Science has helped her fit the puzzle pieces into an understandable whole, and she&’s sure there&’s nothing it can&’t explain. Love, for example, is just chemistry. Her best friend Seth, however, believes love is one of life&’s beautiful and chaotic mysteries, without need for explanation. Iris isn&’t one to back down from a challenge; she&’s determined to prove love is really nothing more than hormones and external stimuli. After all, science has allowed humanity to understand more complex mysteries than that, and Iris excels at science. The perfect way to test her theory? Get the popular and newly-single Theo Grant, who doesn&’t even know Iris exists, to ask her to prom. With prom just two weeks away, Iris doesn&’t have any time to waste, so she turns her keen empirical talents and laser-focus attention to testing her theory.

Prophet
by Frank E. PerettiBack Cover: "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (JOHN 8:32) JOHN BARRETT, anchorman for "news-Six at Five," the city's most watched newscast, has a problem. His comfortable, successful world is being jarred to the breaking point. He's caught his producer skewing a story to fit her own prejudices, then lying to cover her tracks - and she appears to be hiding something much bigger. His father's "accidental" death suddenly isn't looking so accidental. Carl, his estranged son, has returned to challenge his integrity and probe to find the man behind the TV image. The supposedly professional and objective newsroom is now divided and fighting over Truth. And what are these mysterious "voices" Barrett is hearing ...? Once again, master storyteller Frank Peretti has woven a prophetic tale for our times. Prophet carries all the hallmarks of Frank's blockbusting fiction -plenty of edge-of-the-seat action, nail-biting suspense, breakneck pacing, and blow-you- out-of-the-water spiritual impact. But more than this, it penetrates to the very heart of a vast struggle that threatens to tear our society to pieces, the struggle over which vision of moral authority will define our nation.

Laws like the Sherman Antitrust Act sought to redress the problems of big business, but it was through the efforts of President Theodore Roosevelt that the federal government went after these trusts; those actions earned Roosevelt the reputation as a trust buster.
