    Roses for Mama by Janette Oke

    Roses for MamaRoses for Mama
    by Janette Oke

    She’s cared for her siblings as best she could… but is it enough?

    Instead of the new life she and her family expected to forge out west, seventeen-year-old Angela is thrust into the role of caring for her three younger siblings after the death of their parents. With the help of her older brother, and trust in God, Angela is determined to raise the children as her mother would have wanted.

    As the youngsters grow, the questions and challenges intensify. Angela feels trapped and overwhelmed. Surely no man will ever want a woman who comes with three children in tow.

    Pieces of the Heart by Bonnie S. Calhoun

    Pieces of the HeartPieces of the Heart
    by Bonnie S. Calhoun

    Cordelia Grace watched Bernard Howard, the love of her young life, go off to fight for our country in WWII. And she has spent the last three years creating the Pine Cone quilt that will grace their marriage bed when he comes home. Each row of triangles signifies a layer in her life, sets of memories, hopes, dreams, and prayers for her future, enough spoken words to cover them forever. Her image of their “happy-ever-after” grows proportionally as the quilt expands. But is the man that returns from the war, the same man that she remembered? Are the dark shades of color that she had to use for the outside edges of the beloved quilt prophetic of her life to come? Can love and faith overcome all?

    Glimpses of Grace by Gloria Furman

    Glimpses of GraceGlimpses of Grace
    by Gloria Furman

    Sometimes life feels a lot like a burden – day-in and day-out its the same chores and tasks, challenges and discouragements, anxieties and responsibilities. Dust bunnies show up on the stairwell, social commitments clutter the calendar, and our families demand daily attention and care. At times, just catching our breath seems like an impossible feat.

    So where is God in all of this? Does he care about the way we unload the dishwasher or balance the budget? Do the little things like changing diapers or cooking meals make a difference? And how can we use our spheres of influence for God’s glory and our joy?

    Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a working woman splitting time between the office and home, Gloria Furman – writer, pastor’s wife, cross-cultural worker, and mom – encourages us to see the reality of God’s grace in all of life, especially those areas that often appear to be boring and unimportant. Using personal examples and insightful stories, her richly theological reflections help us experience the gospel’s extraordinary power to transform our ordinary lives.

    A Perfect Square (A Shipshewana Amish Mystery)A Perfect Square (A Shipshewana Amish Mystery)
    by Vannetta Chapman

    There’s more to the quaint northern Indiana town of Shipshewana than handcrafted quilts, Amish-made furniture, immaculate farms and close-knit families. When a dead girl is found floating in a local pond, murder is also afoot. And Reuben Fisher is in jail as the suspect! Reuben refuses to divulge any information, even to clear himself of a crime Deborah is certain he didn’t commit. So, with her English friend, Callie – fellow sleuth and owner of Daisy’s Quilt Shop – Deborah sets out to uncover the truth. But the mystery deepens when an elderly man seeks Callie’s help in finding his long-lost daughter, missing since the days of the 1965 Palm Sunday Tornadoes. An old man who has lost his past. A young man who may lose his future.

    Once again Deborah and Callie find themselves trying to piece together a crazy quilt of lives and events – one that can bring unexpected touches of God’s grace and resolve the tragedy that has shaken this quiet Amish community.

    My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife

    My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 WifeMy So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife
    by Sara Horn

    Author Sara Horn always admired the Proverbs 31 wife, but when she became a busy writer and mother, she deemed this model to be dated and impossible. Or is it? Join Sara as she heads into a one-year domestic experiment and offers full access to see if this biblical model can be embraced by a modern woman – even one who can’t sew.

    With humility and humor, Sara sets out to pursue the Proverbs 31 characteristics through immersing herself in all things domestic, but when her family’s situation changes and she must return to a full-time job, she’s forced to look at the Proverbs 31 woman with a whole new viewpoint. Through it all, she and readers discover:

    • what it means to be a godly woman and a wife
    • how investing in family and faith refines priorities as a spouse and a parent
    • how mistakes are opportunities for growth

    This thought-provoking, surprising, and entertaining personal account will inspire women to try their own experiments in living out God’s purpose for their lives.

    At thirty-one, Ellen Barrett has already won a Pulitzer prize. Sadly, though, her skill as a journalist far surpasses her ability to sort out her troubled past, so she’s less than eager to return to picturesque Petoskey, Michigan, for her beloved father’s funeral. When she most needs comfort, her husband is distant and her siblings antagonistic – and the solace an old sweetheart offers is almost too much to resist. In the end, going home to the shores of Little Traverse Bay is an emotional and spiritual journey for Ellen – a rediscovery of what is truly important and eternal in her life.

    Kaye Redmond stages houses for resale, so masking trouble spots with strategic décor comes naturally. She does it in her personal life as well – her can-do attitude and ready smile disguising the emotional wear-and-tear of a failed marriage and raising a teenage daughter alone. But when her former mother-in-law comes back around, desperate for a place to stay while recovering from a botched facelift, Kaye begins to realize there’s a much more authentic way to brighten one’s countenance: look to God and His plan for her life.
