    Welcome to Last Chance by Cathleen Armstrong

    Welcome to Last ChanceWelcome to Last Chance
    by Cathleen Armstrong

    The red warning light on her car dashboard drove Lainie Davis to seek help in the tiny town of Last Chance, New Mexico. But as she encounters the people who make Last Chance their home, it’s her heart that is flashing bright red warning lights. These people are entirely too nice, too accommodating, and too interested in her personal life for Lainie’s comfort – especially since she’s on the run and hoping to slip away unnoticed.

    Yet in spite of herself, Lainie finds that she is increasingly drawn in to the dramas of small town life. An old church lady who always has room for a stranger. A handsome bartender with a secret life. A single mom running her diner and worrying over her teenage son. Could Lainie actually make a life in this little hick town? Or will the past catch up to her even here in the middle of nowhere?

    Heaven’s Calling: A Memoir of One Soul’s Steep Ascent by Leanne Payne

    Heaven's Calling: A Memoir of One Soul's Steep AscentHeaven’s Calling: A Memoir of One Soul’s Steep Ascent
    by Leanne Payne

    Leanne Payne was called out of brokenness into union with Christ, and her nearly fifty-year journey with God has been an adventure of healing, grace, and truth – and of the accompanying spiritual battles. She has spent her life proclaiming the freeing message that Christ lives in us, and offers the ministry of Jesus especially to those suffering from the effects of past sins and woundedness, self-rejection, and long-standing addictions.

    By exposing her own life, complete with its triumphs and failures, Mrs. Payne brings extraordinary clarity and understanding on a surprisingly large range of subjects, including gender identity, sexual neurosis, gnosticism, false prophecy, transference, healing prayer, incarnational reality, and sacramental worship. Her story illustrates how one soul, listening to and obeying the Lord, can revel in the abundant life that is available to us all.

    Snapshot by Lis Wiehl

    SnapshotSnapshot
    by Lis Wiehl

    Two little girls, frozen in black and white. One picture worth killing for.

    The Civil Rights Movement is less than a distant memory to Lisa Waldren – it is someone else’s memory altogether, passed on to her through the pages of history. Her life as a federal prosecutor in Boston feels utterly remote from the marches in the South that changed her father’s generation – and the entire nation – forever.

    But the truth is, she was there.

    When a photograph surfaces showing a blond, four-year-old Lisa playing with an African-American girl at a civil rights march in Fort Worth, Lisa is faced with a jarring revelation: the girls may have been the only witnesses who observed the killer of civil rights leader Benjamin Gray… and therefore the only ones who can exonerate the death row inmate falsely accused of the murder.

    Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World by Zig Ziglar

    Raising Positive Kids in a Negative WorldRaising Positive Kids in a Negative World
    by Zig Ziglar

    Raising positive, drug-free kids in a negative world is not easy, but in the long run it’s easier than raising negative ones. Now, the bestselling motivational author reveals his simple prescription for success with children, step by positive step.

    Drawing on the most comprehensive measurable results ever made available to an author – his “I CAN” course, taught in more than five thousand schools with more than three million participants – and his own successes and failures as a parent, Zig Ziglar offers sensible guidelines on:

    • Praise and encouragement: Children can hardly have too much of the right kinds. Look for the good in your children and you will find it.
    • Drugs: The latest statistics and a winning approach to teaching kids to say no, starting with cigarettes.
    • Time: Quality time is not enough. Kids need a lot of time with parents (and virtually none with TV).
    • Discipline: The loving parent will not shirk it.
    • Sex and romance: Be frank, be firm, be realistic.

    And much more, in a book that is both refreshingly old-fashioned and startlingly new.

    Abraham (P.S.) by Bruce Feiler

    Abraham (P.S.)Abraham (P.S.)
    by Bruce Feiler

    In this timely, provocative, and uplifting journey, the bestselling author of Walking the Bible searches for the man at the heart of the world’s three monotheistic religions – and today’s deadliest conflicts.

    At a moment when the world is asking, “Can the religions get along?” one figure stands out as the shared ancestor of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. One man holds the key to our deepest fears – and our possible reconciliation. Abraham.

    Bruce Feiler set out on a personal quest to better understand our common patriarch. Traveling in war zones, climbing through caves and ancient shrines, and sitting down with the world’s leading religious minds, Feiler uncovers fascinating, little-known details of the man who defines faith for half the world.

