There has always been a special weight to ministry. As pastors come to lead their churches, they recognize very quickly the task they have been called to comes with very special expectations. And with each passing year, it feels like we now live in a time when pastors and ministry leaders can no longer live up to those expectations. Burnout is rampant. Pastors are stepping down in order to protect the well-being of themselves and their families. Moral failings seem to bring down leaders we once viewed as giants.

Of all the groups to emerge during the folk era of the 1960's, The Chad Mitchell Trio was unequivocally the best. Their complex harmonies, sense of comedic timing and stage presence were unique to the folk movement. They didn't enjoy the commercial success of some other groups because their material made political and social statements that radio and television refused to air.

They send him to Paris as a contract crew member on a Dassault Falcon 7X, and Pearce comes face to face with the deadly assassin in a guise he never sees coming.

The ancient Fael entombed the Anaxagorum in a sarcophagus deep underground 10,000 years ago. The "living book" of magic had no place in a world of reason, and if those hiding it did their job well, no human eye would ever see it again. John the Booker, Librast of Northem, writes his eyewitness account of how the execrated thing re-emerged and spilled eldritch magic over a civilization with only swords and muscle to fight it.

Written by Zacharius Ursinus and published in 1563, the Heidelberg Catechism quickly became a manual for Christian living and religious instruction during the Reformation.
