"Fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14-16) in God's image (Genesis 1:29-27) - mankind, at any age, is respected and valued by his Creator. How we treat the older adult is a reflection of our spiritual life (Leviticus 19:32). Men and women in their old age should not be rejected but rather reconnected and cared for by the family and the church. Assistance should be provided to help the older adult find purpose and a way to serve God until the last breath. From the first breath all in the human race begin a journey that hopefully ends with an abundant entrance into eternal life: crossing a bridge from life's experience to life eternal, having lived a life of eternal significance and purpose... leaving a legacy for the coming generations. (See Philippians 3:12-14, 2 Peter 1:5-15 and Psalm 71:18.)""As the church prepares to minister to the wave of aging Boomers who will challenge the resources and programs of the church, it seems obvious that we need to develop a clear, consistent, and practical theology of aging. As one of the deans at Bethel Seminary I realize how important this is for training our emerging leaders. I believe that Chaplain Glenn Havumaki has penned an essential tool to train and prepare the next generation of pastoral leaders. This is a good resource for anyone who leads a church or is training to do so." Dr. Douglas W. Fombelle, Dean Emeritus Bethel Seminary.

On Ingolstadt Island, the INFERNAL ORGANS harvest you! There are, as Eliza Duran knows firsthand, any number of issues that can follow a lung transplant: surgical complications, infections, rejection. But having to confront all of her buried trauma and internalized isolation while attempting to escape a mad scientist's mansion overrun by a horror horde of rampaging organs hellbent on humanity's destruction? That's a new one, even for her. This brisk and brutal Frankenstein retelling, from the guy who ruined the end of the world in the Exponential Apocalypse series, is chock full of blood, guts, and the crippling existential terror that exists at the intersection of disability, capitalism, and societal ableism. Infernal Organs is the only novella about vicious, revivified viscera you'll ever need-and the only one written by someone who's actually had an organ transplant. And we mean, like, ever, in all of recorded history. So that's something it's got going for it, too.

T¿puna Rock is a tale of two teenage siblings raised in Canada by their M¿ori mother and Canadian father. While on vacation in Aotearoa New Zealand, their borrowed sloop is disabled in a storm with only the two teens aboard. Having lost their navigation gear, after six days adrift with no sense of direction, they beach their damaged boat on a desolate 'rock'. With no idea where they are and their boat damaged beyond repair, the teens recognize that they cannot save themselves unless they listen to the spirits of their Polynesian ancestors. Recalling knowledge shared by their M¿ori grandparents and basic science and mathematics, the protagonists reinvent enough traditional non-instrument navigation to determine where they are, design and build a boat and plot a course to sail one thousand kilometres back to Aotearoa after more than three months on their 'rock'.T¿puna Rock is written to appeal to a broad range of ages, including secondary-school students among whom engagement in science and mathematics is often declining, particularly among indigenous students. The reader becomes invested in the protagonists and their situation on a purely human level in the novel's first two chapters. In subsequent chapters the protagonists come to understand and value ancestral knowledge in the context of modern science and mathematics. In the process, the teens teach each other, and the reader.

Cooper North is back as Allen County prosecutor, called out of retirement-a wave of bizarre crimes has everyone on edge. This town's in the Green Mountains, a thousand miles north of the subtropics-yet, an alligator waddles along Main Street, scaring shoppers. Simultaneously, for no obvious reason, inept thieves steal sugar-maple logs. Then it gets serious. Sadists attack the town's pets. Meanwhile, a maple-syrup entrepreneur is murdered-someone hid yellow-jacket wasps in his sleeves. His venom allergies were widely known, so everyone in his company is a suspect. Then, knife-wielding psychopaths, costumed as Ninjas, go on a killing rampage. Cooper suspects they target people who matter to her, even a small boy. She wonders: is it all connected? Suddenly, she faces great danger, her chances of surviving miniscule. She's graying, tall, almost gaunt. She walks with a cane. She's a recovering scotch addict. Yet, her penetrating gray eyes see deep. On the hunt, she's relentless. As she and her police colleagues follow the killers' zigzagging trails, this story twists, then keeps twisting. Finally, it twists hard. You won't guess the ending.

Lost in Her Soul is the fourth in Jack Random's Poetry Series. The title was inspired by a Ukrainian woman who spoke to a reporter after her city was destroyed by Russian missiles. Some of the poems in this collection are about war. Some are about growing up in an age of global warming. Others are concerned with the state of democracy in America and the world. Still others are simply about life at the beginning of the 21st century. What connects all of the poems (there are about 275 of them) is that they were written with the intent to move the reader, to touch the heart, to stir the emotions, in the hope that by doing so they will affect positive change in the world.
A history of gay Key West starting in 1954, when the city police chief Bienvenido Perez promised to rid the island of the "scores of sex deviates" that had supposedly flocked to the island to escape a crackdown by Miami police. "The town is full of them," he said at the time. "We don't want that kind of people in Key West." Twenty-nine years later Richard Heyman, an out-and-proud homosexual, was elected mayor. But no one in 1954 would have believed it possible. There were gay rights protests and lawsuits along the way. But the change is mostly due to the gay men who moved to the island, along with those who were born in Key West, becoming part of the fabric of the community. Over the years they have served as firemen, policemen, politicians, doctors, contractors, lawyers, shopkeepers-and, of course, trolley drivers, drag queens, bartenders, and artists. This book tells their stories.
