Garden City

In a small pocket of London, between the houses of No.77 and No.79 Eastbourne Road, lies a neglected community garden. It was a beautiful thing once, a little oasis in a bustling city for neighbors by day and the local foxes at twilight. Now it’s overgrown and neglected, an empty patch of greenery lost to time.

We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways. God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way.

Garden City is the middle-class Long Island village where Elliott Murphy grew up, wrote his first story (Getting Away contained herein) and learned to play guitar and eventually sing and write highly persona songs, planting the seeds for an international career as a professional singer-songwriter that has spanned nearly five decades. Still a beautiful town, with well-kept lawns and a perceptible high maintenance of American bourgeoise civility, Garden City is similar to so many suburban towns where world-class dreams begin to take shape in teenage fantasies. This collection spans centuries,...

The Lord's Prayer must be the most well-known prayer in all of mankind's history. How many billions of people have prayed in this manner for the last two thousand years? But what is not so well-known is that after the prayer was laid out to the disciples, Jesus Christ took each element from it and detailingly explained what it involved in the same sequence in which it is found in the prayer, itself! By the time He finished explaining the details of the prayer, Jesus said those who seek the Father in this manner, covering all these bases, will live an absolutely indestructible Christian life...

She has no control, no power - all she can do is watch as her twin sister, Ava Mae, lives recklessly and foolishly, slowly destroying everything Harlow has worked so hard for. Augustine needs to focus on his new role as Guardian of New Orleans, as tourists mysteriously disappear off the streets, but all he can think of is rescuing Harlow - keeping his family safe.
