In Ghost College, the Drews are summoned to a Southern California bible college after workers report hearing mysterious voices at night.

When they encounter the unhappy ghost of a young girl, Monty’s skepticism is shaken, but he resolves to help his wife free the trapped spirit.

Their search uncovers the Latin phrase non omnis moriar—not all of me shall die—and they learn more about the site’s history as a Catholic school destroyed by an earthquake.

But a mysterious presence has plans of its own for the young ghost, and Monty and Ellen must go head-to-head with a dark entity that’s had more than a century of practice in demonic deeds.

To do so, Monty must leave his body to do battle with the demon, and he’s not sure Ellen will be able to bring him back in one piece. Heck, he’s not even sure what’s happening is real.

One thing sis certain: All hell is breaking loose and the Drews are taking a crash course in the supernatural where an “F” means eternal damnation.

It feels great to sink into the sofa after a long day—but spending too much time sitting down can have serious health consequences. Some studies show it can be more dangerous than smoking. But how can you combat the threat in an era of desk jobs, spread-out suburbs, and digital everything?

In Get Up!, James A. Levine’s original scientific research shows how today’s chair-based world, in which we no longer use our bodies as they evolved to be used, is having negative consequences on our health, and is a leading cause of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. In the course of recent history, humans have moved from a primarily active lifestyle to one that is largely sedentary, and this change has reshaped every facet of our lives, from social interaction to classroom design. The good news is that fixing the problem doesn’t require mountain climbing or marathon running. Levine shows how to throw off the shackles of inertia—and reverse these negative trends through simple changes in our daily lives.
