    Dolled Up to DieDolled Up to Die by Lorena McCourtney

    When Cate Kinkaid receives a frantic call about a triple homicide, she drives to the scene against her better judgment – aren’t triple homicides more up the police department’s alley? – only to find that the victims are not quite who she expects. Now she has a new rule to add to those she’s learned in her short stint as an assistant private investigator: always find out if the victims actually have human DNA. Because these three do not.

    But who would shoot this nice lady’s dolls? What possible reason could the shooter have? And then there’s the startling discovery of another victim, who definitely does have human DNA…

    With tension that is matched only by humor, Dolled Up to Die is the exciting second book in Lorena McCourtney’s The Cate Kinkaid Files. Mystery fans won’t find a place to stop and take a breath in this fast-paced and intriguing tale.

    From God To Us: How We Got Our Bible – Save $20

    From God To Us: How We Got Our BibleFrom God To Us: How We Got Our Bible
    by Norman L. Geisler, William E. Nix

    Where did the Bible come from? How do we know the right books are in the Bible? Does the Bible contain errors? What are the oldest copies we have of the Bible? How do we know that the Bible hasn’t been changed over the years? Why are there so many translations of the Bible, and which one should I use?

    These are just some of the important questions about the Bible that are discussed in this book. Understanding basic facts about the origin of the Bible is essential for every Christian, but it can also be confusing and difficult. Here, two well-known scholars, authors of a more technical book, A General Introduction to the Bible, explain simply and clearly these basic facts. Inspiration, the biblical canon, major manuscripts, textual criticism, early translations, and modern versions are some of the major topics discussed. Careful explanations of important points are given throughout, as the entire field of biblical introduction is covered.

    Completely updated and revised edition of the 1974 work. Helpful charts have been added, along with an index of subjects, persons, and Scripture.

    The Role of Women in the Church

    The Role of Women in the ChurchThe Role of Women in the Church
    by Charles Ryrie

    Out of print in recent years, this newly revised edition of Charles Ryrie’s The Role of Women in the Church, featuring a new foreword by Dorothy Kelley Patterson, proves its ongoing relevance in addressing what is still a divisive issue at the forefront of Christendom: What can a woman do in the church of God?

    With clarity and depth, Ryrie recounts the status of women in ancient Greece and Rome. He looks at the significance of Mary as Christ’s mother, the attitude of Jesus toward women, and at women as ministers to Jesus. There are Scripture based chapters on marriage, celibacy, and divorce as well as a woman’s place in church life. The book’s final section examines the status of women in the church during the second and third centuries.

    In sum, Patterson views Ryrie’s work as “a masterpiece of blending both historical records with biblical exegesis to present a well-reasoned biblical answer to the burning question from this generation and those to come.”

    The River RoseThe River Rose by Gilbert Morris

    Life hasn’t been easy for Jeanne Bettencourt, a widow approaching thirty and struggling to provide for her eight-year-old daughter. But hope arrives in the form of the Helena Rose, a steamboat she unexpectedly inherits from a distant, departed relative. Jeanne’s father had captained a similar vessel and taught her how to pilot a steamer along the banks of Memphis. She’s looking forward to a renewed livelihood on the mighty Mississippi.

    However, as plans are made, news comes of another heir to the Helena Rose – a tough man named Clint Hardin – and a clause in the will that says claimants of the estate must live aboard the boat. Jeanne, a Christian woman, makes it clear she won’t stay with a man who is not her husband. But both are desperate for work, so they agree to keep their distance as Clint occupies the lower deck and Jeanne takes the captain’s quarters.

    As they restore the Helena Rose, the slowly softening Clint becomes attracted to Jeanne – who is now being courted by a wealthy plantation owner. With her family and future at stake, the desires of Jeanne’s heart are duly complex. Only her simple faith can navigate her through what’s about to happen.

    What Would Jesus Drink? What the Bible Really Says About Alcohol – Just 99 Cents!

    What Would Jesus Drink? What the Bible Really Says About AlcoholWhat Would Jesus Drink? What the Bible Really Says About Alcohol by Brad Whittington

    What would Jesus drink? As every new generation arrives at the age of majority, the question is asked again. For the sincere follower of Jesus, the answer is not as easy to find as one might expect.

    Was Jesus really the miraculous bartender by creating wine at a wedding, as some have said? Did Jesus really drink wine at the Last Supper? Was the wine in the Bible really grape juice? Is drinking wine, beer or liquor a sin, or just a personal preference? Should a Christian abstain anyway, even if it’s not a sin?

    Brad Whittington decided to dig deeper, to find every verse in the Bible that touched on this topic, and figure it out. He set aside any sermons he might have heard, any personal history, any personal preference, and began a search for the truth, committed to following it wherever it might lead.

    This book is a quick-read, a chronicle of that search and his conclusions. For those who also want to take the time to dig deeper, at the end of the book he includes a list of all 247 verses in the Bible that refer to wine and strong drink so you can easily read them for yourself and also read them in context. He also include a bibliography of other books on the topic, most of which disagree with his conclusions, for those who want to research further.

    Drake Weston, Duke of Northumberland, is accustomed to a life of royalty until a tragic mistake followed by murderous rage results in his darkening character and sudden flee from England.

    Recovering the Real Lost GospelRecovering the Real Lost Gospel by Darrell Bock

    While many scholars around the world study and further pursue the discovery of so-called lost gospels, New Testament professor Darrell L. Bock believes the real lost gospel is the one already found in the Bible.

    “Recovering the Real Lost Gospel is written with the conviction that the church has become cloudy on the purpose of the gospel,” he explains. “It is in many ways a biblical theology of the gospel.”

    Bock traces key themes and texts from Scripture to answer the central question: What does the Bible say about the gospel? His response throughout clearly emphasizes that the gospel is good news and based on a restored relationship with God. Readers are invited on this mission of rediscovery to reclaim a message that has much to offer all people in a needy world.
