NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFOREWORD BY CHARLIE KIRK“A fearless warrior for Christ. Lucas is a man built to stand for the truth in a time of great apostasy. Don’t just read PAGAN THREAT—internalize what it has to say. Then, share its message with your Christian friends, before they are seduced by Paganism themselves. We have a faith and a country to save.”—CHARLIE KIRK, FOUNDER TURNING POINT USA“If ever there was a prophetic book for this hour. 'Godless uprising.' 'Pagan threat.' The young man...who murdered Charlie is right at the center of the kind of thing [Lucas Miles is] talking about here.”—ERIC METAXASTHERE IS A RISING PAGAN THREAT TO THE CHURCH AND AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE."The world does not need a Christianity of convenience or cultural compliance; it needs a Christianity that is fervent, passionate, and unapologetically true. For only when we believe, with all our hearts, that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life—only when we are convinced that the Gospel is not just a set of doctrines but the living, breathing power of God—will we have the courage to stand against the forces of Paganism.”—PASTOR LUCAS MILES, SENIOR DIRECTOR TURNING POINT USA FAITHPastor Lucas Miles, bestselling author of Woke Jesus: The False Messiah Destroying Christianity, delves into the alarming resurgence of pagan ideologies within the United States, posing significant threats to the church, the nation, and the world.Unveiling the complex interplay between ancient beliefs and modern society, PAGAN THREAT: CONFRONTING AMERICA'S GODLESS UPRISING meticulously exposes the inherent dangers that challenge the core fabric of our faith and civic unity. From exposing an evolving techno paganism to blatant idol worship, Pastor Miles navigates the intricate terrain of safeguarding the nation and the pulpit against the rising tide of paganism.PAGAN THREAT serves as an insightful guide, a warning and a call-to-action, urging readers to understand, confront, and ultimately fortify the foundations of their faith and the principles that define our great nation, and is a necessary work to prepare God’s people for what comes next in a society experiencing moral and spiritual decline.PAGAN THREAT aims to shed light on how the ancient and the modern have converged in ways that threaten both the church and the broader fabric of our society. The connection between Woke ideology and Paganism is not merely a coincidence but a natural progression. Behind the emphasis on identity politics, intersectionality, and radical inclusivity within Wokeism lies centuries-old ancient Pagan ideologies. Pastor Lucas Miles does more than diagnose the threats we face; he aims to equip and inspire us to rise to the challenge and invites readers to embark on an adventure of spiritual awakening; To seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, embrace the transformative power of revival, and stand resolute against the encroaching darkness. The future of the church and our great nation depends on our collective faithfulness to the truth and our unwavering commitment to the Kingdom of God.THE FINAL BATTLE PLAN TO RESIST PAGANISMDeepen Discipleship Rooted in Primary Christian Doctrine.Develop a Roadmap for Christian Engagement in Politics and the Public Square.Leverage Technology for the Advancement of the Gospel.Redouble Efforts to Reach Today’s Youth.Implement a Practical Strategy for Evangelism.Directly Combat False Doctrines and Pagan Ideologies.Renew Interest in Spiritual Gifts.PAGAN THREAT shows we must focus on these essential steps needed to combat the rise of Paganism so we can fortify believers’ faith, strategically spread the Gospel, and reclaim the public square for God’s glory.“To win the battle against Paganism, we must do more than merely resist the rise of its idols; we must believe in Christianity in a way that shapes our lives, our actions, and our very hearts. It is not enough to claim the name of Christ or to oppose the darkness with moral outrage; we embrace the light, letting it pierce the deepest corners of our souls.”—Pastor Lucas Miles

Sandy Denny- A People’s History tells the story of the woman heralded by her peers as Britain’s greatest ever female singer. Sandy Denny is the only vocalist apart from Robert Plant to appear on a Led Zeppelin album. But her duet on ‘The Battle Of Evermore’ is just one of many achievements by the woman who was twice voted ‘Best British Female Singer’ (in 1970 & 1971) by readers of Melody Maker magazine. Sandy brought an air of magic to the stage every time she sang, whether as a member of Fairport Convention, with her band Fotheringay or as a solo singer. This book captures memories of those performances and pays tribute to her beautiful voice, to her endearing personality and to her exceptional songwriting talent. Sandy’s song ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes?’ has been covered by more than 100 artists, and her music is still being discovered and interpreted by artists in the almost half a century since her untimely death in 1978 at a tragically young age. Compiled by Sandy’s daughter, Georgia Rose Lucas, and fully approved by the estate of Sandy Denny, this book contains a wealth of memories and memorabilia. Contributors include: Richard Thompson, Rufus Wainwright, Mary Black, Barbara Dickson, Joe Boyd, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Linda Thompson, Joan as Policewoman, Richard Digance, Iain Matthews, Christine Collister, Gordon Giltrap, Aine Furey, Chris Blackwell & Julianne Regan.

Leeds United's biggest crowd of the 2004-05 season was for a testimonial match. But this was no ordinary testimonial. The 37,889 who packed into Elland Road were paying tribute to Lucas Radebe one of the few players whose name is mentioned in the same breath as the club legends like Don Revie, Billy Bremner, John Charles, Eddie Gray, Peter Lorimer, Jack Charlton and Norman Hunter. The South African international so captured the hearts of Leeds fans that they still chant his name years after he retired and the Kaiser Chiefs band took their name from his first club. In his native land he is an iconic figure, who led his country to two World Cups as they emerged from the sporting wilderness and whose reputation as a player and a man helped convince the rest of the world that the World Cup finals should go to South Africa. The kid who was rescued from the violence of the anti-apartheid struggle in Soweto when his parents sent him away from home for fear he would end up in gaol or even dead, received the ultimate accolade when Nelson Mandela declared: 'He is my hero.'This is the story of how Lucas overcame a tough childhood, survived a shooting, and refused to be diverted from his destiny by injury, homesickness, freezing English winters and terrible English food to become not only a football superstar but acknowledged as one of the nicest people in the game. He was awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award as much for his unstinting work for charities and anti-racism organisations as his immaculate defending. Lucas Radebe's story is much more than just another biography of a footballer. It is inspiring and heart-warming, tinged with tragedy yet marked throughout by his trademark smile that has lit up two continents and touched thousands of lives.

In a tale befitting the saga he created, Lucas Wars follows George Lucas’s journey from aimless dreamer to filmmaking trailblazer and prodigy of the New Hollywood movement. While his fellow rising stars—directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese—craft The Godfather, Jaws, and Taxi Driver, Lucas follows his childhood dreams and begins work on an epic fantasy . . . which, he soon discovers, is not without its epic challenges.Writer Laurent Hopman and artist Renaud Roche dive deep into the creative process behind Star Wars: A New Hope, from the hell of casting to the nightmare of filming. Lucas is forced to juggle actor quarrels, a secret love affair, costume and set mishaps, and constant pushback from film execs. But despite it all, a landmark movie emerges—one that changes the medium of film forever.Lucas Wars is an exhilarating underdog story and a unique glimpse into the world of cinema. But most of all, it’s an ode to the magic of childhood and the value of perseverance.
