Distressing headlines warn of foreign cyber attacks that could threaten water, health care, power grids, and more. Cell phone and internet services are more vulnerable than we might suspect.
In this book, Emergency Preparedness and Off-Grid Communication, best-selling author Praying Medic offers his approach to prepping and using alternate forms of communication during a disruptive crisis. With the United States moving closer to war and government agencies warning of power grid attacks and other threats, it makes sense for every household to plan for a potentially extended loss of power, internet, and phone services.
This book discusses storing food and water, securing your home, developing a bug-out plan, emergency first aid, personal hygiene during a crisis, backup power options, home security, self-defense, surviving nuclear war, living under martial law, and protecting your family against the worst consequences of an economic collapse. There's even a chapter about how to navigate without GPS.
On top of all those crucial topics, this book is packed with information about emergency communication. More than a dozen chapters explain in detail the options for communicating when cellular and internet services are unavailable and the power grid is down. And, of course, Praying Medic offers ideas on building faith now for the potentially challenging times ahead.

J.R. Jamison spends his days in a world of trigger warnings and safe spaces, while his trigger-happy dad, Dave, spends his questioning why Americans have become so sensitive. Yet at the height of the 2016 election, the two decide to put political differences aside and travel to rural Missouri for Dave's fifty-five year class reunion. But with the constant backdrop of the Trump vs. Clinton battle at every turn, they are forced to explore one formidable question: Will the trip push them further apart or bring them closer together?
Traveling through the rural, sun-beaten landscapes of Missouri the two meet people along the way who challenge their concepts of right and wrong, and together they uncover truths about their family's past that reveals more than political differences, they discover a lesson on the human condition that lands them on the international pages of The Guardian.
Hillbilly Queer is an enduring love story between a dad and son who find that sometimes the differences between us aren't really that different at all.
. . . One of the most humane and challenging memoirs to come out of the Midwest . . . Indeed, we are all more than heroes and villains, and Jamison does a great job of showing how and where our humanity gets lost between the two.
-- Ashley C. Ford, author of Somebody's Daughter and host of the HBO podcast Lovecraft Country Radio
One of those rare books that finds beauty in the irreconcilable. In an age when our politics and our nation can feel broken, Hillbilly Queer shows us the messy glue of love that still holds families together. At turns powerful and vulnerable, J.R. Jamison takes the reader on a journey as profound and moving as the road trip he took with his father at the dawn of the Trump era.

We've found ourselves pitted against one another like never before.
Why has the world suddenly become so polarized?
Our beliefs about current events have us fighting against each other.
The anonymous intelligence insider known as Q says politicians and the media have created a false narrative about current events that conceal corruption from the public. Some choose to trust the media. Others choose not to. And therein lies the root of our struggle.
In this second book of the Q Chronicles series, Dave Hayes takes readers on another journey to unlock the truths hidden in the cryptic messages from the Q clearance patriot. As Q's messages are explained, readers are given a behind the scenes glimpse at how events unfold on the world stage
We'll examine the history of one of the wealthiest families of the modern age and learn how they amassed their fortune. We'll explore the corruption of the Vatican and how secret societies have controlled the destinies of nations. We'll trace the origins of the Federal Reserve and investigate the sinking of the Titanic.
Q's mission is to make the public aware of the truth of history and current events. The awareness of truth will bring about The Great Awakening- an era when society will reject the media's deception and see the world as it really is.
As we comprehend the truth, we'll understand that the real battle has never been about conservative versus liberal, black versus white. Those are merely distractions that keep us divided and controlled. The real conflict has always been about good versus evil.
Isn't it time we stopped fighting one another and focused our attention on the real battle-the fight to vanquish the forces of darkness?

It has often been said, A picture is worth a thousand words. However, the opposite can also be true-words can paint pictures of complex and significant concepts, using symbols we can see and identify with to represent things we cannot see but that are very real.
From the intimacy of the bride to the power of the kingdom and the nurturing bonds of family, we discover our identity, purpose, and interconnectedness through symbols brought to life in the pages of Scripture. Portraits of God's People invites us on a journey to explore the imagination of God and the beauty of how He expresses who His people are called to be. Through detailed observations by faithful women of God, the study of these timeless images urges us deeper into our relationship with God and our relationships with one another.
Reflect on the powerful metaphors that shape our faith and identity as the church with supplemental materials suitable for a variety of settings. Whether you are a long-time believer or a new Christian, this book offers a more profound understanding of the divine imagery that unites us and calls us to live out our distinctiveness as God's people.

Computer science is the world's fastest growing field of study, and this growth is showing no signs of slowing down. As a new field, computer science can seem intimidating, but it should not be scary to learn or difficult to understand. If you have ever turned on a phone or surfed the Internet then you have used a computer and should have a basic understanding of what happens when you click the mouse or touch the screen-and how fast it happens! Computer Science Principles introduces the creative side of computing. Once you've made your way through this book, you'll be editing photos, designing websites, coding JavaScript, and getting organized with spreadsheets-and along the way you'll learn the foundational concepts of computer science. How do computers convert information into ones and zeros and send it thousands of miles in a blink of the eye? What is an IP address? What do TCP/IP, DNS, HTML, and CSS stand for? How can a hard drive store large movies and thousands of songs? How can secrets be sent in plain sight? These questions-and more-are answered in Computer Science Principles.

Counseling for Church Leaders offers biblical and practical encouragement to church leaders-in the broadest sense-as they help the hurting. Though Bagents and Snodgrass share insights learned from decades of counseling experience and include resources for further study, their appeal flows primarily from Scripture. Their emphasis is on God's leaders helping God's people God's way.
Chapters explore God as counselor; a biblical understanding of human wellness; why people seek counseling; and the basics of listening, empathy, and emotions. Discussions include traps to avoid during counseling, the power of prevention, and practicing self-care during the helping process. How to chapters explore working with the angry, the fearful, the grieving, and the depressed. Counseling for Church Leaders also addresses helping those who are stuck and under-connected as well dealing with toxic people.
Bagents and Snodgrass affirm the ability, obligation, and opportunity for each Christian to lead by helping others. They make no argument that every Christian should become a therapist. Rather, they appeal to church leaders-at every level-to value, enhance, and practice the time-honored people-helping skills that show others the love of God.

A first love. A small hotel.
It's the summer of 1941. Europe is at war, but New York's Thousand Islands are at the height of the tourist season. Kennet Fiskare, son of a hotel proprietor, is having the summer of a lifetime, having fallen deeply in love with a Swedish-Brazilian guest named Astrid Virtanen.
