    Glittering Promises by Lisa T. Bergren

    Glittering PromisesGlittering Promises by Lisa T. Bergren

    Wealth cannot buy peace… or direction.

    For Cora Kensington, the Grand Tour was to be the trip of a lifetime. She discovered the family she never knew she had, and may have even found the love she longs for in Will. And yet her life has just become infinitely more challenging…

    Hounded by journalists chasing the beguiling story of the newest American heiress, Cora fights to remain true to her past, reconcile her present, and still embrace her future. But as Will struggles with her newfound wealth, she begins to wonder if their love is strong enough to withstand all that threatens to pull them apart.

    Complicating matters is the stubborn pursuit of Pierre de Richelieu and the increased demands on her time and attention. Cora must stand up for what she believes – regardless of how that might challenge current family and cultural norms – in order to remain true to who she really is.

    And as she glimpses the end of the tour, Cora knows it’s time to decide Who and what defines her… and who and what does not.

    Hailed as “the world’s preacher,” Billy Graham has enjoyed a career that has spanned six decades and his ministry of faith has touched the hearts and souls of millions.

    In Just As I Am Graham reveals his life story in what the Chicago Tribune calls “a disarmingly honest autobiography.” Now, in this revised and updated edition, we hear from this “lion in winter” (Time) on his role over the past ten years as America’s pastor during our national crisis of the Oklahoma bombing and 9/11; his knighthood; his passing of the torch to his son, Franklin, to head the organization that bears his name; and his commitment to do the Lord’s work in the years of his and his wife Ruth’s physical decline.

    The Case for the Psalms: Why They Are Essential

    The Case for the Psalms: Why They Are EssentialThe Case for the Psalms: Why They Are Essential by N. T. Wright

    Widely regarded as the modern C. S. Lewis, N. T. Wright, one of the world’s most trusted and popular Bible scholars and the bestselling author of Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope, presents a manifesto urging Christians to live and pray the Bible’s Psalms in The Case for the Psalms.

    Wright seeks to reclaim the power of the Psalms, which were once at the core of prayer life. He argues that, by praying and living the Psalms, we enter into a worldview, a way of communing with God and knowing him more intimately, and receive a map by which we understand the contours and direction of our lives. For this reason, all Christians need to read, pray, sing, and live the Psalms. By providing the historical, literary, and spiritual contexts for reading these hymns from ancient Israel’s songbook, The Case for the Psalms provides the tools for incorporating these divine poems into our sacred practices and into our spirituality itself.

An escape back to land is her only goal… until she meets a kindred spirit in rugged Irishman Patrick Brenneman, and then the game is on!

Meeting Damian’s family for the first time on idyllic Sugarloaf Mountain is about as far from that Bah! Humbug cruise as she can get, and Reese can hardly wait to get there.

    DaybreakDaybreak by Shelley Shepard Gray

    In this close-knit Amish family, nothing is as perfect as it seems…

    When Viola Keim starts working at a nearby Mennonite retirement home, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with resident Atle, whose only living relative, son Edward, is living as a missionary in Nicaragua. Viola understands the importance of mission work, but she can’t imagine leaving her father in the hands of strangers. Even though her family is New Order Amish, it’s not the Amish way, and though she doesn’t know Ed, she judges him for abandoning his father.

    But when Ed surprises his father with a visit, Viola and Ed both discover an attraction they never expected. Despite her feelings, choosing Ed would mean moving to a far-off country and leaving her family behind. She can’t do that. Her twin sister, Elsie, is going blind and will need someone to care for her all her life. Her family is reeling with the recent discovery that her grandmother hid her past as an Englischer. Her father seems forgetful and distracted – and to be harboring some secrets of his own.

    Does Viola dare leave them all behind and forge her own life? Or will family ties mean her one chance at love slips away?
