Confessions
of a
Prayer Slacker By
Diane Moody
Christian Life/Prayer
Let's face it. Most of
us really suck at praying.
Why is that? And how come
we've never done anything
about it? In Confessions
of a Prayer Slacker,
author Diane Moody traces
her own personal prayer
journey with a touch of
humor and a healthy dose of
transparency. "I want my
readers to stop the
merry-go-round of prayerless
screw-ups, quit acting like
a bunch of spiritual babies,
and get serious about this
thing called prayer! Without
it, we'll never experience
the warm, one-on-one
relationship God so
deeply
desires to have
with each one of us."
When
every Christian
simultaneously receives a
shattering word from God,
revealing that time as we
know it is over, the world
is thrown into stark panic.
In the midst of heartbreak
and hope, two old friends,
hardened combat veterans
from the closing days of the
Vietnam War, set out on a
suspenseful quest to redeem
that time.
But what they cannot know is
that they—and their entire
church—have been targeted
for satanic annihilation.

faces were the same—will
their fates be as well?
Eccentric newspaper
columnist Cassandra Chase
and by-the-book Detective
Jeff McMichaels clash over
the murder investigation of
Lynette Sandler—a woman who
looks eerily like the
popular columnist.
Through Lynette's diary,
Cassie soon discovers a
tangled web of deception
involving her family and
friends. The uncanny
similarities of the two
women's lives and rash of
attacks on Cassie, lead her
to the conclusion that she,
not Lynette Sandler, was the
murderer's original mark.
For McMichaels, the Sandler
case becomes more than just
a test of his mental acumen.
Despite departmental
regulations and his own
common sense, he finds
himself drawn to a woman he
was determined to dislike.
But can he keep her alive
long enough for their
relationship to grow?
Seasons in the Mist by
Deb Kinnard Historical Fiction
Bethany Lindstrom, a
graduate student in history,
wants the same things as any
ambitious historian:
worldwide academic
recognition, a series of
brilliant papers, and a
reputation that places her
in the front ranks of her
peers. She's well on the way
to achieving her goals when
her trip to the U.K. to work
on a dig at Oxford goes awry
from the moment she lands at
Heathrow. A missing taxi,
and enigmatic acquaintance,
and an unplanned trip to
Cornwall form no part of her
plans. Then, as she wanders
around her hostess's ancient
home, searching for history,
she stumbles through an
unseen portal to the
fourteenth century.
Stranded in 1353 Cornwall,
Bethany must find a way back
home or face a life of
falsehoods and peril. But
with the stern overlord Sir
Michael Veryan, she is swept
into the dangerous intrigues
of King Edward's court,
which will test their mettle
and their faith in God to
the limits—and forever bind
their lives together.

Home is where the heart is .
. . or is it?
Three years after Kate
Sterling’s heart was
shattered by the unexpected
death of her husband, home
is about loyalty and
practicality. So she packs
up what is left of her life
in Nashville, Tennessee, and
moves back to Harvest Bay in
north central Ohio with her
young daughter. Expecting
her hometown to be the same
sleepy little community she
grew up in, she discovers
that some things have
changed.
First, Adam Sullivan, the
once goof-off jock she
avoided in high school,
breaks down her initial
defenses and becomes Kate’s
confidante. Having
experienced hardships of his
own, he understands her in a
way no one else can. He is
gentle, insightful,
compassionate . . . and
miraculously makes her
broken heart perform
acrobatics. But in order for
their relationship to grow
closer, Kate not only has to
get past the pain of losing
her husband, but she also
has to deal with the fact
that Adam is not a
Christian. With her own
faith on shaky ground, does
she have the passion and
fire to lead someone else to
Christ?
Then Kate learns the town’s
doctor is expanding his
office and her
brother-in-law, Nathan
Sterling, is leaving his
successful Vanderbilt
practice to accept the open
physician position, and she
finds her head spinning. At
first it’s almost like
having a piece of her
husband back . . . until
Nathan confesses his love
for her, leaving her
emotions torn.
It isn’t until Kate suffers
another devastating loss
that she finally understands
that the God who loves and
cares for her has given her
a second chance at love. Now
she must make a decision: Is
God leading her to a love
linked to the past . . . or
to one who will walk with
her into the future? Which
road will Kate take on
