Boo : A Novel
$18.99Add to cartTalk about Working out Your Faith with Fear and Trembling.
The biggest thing to happen to Skary, Indiana, is renowned horror novelist Wolfe Boone-or, “Boo,” as the locals fondly call him. For the past sixteen years, the reclusive writer has been the town’s greatest attraction, having unintentionally turned the once-struggling Skary into a thriving tourist-trap for the dark side: from the Haunted Mansion restaurant, famous for its “bloody fingers” (fries splattered with ketchup) to Spooky’s Bookstore (where employees dress like the walking dead).
But when a newly reformed Wolfe suddenly quits the genre and subsequently starts to pursue Skary’s favorite girl-next-door, Ainsley Parker, the little town made famous by his writings becomes truly horrified. Soon, a scheme is plotted to put the fright back into Skary-and get their most famous resident out of love and back into the thrill business.
Filled with humor, small town charm, and a gentle message of enduring faith, Boo shows how even the most colorful group of busybodies and hypocrites can become a community changed forever by God.

Sliver Of Presence
$16.99Add to cartThe sunset was a sliver of proof that a place outside the prison walls of flesh existed, and the never born resided there, frolicking with the never met, and he, an invalid castaway, could feel it beckoning him, calling for him through the wide open fields. “All of flesh is but a purifier of souls,” it said. Simon and David are born on a small farm, a Garden of Eden. Their grandfather and Rufus work the farm, their grandmothers work the family, and their mother works magic. Their father is Jesse. Football and alcohol are the flesh gods of south Georgia. Jesse worships both. Simon and David pay for Jesse’s sins. The price is steep in flesh. They both love Elizabeth. She is far too weak for what she must endure. At sunset, when the house had cooled enough to allow intruders, and the golds of the fields had gone, all that remained were shed crosses, of straw and wood and stone. The bright orange from the fire now covered the sky, God’s work on a canvas of air. The flesh that cowers from demons has the heaviest cross to bear, for in all things can be found heaven, and it is always sunset, somewhere.

Peculiar People : Aquila And Prisca
$35.99Add to cartWhen Tess Swift, a young archaeologist estranged from her husband, her family, and her God, steals an ancient scroll she mysteriously finds in the ruins of Ephesus, she expects it to bring her financial freedom to start a new life. Instead, she finds herself swept into a journey of self-examination and spiritual awakening as she reads about the trials and triumphs of the first-century church. The scroll turns out to be the story of Aquila and Prisca (Priscilla), co-workers of Paul mentioned in four of his epistles. From Aquila’s conversation in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost to their last years in Ephesus when Prisca meets a dying Virgin Mary, their story challenges Tess to examine her life and come to terms with her guilt. The bulk of this book tells the fictionalized story of the only married couple mentioned prominently in the New Testament, using real biblical and historical events as a dramatic backdrop for both ordinary and miraculous events in their lives. Broad in scope, this book covers the period from A.D. 28 to A.D. 78, giving the reader a vivid picture of the early years of the church and the Roman Empire. This book will entertain, educate, and inspire readers, perhaps leading some to share the conclusion Tess reaches in the dramatic finale.

Red Lion : A Novel Of The Cold War
$17.49Add to cartRed Lion is a story of mystery and international intrigue. The novel spans the era from the Great Depression to the culmination of the Cold War and presupposes a different scenario of events leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union–a scenario more technologically decisive and perilous than the historical circumstances that actually brought down the Iron Curtain. The theme of the novel is woven through two persons who lead mutually exclusive lives, but as the story evolves, develop an unexpected and intertwined relationship. Timothy Hudson is a foundling left on the steps of a Baltimore, Maryland church rectory on New Year’s Eve, 1924. As a teenager, he is the subject of a mysterious disappearance, which is only explained many years after the fact. Robert (Rob) Kimbee is a newly appointed U.S. Secretary of Defense, circa 1980, who has been thrust into the task of developing a powerful, but controversial, high energy laser weapons system. The clandestine nature of the project brings personal and political problems to Rob, which are exacerbated by covert Soviet attempts to uncover the nature of the highly classified project. Although Red Lion is fictional, the eventual success of directed energy research could result in a huge shift in the technological balance of power and precipitate an era of political turmoil similar to that noted in the book.

