Then a voice calls out in the darkness and offers to bring them light. This is the story of Sam Mitchell, an engineer with one of the power managers in Brigos Glen. Seventy years have passed since light was restored to the village. Few remember the time before Last Day or the strangers who helped them in their time of need. But Sam has heard the stories and, with the guidance of his friend, seeks to help others as he goes about his seemingly unimportant, routine existence. That is, until he receives an ominous order from beyond the mountains that will change his life forever. For centuries mankind has sought God…not simply to find Him, but to understand Him. This quest has left many struggling in a maze of contradictions – one God but a Father, one God but a Son, one God but a Spirit – leading them to the ultimate question: Who is the Trinity? The answer is revealed in The Company by Chuck Graham, a clever allegory, carefully woven with surprising revelation of who God is, who we are before Him, and our calling to love and encourage each other.

Saddled with a man’s name, the captivating Billy Jack Tate makes no apologies for taking on a man’s profession. As a doctor at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, she is one step closer to having her very own medical practice-until Hunter Scott asks her to give it all up to become his wife.
Hunter is one of the elite. A Texas Ranger and World’s Fair guard specifically chosen for his height, physique, character, and skill. Hailed as the toughest man west of any place east, he has no patience for big cities and women who think they belong anywhere but home…

Promise In Pieces

Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Caught
$17.99Add to cartFor the Yada Yadas, gettin’ caught up in troubles isn’t the problem-it’s how to get free.
Only weeks ago, we Yadas toughened our prayer knees when one of our own was the victim of a vicious racial attack. Now it seems each household is being thrown into even worse circumstances. It especially worries me, Jodi Baxter, because I’m a fixer by nature, and the prayer list is getting out of control . . .Ruth and Ben are caught up in an unplanned pregnancy-in their fifties! Chanda is deluded by the glitter of her lottery dream come true. Florida wants to move her family, hoping to leave trouble behind, but it looks like it may catch up to her anyway. And I’m finding that even good things like prayer group can consume me in no time flat.
If there is an upside, it’s that all this trouble is revealing the subtle lies we Yadas believe about God, ourselves, each other, and life. Maybe our best hope is to catch on to what God’s doing-and catch on quick-before the enemy can take any prisoners. That’d be a freedom worth celebrating. And celebrating is what my spiritual sisters and I do best.

Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Tough
$17.99Add to cartThe Yada Yadas got tight in the past year, but they’re about to learn the real meaning of togetherness.
We’d done it: we’d taken a mismatched, diverse group of women and cobbled together a prayer group that really worked for all of us. Now that spring was here, we were celebrating our one-year anniversary-and a wedding, an early parole, and two baptisms in the lake! Everything was feeling pretty great.
But it’s when we’re in our comfort zone that we’re most likely to let our guard down. Without warning, lots of little things seemed to become big problems. With a white supremacy hate group targeting a local university, our very diversity almost became a liability. It took a vicious attack on Nony’s husband to make us see that we had to get tough-and fight back together.

Dusty And The Cowboy
$12.00Add to cartBook 2 of the Cowboy Trilogy Cowboy did not find Ray Patterson in Cowtown. His old pal was two years dead. Without Ray’s help, he would struggle to find Brother Van, the itinerant preacher, wherever that man might be in this wide open land. Locating the wandering evangelist was the only chance Cowboy had a real peace. His journey had begun. Excerpt: “A horse with an empty saddle wandering the trail alone, and no rider in sight, spells trouble. The man might have been pitched when his pony’s foot found the gopher hole. Or possibly he tumbled when he leaned east at the time his hoss jack-knifed south. Likely the man got his spine wrinkled in the process. As a result, he lived out a cowboy’s great fear: being left afoot. Injured, lame, stove-up, or worse; at the very least, the man ended up miles away from where he wanted to be. Now, shame-faced, he had to walk on thin-soled boots just to get back there.”

