He is humble, loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated from birth to one day confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way: privileged, cunning and flawlessly trained in the martial arts.Guided by his faithful shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China - to the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing - to fulfil his destiny. But in a divided land riven by war and betrayal, his courage and his loyalties will be tested at every turn.Translated from the Chinese by Anna Holmwood'I absolutely loved it - what a wise, brilliant book - so well observed on families and love and the…

TRANSITIONShe made one mistake. Leaving him under the cover of darkness to escape the consequences of her actions would spiral…
into something so horrific that it cost the innocent lives of many. What she had done was enough to put her in an early grave, but what her husband did was downright diabolical. Time after time, the women and children paid the price, when men made decisions without consulting God first. TRANSFORMATIONTamar and Amnon. He saw. He came. He conquered. And he didn’t care that she would bear the brunt of his bad choices. As a King’s son, nothing would be denied him, even though this particular experience should. Passion for him, became pain for an innocent woman. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the worst of sins in this scandal. The man who was supposed to love and protect her did nothing, forcing her brother to take deadly action that plunged the kingdom into chaos. MY TIME IN THE SUNKari Baltimore’s perfect life comes to a screeching halt when her husband's enemy stands and tells the entire congregation, "Our first lady was a fourteen-year-old prostitute …" All the sordid secrets that she’s managed to keep hidden, even from her husband, resurfaces with a vengeance when Terrence Henderson, a man who is hellbent on destroying everything they’ve built, shares her past with everyone and causes a rift that is not easily mended. Tony Baltimore makes strategic moves to protect his wife from everyone who’s coming against her—including members who are so “heavenly” minded that they’re no earthy good. When the betrayal has done too much damage to repair, and the smoke clears, no one will ever be the sameTHE CHINESE "LORD OF THE RINGS" - NOW IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME.THE SERIES EVERY CHINESE READER HAS BEEN…