Joseph Arnst Garrett had served under Napoleon when he was young, and he had witnessed the horrors of war. He also understood the political-ethnic-cultural makeup in the Fatherland and the fact that Germany had known warfare off and on for centuries, one war lasting for thirty years. He feared for his wife, two sons, and eight daughters, and he determined to take his family to America. But, would Metternich, the present ruler, or the young revolutionaries permit him to go and take his wealth? He owned three thriving businesses as well as his family estate. Johann Joseph Arnst Garrett, as the oldest son, has a hard decision to make: go to America with his family, join the young revolutionaries, or join Metternich’s army. Hendrick Bhonn Haar, a 21-year-old orphan, is a friend of Johann’s and works alongside of Johann in the Garrett family business. He is a Christian in the Brethren sect, which is hated by Catholic and Reformation Protestants alike. And he has fallen in love with Victoria, one of the Garrett daughters. What can come of this? Will he too go to America?

Calling : The Seven Days Of Religious Tolerance
$22.99Add to cartThe characters in this book find themselves in a fight with Satan for the creation of a one-world religion. We are quickly approaching the rapture of the Church. Time is running out to make a difference. I feel it is an important piece because it says a lot of things that the Christian community today needs to say, but is unwilling or afraid to say. We will continue to lose our religious freedoms in this country if we continue to do nothing. Right now, the only ones speaking are special interest groups. I think most Christians today feel Jesus will be coming back soon; He’ll take care of everything. While we’re waiting, our God-given rights are being pushed under the legislative carpet. Reform goes to the loudest voice. What was “one nation under God” is quickly drying up in our unwillingness to stand up and say, “NO MORE.” What sets this book apart from other angel-type books is that the angelic character here is mostly interested in teaching the Word of God. His devotion to duty and his desire to tell of the things of God are paramount in his existence. All kinds of different emotions will be brought to bear as you read, THE CALLING: SEVEN DAYS OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE. May God be praised. -Frank Deming

Womens Intuition
$20.99Add to cartSamson, author of The Church Ladies, stakes out her claim as a novelist of distinction for readers who enjoy evangelical Christian fiction but often choke on the pabulum that passes for it. Larkspur Summerville is a 41-year-old paranoid virtual recluse who for 20 years has kept a secret from her family-a secret that now threatens to become her undoing. Raised Methodist, her sanity is partially tethered to playing the organ for St. Dominic’s Catholic Church and experiencing the loving friendship of its priests, although Lark admits, “The whole Mary thing unsettles me.” Lark spends most of her free time running a toll-free prayer line, 1-777-IPRAY4U. When Lark’s house burns to the ground, she is forced to seek refuge with her estranged mother, Leslie, and Leslie’s live-in housekeeper and Internet guru, Prisma Percy. Rounding out the household is Lark’s hip, artsy daughter, Flannery, a barista at Starbucks, whose sanity is the glue that holds her strange family together. The finely crafted, first-person narratives alternate among the four women, with a short ending chapter from Lark’s brother, Newly. Samson occasionally overwrites and is a little heavy on the dialogue, but her prose is mostly excellent, and the characters appealing and compelling. The centerpiece of the novel is its beautiful depiction of faith and fear that avoids canned Christian gospel presentation scenes but is clear in its message. With this offering, Samson places herself in the ranks of the CBA’s best novelists, with writing that has the potential to find a general readership as well.

Hobbit : Or There And Back Again

Paul : A Novel
$18.99Add to cart2001 GOLD MEDALLION WINNER
The sequel to Walt Wangerin’s best-selling Book of God that picks up the New Testament narratives where The Book of God left off. This new volume tells the story of Saul/Paul, beginning with his early family life, developing through his persecution of the Christians, his conversion and early ministry, his missionary travels, and ending with his voyage to Rome. Most of the information is gathered from the books that The Book of God does not include: Acts and the epistles. This story is told in an epic, fictional style, like The Book of God, but it focuses on the single character, Paul, and thereby allows for a fuller and deeper development of character and plot.
