For some, their death is far in the future--age 103!--and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all...

Willing to believe : understanding the role of the human will in salvation / by Sproul, R. C.(Robert Charles),1939-2017.(CARDINAL)511213;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-218) and indexes.Introduction : Evangelicalism and an ancient heresy -- We are capable of obedience : Pelagius -- We are incapable of obedience : Augustine -- We are capable of cooperating : Semi-Pelagians -- We are in bondage to sin : Martin Luther -- We are voluntary slaves : John Calvin -- We are free to believe : James Arminius -- We are inclined to sin : Jonathan Edwards -- We are not depraved by nature : Charles Grandison Finney -- We are able to believe : Lewis Sperry Chafer.Can a person choose to have faith? What does an individual contribute to his or her own salvation? Does God wait on the doorsteps of our hearts, quietly hoping to be let in when we decide to open the door? Or does he call us and pursue us in a way we can't resist? The debate between the irresistible call of God and a human being's free will has raged for centuries. So what is the answer? And why does it matter? In Willing to Believe, R. C. Sproul uncovers issues that provoked the Reformation and revived the controversy between Pelagius and Augustine. He carefully explores the relationship between original sin and human free will, clarifies misconceptions about the work of God in a believer's liberation from sin, illuminates the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation, and offers compelling reasons to believe the work of salvation is in God's hands. - Back cover.

Free to fall / by Miller, Lauren(Entertainment lawyer)(CARDINAL)429577;
Fast-forward to a time when Apple and Google have been replaced by Gnosis, a monolith corporation that has developed the most life-changing technology to ever hit the market: Lux, an app that flawlessly optimizes decision-making for the best personal results. Just like everyone else, sixteen-year-old Rory Vaughn knows the key to a happy, healthy life is following what Lux recommends. When she's accepted to the elite boarding school Theden Academy, her future happiness seems all the more assured. But once on campus, something feels wrong beneath the polished surface of her prestigious dream school. Then she meets North, a handsome townie who doesn't use Lux, and begins to fall for him and his outsider way of life. Soon, Rory is going against Lux's recommendations, listening instead to the inner voice that everyone has been taught to ignore -- a choice that leads her to uncover a truth neither she nor the world ever saw coming.HL730LAccelerated Reader AR

Quarantine zone / by Wilson, Daniel H.(Daniel Howard),1978-author.(CARDINAL)347294; Mounts, Paul,illustrator.(CARDINAL)352549; Pasarin, Fernando,illustrator.(CARDINAL)343418; Ryan, Matt,illustrator.(CARDINAL)343408;
In the future, humanity has discovered the root of all evil: a virus that modifies the neural pathways for empathy. Those infected with the Malnoro virus have been forcibly imprisoned in the Quarantine Zone (whether they choose to do good or evil). Meanwhile, the rest of the cured world is sterile and crime-free, but permeated by an oppressive, paranoid fear of new outbreaks of the Malnoro virus. Quarantine Zone is an action/sci-fi original graphic novel that raises hard questions about free will and the nature of good and evil. If we could "cure" ourselves of the capability to do evil--should we? And could a person truly be good without the choice to do evil?
