Brett Buckley was a normal family man once. When he unexpectedly turned undead, he struggled to regain the love and respect of his wife and kids... a struggle he ultimately lost in a single moment of weakness that cost him everything.Now, after months of estrangement, and still trapped in the limbo between life and death, Brett is propelled suddenly back into family life to face his greatest challenge yet: becoming the primary carer for his children. More than just another zombie story, Undad Volume Three is about the challenges of facing down what really scares you, while being (literally) dead inside.

After ministering to Christians of all ages for over twenty-five years, Shane W. Houle, DMin, recognizes that the most meaningful messages are often delivered in a simple sentence. In his debut book, Uncommon Wisdom, he's compiled these little nuggets of advice for living a godly life into an easy-to-read volume.While today's young people, with their short attention spans and addiction to secular technology, can be difficult to reach, Dr. Houle has learned that he often gets through to his young congregants with the simplest messages. Biblically based wisdom isn't lost on youth, but the messages are most impactful when effectively targeted.Uncommon Wisdom is the perfect gift for the young person who is seeking answers to life's great questions, guidance for living a Christian lifestyle, and an understanding of God's great love for humankind. A valuable read for both youth and adults, this collection of Christian aphorisms will be something you will return to again and again, whether you need to be reminded to "learn to see everything through the lens of eternity," or simply to be told that "you can't hold on to your life so you may as well spend it on something worthwhile."

On August 28, 1963, a remarkable event took place--more than 250,000 people gathered in our nation's capital to participate in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The march began at the Washington Monument and ended with a rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech, advocating racial harmony. Many words have been written about that day, but few so delicate and powerful as those presented here by award-winning author and illustrator Shane W. Evans. When combined with his simple yet compelling illustrations, the thrill of the day is brought to life for even the youngest reader to experience. We March is one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Children's Books of 2012

This monograph explains what economic analysis is, why it is important, and forms it can take in policing and criminal justice.
