The Big Comeback
"I'm not gay; I'm just Flicky's biggest fan." Hotel clerk Luke Rogers is former pop star Flicky Hernandez's biggest fan. He's not gay. He just likes Flicky. A lot. A regular guest at the hotel where Luke works looks a lot like Flicky. But wouldn't Flicky be staying at a nicer place than this? Wouldn't Flicky be traveling with an entourage? Luke isn't gay. But he's never felt love like this. "I was all alone as soon as my song fell off the charts." Alex had a one-hit wonder as "Flicky." Nowadays he keeps a low profile. Not like any fans remember him anyway. Alex sneaks off to a hotel to get away from his manipulative manager, and the desk clerk there seems to actually recognize him. The guy is straight, but so what? They can be friends. Unless they want much more. Luke meets his idol, and Alex might just find his way back to love -- if they can dodge sketchy ex-boyfriends, greedy record company executives, and a nosy parking garage attendant. The Big Comeback is a straight-to-gay/gay-for-you celebrity romance about second chances in life and love, with a feel-good HEA and love hotter than the Florida sun.

A Historical Archaeology of the Modern World
This unique book offers a theoretical framework for historical archaeology that explicitly relies on network theory. Charles E. Orser, Jr., demonstrates the need to examine the impact of colonialism, Eurocentrism, capitalism, and modernity on all archaeological sites inhabited after 1492 and shows how these large-scale forces create a link among all the sites. Orser investigates the connections between a seventeenth-century runaway slave kingdom in Palmares, Brazil and an early nineteenth-century peasant village in central Ireland. Studying artifacts, landscapes, and social inequalities in these two vastly different cultures, the author explores how the archaeology of fugitive Brazilian slaves and poor Irish farmers illustrates his theoretical concepts. His research underscores how network theory is largely unknown in historical archaeology and how few historical archaeologists apply a global perspective in their studies. A Historical Archaeology of the Modern World features data and illustrations from two previously unknown sites and includes such intriguing findings as the provenance of ancient Brazilian smoking pipes that will be new to historical archaeologists.

Saved by Grace through Faith or Saved by Decree?
This work addresses a topic of interest to many people who are seeking to better understand the Christian doctrine of salvation (soteriology). It is written to provide a systematic biblical and theological critique of a particularly popular perspective of this doctrine that has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, namely Calvinism. The book is structured around the so-called five points of Calvinism, commonly referred to by the acronym TULIP: Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints. Following an initial chapter outlining the historical development of the doctrine, each of the five points are examined in subsequent chapters. Each point is described in the words of prominent Calvinist scholars, key biblical texts purporting to support the doctrine carefully evaluated, and a series of theological issues related to the point are raised and discussed.