    Both immediate and timeless, Abraham is a powerful, universal story, the first-ever interfaith portrait of the man God chose to be his partner. Thoughtful and inspiring, it offers a rare vision of hope that will redefine what we think about our neighbors, our future, and ourselves.

    by Deborah Vogts

    She loves the land. Mattie Evans grew up in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Although her family has lost their ranch, she still calls this land home. A skilled young veterinarian, she struggles to gain the confidence of the local ranchers. Fortunately, her best friend and staunchest supporter is John McCray, owner of the Lightning M Ranch. They both love the ranch, and can’t imagine living anywhere but in the Flint Hills. He’s haunted by it. Gil McCray, John’s estranged son, is a pro football player living in California. The ranch is where his mother died and where every aspect of the tallgrass prairie stirs unwanted memories of his older brother’s fatal accident. Gil decides leaving the ranch is the best solution for his ailing father and his own ailing heart. But he doesn’t count on falling in love.

    Falling in love isn’t an option. Or is it? When Mattie is called in to save a horse injured in a terrible accident, she finds herself unwillingly tossed into the middle of a family conflict.

    Running for My Life by Lopez Lomong

    Running for My LifeRunning for My Life
    by Lopez Lomong

    Running for My Life is not a story about Africa or track and field athletics. It is about outrunning the devil and achieving the impossible faith, diligence, and the desire to give back. It is the American dream come true and a stark reminder that saving one can help to save thousands more.

    Lopez Lomong chronicles his inspiring ascent from a barefoot lost boy of the Sudanese Civil War to a Nike sponsored athlete on the US Olympic Team. Though most of us fall somewhere between the catastrophic lows and dizzying highs of Lomong’s incredible life, every reader will find in his story the human spark to pursue dreams that might seem unthinkable, even from circumstances that might appear hopeless.

    The Jim Rubart Trilogy: Rooms, Book of Days, and The Chair by James L. Rubart

    The Jim Rubart Trilogy: Rooms, Book of Days, and The ChairThe Jim Rubart Trilogy: Rooms, Book of Days, and The Chair
    by James L. Rubart

    You can now get all three of Rubart’s novels together at once!

    Rooms, a profound spiritual tale spun with imaginative flair, transports you to rainy Seattle where software tycoon Micah Taylor receives a cryptic note telling of a beachfront home he inherited from an uncle he hasn’t seen in twenty-five years. Micah soon discovers there is more to this home than what is on the surface – it is in fact a physical manifestation of his soul, which God uses to heal Micah’s darkest wounds and lead him into an astonishing new destiny.

    Book of Days, a fast-paced and thought provoking allegory, explores the power of memories and the lengths some will go to just to keep them alive. Cameron, struggling to remember his wife who was killed two years earlier in an accident, seeks an ancient book to save his mind. But others want to claim it for more nefarious purposes.

    The Chair, a dynamic fast paced thriller, tells the story of a chair claimed to have been made by Jesus Christ himself. Antique dealer Corin Roscoe, who skeptically bought the chair from an elderly lady, is forced to reconsider its authenticity after a young boy is miraculously healed after sitting in it. Word quickly spreads of the chair’s power, and Corin’s life begins to shatter as he searches for the truth about the artifact and the unexplained phenomena surrounding it. And he’s not the only one willing do almost anything to possess the power seemingly connected to the chair.

    Anything by Jennie Allen

    AnythingAnything
    by Jennie Allen

    Safe. Comfortable. Happy. Words we all love. Feelings we want. Even crave. We may love God, but being that he’s invisible, words like comfortable seem to feel better faster.

    We are all chasing something. Our hearts were made to run hard and fast after things that move us. But as a generation we are all beginning to stir and wake up, identifying that these words don’t satisfy for long, especially when compared to God. If God is real, and we are going to live with Him forever, shouldn’t He be everything?

    Caught in this familiar haze of worldly happiness and empty pursuits, Jennie Allen and her husband Zac prayed a courageous prayer of abandonment that took them on an adventure God had written for them.

    Anything is a prayer of surrender that will spark something. A prayer that will move us to stop chasing things that just make us feel happy and start living a life that matters. A life that is… Surrendered. Reckless. Courageous.

    Smitten Book Club by Colleen Coble

    Smitten Book ClubSmitten Book Club
    by Colleen Coble

    The thick, leathery tome Heather pulled out of the dusty cardboard box was definitely coming home with her. Not only was The Gentlewoman’s Guide to Love and Courtship an appealing curiosity by virtue of its title; it was also written by Smitten, Vermont native Pearl Chambers, a local gentlewoman from three generations back.

    Little did Heather know the repercussions this little curiosity would have on her and her friends’ romantic exploits.

    When Heather and her fellow book club members begin passing the book around, their respective interpretations are unleashed on their respective love lives… for better or for worse. Is it a mystery? An idealist fantasy? An intimation of Jane Austen? As romantic love finds its way to each woman, the Guide proves itself both surprisingly prescient and hilariously irrelevant.

    What’s more, a handwritten inscription indicates that the arcane book might hold the only extant clues leading to buried gold – exactly what one of the members needs to keep her house. How could they not go treasure hunting?
