| A fight for life. A battle for right. Attorney Mitchell Taylor is trapped in a lose-lose situation. Bright but inexperienced attorney Mitchell Taylor is torn between warring personal and professional interests. Can he help his client--a young surrogate mother--and save the child she carries without sealing the fate of others? When Dr. Nathan Brown and his wife Cameron, undergo a controversial method of invitro fertilization, some of their cloned embryos are used to achieve a pregnancy in surrogate Maryna Sareth while others are cryogenically preserved. Dr. Brown's premature death, however, and mounting evidence that the baby has Down's Syndrome unleash a legal, ethical, and moral firestorm.Dr. Brown's dying wish is that the remaining embryos be used for stem cell research. His wife wants to force the abortion of the baby Maryna carries in hopes that one of the remaining embryos can produce a "healthy" child. Meanwhile, Mitchell wrestles with an agonizing ethical dilemma: Can he protect the embryos, which requires a federal legislative ban on cloning be overturned, while at the same time helping the beautiful young surrogate save the child she carries--possible only if the ban is upheld? With time running out, Mitchell and Maryna must run the gauntlet of bioethical nightmares, corporate treachery, and life-threatening confrontations if they are to save the unborn and avoid irreparable harm. Abridged. Read by Ross Ballard II. |

| Living as an Ordinary Radical Many of us find ourselves caught somewhere between unbelieving activists and inactive believers. We can write a check to feed starving children or hold signs in the streets and feel like we've made a difference without ever encountering the faces of the suffering masses. In this book, Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. Shane's faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 in coins and bills on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. Shane lives out this revolution each day in his local neighborhood, an impoverished community in North Philadelphia, by living among the homeless, helping local kids with homework, and "practicing resurrection" in the forgotten places of our world. Shane's message will comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable . . . but will also invite us into an irresistible revolution. His is a vision for ordinary radicals ready to change the world with little acts of love. |

| Ever since humankind has lived on earth we have been teased or tormented by questions that seem programmed into our humanity. The most important go far beyond those that focus on the kind of issues millions face every day marriage problems, financial worries, failing health, pain, loneliness, insecurity and depression. They ask such things as 'Why am I here?'; 'Would it matter if I had never been born?'; 'Does life need to have any meaning?'; 'How can I get real satisfaction?'; 'Why should I believe anything?'; and 'What happens to me when I die?' Yet these questions eventually funnel into others that are even deeper: 'Is there anything beyond "one" universe?'; 'Are we biological accidents living for a blink of time in a vast and vacant cosmos?'; 'Is there other (and greater) intelligence elsewhere?'; 'Is there a theory of everything, or one reality that governs all the others?' Then comes the ultimate question: Is anybody out there? This full colour booklet explores the issues and points to the answers. |

| First published just 4 months ago, Is God past his sell-by date? has proven to be a best-seller. Christian Literature Crusade in the UK has listed this title in the top ten of its best-selling books for the last three months. Although on the same theme as Does God believe in Atheists? this is an entirely new book designed to be given to those who consider themselves to be atheists and to challenge their view. Each chapter ends with a witness who from their own personal experience support the claim made by the author in the chapter. Contributors include: Peter Sammons, A. J. Monty White, Sir Ghillean Prance and Ram Gidoomal. The book is completely up to date, deals with the many issues of our age, exposing the inadequacy of science to solve the problems of today and therefore becomes a good tool in the hands of Christians. It is not only a book for atheists and agnostics, it is very much for Christians to read in order to give a reason for the hope that is in us. Thankfully there is hope and this book not only demolishes, but also builds up a great Gospel presentation. |
