From the author of Elena Knows , finalist for the 2022 International Booker Prize20 years after a shocking accident, Mary Lohan returns to the Buenos Aires suburb she escaped in a fugue of guilt and isolation. She is not the same—not her name or voice, not even the color of her eyes. The neighborhood looks different too, but she’s still the same woman and it’s still the same place, and as the past erupts into view, they slowly collide. A Little Luck is the story about the debilitating weight of lies, the messy line between bravery and cowardice, and the tragedies, big and small, that can ripple out from a single decisive event. In a place she had determined to forget forever, both anticipated encounters and unanticipated revelations show her, and us, that sometimes life is neither fate nor chance: perhaps it’s nothing more than a little luck.

Then, one stormy night, a brooding stranger appears in her remote island home, ready to take Rosamond to her word. Spellbound by the mysterious Philip Tempest, Rosamond is seduced with promises of love and freedom, then spirited away on Tempest's sumptuous yacht.

Desperate to escape, she flees to Italy, France, and Germany, from Parisian garret to mental asylum, from convent to chateau, as Tempest stalks every step of the fiery beauty who has become his obsession.

Over 300,000 Copies Sold Pursue Deeper Faithfulness with Eugene Peterson's Classic Work on Discipleship Since Eugene Peterson first wrote this spiritual formation classic more than forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by its call to deeper discipleship. As a society, we are still obsessed with the immediate, but Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same-a long obedience in the same direction. Long obedience requires a deepening life of prayer. Peterson finds encouragement for today's pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), sung by travelers on their way to worship in Jerusalem. With prophetic and pastoral wisdom, Peterson shows how the psalms teach us to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community, blessing, and more. This commemorative edition features: a preface from Leif Peterson's eulogy at his father's memorial service, a bibliography of Eugene Peterson's works, and the option to pair with the companion Bible study guide, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction Bible Study, for a deeper experience. "Eugene Peterson's special gift is to stand beside us and keep our feet on the ground as he lifts our hearts to God and our minds to godliness. A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, which does this stunningly well, is also the best pathway into the Psalter you are likely to find. If, like me for twenty years, you find it hard to get into the Psalms, that is another reason to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest this brilliant book." - J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God

A Companion Bible Study to A Long Obedience in the Same DirectionThis six-session Bible study guide is based on Eugene Peterson's bestselling book A Long Obedience in the Same Direction. To use this resource, read and study alongside the book, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, sold separately. We are surrounded by a society that idealizes quick results and stimulating experiences. The Christian life, however, calls us to be not tourists but pilgrims-disciples committed to a long journey of faith. Through this accessible guide for growing in perseverance, you'll find encouragement in the Psalms to press on with qualities such as hope, repentance, patience, and joy. This Bible study is designed to help individuals and groups explore and apply biblical truths found in the separate book A Long Obedience in the Same Direction. Each session features quotations from the book matched with Scripture passages, reflection questions, and application ideas that will equip readers to connect the text to their own lives. A leader's guide and list of suggested resources are also included.

This moving biography of Pier Georgio Frassati, who turned from a life of privilege to one devoted to working with the poor, and who died at the age of 24 from the polio virus, presents a portrait of a man whose love of God transformed his life and the lives of those around him. Inspired as a young man by Pier Georgio, Pope John Paul II recently approved beatification for Pier Georgio.

In the shadow of Vagel, the dark Arch-Imager, and his merciless armies, Terisa and Geraden discover undreamed-of talents within themselves. Unfortunately, those talents also mark them for death. Branded as traitors, they must put aside past failures and find the courage to embrace their powers--and their love--before Vagel can spring his final trap.
