In the second entry in Alafair Burke's "sharp, new crime series," the search for a missing judge leads Samantha Kincaid into Portland politics and a labyrinth of crime, corruption, and cover-ups -(Publishers Weekly) Deputy District Attorney Samantha Kincaid is back at work after an attempt on her life and a promotion into the Major Crimes Unit. When the husband of Portland, Oregon, city judge Clarissa Easterbrook reports her missing and Samantha is called out on the case, she assumes her only job is to make the district attorney look good until the judge turns up. When the police discover evidence of foul play, however, Samantha finds herself unearthing secrets that Clarissa had wanted to stay hidden, the lingering personal tolls of a crime that occurred decades ago. And when those secrets lead to the discovery of corruption at the highest levels of the city's power structure, Samantha realizes that her quest for justice could cost her not only her job but her life. In the skillfully plotted, highly suspenseful follow-up to her acclaimed debut, Judgment Calls, Alafair Burke once again demonstrates that "she's got what it takes" (Michael Connelly). With its irreverent heroine and seamless blend of squad rooms, street scenes, and courtroom drama, Missing Justice confirms Burke's place among the genre's most talented and exciting newcomers.

FOMO Sapiens: From Fear Of Missing Out to Full Of Ministry Opportunities
"FOMO Sapiens" explores the 66 books of the Bible and their fear-of-missing-out moments, inviting readers to think deeply and differently about divine appointments, intimacy with God, and the adventure of walking by faith. With sharp wit and a touch of humor, this book uncovers how God’s kingdom-building plans often include playful twists, unexpected roles, and the humbling realization that His timing and methods are always perfect—even if we don’t see it at first. From Genesis to Revelation, these stories reveal humanity’s struggles with doubt, distraction, and hesitation, as well as God’s unwavering commitment to lead His people into something far greater. Whether it’s Moses hesitating at the burning bush, Jonah’s reluctant mission to Nineveh, or the disciples’ scramble to understand Jesus’ parables, each chapter invites you to find yourself in the story and consider how God might be inviting you to step into His plans with boldness and trust. This isn’t just a retelling of biblical narratives; it’s a call to embrace the wonder of divine appointments in your everyday life. It’s about swapping the shallow FOMO of worldly distractions for the deep joy of living fully in Christ, knowing that each step of faith plays a part in His eternal masterpiece. "FOMO Sapiens" will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even rethink the way you see your role in God’s kingdom. Because in the end, God’s best for us isn’t about what we’re missing—it’s about stepping into the adventure He’s already prepared.
