When Love Calls
$19.95
When the woman she always thought was her mother dies, Gail Templeton learns that she was adopted as a baby and that her birth mother still lives in California. Impulsively, Gail decides to go to California to find her.
But in California, confronting the lovely estate overlooking the Pacific where her birth mother lives, she is taken by a sudden fear of rejection. Was her birth kept a secret from family and friends? Is her mother a socialite who will be embarrassed by Gail’s Christian faith and by the fact she is just a special education teacher? Gail loses her courage, makes her way down to the beach under the cliff, finds what looks like a cozy spot, and sits down to contemplate the beautiful ocean and think.
Almost immediately, she is interrupted by an angry man, Ron Casabon, who shouts at her in Spanish and English, telling her to leave and calling her Loro. When the cliff behind them crumbles at the edge and they are both showered with dirt and rocks, Gail’s ankle is sprained.
Ron takes Gail to his home. When he learns that Gail is a teacher, he hires her to help his little daughter, Tabitha, who cannot speak and has been diagnosed as autistic.
Gail and Ron fall passionately in love and want to marry, but obstacles remain. Ron is suspected of murdering his wife. Gail does not want to be “unequally yoked.” Someone wants to kidnap and kill Tabitha. Gail meets her birth mother and her lookalike half-sister, Loro, a jealous cocaine addict also in love with Ron. Can Gail, with God’s help, overcome these problems? Is He telling her that love, in the form of Ron, her mother, Tabitha, and Loro, is calling?

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$26.99Add to cartGod always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99Add to cartIn this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
