Lore Olympus : volume ten

Smythe, Rachel (Comics artist),


"This volume collects episodes 234-260 of the #1 Webtoon comic Lore Olympus"--Back cover. After years of yearning, the big day has finally arrived: Hades and Persephone are getting married! It's the ceremony of the century, and practically all the gods are invited to celebrate the happy couple. The wedding, full of love and joy, provides a much-needed respite for the pantheon . . . but the newlyweds have no time for a honeymoon. The king and queen of the Underworld begin unprecedented dives into the dream world to find the god that Kronos took hostage--and, hopefully, to get answers on defeating the furious titan once and for all. During their explorations, they begin to suspect that Persephone's powers over spring may have been altered. Their theory is proven correct with deadly consequences: When Persephone returns to the Mortal Realm, she ushers in not the regular change of seasons, but a never-ending winter. And while the gods worry about the total annihilation of the Mortal Realm, Apollo uses the chaos as cover for an attempt to kill Zeus. He claims his dying father's throne and decrees that the only way to save the Mortal Realm is if Persephone--and her power--belong to him. The others reject his outrageous demand, proposing instead that whoever can fix the failing seasons will be named interim ruler of Olympus. Hope now rests with the struggling goddess to find a way to stop the treacherous Apollo and save humankind--or else be separated from Hades forever.

The sacred chain : how understanding evolution leads to deeper faith

Stump, James, 1969-


Introduction -- Part I. Bible -- Communities of origin ; Creationism ; Finding answers ; My church lied to me ; Finding deeper faith with C.S. Lewis -- Part II. Time -- God's weekly planner ; Keeping time ; God's priorities ; Rethinking time and the Bible ; Finding deeper faith with Arundhati Roy and G.K. Chesterton -- Part III. Species -- What is a human? ; Our closest cousins ; Our ancestry in baseball cards ; Degrees and kinds in the caves ; Finding deeper faith among the redwoods -- Part IV. Soul -- What happened to the soul? ; Bones and relics ; Learning to walk ; What walking does for the soul ; Finding deeper faith with Helen Keller -- Part V. Pain -- Human evil ; Natural evils? ; What God can't do ; Building morality ; Evolving image bearers ; Finding deeper faith with Simone Weil -- Conclusion. Despite more than a century of philosophers and scientists wrestling with the relationship between evolution and religion, many people still struggle to reconcile the two. Jim Stump discovered this firsthand when he had to leave his position as a professor at a Christian college because he was open to asking these questions, and decided to approach the topics as a philosopher, scientist, and writer to research, learn, travel the world, and tell stories. Along the way, a big picture emerged that is consistent with the scientific findings about who we are and where we come from, and is consistent with religious faith. The result is The Sacred Chain, which seeks to open the dialogue on this contentious issue by drawing on philosophy, theology, and the latest scientific research to tackle some of the biggest questions today, such as: How can we hold the Bible as a sacred text and yet reconcile modern science with it? If humans are created in the image of God, what does evolution have to teach us about our species and understanding our place in creation? How can we understand the soul if the human body is the product of evolution? How does the evolutionary science help us understand how God might use pain and suffering for important and good purposes? Deeply researched and a delight to read, The Sacred Chain provides clarity in our uncertain times, revealing a bigger picture of our world and our place within it. It is a panorama consistent with the scientific findings about who we are and where we come from that can actually bolster our faith as it engages our curiosity about ourselves, our universe, and the nature of existence itself.

When breath becomes air

Kalanithi, Paul.


At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor making a living treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. Just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air, which features a Foreword by Dr. Abraham Verghese and an Epilogue by Kalanithi's wife, Lucy, chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a na$ive medical student 'possessed,' as he wrote, 'by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life' into a young neurosurgeon at Stanford, guiding patients toward a deeper understanding of death and illness, and finally into a patient and a new father to a baby girl, confronting his own mortality.

But when he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren who will challenge every assumption he hasabout his logical and controlled world. Tate and Wren find themselves forging an immediate connection, one that neither has ever experienced before. But Tate gradually discovers that below the surface of Wren's idyllic small-town life, hatred, jealousy, and greed are festering, threatening their fragile relationship just as it begins to blossom. Tate realizes that in order to free Wren from an increasingly desperate fate, he will need to unearth the truth about her past before time runs out . . . a quest that will make him doubt whether we can ever believe the stories we tell about ourselves, and the laws that govern our existence. Love--while transformative--can sometimes be frightening. A story about the power of transcendent emotion, Remain asks us all: Can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from the boundaries of life and death?
