In the year 2096, an epidemic known as the K12 virus has infected the entire human race, killing billions and leaving the world in chaos. Now with no leadership, a group of the most powerful companies on Earth have come together to create a one-world government called the UTO. This new alliance will find a cure to save the world, but there's a catch. Everyone must receive a booster shot once a year. Also, the vaccine comes with a marker that attaches to your DNA, making it possible for those in power to track your every move. Now in 2305, the cost to get an injection is so high that parents must sell one child to save the others. So how can two fifteen-year-old girls from 1865 and one young boy from 1995 save the world and change their family's legacy?

This book invites you into conversation with some of the great minds who have formed history; those who have thought and dreamed great things, shaping and moulding the culture and the civilisation we have inherited. Silent Legacy is the story of philosophy: from ancient Greece to the contemporary West; a primer, an introduction to digging a little deeper. In this book we see the gradual rippling out of Kantian consequence; from Nietzsche's deconstruction of objective morality, to Kierkegaard's subjectivity, Wittgenstein's deconstruction of self, Foucault's critique of power, and Derrida's deconstruction of language. The gradual loss of confidence in philosophy, and in the objective knowability and reality of the world, leaves us standing at the cross-roads once more. We observe how one thinker's words inspire or infuriate another, prompting them to more words and action. We ponder the cost of all this, considering the massive intellectual and social repercussions, for instance, of Rousseau's, Nietzsche's and Derrida's work. As ideas permeate down from the academic ivory tower to the street, the pub and the cafe, we can see them begin to affect wider culture and the way we live our lives. Platonic longing for the transcendent, Aristotelian scientific method, Nietzschean rejection of weakness, Rousseau's emphasis on freedom, Cartesian dualism or postmodern suspicion of authority - we can see them all in our contemporary world, still forming our legal, cultural, moral and popular culture. To grapple with these giants of philosophy, politics and thought, we must be brave and unafraid, but more than that, willing "to strive, to seek, to find" and, if yielding, doing so only to conviction and truth.

This is my life, and what the hell happened to it? Do you feel that your life is out of control and that one more loss is too much to handle? Do you obsessively try to control your world into a safe and loving place? Do you obsessively worry about your tomorrows and all the “what ifs”? Do have issues with trust or emotional intimacy with others? Do you carry anger toward other people, places, and things that may be a part of your past? Do you feel that you are fighting just to survive? Do you long for true love and belongingness? Do you feel emotionally that you are not safe? Do you doubt yourself and your abilities to live life your way? Do you worry that if people found out who you truly are, they will reject you? Do you feel that you need to earn others’ respect? Do you constantly feel shame and guilt just because you exist? Are you consistently trying to prove that you are worthy? Do you consistently isolate when times get hard? Do you focus on fitting in rather than sharing who you are? Do you compulsively drink, do drugs, exercise, eat, starve, etc. to kill the pain of anxiety? Do you struggle with initiating new projects or perhaps keeping a job? This then is the legacy of childhood trauma. It represents the obstacles we all face as we take our journey into healing. You can overcome. We all can.

Kobe Bryant’s legacy of uplifting and inspiring young athletes continues in this highly anticipated follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller Legacy and the Queen. Legacy Petrin is a national tennis champion, but she doesn’t feel like one. At the orphanage where she grew up, far from the city where she learned to shine, Legacy struggles to focus on her training. Her famous magical inner light dims and darkens until she barely recognizes herself. Then a girl who looks exactly like Legacy—same burlap dress, same signature glow—starts playing in Legacy’s name. She wins matches in the city, makes charming speeches in support of “Queen” Silla, and gains a devoted following. Soon, Silla issues a decree against impersonating champions, which means that the real Legacy could be arrested simply for looking like herself. To reclaim her name and her identity, Legacy has no choice but to compete in disguise . . . until she can rise through the ranks, face off against her imposter, and prove that she is the one and only Legacy Petrin—a champion who was born to shine.

That’s all about to change when she hears about Silla’s tournament. Set – Silla, the ruler of Nova, hosts an annual tournament for the less fortunate of her citizens to come and prove themselves and win entrance to the Academy, where they can train to compete at nationals. The prize is Silla’s favor and enough cash to keep open the orphanage, and Legacy has her heart set on both. Magic – What Legacy has yet to know is that the other players have something besides better skills and more money than she does. In Nova, tennis can unlock magic. Magic that Silla used to save the kingdom long ago and magic that her competitors have been training in for months already. Now, with the world turned against her and the orphanage at stake, Legacy has to learn to use her passion for the game to rise above those around her and shine.

An uplifting look at three famous and flawed fathers of the Christian church and how their lives can inspire us to fall in love with God and find the power to overcome our weaknesses. Augustine grappled with sexual passion. Martin Luther struggled to control his tongue. John Calvin fought the battle of faith with the world's weapons. Yet despite their failings, each man will always be remembered as a founding father to the Christian faith because of the messages they declared. And even with their deaths hundreds of years ago, their messages still speak today. John Piper explores each man's life, integrating Augustine's delight in God with Luther's emphasis on the Word and Calvin's exposition of Scriptures. Through their strengths and struggles, he teaches us how to better live today, for when we consider their lives, we behold the glory and majesty of God - and in that, find the power to overcome our weaknesses.
