    The 13th Tribe – Save $14

    The 13th TribeThe 13th Tribe by Robert Liparulo

    When a group of immortal vigilantes threatens millions, only one man is brave enough to stand in their way.

    Their story didn’t start this year… or even this millennium.

    It began when Moses was on Mt. Sinai. Tired of waiting on the One True God, the twelve tribes of Israel began worshipping a golden calf through pagan revelry. Many received immediate death for their idolatry, but 40 were handed a far worse punishment – endless life on earth with no chance to see the face of God.

    This group of immortals became the 13th Tribe, and they’ve been trying to earn their way into heaven ever since – by killing sinners. Though their logic is twisted, their brilliance is undeniable. Their wrath is unstoppable. And the technology they possess is beyond anything mere humans have ever seen.

    Jagger Baird knows nothing about the Tribe when he’s hired as head of security for an archaeological dig on Mt. Sinai. The former Army Ranger is still reeling from an accident that claimed the life of his best friend, his arm, and his faith in God.

    The Tribe is poised to execute their most ambitious attack ever and the lives of millions hang in the balance. When Jagger’s wife and son are caught in the crossfire, he’ll stop at nothing to save them. But how can one man stand against an entire tribe of immortals?

    by John C. Maxwell

    The world’s most respected leadership expert gives five principles and five practices to expose and break the invisible barrier to leadership and personal success.

    You have a good idea but can’t convince your peers of its merit. You crafted a groundbreaking strategy, but the team trudges on in the same old way. Certain people seem to moving forward in their career while you seem to be stuck. If this describes you or someone you know, the problem is not the quality of what you have to offer. The problem is how you connect with people to create the results you desire.

    In The Irresistible Power of Connection, John Maxwell takes readers through the Five Connecting Principles and the Five Connecting Practices of top-notch achievers. He believes that a person’s ability create change and results in any organization-be it a company, church, nonprofit, or even a family-are directly tied to their ability to use the teachings of this book.

    Grace for the Good Girl by Emily P. Freeman

    Grace for the Good GirlGrace for the Good Girl by Emily P. Freeman

    Many of us believe that we are saved by grace – but for too many, that’s the last time grace defines our life. Instead of clinging to grace, we strive for good and believe that the Christian life means hard work and a sweet disposition. As good girls, we focus on the things we can handle, our disciplined lives, and our unshakable good moods. When we fail to measure up to our own impossible standards, we hide behind our good girl masks, determined to keep our weakness a secret.

    In Grace for the Good Girl, Emily Freeman invites women to let go of the try-hard life and realize that in Christ we are free to receive from him rather than constantly try to achieve for him. With an open hand and a whimsical style, Emily uncovers the truth about the hiding, encouraging women to move from hiding behind girl-made masks and do-good performances to a life hidden with Christ in God.

    Be Still by Cherie Hill

    Be StillBe Still by Cherie Hill

    When the storms of life threaten to overcome us, we find ourselves crying out to the heavens, “Lord, don’t You care?” As our soul is capsized with heavy silence and we continue to pray for a miracle, God’s answer comes in the form of a question, “Where is your faith?”

    “Be Still” uncovers the profound life-applicable meaning of the miracle, “Jesus Calms the Storm.” Through this powerful message, your spirit will be submerged with hope, peace, and comfort, as you find your way to the back of the boat…resting with Jesus.

    Just like the Disciples, many times you find yourself so overwhelmed by your storm that you look right past the only One who can save you and who is always beside you-Jesus. As you gain a deeper understanding of this great miracle, you will find that when God allows a storm in your life… it comes with great purpose; if you miss the purpose, you may miss God’s will for your life. So, let go of your fear by grabbing hold of your faith…let the storms come, and let the waters rise-God is taking you deeper.

    Every one of us is both a hero and a monster, and the world we inhabit is both beautiful and twisted. We are shaken by changes, losses, gains, insights, desires, mistakes, and transitions. And just when we’ve gotten settled back down, things get shaken up again. This is the life we’ve been given.

    A Change of FortuneA Change of Fortune by Jen Turano

    Lady Eliza Sumner is on a mission. Her fortune was the last thing she had left after losing her father, her fiance, and her faith. Now, masquerading as Miss Eliza Sumner governess-at-large, she’s determined to find the man who ran off with her fortune, reclaim the money, and head straight back to London.

    Mr. Hamilton Beckett, much to his chagrin, is the catch of the season, and all the eyes of New York society – all the female ones, at least – are on him. He has no plans to marry again, especially since his hands are full keeping his business afloat while raising his two children alone.

    Eliza’s hapless attempts to regain her fortune unexpectedly put her right in Hamilton’s path. The discovery of a common nemesis causes them to join forces and, before she knows it, Eliza has a whole retinue of people helping her. Eliza’s determination not to trust anyone weakens when everyone’s antics and bumbling efforts to assist her make her wonder if there might be more important things than her fortune and independence.

    When all of Hamilton’s and Eliza’s best-laid plans fall by the wayside, it will take a riot of complications for them to realize that God just might have had a better plan in mind all along.

    • Miracles violate the laws of nature
    • Aren’t people born gay?
    • Paul Copan has been answering questions like these for many years. In When God Goes to Starbucks, he offers readers solid and caring Christian responses to these and many other concerns that are being discussed in Starbucks, shopping malls, youth groups, and schools. Each chapter provides succinct answers and points for countering the cultural questions believers are faced with today.
