying more canvas than any single-masted vessel ever before that it ushered in a new era of naval architecture and fundamentally shaped the future of the America's Cup. From conception to construction, through hair-raising sea trials to the grand finale of a race like no other, this beautiful and dangerous vessel comes to life in Temple to the Wind, one of the most exciting sailing stories ever told."

Book Description
The Times Are Urgent God Is on the Move Now Is the Moment to ... ask God to ignite his fire in your soul! Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew his people-to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy, and lukewarm religion. Cymbala knows the difference firsthand. Thirty-five years ago his own church, the Brooklyn Tabernacle, was a struggling congregation of twenty. Then they began to pray ... God began to move ... street-hardened lives by the hundreds were changed by the love of Christ ... and today they are more than ten thousand strong. The story of what happened to this broken-down church in one of America's toughest neighborhoods points the way to new spiritual vitality in the church and in your own life. Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire shows what the Holy Spirit can do when believers get serious about prayer and the gospel. As this compelling book reveals, God moves in life-changing ways when we set aside our own agendas, take him at his word, and listen for his voice.

Book Description
In To Catch the Wind's exciting sequel, the young Egyptian Baraka is shocked to learn he may be next in line to the throne of Egypt. After the death of his mother, Princess Tanafriti, daughter of Pharaoh Merenptah and first wife of King Solomon, Baraka is charged with carrying out her dying wish and returning the only remaining copies of King Solomon's writings to Jerusalem. When Baraka sails with his friend Dov, they must rely on the wind of the Lord to safely deliver them, especially when Baraka learns he may be the only survivor of Pharaoh Merenptah's dynasty and next in line to the throne of Egypt. As Baraka and his father, Kamenwati, seek Egyptians faithful to Pharaoh Merenptah's family, the adventure continues through a deadly chase across the burning deserts of ancient Egypt. Led into the underground chambers of an ancient temple, the travelers make a startling discovery and solve the mystery of a long-lost relative. But the peril of the desert is matched by betrayal within the band of travelers. The usurper of the Egyptian throne, Amenmose, has crushed his opponents and is now trying to destroy Baraka and his men. Will the rightful man become pharaoh, or will Amenmose continue his oppression? In The Wind of the Lord William Collins's characters learn the importance of faith in the one true God and of allowing Him to guide them into new and exciting directions as they encounter the unexpected.
