    The Vicar’s Wife by Katharine Swartz

    The Vicar's WifeThe Vicar’s Wife
    by Katharine Swartz

    Jane Hatton and her British husband Andrew relocate from New York City to a small village on the Cumbrian coast. Jane has been city-based and career-driven but when her fourteen year old daughter Natalie falls in with the wrong crowd at school in Manhattan, she and Andrew decide to try country living. However Jane has trouble getting used to the silence and solitude of a remote village. Natalie hates her new school, and eleven-year-old Ben struggles academically. Only eight-year-old Merrie enjoys country life. Has Jane made a horrible mistake?

    The Hattons have bought the old vicarage in the village. When Jane finds a scrap of shopping list, she grows curious about Alice, the vicar’s wife who lived there years before. As we follow the twin narratives of Jane, in the present, and Alice in the 1930s we discover that both are on a journey to discover their true selves, and to address their deepest fears.

    A Reluctant Courtship by Laurie Alice Eakes

    A Reluctant CourtshipA Reluctant Courtship
    by Laurie Alice Eakes

    Honore Bainbridge has been courted by two men, one of whom turned out to be a traitor, the other a murderer. Banished to her family’s country estate, where she will hopefully stay out of trouble, she finally meets the man she is sure is exactly right for her: Lord Ashmoor. Tall, dark, and handsome – what more could a girl ask for? But he too is under suspicion because of his American upbringing and accusations that he has helped French and American prisoners escape from Dartmoor Prison. For his part, Lord Ashmoor needs a wife beyond reproach, which Honore certainly is not. Amid a political climate that is far from friendly, Honore determines to help Ashmoor prove his innocence – if she can do so and stay alive.

    From the rocky cliffs of Devonshire, England, comes the exciting conclusion to the lush Daughters of Bainbridge House series. Award-winning author Laurie Alice Eakes thrusts her readers into high drama from the very first sentence and keeps them on their toes until the final page.

    Fisher of Men by Pam Rhodes

    Fisher of MenFisher of Men
    by Pam Rhodes

    Neil Fisher’s first trip to Dunbridge was not a success. Having inadvertently locked himself in St Stephen’s Church for hours (and succumbing to the communion wine and wafers for dinner) it seemed miraculous they gave him the curate’s job!

    On arrival in the small town of Dunbridge it quickly becomes clear that life is not going to be tranquil for the eligible new bachelor, as four formidable women are determined to make their presence felt. There is his mother, Iris, still questioning his choice of career; his rector, the no-nonsense Margaret, who is not one for taking prisoners; Claire, his new neighbor, whom he’s already managed to offend. And then there is Wendy, the beautiful leading light of the church music group, who has her own plans for Neil… It can only end in trouble.

    by Cathy Marie Hake

    After arriving in Reliable, California, Dr. Eric Walcott is stunned by the primitive conditions of the medical practices. Luckily for all of them, he’s here to help… if he can just get that Chance woman to put away her plants and blossoms long enough to practice some real medicine. Polly Chance knows all her land has to offer. She’s learned to be a healer at her mama’s side, and together, they’ve been tending to their own for many years. But when Dr. Walcott shows up, he denounces their traditional methods… and captures Polly’s heart. Can the Lord unite two like-minded caretakers? Or will a handful of flowers forever come between them and a future together?

    Touches the Sky by James Calvin Schaap

    Touches the SkyTouches the Sky
    by James Calvin Schaap

    Touches the Sky delves into the timeless theme of clashing cultures that alternately alienate and intrigue. Jan Ellerbroek, an 1890s Dutch settler, is both mesmerized and disturbed by the “ghost dances” of the Lakota Indians he and his wife live among. The Sioux insist they dance for the Messiah who will save them from those who would steal their land, culture, and hearts. But can the same God of Jan’s pious people be found in such mystery and frenzy?

    Already tense, the atmosphere crackles when a Dutch hired hand is found shot to death. The settlers accuse the Sioux, and fear escalates. But the Sioux insist on their innocence, knowing their honor-and much more-is at stake.

    Absorbing as well as profound, this sensitive story probes the making of the West, the depths of humanity, and a God whom the main character admits “can seem as vast and unknown as the prairie.”

    52 Things Daughters Need from Their Dads52 Things Daughters Need from Their Dads
    by Jay Payleitner

    Most dads love their daughters, but they’re uncertain how they can show that love in a way their daughters understand… or figure out what their girls really need from them. Jay Payleitner has given thousands of dads great, man-friendly advice in his bestselling 52 Things Kids Need from a Dad. Now Jay guides his readers into what is unexplored territory for many of them – girl land – giving them ways to… do things with their daughters, not just for them; lecture less and listen more; be on the lookout for “hero moments” and take advantage of them; realize that their daughters are females…and tailor their actions and responses accordingly; and give their daughters a positive view of the male sex. Dads will feel respected and encouraged – not made to feel guilty – and they’ll gain confidence to initiate activities that build lifelong positives into their girls. Great gift or men’s group resource.

    The QuiltThe Quilt
    by T. Davis Bunn

    The Quilt is the story of Mary, an elderly grandmother whose gnarled, arthritic hands have a beauty all their own. They represent so many skills, so many memories, so many stories to be told. Anyone who had met Mary described her as beautiful – she had always been there to listen and comfort and encourage those who were in pain, those who had lost their way. And yet in the twilight of her days, Mary felt a gentle yearning in her heart, the whisper of a melody she strained to hear… There was something left undone.

    When Mary becomes convinced that the task still unfinished is to make one more very special quilt, with every stitch sewn in prayer and thankfulness, the impact on her family and the surrounding community cannot be contained. No one who gets involved with this quilting project will ever be quite the same again!

    Luckily, there’s a new deputy in town, Connor Fields.

    He takes a real liking to Miss Donovan… and he promises to find the missing nativity pieces for Katie.

    A remnant of Jews living in a heathen country…

    A young orphan being raised by her God-fearing cousin…

    A self absorbed king in search of a new queen…

    A Jewish woman rising to the throne of Persia…

From humble beginnings in a city where she seemingly did not belong, God raised Esther to the highest position imaginable for a woman in her era: Esther became queen of Persia.

There is nothing chance or random to be found here: Esther’s life was entirely a matter of trust in the providential power of God.

    Through easily applicable Biblical truths, interwoven with personal and heartfelt stories, Jennifer brings a contemporary relevance to Esther’s extraordinary story. Join Esther on her journey to the throne of Persia and beyond. You’ll not only discover what powerful deeds God was able to accomplish through the unexpected turns that her life took – you’ll discover what He desires to do in the unexpected turns in your life today!
