Unlike Jesus in volume 1, Insa is strict, unyielding and goal-orientated. She wants to earn her father's approval and complete her task in a four-year plan. At first, she pursues her goals almost ruthlessly, regardless of the people around her. The daughter of God hungers for the pleasures of human senses. She enjoys being able to smell, taste and feel, and spends her first night of love with Yves, a waiter who later turns out to be an angel. With Yves and Peter, the already well-known crusader, and with the help of the British royal family, Insa founds the ANTENNA DEI broadcasting platform. Here she wants to inform people about Jesus' work and miracles. She is helped in her endeavours by media designer Luzia, with whom she begins an affair after her visit to the Pope. God's daughter survives two attempts on her life by the Pope unscathed and surprisingly calm. And then things really get going...

Imagine if Jesus had escaped death on the cross and had been with us for over 2000 years. What would he think of our modern world? Would we even believe him to be the Son of God? Blessed with immortality but suffering from dementia, Jesus struggles with his life and the task of bringing the word of God to the people after such a long time. Nevertheless, together with the endearing priest Jacob, he occasionally delights people with small miracles and tells them episodes from his life. Get ready to meet the Rider of Peace from Münster. Immerse yourself in this extraordinary story full of small and some larger miracles and let Jesus take you on a special journey through time.

They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves. What Locke cons, wheedles and tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards. Together their domain is the city of Camorr. Built of Elderglass by a race no-one remembers, it's a city of shifting revels, filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries. Home to Dons, merchants, soldiers, beggars, cripples, and feral children. And to Capa Barsavi, the criminal mastermind who runs the city. But there are whispers of a challenge to the Capa's power. A challenge from a man no one has ever seen, a man no blade can touch. The Grey King is coming. A man would be well advised not to be caught between Capa Barsavi and The Grey King. Even such a master of the sword as the Thorn of Camorr. As for Locke Lamora ...

I'm not cerebrally gifted nor a Mensa member, but I think creatively, reach for my dreams, help people feel valued, and enjoy laughing. I know what makes me laugh or say WTF! This book is one of my methods of reaching out to others with a niche form of humor (others just call it weird) to create a smile or to help others let go of their current stresses, even if for a moment. Rereading the book reduces my stress!This collection of posters represents about a year of searching for visual irony that others found worthy of posting on social media. They are the ones that made me chuckle or belly-laugh. You may find some posters dull and others over the edge, yet you are sure to find several posters that make you laugh. And, that's the point of this book.If you enjoy the content, you may be like me: Wish I was a genius so I could say it, and want to feel like I have above-average intelligence. But, alas, my Mensa friends know I'm not gifted and they think the whole book is stupid. However, other friends think I'm sharp because I find irony in things that they don't see. They think I'm either a genius or over the edge. But, either way, they are impressed - the reaction I was looking for!200+ posters are presented for your contemplation. Some items will make you think. Some will make you laugh. Others will give you ideas about how to mess with your friends' minds. Or, the book will convince you that I am really odd!

"I would go to Hades and back for you." An easy thing to say. A much harder thing to really mean. In an ancient Greek world of monsters and legends and gods, Doug wants to make it on his own without the influence of his father's reputation. In the kingdom of Larissa, far from the home of his birth, Doug is making a pretty good start. He has a steady job selling dairy treats at a franchise location and Doug's outlook is bright. And then Doug meets Princess Larisa, and the two fall madly for each other. But her father, the king, will have none of it. After all, Doug appears as nothing more than a yogurt slinger-not nearly good enough for the princess. Doug must prove his worth. Under the orders of a dark influence, the king challenges Doug to complete twelve tasks. Doug makes the only decision a hormonal, confident young man can. He accepts. While Larisa stays in Larissa to search out the source of the king's odd behavior, Doug takes his nerdy brother Modifixeus on a trip of a lifetime. Along with a gaggle of automatons and the blessing of Zeus, Doug finds himself over his head almost immediately. If he doesn't find a way to complete the tasks, Larissa and all of Greece will fall to the dark influence. Even worse, Doug and Larisa won't get that magical kiss they just know is in their future-if they survive long enough to experience it. Going to Hades was a given. It was the "and back" part that looked iffy.

Sometimes it takes working with the dead to start living. Kathy Valence is forty-two, mid-divorce, and pregnant with her ex's baby. She's also a modern-day grim reaper employed by S.C.Y.T.H.E. (Secure Collection, Yielding, and Transportation of Human Essences), but frankly that's the easiest part of her life right now. Or at least it was, until her latest client's soul goes missing. When she finally tracks down seventeen-year-old Conner Ortiz, he angrily denies he died of natural causes, despite what his file says. He insists that someone at S.C.Y.T.H.E. murdered him, and he demands Kathy find out who and why.  Kathy has only forty-five days to figure out what happened to Conner and help him move on before the boy's soul is doomed to roam the Earth as a ghost forever. She’s forced to rely on the help of her retired mentor, her almost ex-husband—and some sneaky moves by Conner himself. This is the wildest case of her career. . .and one wrong move could cost Kathy her job, not to mention her life.

"These rediscovered tales were written by Terry Pratchett under a pseudonym for British newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. The stories have never been attributed to him until now, and might never have been found, were it not for the efforts of a few dedicated fans. As Neil Gaiman writes in his introduction, 'through all of these stories we watch Terry Pratchett becoming Terry Pratchett.' Though none of the short works are set in the Discworld, all are infused with Pratchett's trademark wit, satirical wisdom, and brilliant imagination, hinting at the magical universe he would go on to create"--
