Hostage Lands
Neil Perkins, a Latin student at Haltwhistle Grammar School in England, unearths an ancient Roman manuscript. He dedicates himself to study Latin and so uncovers a story of treachery and betrayal from the third century. Disaffected centurion, Rusticus, serves Rome at Hadrian's Wall, an unruly frontier. A Celt named Calum, who was deeply changed when he saw Christians martyred in the Roman Coliseum, saves Perkins from a massacre. Not only will you learn the differences between ancient paganism and the primal Christian faith practiced in third-century Britain, but you will discover a more thoughtful approach to life as a result.
The Mighty Weakness of John Knox
John Knox, the great Reformer of Scotland, was once a slave in a French galley but rose to stand against powerful monarchs. Yet he was a small man, often ill, and frequently filled with fears and doubts. How did one so weak in body and mind accomplish so much? In The Mighty Weakness of John Knox, Douglas Bond reveals the answer: Knox was strong in the Spirit, for he was submissive to the will of God and cared for the glory of Christ rather than his own. God strengthened him in his submission to do far more than he could have accomplished in his own power. For those who see themselves as too weak, too small, too timid, or simply too ordinary for service in God's kingdom, Knox's life offers a powerful message of hope. This book presents the biblical truth that God often delights to work most powerfully through people who are most weak in themselves but most strong in Him. This book is part of the Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, edited by Dr. Steven Lawson.

Fashioning James Bond

Addressing each Bond film in turn, Chapman questions why costumes are an important tool for analysing and evaluating film, both in terms of the dev...
