A cop on a mission. A woman running from her fate. Both on a collision course with evil. In the pulse-pounding sequel to BAD WOLF, the nightmare that ripped open two lives slips from the darkness to once again stalk the streets of Portland. Three months after his partner mysteriously vanished, detective John Gallagher remains haunted by his encounter with something that should not exist. With no clues as to his partner's disappearance, detective Lara Mendes is presumed dead but Gallagher refuses to give up the search. Like a man possessed, he pushes himself to the brink to find her. At a downtown firing range, 17-year old Amy Gallagher is taught how to fire a gun by her father. She goes along for his sake but Amy is increasingly troubled by her father's instability. His nightmares, paranoia and obsession with finding his missing partner are clear signs of post traumatic stress but her pleas for him to seek help fall on deaf ears. Chafing under his strict rules, Amy struggles to save her dad before he pushes himself over the edge. Two hundred miles away, a woman with a terrible secret hides in the vastness of the Oregon wilderness, desperate to outrun her fate. Banished into self-imposed exile with a worsening condition, ex-detective Lara Mendes has exhausted any hope for a cure to her cursed existence. With no options left, her last chance at peace may be to take her own life. Stalking her through the pines is a primordial nightmare plucked straight from a Grimm's fairytale. It wants Lara Mendes and will stop at nothing to get her. The only question that remains is who will get to her first, and what will Lara do when they come?

* What is The Way of the Child? * What is spiritual formation? * What happens during the sessions? * What can I do to support the study? * How can our family - together - share our faith in practical ways? Church provides important training, but within everyday family life is where we really learn about trust, acceptance, respect and forgiveness. Incorporate the practical ideas from The Way of the Child Family Booklet to support and cultivate your child's spirituality - yes, even amidst the most busy family life. ""Children are spiritual beings who come to us as gifts from God,"" writes McGregor. ""The child's natural way of life and the way most of us live seem to be two different orders of reality. Yet the way of the child represents much of what we consider central to authentic Christian spirituality."" Reclaim the ""way of the child"" while nurturing and deepening your family's relationship with God. Every family with a child in The Way of the Child program needs a copy of The Family Booklet. The Way of the Child can be used as an extended Sunday school, in small play/pray groups, by individuals who ""home school"" their kids, by grandparents who care about their grandkids, or as part of a Vacation Bible School experience
