An exhilarating faith life is a tricky business. But ask anyone who's sought after it--from the founders and members of Scum of the Earth Church in Denver to the apostle Paul, from whose letters the church took its name--and they'll tell you it's worth it.In Pure Scum Mike Sares, pastor of Scum of the Earth, takes us along a faith journey, telling the story of how a pretty normal, middle-aged guy met and became friends with Reese Roper and other members of the band, Five Iron Frenzy, and got hoodwinked by FIF and the Holy Spirit into pastoring of a vibrant church full of artists and skater punks.For anyone--pastor, church leader or plain old Christian--who wants to share the amazing grace of God with the ""left-out"" and ""the right-brained,"" Mike's story will show you what this kind of exhilaration looks like, and more importantly, what it costs. It's a tricky business, but it's worth every step and misstep.

Every lore of every clan, across time and space, dreamed of dragons. Did you ever wonder why? Erebu the Black Dragon must answer the Jade Emperor's summons to repay the debt for his miraculous resurrection from a fatal battle. Accompanying him is his Phoenix Mate, Sorin. Their success is limited by seemingly arbitrary rules and an even more arbitrary sandglass of time. The only things they can count on is that: 1) each of their quests takes them to a time in the past, 2) they will witness (and perhaps even enable) True Love along the way, and 3) the Universal Balance hangs in...well, the balance. Their fourth task is to find and retrieve the Myth of the Pale Prince. Except, this time, there’s a sudden change of players. With Sorin battling unknown demons, and Ere refusing to leave his side, Ere’s biological son Benjamin, a dragonling in training, volunteers to take up the quest in Ere’s stead. By his side is Annie, his best friend and blossoming fire witch. Two barely legal teenagers shouldering the fate of the world…What could go wrong? For this quest, Ben and Annie travel to Victorian Britain, where they meet a daydreamer wallflower, Brigid, who is much more than meets the eye, as well as a mysterious, princely stranger named Sai, who turns out to be Ere’s long-lost brother-in-arms, the very first Sea Dragon in creation. Could Sai be the Pale Prince Ben and Annie are sent into the past to find? But the quest is not so easily completed, for the four friends must battle a pervasive, ominous force of evil called the Master first. The end of the world may be just around the corner. Along the way, enemies may become lovers, reluctant friendships may form, and lots of hot, desperate, this-may-be-the-last-time-we-have-sex sex will definitely be had. And who knows, you too may help discover the… MYTH OF DRAGONS. *Fourth in the Dragon Tails series* **Spin-off from the Pure/ Dark Ones series** MF erotic romance with explicit content.
