Heartfelt and humorous stories about work, family, loss, and love bring god into everyday life in this unique and quirky devotional. You don't have to pray for hours a day -- all God asks is that you keep the holy spirit in your heart. In three hundred words (or less), Peter B. Panagore can help you build a strong relationship with God, while reminding you of what is truly important in life. From childhood pet ducks to fixing a house foundation, Two Minutes for God features anecdotes from Reverend Panagore's own life as well as those of the people and world around him to illustrate how pieces of the sacred live within everyday events. Encompassing many cultures and a wide variety of religions, Panagore does not exclude anyone from his perspectives on spirituality, prayer, and God's relationship to the world around us. Covering contemporary but timeless topics such as love, loss, healing, work, bullying, mythology, celebration, and family, Two Minutes for God provides a daily infusion of faith that will last all year long.

With Earth on the brink of war with Ada's homeworld, the Alliance has reached crisis point. While Ada faces the truths her guardian, Nell, kept from her all her life, Kay faces the backlash from his father’s last, terrible act as a council member. Nobody can be trusted, and betrayal lurks at every corner. As the inevitable cross-world war threatens everything they care about, Ada and Kay must make devastating choices.

And this time, there’s no going back… This blend of contemporary fantasy, murder mystery, and an action-packed world-hopping adventure will appeal to fans of the alternate Londons of Ben Aaranovitch and VE Schwab, the modern magic of the Dresden Files, and the genre-blending of Genevieve Cogman’s Invisible Library series and Diana Wynne Jones’s adult novels.

(The following is an excerpt from the book) There was a slight breeze in the thick humid air. Although the air was warm, it still had the effect of giving me a chill. I listened as we walked in silence and could almost hear the sound of someone calling my name ever so softly in the wind. Was it that girl I dreamt about hovering over my bed or was it him? The wind picked up slightly and felt like it was enveloping me with its invisible tentacles. The balmy air should have felt embracing, but instead it felt like moist hate.
