New Releases by Michael Todd

A festival. A legend. A viral video that changes everything. The videos started as a curiosity--red eyes beneath West Virginia's iconic bridge. Now they're a viral sensation drawing crowds to Bridge Day festival. Special Response Division agent Mara Bishop recognizes the signs: someone is manufacturing monsters from collective belief. Haunted by memories of another viral tragedy, Mara arrives to find a community intoxicated by its own legend. Festival-goers chase sightings. Influencers livestream their terror. Beneath the carnival atmosphere, something ancient stirs, feeding on every post, every hashtag, every trembling witness. As digital hysteria reaches critical mass, Mara uncovers a chilling pattern. This isn't random. Someone has turned social media into a summoning circle, and the festival is ground zero. The countdown has begun. Each notification brings the nightmare closer to taking flight. Can Mara break the viral spell before a town's excitement becomes its epitaph? Or will she learn that in the age of instant sharing, nightmares spread faster than truth?

Five thousand gold. Thirty days. And a seven-foot woman who kills Anchors by breakfast. Nick Vance is Rust Tier. Bottom of the barrel. The Guild took one look at his mana capacity and laughed him off the testing stage. Now his father's dead, the Guild's debt collectors are circling, and he's got thirty days before they start auctioning his kidneys. Then he cracks open a Spirit Ball that should have stayed closed. Kaela is seven feet of curves, scars, and barely contained fury. A Vargr berserker who's been trapped in darkness for fifty years. She needs mana to survive. Lots of it. The kind of mana that burns through Anchors like tissue paper. Nick should be a dried-out husk when he resurrects her. Instead, he's already refilling. And she's looking at him like he's the most interesting thing she's seen in a very long time. The Guild measures capacity. They never thought to measure flow. Now Nick has a seven-foot warrior woman bonded to him, enemies crawling out of the shadows, and a family secret others are willing to kill for. The debt is impossible. The deadline is closing. And Kaela isn't the only powerful Spirit Nick can help. Can a young man everyone dismissed and the dangerous women drawn to his power survive long enough to flip the table on the bastards who set him up? Or will the secrets buried in the Old Places consume them both?

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A candid, inspiring guide to finding lasting love and sustaining a healthy relationship by getting real about your goals—based on the viral, multi-million-view sermon series about dating, marriage, and sex **The inspiration for the upcoming romantic comedy Relationship Goals, starring Kelly Rowland and Cliff “Method Man” Smith** “No matter where you are and no matter what stage of life you are in, Relationship Goals will be a game changer.”—Levi Lusko NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY COSMOPOLITAN You scroll through photo after photo of happy couples and think, I want that! But often those intimate relationships are a mirage—the closer you get to them, the more you realize they aren’t real at all. So what does a real relationship look like? And how do you get there? In Relationship Goals, Pastor Michael Todd digs deep to give you good news and real-life ideas for making the most of your most important relationships. Take a look at • how to choose intentional dating over recreational dating • ways to move on from mistakes you’ve made in the past • why love gets stronger after marriage • what the Bible has to say about sex (hot take: it’s more sizzling than you think) • why the best friendships have God at the center Whether you are married, single, or it’s complicated, aiming for the right targets will make all the difference in finding true satisfaction. As it turns out, God’s got the best relationship goals of all for your life. Why settle for less?

Blood calls to blood. Power demands its price. A warlord without an army. A lord without lands. A dragon without wings. Peter Taraskharn is all of these things, leading a ragged convoy of refugees toward the one sanctuary left in a world gone mad: Drakonnen Castle, the cursed fortress of his bloodline. He never asked for this responsibility. He certainly never asked for the ancient power now burning through his veins. The thousand souls following him see a savior. His enemies see a threat that must be eliminated. The warrior women who guard his back see something else entirely, something that both terrifies and compels them. Peter just sees the next sunrise he has to survive. Someone has been hunting them since they began this desperate march. Professional soldiers strike from the shadows. Mysterious forces manipulate events from afar. Every league traveled brings new horrors, new betrayals, new tests of the terrible gift awakening in his blood. The castle calls to him in dreams, promising safety for his people and power beyond imagination. His grandmother's lessons whisper warnings about the fate of every Drakonnen king before him. History says his bloodline is cursed. His enemies say he's already damned. Peter says he'll burn them all before he lets his people fall.

Demon-fire burns, but can it save? Jackson McCade's vow-scars pulse with infernal flame. As King's Eye and Hellspawn Knight, he's mastered his dark power-mostly. When meltdown-laced forging brings deadly illusions to Bashara, Jackson must confront a lost prince's revenge. Seradin plots to destroy the monarchy through runic magic, while the trickster Farn weaves chaos with his cameo. With elven archer Riven and roguish Luke at his side, Jackson descends into labyrinthine catacombs beneath the city. He must harness his demon-fire with perfect control-unleashing too little leaves illusions unchecked, too much could reduce Bashara to ash. The dwarves watch with suspicion. The King lies weakened by phantom chains. Every corridor hides twisted constructs and deadly illusions. Can Jackson master the holy flame within before Seradin's Night Shackle enslaves the royal bloodline forever? Or will his own power consume what he's trying to save? Ignite your imagination with the series finale of the Hellspawned Chronicles.

A bad day in Hell is better than crash-landing in the ZOO... Especially if you wonder whether your helicopter pilot is certifiably insane. Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle... The surge is hitting the world. Focused on containing an outbreak to save humanity, a helicopter goes down without anyone to rescue the survivors. This was a civilian delivery, not a military foray, so the survivors have a snowball's chance in hell of surviving. Ava Martin, medical school dropout and government support staff, has just about the worst group of colleagues with whom to go into a dark alley at noon and make it out the other side. How is she going to deal with being dropped into a place heroes fear to tread? The problem, one among many, is that the person she believes might be able to withstand the ZOO is either crazy like a fox...or bat-shit crazy. The ZOO is making its move. Will those around the ZOO survive to hold it off, or is the world now a few short years of total destruction? ARE YOU READY TO ENTER THE ZOO? ---- Join Ava Martin as she enters the ZOO, learning how to stay alive as she finds out more about the ZOO than the redacted reports explained, or she ever wanted. Go up and click on the Read Now button and enter the ZOO.

