The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens, jarring in both their strangeness and their propensity for violence--especially on God's behalf. Traditional interpretations of the creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light--or chubby, happy cherubs. Those cherubs? They're actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God's vengeance. Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents--they're God's entourage. Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)--these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God's own monstrosity. Confronting God's monsters--and the God-monster--may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. It's not only richer; the stories of the monsters of the Bible can be as fun, surprising, and interesting as any mythology. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God's Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.

The definitive history of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth saga, Anything You Can Imagine takes us on a cinematic journey across all six films, featuring brand-new interviews with Peter, his cast & crew. From the early days of daring to dream it could be done, through the highs and lows of making the films, to fan adoration and, finally, Oscar glory. Lights A nine-year-old boy in New Zealand's Pukerua Bay stays up late and is spellbound by a sixty-year-old vision of a giant ape on an island full of dinosaurs. This is true magic. And the boy knows that he wants to be a magician. Camera Fast-forward twenty years and the boy has begun to cast a spell over the film-going audience, conjuring gore-splattered romps with bravura skill that will lead to Academy recognition with an Oscar nomination for Heavenly Creatures. The boy from Pukerua Bay with monsters reflected in his eyes has arrived, and Hollywood comes calling. What would he like to do next? 'How about a fantasy film, something like The Lord of the Rings...?' Action The greatest work of fantasy in modern literature, and the biggest, with rights ownership so complex it will baffle a wizard. Vast. Complex. Unfilmable. One does not simply walk into Mordor - unless you are Peter Jackson. Anything You Can Imagine tells the full, dramatic story of how Jackson and his trusty fellowship of Kiwi filmmakers dared take on a quest every bit as daunting as Frodo's, and transformed JRR Tolkien's epic tale of adventure into cinematic magic, and then did it again with The Hobbit. Enriched with brand-new interviews with Jackson, his fellow filmmakers and many of the films' stars, Ian Nathan's mesmerising narrative whisks us to Middle-earth, to gaze over the shoulder of the director as he creates the impossible, the unforgettable, and proves that film-making really is 'anything you can imagine'.

THE FIRST TRILOGY IN THE EPIC SAGA OF FUTURE WAR... Thirty meters tall, seventy tons of quick-striding death and destruction, the armored war machines called BattleMechs are the front-line forces of the crumbling star empire locked in the horror of the endless Succession Wars. Their pilots are MechWarriors, 31st-century knights riding armored machines powerful enough to destroy an entire city. AND THE BEGINNING OF A LEGEND… The Gray Death Legion Trilogy brings together three complete Battletech novels featuring one of the most popular mercenary units ever created-the Gray Death Legion. DECISION AT THUNDER RIFT Grayson Death Carlyle had been training to be a MechWarrior since he was 10 years old, but his graduation came sooner than expected. With his friends and family dead and his father's regiment destroyed, young Grayson finds himself stranded on a world turned hostile. Now he must learn the hardest lesson of all: it takes more than a BattleMech to make a MechWarrior... But to claim that title, all Grayson has to do is go out and capture one of those giant killing machines...if it doesn't kill him first. MERCENARY'S STAR Galatea. The Mercenary's Star. Even the most down on their luck units can find work here. Leading the new Gray Death Legion has been challenging for Grayson Death Carlyle, so when a job comes their way, he's only too happy to take it. The mission: train the local resistance on the planet Verthandi to resist their Draconis Combine masters. But things do not go well from the moment the Legion arrives. Trapped on Verthandi and facing a superior force and a fractured populace, the men and women of the Legion find themselves in a situation that makes the campaign on Trellwan look like a walk in the park. And Grayson quickly learns that repeating his past successes may not be so easy this time… THE PRICE OF GLORY The Gray Death Legion is in the employ of the Free Worlds League, and has even been given a landhold on the planet Helm. But dark forces conspire against them, and the Legion soon finds themselves declared renegade war criminals, fair game for anyone to attack. Now they are on the run on their home planet, trying desperately to reach safety before the might of House Marik falls upon them. They are about to discover the true motives of those who engineered their downfall. And what they discover will change the Inner Sphere forever…

With beautiful artwork by Freya Betts, this paperback edition features gorgeous sprayed edges with stencilled artwork. This is a breathtaking collectible perfect for the long-time fan or new Hunger Games reader. Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Everything you would expect from Collins is here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill" The Guardian "It works beautifully... please don't make us wait another decade" The Times Ambition will fuel him. Competition will drive him. But power has its price. It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute… and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes. Three books, four films and one WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON, The Hunger Games changed the face of global YA. All four Hunger Games books have been made into feature films, the first three starring Jennifer Lawence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks and Donald Sutherland. The fourth movie of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, released November 2023 and has an all-star cast including Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Viola Davis and Peter Dinklage.

In a world obsessed with strength, success, and self-promotion, Dr. Emmanuel Mitchell presents a revolutionary paradigm that challenges everything we think we know about true leadership and lasting influence. "Thrones of Clay" unveils the profound biblical truth that authentic authority emerges not from human strength, but from embracing our fundamental weakness and dependence on God. Drawing from decades of pastoral ministry, theological scholarship, and real-world leadership experience, Dr. Mitchell masterfully weaves together scriptural insights with compelling contemporary examples to demonstrate how God consistently chooses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and the weak things to shame the strong. This isn't merely theological theory-it's a practical blueprint for transformational leadership that transcends earthly kingdoms and builds eternal legacies. The book's central metaphor of "thrones of clay" captures the beautiful paradox at the heart of Christian leadership: we are earthen vessels, fragile and flawed, yet chosen by the Almighty to carry His glory and exercise His authority in the world. Mitchell argues that our greatest weakness becomes our greatest strength when we stop trying to hide our humanity and instead allow God's power to be perfected in our frailty. Through engaging narratives and biblical case studies, readers will discover how figures like Moses, David, Paul, and ultimately Jesus himself demonstrated this counterintuitive principle. The stuttering shepherd became the voice of God to Pharaoh. The shepherd boy conquered giants not through military prowess but through unwavering faith. The persecutor of Christians became the greatest missionary through acknowledging his complete dependence on grace. Dr. Mitchell doesn't shy away from the practical implications of this theology. He addresses the modern leadership crisis plaguing churches, businesses, and institutions, showing how pride, self-reliance, and the pursuit of human acclaim have led to spectacular moral failures and organizational collapses. Instead, he presents a sustainable model of leadership rooted in humility, transparency, and recognition of our need for divine strength. The book is structured around seven key principles that form the foundation of clay-throne leadership: acknowledging weakness, embracing vulnerability, cultivating dependence on God, leading through service, building others up rather than self-promotion, maintaining accountability, and focusing on eternal rather than temporal rewards. Each principle is explored through biblical exposition, historical examples, and practical application guidelines. "Thrones of Clay" is particularly relevant for pastors, ministry leaders, business executives, and anyone in positions of influence who have grown weary of trying to maintain facades of perfection. Mitchell's approach offers liberation from the exhausting burden of pretending to have all the answers while providing a sustainable framework for wielding genuine, God- honoring authority. This book serves as both a theological treatise and a practical handbook, combining deep spiritual insights with actionable leadership principles. Dr. Mitchell's accessible writing style makes complex theological concepts understandable to readers at any level of spiritual maturity, while his extensive research and pastoral wisdom provide depth that will challenge even seasoned leaders. For anyone seeking to understand what it truly means to lead with divine authority in an age of human ambition, "Thrones of Clay" offers a transformative vision of leadership that honors God, serves others, and builds lasting kingdom impact.
