It is 1841. Japanese fisherman Shima and his younger brother are wrecked on an uninhabited island by a typhoon. Rescued by a passing Yankee whaling ship, they become unwilling passengers in a world filled with foreign faces, an unfamiliar language, and a hostile chief mate. But when the reclusive captain suddenly falls ill, Shima and third mate Daniel Ellis stumble upon a secret from his past that brings together their previously isolated worlds. Inspired by the true story of John Manjiro, one of the first Japanese-Americans and later interpreter to the shogun, "The Sea-God at Sunrise" is a tale of friendship and forgiveness across two cultures at the height of America's Golden Age of Whaling.

The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word. How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process? In Practicing the Power, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel. With examples drawn from his forty years of ministry as a pastor and teachers, Storms offers a guidebook that can help pastors, elders, and church members understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts. If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.

Larry Gordon provides thought-provoking tales about life, love, joy, grief, compassion, and kindness. He writes with intrigue and humor. His stories take you from a sacrificial mayfly, surfing an eddy in the waters of a trout stream, to a pantheon ballroom in the cosmos where Jupiter and Saturn dance cheek to cheek. From two matches burning bright in the chilly night sky of the Los Angeles Coliseum to the twin peaks of Granite Mountain in Arizona and Mount Sinai halfway around the world. Each story is anchored with God's whisper--his word engraved in love. Each chapter begins with a new day. And with each dawn begins another moment of truth--a time for joy, a time for sorrow, but most of all, a time to care! The Seventh Sunrise is chock-full of wisdom hidden in the most obscure of places. And within each concealed spot is a sanctuary cloaked with God's fingerprints.

When historian Manro Lu travels to China to uncover a mysterious family heirloom, she discovers much more than ancient secrets. There, she crosses paths with handsome professor Jafung Yu, sparking an unexpected yet undeniable attraction. Linked by a broken 800-year-old jade pendant, Manro and Jafung find themselves inexplicably drawn together as they piece together clues about the artifact’s past owners - two forbidden lovers separated by war. Emotions intensify amid quiet moments on scenic bridges and candlelit ancient temples. Yet with so much history and baggage in Manro’s delicate mission, what future can two young romantics share when the past pulls them apart? From the picturesque rivers of Xiangyang Shire to the bustling streets of Xiangyang City, experience the blooming passion between a Korean expatriate and a local Chinese scholar. Two hearts brought together by a name and torn asunder by time find that love can bridge more than culture, generations, wars, and broken pendants.