Stay far away from normal when it comes to matters of faith. Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to act with crazy faith? In this five-session video Bible study (video streaming included), bestselling author and pastor Michael Todd reveals how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. There are many things that seem normal today that at one point in time seemed crazy. History-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. People who risked everything to stand up for what they believed. But our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines. But it's crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals his promises. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including: An individual access code to stream all five video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!). The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide. Video notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion time. Sessions and run times include: Starting Out (Baby Faith and Maybe Faith) (18:00) Getting Stronger (Waiting Faith and Wavy Faith) (17:30) Obstacles to Avoid (Lazy Faith and Fugazi Faith) (16:00) Moving to the Next Level (Trading Faith and Stating Faith) (18:00) Finishing Strong (Fading Faith and Saving Faith) (18:30) Even if we have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, we can become empowered to let go of our lazy faith, trust God through our hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith.

Code may not be transferred or sold separately from this package. Internet connection required. Void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by law. Additional offer details inside.

Based on Michael Todd's Crazy Faith comes the official workbook to discovering a complete trust in God and stepping out in life-changing faith. Faith is a word that's common in both our culture and the church. It's a word you've probably used many times. But what does it actually mean? How can you know if your life is being guided by faith or by fear? And how can you learn the kind of trust in God that seems...well, crazy? Crazy is a relative term, after all. There are many things that seem normal today that at one point in time sounded crazy. But our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines. But it's crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals his promises. Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. In the Crazy Faith Workbook, bestselling author and pastor Michael Todd takes you deeper into how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Each of the eleven lessons in this workbook unpacks a potential stage in the faith journey—from baby faith to crazy faith—to help you: Identify where you are in your personal faith journey. Learn how to see God's reality and be alert to his voice. Develop a deeper level of trust in God. And inspire crazy faith in others. Packed with Scripture reading, prayers, empowering stories, reflection questions, and plenty of room for you to write your responses—this workbook will help you see the beauty of faith and that it's never too late to build it. Even if we have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, we can become empowered to let go of our lazy faith, trust God through our hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible • choose hope over fear • be alert to the voice of God • cope with loss and doubt • develop a deeper level of trust in God • speak faith-filled declarations • inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

*Warning: Graphic bro-humor, and much stupidity from guys who don't know any better. Two guys find a hot alien chick and save the world, right? No, not so much. John and his friend Gage split up. One raced off into space to save the girl while his friend promised to start a 'Save the Alien' effort. What could possibly go wrong? Well, anal probes for one. Meehix believes she needs the help of an old friend who is one of the best computer hackers in the galaxy. The only problem? He's on ice. For 500 years. In a prison that no one has escaped from. Piece of cake, right?

It's time to bring the pain, and Heavy Metal knows how to make that happen. Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle... What do you do when a mercenary team comes looking for trouble in your base... In your home? There is a problem with Courtney's company and those that wish to have Courtney step down. Amanda and Anja are working on the base and have purchased an AI to help. Unfortunately, the AI had to be purchased after-market and already has a personality. What do you do when a prurient AI is connected to a ton of guns all around your house? Heavy Metal is fighting inside the ZOO and outside the ZOO. Is their ability to hide the bodies outside of the ZOO going to cause problems? There is a billionaire on one side and our team on the other. One side has money and access to guns, the other side has been matured in the ZOO. Does the billionaire even have a chance? In the ZOO, you always expect the unexpected. Can Salinger keep his friendships afloat and stay out of the claws (or mouths) of the denizens of the ZOO AND the law this time? Salinger Jacobs is working to build his company as fast as possible. Will he make a few mistakes he can't think his way out of? Sometimes, you find that your best relationships come back. NOTE: There may or may not be gratuitous sex in this book. Or it might actually play into a later book with funny talk about men's vs. women's abilities and capabilities. There is ABSOLUTELY cursing in this book. LOTS of upset cursing, cursing out of anger, fear, and other emotional issues related to carnivorous alien flora or fauna eating humans who don't say 'darn.' LOTS of gratuitous cursing just because the author finds it funny, too. There is death and sadness...and more death. In fact, it's a blender of blood out in the ZOO. Man vs. Alien nature seems to justify ugly results. Plus, people have emotional hang-ups. Expect to smile, laugh, cry, and perhaps have a spate of jealousy or two. Further, there might be explicit sex, thank you sex, and you're welcome sex. Finally, there is no Coke in the ZOO. That is probably the worst and most offensive trait in these stories. This is Michael Todd, and I approve of the shenanigans pulled within the ZOO stories.

SHE IS HIS WITNESS. Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle Can you get your PhD in the ZOO? Salinger Jacobs treats others as he is treated. Screw him over, and he might hold stuff back. You have his back? He will have yours. When a fellow scientist is screwed over by her company, she seeks out his fledgling Mercenary company to see if they can use another smart mind. Since he obviously didn't want her body. With opportunities coming at him and his partner Madigan faster than they can handle, another mind might be just what Heavy Metal needs. But will it come with too many complications? In the ZOO you always expect the unexpected, will this be true for relationships? Can he trust his partner with his secret? Salinger Jacobs is working to build his company as fast as possible, will he make a few mistakes he can't think his way out of?. Sometimes, it isn't what you know from reading books that helps you succeed. NOTE: There may or may not be gratuitous sex in this book.
