“Henry Smith’s father told him that if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you.” But Trouble comes careening down the road one night in the form of a pickup truck that strikes Henry’s older brother, Franklin. In the truck is Chay Chouan, a young Cambodian from Franklin’s preparatory school, and the accident sparks racial tensions in the school—and in the well-established town where Henry’s family has lived for generations. Caught between anger and grief, Henry sets out to do the only thing he can think of: climb Mt. Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine, which he and Franklin were going to climb together. Along with Black Dog, whom Henry has rescued from drowning, and a friend, Henry leaves without his parents’ knowledge. The journey, both exhilarating and dangerous, turns into an odyssey of discovery about himself, his older sister, Louisa, his ancestry, and why one can never escape from Trouble.

In this, a sequel to Richard Varner’s first novel, The Journalist’s Children, the American Correspondent, Linda Hara, returns to Cruxville, Illinois after decades in Asia to confront the most daunting challenge of her life – facing her past. Linda is forty-eight, broke and has in tow her three-year-old, adopted Japanese kid, Naomi. She quickly settles into doing what Linda Hara does best, writing a provocative book -- Why We Are All Niggers ... And Racists, her deeply personal attack on the racist past which had destroyed her own family and sent her father to a mental institution for attempting to kill his then two-year-old daughter, Linda. The international adoption of Naomi forces Linda Hara to confront the role racism played in the formation of her own identity. Unexpectedly, Linda comes into a vast fortune, though of questionable origin, and she finds herself with the means to put to work in the real world the ideas for eradicating racism developed in her book. Now well financed, Linda’s plans gain the support of a renowned anthropologist, Professor Emeritus Hartford Keys, in whose field race has been discredited for decades as a baseless notion. Dr. Keys introduces Linda to his academic colleagues as well as to professors at the business school with the financial and media savvy to stir up the world. What ensues is the most treacherous conflict of Linda Hara’s long career as a journalist. The Japanese underworld attempts to recover their lost assets, which have been diverted through a cunning plan into Linda Hara’s control. The gangsters are joined in attacking Linda by religious fundamentalists, white supremacists, a conservative talk show host and an enraged black scholar, not to mention mainstream America, all of whom vehemently reject her far reaching plans for education and popular culture, plans which within a few short days after publication of her book manage to capture worldwide attention through a media blitz. Like Galileo four hundred years before her, Linda Hara finds herself paying a dreadful price for being out ahead of her time with ideas that will change the way people view themselves, ideas that explain -- Why We Are All Niggers ... And Racists.

This beautifully illustrated children's book invites kids to explore God's design for ethnic diversity and challenges readers—both parents and children—to learn and live out counter-cultural, biblical views, fostering a lifelong celebration of diversity for the glory of God. Designed for four- to eleven-year-olds, God Made Me AND You by Shai Linne is the second book in the God Made Me series, starting with God Made All of Me by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb. Because Scripture teaches that ethnic diversity is not something that should be tolerated but rather enthusiastically embraced, Christian hip hop artist Shai Linne helps children, parents, and caregivers to celebrate this biblical truth through a lyrical, rhyming style and colorful illustrations. God Made Me AND You is an approachable guide for families to begin conversations about cultivating a God's perspective on ethnic diversity, confronting the sins of racism, bigotry, and ethnic pride. Because children learn from family members, media, or peers, parents and caretakers have a responsibility to teach their children what God has to say about the beauty of diversity in his image-bearers, with a particular focus on ethnic diversity. This colorful and compelling children's book serves as a resource and lifelong gift for children and parents, helping families understand diversity from a biblical perspective and with a clear picture of the beauty and glory of God.

This doomsday masterpiece from the author of Eon and Hull Zero Three was a finalist for the Hugo and Nebula awards. On July 26, Arthur Gordon learns that Europa, the sixth moon of Jupiter, has disappeared. Not hiding, not turned black, but gone. On September 28th, Edward Shaw finds an error in the geological records of Death Valley. A cinder cone was left off the map. Could it be new? Or, stranger yet, could it be artificial? The answer may be lying beside it—a dying Guest who brings devastating news for Edward and for Planet Earth. As more unexplained phenomena spring up around the globe—a granite mountain appearing in Australia, sounds emanating from the earth’s core, flashes of light among the asteroids—it becomes clear to some that the end is approaching, and there is nothing we can do. In The Forge of God, award-winning author Greg Bear describes the final days of the world on both a massive, scientific scale and in the everyday, emotional context of individual human lives. Facing the destruction of all they know, some people turn to God, others to their families, and a few turn to saviors promising escape from a planet being torn apart. Will they make it in time? And who gets left behind to experience the last moments of beauty and chaos on earth? Nominated for the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards, The Forge of God is an engrossing read, breathtaking in its scope and in its detail.