reading group guidecustomer reviewsIn the spirit of Anita Diamant’s The Red Tent comes an extraordinary debut novel that breathes life into Noah’s wife and combines history and mythology in an intensely suspenseful, page-turning narrative.The Bible neglects to give her a name, but in this ambitious, intricately woven novel, Rebecca Kanner gives Noah’s wife a voice and a rich, complex emotional life.
Cursed with a prominent birthmark on her face that many think is the mark of a demon, she is reviled by everyone except her father. To keep her safe, he gives his virtuous daughter to the ancient and righteous Noah who takes her to the town of Sorum, a land of outcasts and pariahs.
Though the 600-year old Noah prospers there, his wife is more alone than ever, living with an aloof husband who speaks more to God than with her, trying to make friends with the violent townsfolk and raising three sons who have developed some sinful tendencies themselves. When God tells Noah to build an ark so that he, his wife, three sons, and their three wives can repopulate the earth after the flood, her trials only multiply.
Not since The Red Tent has a novel so brilliantly illuminated the plight of forgotten Biblical women. Through her protagonist’s eyes, Rebecca Kanner explores the blurring lines between right and wrong as one woman struggles to find purpose and identity in a drowning world.

Mystery Mountain
$19.99Add to cartMystery Mountain is more than just a call to arouse your deepest heartfelt beliefs between you and your personal Creator… it’s also about the awesome power God desires to place at our footsteps, as He reveals Himself in the paths we choose to take.
You see, in this story a Massachusetts ninth grade science class and their teacher, having ostensible ties to the past, would receive an anonymous invitation to take a summer field trip to Mt. Ararat in Turkey all expenses paid. Having received the customary parental approvals off they went on a trip that would change their lives forever.
From the moment they set foot on what appears to be an ancient airfield to their mysterious journey through the hull of Noah’s Ark….. they began to realize they were being guided by a very powerful force. One that includes a variety of incidental encounters with some of the world’s greatest scientific, religious and philosophical minds, all sharing a common bond and personal revelation untold by those in the secular world perhaps guided by disbelief and an unwillingness to step out of their comfort zone.
Finally, it’s time to understand what motivated and inspired some of the world’s greatest minds beyond their personal achievements to mankind, something you won’t typically get in a classroom or mainstream media. And more importantly, this account should put to rest the age old argument of “God vs. Science” and in its stead, an irresistible temptation for the reader to explore the harmony between God and Science.
So, unleash the hidden ties that keep you from being all you can be and “enter in” to God’s world. One that has no boundaries apart from those our society chooses to recognize.
“Massively creative, filled with allegory and brimming over with sound and incontrovertible biblical truth”

Soul Searching : A Novel
$25.99Add to cartAlex considered his circumstances. It seemed his only option was to disappear. If he didn’t do so voluntarily, it appeared that there were powers that would make him do so involuntarily.
So begins Soul searching. A tightly crafted, frighteningly plausible thriller about controversial science, medical phenomena, tough moral choices and spiritual integrity. Soul searching is very visual, wonderfully cinematic storytelling presented through the engaging interactions of a cast of unique and involving characters moving through both familiar and exotic landscapes.
The philosopher’s stone. The elixir of life. The quest for immortality. What if there was some degree of truth embedded in these concepts? What if this piece of fiction, like so many others, turns out to be less an exercise in imagination and more one of extrapolation?
Alex is an intellectual man of faith, a devoted husband and an attentive father, struggling to balance his passions for his chosen field of study and his Lord. Caught in a relentless net of political controls and an expanding scientific moral vacuum, Alex discovers that some things are not as black and white as he might like, and that not everyone who is a friend today will be a friend tomorrow.
Whilst this is a fictional account, the basic scientific principles and knowledge leading to the story’s remarkable conclusion are all too real. Indeed, this last decade following the conception of the book has seen rapid advances in molecular biology, DNA sequencing, bio-terrorism and the study of near-death experiences, which only serve to increase the credibility of the underlying rationale. And if it puts your immortality outside of your own control, wouldn’t you want to know? Wouldn’t you want to retake control? If so, read on. If not-remember, you were warned.
