You can find the deep peace you ve been longing for--and that God has promised.Because of spiritual brokenness, we humans run. We seek to escape fear, disappointment, unresolved trauma, and unhealed wounds of the past, but no matter how hard we try, we can t seem to run far enough or fast enough to finally be free . . . yet we keep running anyway. But God wants so much more for us.Pastor, speaker, and author Terry Crist has spent much of his life running from the pain of past trauma and toward the empty promises of what he thought would satisfy his soul. In Now You Can Stop Running, he leads you on a journey toward sanctuary--where you will find not just respite but transformation, not just shelter but home--as you learn how to find authentic rest and spiritual wholeness in the boundless love of God.With rich wisdom and profound pastoral insights, Crist helps us:Understand our own stories--why we run, what we re running from, and who or what we re running towardDiscern between the false promises of the world that create chaos and true refuge in the God who offers peaceEncounter God through freshly told stories of faithful believers in the Bible who also ran for their lives Engage spiritual practices that will guide us through our past pain, give meaning to our present struggles, and illuminate our path forward with hope The same God who loved and guided Jacob, Moses, Hagar, and David walks alongside us today. His rest is genuine, and the refuge he promises is safe and secure.

New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks makes his triumphant return to the world of Shannara, delving deep into the origin story of the druid order and its enigmatic creator that will change the face of the Four Lands forever. One of the most iconic structures in the Four Lands is Paranor, the fortress home of the Druid Order. Legend holds that it was erected by an Elven leader known as Galaphile Joss. But who was this Galaphile, and how and why did he choose to establish this center of magic and learning?Within these pages we meet the real Galaphile, following him from a friendless teenage orphan stranded in the Human world to a powerful adult and master mage, studying under the infamous recluse, Cogline. We learn of the forces that shaped him—those he loved, and those he lost; those who aided him, and those who stood against him.Throughout it all, Galaphile’s goal is a noble one: to bring order to a chaotic world, and to make life better for those trying to survive it. To this end, he commences building the citadel which will one day be known as Paranor with the aid of the King of the Silver River. But there is one other who seeks dominion over the Four Lands—and for far less virtuous ends.For this foe has been corrupted by an ancient evil—one that will not only reach out and touch Galaphile’s nearest and dearest, but also echo down through the centuries, sowing the seeds for some of the darkest times the Four Lands will ever face.
