Joshua In A Troubled World
$16.00The bestselling Joshua series takes an invigorating, timely new turn as Girzone’s beloved hero spreads his message of love and compassion from the streets of our nation’s capital to the blood-soaked lands of the Middle East.
Joseph Girzone possesses a unique ability to make Jesus’ words and actions come to life for contemporary audiences. His fictional depictions of Jesus’ return to the present-day world-the Joshua series-have inspired millions of readers. Joshua in a Troubled World is at once a magnificent continuation of his perennially popular series and an enlightening perspective on the political paranoia and destructive acts of vengeance that fill the front pages of our daily newspapers. Arriving in Washington, D.C., Joshua walks along Pennsylvania Avenue with a cool detachment and determination that sets him apart from the bustling crowds. Under ordinary circumstances, he would no doubt be seen simply as a man wrapped in his own thoughts. But in these security-obsessed times, his Middle Eastern appearance and his spontaneous stops at various churches, temples, and mosques inevitably arouse suspicions. Taken into custody by two government agents, Joshua challenges the legal and moral justness of their actions and they reluctantly release him to continue his mission. It is the most difficult and controversial mission he has ever undertaken-a plan to unite Arab- and Jewish-Americans and to work with them to resolve the bitter wars and religious animosities in the Middle East.
Peopled with prominent figures such as Ariel Sharon, and moving from Washington to Beirut and then to Oslo while the peace accords are being hammered out, Joshua in a Troubled World explores the most explosive issues of our day and offers a realistic, compassionate assessment of the things that divide us and the beliefs that can serve as a foundation for a new, more peaceful world.

$16.86Christmas-only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America.

But taking a lighter approach to the argument, wouldn’t it be fun if, somehow, through some bizarre chain of events, the person who most fervently opposes open displays of religion, became the mouthpiece from which a fictitious law like the Anti-Intolerance bill, was overturned? This story brings to life a witty rendition of the political struggles fought every December over something as humble and yet powerful as the display of the Nativity Scene.

Dead Dont Dance
$14.99Last October, after the soybeans had peaked at four feet, the corn spiraled to almost double that, and the wisteria had shed its purple, a breeze picked up, pushed out the summer heat, and woke Maggie. She rolled over, tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go swimming.” We held hands down to the river where Maggie took a swan dive into the South Carolina moonlight.
And so the story begins for Dylan and Maggie Styles, a young couple in love, who wait expectantly for the birth of their first son. But events take a tragic turn in the delivery room, and their child is delivered stillborn. When Maggie hemorrhages and slips into a coma, Dylan too slips into what can only be described as a walking coma, holding vigil at Maggie’s bedside. Usually tough and self-reliant, an outdoorsman and a farmer, Dylan finds that everything he has known and relied upon, even his deepest sense of who he is as a person, is suddenly thrown into doubt. In a desolate place, naked and alone, he asks “Why live?” and hopes someone is listening who has the answer. Through friends and grace-filled moments of insight, the defenses around Dylan slowly break away, but it will take a second tragedy_and an anxious period of wrestling with God_to truly awaken him from his stupor and open him up to a new life.

Brink Of Death
$14.99Book one of the new edge-of-your-seat Hidden Faces series, featuring forensic artist Annie Kingston Annie Kingston moves to Grove Landing for safety and quiet_and finds herself face to face with evil. The noises, faint, fleeting, whispered into her consciousness like wraiths in the night. Twelve-year-old Erin Willit opened her eyes to darkness lit only by the dim green nightlight near her closet door and the umbra of a street lamp through her front window. She felt her forehead wrinkle, the fingers of one hand curl as she tried to discern what had awakened her. Something was not right. An oak tree lifted gnarled branches between the street lamp and her window, its leaves casting eerie spider-shadows across the far wall. When she’d been younger, Erin had asked that a small lamp on the desk by that wall be left on at night. Anything to dispel the jerking dances of those leaves. Lately she could watch the dark trembling across the posters of pop stars on her wall and be unafraid. But not tonight. On this night the shadows writhed and twitched. Erin listened . . . When Annie’s neighbor, Lisa Willit, is killed by an intruder in her home, Sheriff’s detectives are left with little evidence. Lisa’s daughter, Erin, saw the killer, but she’s too traumatized to give a description. The detectives grow desperate. Because of her background in art, Annie is asked to question Erin and draw a composite. But Annie knows little about forensic art or the sensitive interview process. A nonbeliever, she finds herself begging God for help. What if her lack of experience leads Erin astray? The detectives could end up searching for a face that doesn’t exist. Leaving the real killer free to stalk the neighborhood . . .

Forever New
$20.61Young Dan Hunt reluctantly accepts the invitation of his Bible college classmate to make Saturday night visits to witness for Christ in the waterfront area of Port Palms. This community has long been known as a cesspool of crime, immorality, drunkenness, and drug addition. He, however, becomes deeply involved with the troubled people he meets and returns often to help them. Dan decides he should continue serving in the waterfront community after graduation instead of accepting the pastorate of a prestigious church. His fiancee breaks their engagement. A mounting number of problems troubles Dan, including the efforts of the waterfront’s “Jezebel” to gain his affection. With the help of others, however, he continues his work, and by God’s grace and power, he eventually sees a new day come to the waterfront, as many testify that in Christ “all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

$23.73Shivering, Molly Montgomery peers through the branches of her secret place, watching as the lamp in her bedroom window flickers on, then off. Seconds later, a fluorescent glow appears through slatted shutters of the adjacent room. Five-year-old Molly shudders. Only she can interpret the signal. Jeremy, her older brother, is on the hunt. She is his prey. Secrets Behind the Door exposes the truth of incest, bringing the problem into focus through a family living in an affluent Chicago suburb. Real-estate maven Babs Montgomery heads the household-a role happily abdicated by her husband, Jameson. Their daughters barely register on their radar.

Shamed by the experience that forces her into an emotional deep freeze, Molly stays silent. People are dangerous. Isolation is safe. Only one person breaks through her armor: Kate Johnson, a whimsical redhead who becomes Molly’s lifelong friend. Through Kate and her family, Molly begins a healing journey that transforms her life.
