New Lineage Publication
Skunk Tales is a book of true short stories written by a mother about her small family. These original tales teach valuable character lessons from her life experiences. In 2002 Lynn and her son Alex moved from Florida to Texas and lived at a retreat center in the hill country. Their new life in the country along with their passion for the open air resulted with them encountering animals of various shapes, sizes, and scents. These new, unfamiliar experiences proved to be novel opportunities of learning and adventure. What a surprise it was when they arrived at their new home and discovered a strange foul odor about their house! Later they would learn that they had some uninvited quests. The close proximity of wildlife challenged Lynn to look at her life in a more meaningful way. This period of reflection resulted in her desire to share with others chapters of her life. In Skunk Tales Lynn writes about how God miraculously guided and cared for her and her son and compares these lessons to their observations of the various animals they observed. Flash is the story about the day they were raking leaves near the pond at the camp and a fox ran into the brush and dropped its food. Later that day Alex rushed through his school work and Lynn reminded him of the fox they had seen earlier in the day and encouraged him to pace himself with his studies. This opportunity prompted them to study the habitat and behaviors of the fox and all the important lessons they could learn from its example. Digger is the story about curiosity and staying on task. During their evening camp duties Lynn and her son decided to stop working to observe a skunk they had spotted. The skunk dug himself into a hole. Lynn and Alex ended up with their own consequences from this adventure. They learned a valuable lesson from Digger the skunk about following their noses. You will enjoy over sixty beautiful illustrations in Skunk Tales which accurately portray the true events of the stories. At the end of each chapter is an exciting and delightful section called Pooky’s Time Out. This is a very useful tool for parents to teach character lessons, motivate learning, and encourage families to spend intimate time together. Pooky’s Time Out is rich with fun activities to do and idioms to learn as well as Scriptures and prayers to read and songs to sing. As a result of reading Skunk Tales you will gain a fresh perspective and appreciation for the many valuable and meaningful o

Person Of Interest
$24.99Dateline featured cold-case detective and best-selling author J. Warner Wallace investigates Jesus, the most significant person in history, like one of his “missing body, cold-cases,” demonstrating why Jesus still matters today, even in a world that is skeptical of the Bible.
Detective J. Warner Wallace listened to a pastor talk about Jesus and wondered why anyone would think Jesus was a person of interest.
Wallace was skeptical of the Bible, but he’d investigated several “no-body, missing person” cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim’s body. He successfully identified and convicted the killers in these cases, even without evidence from the scene.
Could the historical life and actions of Jesus be investigated in the same way? Could the truth about Jesus be uncovered even without a body or a crime scene? In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity, as he employs a unique investigative strategy to confirm the historicity and deity of Jesus–without relying on the New Testament manuscripts.
Imagining a scenario in which every New Testament document has been destroyed, Wallace carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone to reconstruct the identity of Jesus as the world’s most important person of interest.
Person of Interest will:
*Invite readers into the life of a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus, using the same approach he also employs to solve a real murder case*Teach readers how to become good detectives, using an innovative and unique “‘fuse’ and ‘fallout'” investigative strategy they can also use to examine other claims of history
*Show how Jesus changed the world and why He still matters today
*Help readers to explore common objections to Christianity
Creative, compelling, and unique in its approach, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers, while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament.

Bruce Shelley’s classic history of the church brings the story of global Christianity into the twenty-first century. Like a skilled screenwriter, Shelley begins each chapter with three elements: characters, setting, plot. Taking readers from the early centuries of the church up through the modern era he tells his readers a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, provides a window into the circumstances and historical context, and from there develops the story of a major period or theme of Christian history. Covering recent events, this book also:
*Details the rapid growth of evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity in the southern hemisphere*Addresses the decline in traditional mainline denominations
*Examines the influence of technology on the spread of the gospel
*Discusses how Christianity intersects with other religions in countries all over the world
For this fifth edition, Marshall Shelley brought together a team of historians, historical theologians, and editors to revise and update this father’s classic text. The new edition adds important stories of the development of Christianity in Asia, India, and Africa, both in the early church as well as in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It also highlights the stories of women and non-Europeans who significantly influenced the development of Christianity but whose contributions are often overlooked in previous overviews of church history.
This concise book provides an easy-to-read guide to church history with intellectual substance. The new edition of Church History in Plain Language promises to set a new standard for readable church history.
