Greer starts poking around, and the more she digs, the more it seems like everyone she knows is trying to hide something.

The Modern Age is one of information overload. Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night. It’s exhausting.

First given as a series of lectures at Cambridge University, Aspects of the Novel is Forster's analysis of this great literary form. Here he rejects the 'pseudoscholarship' of historical criticism - 'that great demon of chronology' - that considers writers in terms of the period in which they wrote and instead asks us to imagine the great novelists working together in a single room. He discusses aspects of people, plot, fantasy and rhythm, making illuminating comparisons between novelists, the features shared by their books and the ways in which they differ.

The only problem is, Xan’s already taken, and the man he’s with is dangerous.

In Preacher & Prayer, Bounds explains that prayer is the key to deeper, more impactful sermons as well as a life that is more genuine and modeled after Christ. Focusing on anything else leads to superficial sermons, tainted intentions, and a weak understanding of God. E.M. Bounds cites great men of God and their emphasis on consistent and intentional prayer. A pastor’s prayer life should be always growing—gaining depth and knowledge in time spent with God.

Even after reuniting with my beloved, the villainess Green Phoenix, the work of an immortal is never done. Learning of a plot to take over the world using my old mind control virus, I know I must act.

If someone were to learn the truth, they could undo my greatest work or worse.
