If you love to escape into the struggles and triumphs of solidly built characters in a post climate-change world where tech reigns and magic is forgotten but not gone, this is the the book for you.Twelve thousand years ago, on the banks of a yellow river in the place that would come to be called China, magic all but left the world when a reckless murder was committed by an angst-ridden teenage girl. An angry ghost was trapped in a crystal prison and an unlucky few souls were fused to its improbable existence forever, doomed to an eternal torment of maddening shared memories.Now in 2096, the story's present and our future, magic is the stuff of ancient myth and science and technology rule the world. Far from its ancient origins on a rain-soaked island in the Aotearoa archipelago (formerly New Zealand), the legacy of the ghost in the stone begins to stir again. Unsuspecting of the catastrophe about to unfold, Nate, Chen and Tina, three young people struggle with their different pasts and present hardships, from day to day and pay to pay. But the ancient ghost rages louder in its torment and strains with ever increasing urgency at the weakening chains of power that bind it. Strange earthquakes gather force off the coast of Akarana Island and when an old house is demolished, something unbreakable is broken and Nate, Chen, Tina and everyone in the world will be drawn into the legacy of the curse of the ghost in the Stone whether they believe in such things or not.

Life among Christians can be great. But let's face it - it can also be exasperating! The joys of fellowship too often give way to division and debate - arguments over such things as the correct form of worship and the place of the charismatic gifts. In 1 Corinthians we see Christianity not as it was meant to be but as it often is. Yet we also find practical advice for overcoming the challenges of life together. This revised Lifebuilder Bible Study features additional questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, together with expanded leader's notes and an extra "Now or Later" section in each study.

Cancer and chronic disease are a rapidly increasing global health burden: according to the Milken Institute, the annual cost to the national US economy of the seven most common chronic conditions will rise to $4.2 trillion by 2023. The data are just as dramatic in Canada, Europe, Australia, and increasingly, in countries in the developing world. As communities, governments, and health organizations worldwide struggle to avoid being swamped by health care costs – not to mention the impact of suffering and poor quality of life – the only long-term, sustainable hope must be based on prevention efforts. This book presents a promising new approach to educating, engaging, empowering, and generating action within communities as part of that broader prevention agenda. The authors review representative global experiences with community based prevention educators, focusing on the prevention coordination work that can be accomplished within geographical areas ranging from local communities to broader regions. Among the findings they reveal in this book are the fundamental elements of successful Community Based Prevention programs – skilled staff, high-quality evaluation, and sustained investment in prevention efforts.
