Much of the contemporary discussion of the Jesus tradition has focused on aspects of oral performance, storytelling, and social memory, on the premise that the practice of communal reading of written texts was a phenomenon documented no earlier than the second century CE. Brian J. Wright overturns that premise by examining evidence that demonstrates communal reading events in the first century. Wright disproves the simplistic notion that only a small segment of society in certain urban areas could have been involved in such communal reading events during the first century; rather, communal reading permeated a complex, multifaceted cultural field in which early Christians, Philo, and many others participated. His study thus pushes the academic conversation back by at least a century and raises important new questions regarding the formation of the Jesus tradition, the contours of book culture in early Christianity, and factors shaping the transmission of the text of the New Testament. These fresh insights have the potential to inform historical reconstructions of the nature of the earliest churches as well as the story of canon formation and textual transmission.

Emmeline Clark has never had much luck or control when it comes to her powers. Her approach- ignore them and maybe they'll take the hint and go away, hasn't proven very effective. With her anxiety and witchcraft lurking in the shadows, threatening to ruin her life at any given moment, she expects high school to be...complicated. Add loads of best friend drama and intense academics to her already full plate, and this could shape up to be a disaster. What Emmie didn't anticipate was the mysterious blue-eyed hunk she bumps into on the first day. The boy she knows she should keep at arm’s length, but can’t seem to stay away from. Leo Anderson plays by the rules, most of the time, and he's expecting this mission to be like the hundreds that came before it. But when a seemingly ordinary girl crosses his path he can’t shake the feeling that something is off, and he begins to wonder if maybe there is more to Emmeline Clark than meets the eye.Revelations is the first installment in the Blood Bound saga. A coming of age YA paranormal romance series filled with angels, demons, and enough twists to keep you guessing until the last page.The perfect next read for fans of The Mortal Instruments and Fallen Series.

Children's illustrated story in rhyming verse. Cyril is a forgetful squirrel who keeps on forgetting where he's put his acorns, even when he buries them under something he thinks he can't miss! A funny tale which teaches children about trees growing and the cycle of the seasons, with bold, vibrant illustrations. Young children can also click on the acorns for interactive counting up to five.Cyril the Squirrel is the first title in the series, Cyril the Squirrel and Friends. Other books available include Brian the Lion, Myrtle the Turtle and Lola Clare the Polar Bear. The books are set in varied contexts around the world. Suitable to be read aloud to toddlers and preschool children, but also for older children (up to age 8) as they are learning to read, this series of books deliberately includes a few longer or slightly less common words (like "plucky" and "glisten") in order to encourage early absorption of a wider English vocabulary, as this has been proved to benefit literacy and development later on. The rhyming character names also teach children about the idiosyncrasies of English pronunciation. Besides this, the books remain funny, happy animal stories for all children to enjoy.

When my old friend Jim Walker asks me to fly up to Canada and take a look at a strange murder case, it sounds like a good excuse for barbecue and brewskis.

Time to sharpen the stakes and start slaying the undead. Because if you gaze long into a vampire’s eyes, the vampire gazes also into you. Then it glamors you. And kills you.
