Revival
A spectacularly dark and electrifying novel about addiction, religion, music and what might exist on the other side of life. In a small New England town, in the early 60s, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister, Charles Jacobs. Soon they forge a deep bond, based on their fascination with simple experiments in electricity. Decades later, Jamie is living a nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll. Now an addict, he sees Jacobs again - a showman on stage, creating dazzling 'portraits in lightning' - and their meeting has profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings. This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It's a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe.

Conversations With God Book 3
The Conversations With God series came to be written as a result of the author’s experiences in trying to communicate with God during a low point in his life. When Neale Donald Walsch decided to write an angry letter to God about why his life wasn’t working out, he did not expect God to give him a response. After he wrote down the questions, he heard a voice coming from over his right shoulder that asked him if he really wanted the answer to all these questions or if he was just venting. Walsch turned around but he could not find anyone. He then began writing down the answers to his questions, which had by then started filling his mind. These writings formed the basis of the Conversations With God books that contain life changing answers that are sure to change the readers as well as the way they view other beings. As with the other books in the series, Conversations With God Book Three is written in the form of a dialogue between Walsch and God, in which he questions God about various things related to life and God answers him. The third serving of this series takes readers deeper in the powerful and inspirational dialogue as they enter into an adventurous exploration of life, gain a better understanding of the universe, and also develop a fuller personal relationship with God. Conversations With God Book Three moves from personal issues to universal truths which are applicable to all levels of existence, from the microscopic perspective of life to the macrocosmic vision. Some of the questions that this book explores include the profound questions of our time such as what happens when we die, what is time, and whether we are alone in the universe.

XO: The Kiss of Death...
Kayleigh Towne is a beautiful and successful singer-songwriter, and Edwin Sharp is her biggest fan. When she replies to one of his fan letters with 'XO', Edwin is convinced she loves him, and that her latest hit song 'Your Shadow' was written for him.

Soon after, one of the crew is horribly murdered. Kayleigh's friend Kathryn Dance, a special agent with the California Bureau of Investigation, knows that stalking crimes are not one-off occurrences, and, sure enough, more verses of the song are played as warnings of death to follow. With a little help from forensic criminalist Lincolyn Rhyme, Dance must use her kinesic and investigative skills in an attempt to find the killer before more people die. Deaver has written the actual song, 'Your Shadow'.
