On the 40th anniversary of Neil Postman's prophetic book Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985), Scrolling Ourselves to Death gathers today's most incisive writers to think critically about the shaping power of contemporary technology. This book explores Postman's insights, connects them to the challenges facing Christians today, and turns difficult challenges into life-giving opportunities for the church. Stepping back from their screens, listeners will be equipped to live faithfully, and grow spiritually, in a "scrolling ourselves to death" world.

In a mythic world where breath becomes syntax and silence is never empty, the Loom has fallen quiet. But when grief braids into resonance, a forgotten glyph awakens, and Elias returns not as a child but as a convergence of wolf, dragon, and phoenix. Born of memory and myth, Elias’s rebirth stirs the Loomwake Children—Kaia, Riven, and Solin—triplets whose forms are chosen not by prophecy but by pulse. As Phoenix-Wolf, Dragon-Wolf, and Shadow-Wolf, they become the first of a new mythic category: Loomwake Shifters. But the Loom is not at peace.

In a world etched with spirals and bound by trials, four companions stand at the edge of eternity. Beast Drakwyn, the flame scarred protector, carries the burden of prophecy and the fear of becoming a weapon. Brinrose, the emberborn guardian, steadies the group with warmth and remembrance. Gravemurk, the fissure scarred keeper of oaths, holds the Codex that binds legacy. Velmira, the grief blooming healer, weaves sorrow into renewal. Together, they face the Archives final demand: not eternity, but infinity.

Beast Drakwyn carries the fire of prophecy, a flame that remembers. Beside him walks Brinrose, the Hearthward Flame, whose emberlight steadies grief and anchors memory. Together they step into Spiralwood, where every breath awakens symbols older than time and every choice reshapes the Codex itself. But the spiral does not burn — it waits. Gravemurk, the Silent Shield, must bear the weight of grief alone. Veilra, the Mistguard, shields sorrow with silence. Solaira and Solenfyr, bound by flame and rebirth, struggle to hold back collapse.

Deep in the heart of the Silverwood, the forest has fallen quiet. The Spark glows softer than ever, and the creatures who once sang together now struggle to find their voices. Beast, Lirien, Brinrose, and their friends must journey into the stillness to discover what has dimmed the forest’s song. But not every silence is empty. Some silences are waiting.

In the aftermath of shattered threads and rising shadows, Elias and his flamebound allies face a world that no longer trusts myth. The Binder has failed, but mimicry lingers. Vampires hunt legacy. The Iron Pact demands restraint. And deep beneath the valley, something older begins to stir. As Rosalie’s wings flare and Lukas howls against the silence, Elias must forge a new glyph—one not of power, but of choice. With phoenix flame, werewolf rhythm, and shadow braided into memory, the group stands at the edge of a new age. But the myth isn’t done testing them.

In Echoborne Ascension, the myth deepens. Kaia, Riven, and Solin step into the shimmer, not as children of prophecy but as threads of becoming. Their glyphs twist, split, and braid under the Loom’s gaze, each echoing a truth the myth tried to forget. Elias holds the sixth thread, unbraided and waiting. Rosalie carries Spiral breath across Circlebound flame. Lucious, Luke, and Makena stand at the edge of memory, guarding glyphs that no longer obey. And beyond them, the Threadless stir—Ashen burns, Thorne feeds, Velra dreams—and Elrose begins to return.

In the fourth installment of The Moon-Iron Series, scientist Rose and the legendary Anchored Wolf, Lukas, face their most treacherous political and military battle yet: the ancient, unforgiving judgment of the Werewolf Pack Elders.

Mira never expected a single fragment—the scent of pine after rain—to change everything. But when she uncovers this outlawed memory, she’s thrust into a hidden world of rebels, dreamers, and exiled scientists. Together with Critical the daring pilot, Dr. Raven the fierce archivist, and Dr. Dove the gentle healer, Mira must decide how much she’s willing to risk to feel alive.

The sanctuary is compromised. The alliance has been poisoned. Now, the birth of their child triggers a war. Rose and Lukas fought for a fragile peace on the North Ridge, building a technological fortress to protect their future. But their greatest triumph—the birth of their son, Elias—is about to become the catalyst for their ultimate defeat. The Price of Betrayal: A trusted member of the Pack—the Lore Keeper, Corvus—has infiltrated their cabin, systematically turning Rose’s high-tech Wall of Silence into a lethal beacon.

Rose saved her werewolf lover with a chain of Moon-Iron. But the anchor that caged the beast also froze the man, and now they must risk everything to bring his heart back from the cold. Rose (Elara) finally has the life she fought for: a quiet sanctuary and a partner, Lukas (Cain), anchored by a revolutionary Moon-Iron Talisman. The Beast within is controlled, but the cost is devastating—Lukas is emotionally numb, a perfect machine without the fire that Rose loves. She won the war for his control, but she’s losing the man.

A strange shimmer spreads through Emberwood… and Beast Drakwyn feels it in his Little Flame. When silverwhite leaves begin falling from the sky — leaves that don’t belong to any tree in Emberwood — Beast and his friends follow the trail into a quiet, glowing part of the forest no one has ever seen before. There, they discover the Silver Grove, a hidden woodland filled with soft light, whispering branches, and a guardian who has suddenly gone missing. Without its guardian, the grove’s magic is fading — and the silver leaves are falling faster every hour.

A strange silence settles over Emberwood… and Beast Drakwyn feels it in his Little Flame. When the forest suddenly loses all sound — no birdsong, no rustling leaves, not even an echo — Beast and his friends discover a tiny Echo Sprite whose voice has mysteriously vanished. Its shimmer flickers weakly, pointing them toward the Echoing Hollow, a quiet valley where sound itself has gone missing.

A gentle tremble shakes Emberwood… and Beast Drakwyn feels it in his paws. When a glowing crack opens beneath an old oak tree, Beast and his friends discover a secret tunnel leading deep under the forest floor. There, they meet Mossling — a tiny, shy creature made of soft moss and glowing dew, who has been guarding the ancient roots all alone. But something dark is creeping through the Hidden Hollow. A Shadowvine is spreading quietly underground, draining the forest’s magic and dimming the roots that keep Emberwood alive.

In a world where ancient fantasy meets cutting edge science, Rose is a strategist who risks everything for a man who is both her greatest love and her deadliest liability.

In the heart of Emberwood lives Beast Drakwyn — a gentle, fluffy creature with a warm, glowing flame in his chest. Every morning, the forest wakes to the light of the Spark… until the day it suddenly disappears. With the forest growing dim and worried, Beast and his friends — Brinrose the emberwinged fairy, Lirien the playful leaftrickster, Thalwyn the wise Spiral Guardian, and Gravemurk the gentle stone giant — set out on their very first adventure.

Join Lily and Tom on a magical adventure! When the Whispering Woods needs saving, these brave friends set off on a quest to find the Glimmering Berry. With courage and friendship, can they overcome grumpy gnomes and bring the light back to the woods? A heartwarming tale for early listeners!

In the twilight between Spiral and Circle, a new myth begins. Rose stands at the Hollowfire Gate, her glyph braided with flame, silence, memory, echo, and a thread yet unnamed. The ley lines pulse with contradiction, rewriting not history but possibility. As the Spiral unbraids and the Circle rewrites itself, the flame wrought children awaken, carrying a legacy no guardian can hold alone. Elias, the threadkeeper, must guide the Circle through trials of convergence, surrender, and remembrance. Rosalie walks the Echo Gate. Lucious and Luke face the Anchor Trial.
