In the post-apocalypse, paradise can’t last for long in... THE RISE AND FALL OF GOLGONOOZA! A secluded suburban community is the last thing Maceo and Mezzy expected to find, especially one so well-preserved and well-stocked. As more people come to reside in this settlement called Golgonooza, it flourishes, and becomes a home for Mezzy and Maceo, just as they become home to each other. However, the cracks in Maceo and Mezzy’s oasis turn to chasms as their relationship stability (and that of the community) faces its first disasters! What Maceo felt for Mezzy eventually turns to terror as he doubts if he ever knew her in the first place, and even begins to fear her. The chasm between them grows–quite literally–as Golgonooza’s foundation crumbles and bubbles with a strange poison gas... New York Times bestselling, Eisner and Harvey Award-winning writer Jason Aaron (Thor, Star Wars: Darth Vader) is joined by acclaimed artist Leila del Duca (Wonder Girl: Homecoming) in the second chapter of his ambitious post-apocalyptic original series!

Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time. Can you just picture Adam and Eve sitting around and telling God about their day and the adventures they had in the Garden of Eden? It is how we connect the past to the present, keeping the details of history alive into the future. Word pictures, intricately woven with descriptive words and phrases bring to life the events of the past, the details of a missed occasion or an object lesson to teach a child. "Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today." Robert McAfee Brown "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." Hannah Arendt Jesus is a great example of a masterful storyteller. Although all his stories were not based on an actual event, they were not fiction. There was nothing but truth in them. What skill! You now have the opportunity to become a great storyteller. Here are some tips to help you make the most of each parable and each class.

Reader-friendly commentary complements succinct summaries of each section of the text and will be valuable to scholars, students, and general readers. Rather than attempt a verse-by-verse analysis, these volumes work from larger sense units, highlighting the place of each passage within the overarching biblical story. Commentators focus on the genre of each text—parable, prophetic oracle, legal code, and so on—interpreting within the historical and literary context. The volumes also address major issues within each biblical book—including the range of possible interpretations—and refer readers to the best resources for further discussions.
