Cole Kimball and Laila Olivet have been best friends their entire
lives. Cole is the only person (apart from blood relatives) who's seen
Laila in her oversized, pink, plastic, Sophia Loren glasses. Laila is
always the first person to taste test any new dish Cole creates in his
family's restaurant . . . even though she has the refined palate of a
kindergartener. Most importantly, Cole and Laila are always talking.
About everything.
When Cole discovers a betrayal from his recently deceased grandfather
that shatters his world, staying in Adelaide Springs, Colorado, is
suddenly unfathomable. But Laila loves her life in their small mountain
town and can't imagine ever living anywhere else. She loves serving
customers who tip her with a dozen fresh eggs. She loves living within
walking distance of all her favorite people. And she's very much not
okay with the idea of not being able to walk to her very favorite
person.
Still, when Cole toys with moving across the country to New York City,
she decides to support her best friend--even as she secretly hopes she
can convince him to stay home. And not just for his killer chocolate
chip pancakes. Because she loves him. As a friend. Just as a friend.
Right?
They make a deal: Laila won't beg him to stay, and Cole won't try to
convince her to come with him. They have one week in New York before
their lives change forever, and all they have to do is enjoy their time
together and pretend none of this is happening. But it's tough to
ignore the very inconvenient feelings blooming out of nowhere. In both
of them. And these potentially friendship-destroying feelings, once out
in the open, have absolutely no take-backs.
If When Harry Met Sally had a quippy literary love child with Gilmore
Girls' Luke and Lorelai, you'd get Cole and Laila. Just . . . don't
tell them that.
Die vroue in Jesus se geslagsregister was dapper, het risiko’s geneem
en die onverwagte gedoen. Hulle was nie perfek nie, en tog het God
hulle in sy wonderlike plan gebruik om die Verlosser van die wêreld
voort te bring.
Ons leef in moeilike tye en soek antwoorde op miljoene vrae. Die lesse
wat ons by hierdie vroue kan leer, is vandag net so toepaslik as in die
tyd toe hulle geleef het.
Die verhale van die vyf vroue in die geslagsregister van Jesus is nou
in een boek beskikbaar. Tamar was ’n vrou van hoop. Ragab een van
geloof. Rut was die vrou van liefde en Batseba het ongeëwenaarde genade
ontvang. En dan is daar Maria, die vrou van gehoorsaamheid. Met die
lees van hulle verhale sal jy beter begrip kry vir God se plan met die
wêreld en tot die besef kom dat hierdie plan ook vir jóú insluit.

people will discover if there is more power in speech . . . or in
silence.

1875. Wanneer Kathryn Walsh in die myndorp Calvada aankom, is liefde
die laaste ding waaraan sy dink. Haar welgestelde stiefpa het haar
weggestuur uit Boston om ’n erflating te kom opeis van ’n oom wat sy
nooit geken het nie: ’n klein koerantkantoortjie in die hoofstraat van
’n dorpie vol bordele en kroeë, en ’n skynbaar waardelose myn.
Kathryn besluit om haar oom se koerant weer op die been te bring en
bevind haar kort voor lank midde-in ’n storm tussen twee van Calvada se
magtigste mans. Kathryn is egter vasbeslote om aan te hou sê – en skryf
– waarin sy glo.
Matthias Beck, kroeg- en hotel-eienaar, sien onmiddellik dat die
beeldskone, uitgesproke rooikop net so vasberade soos haar oom is. En
hy weet haar strewe na geregtigheid kan ook háár dood veroorsaak ...
Die aantreklike hotel-eienaar en die eiesinnige juffrou Walsh sien dat
hulle tog vir dieselfde ding baklei: ’n dorp waarop hulle trots kan
wees. Almal wil graag ryk word in die myndorpie, maar dit is ’n liefde
baie kosbaarder as goud wat almal in die dorp uiteindelik sal red.

prison.

vowed never to let love steal her dreams again. But as she gets to know

California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a
bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. Angel
expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a
child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates
most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside.
Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father’s heart in
everything. Michael obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her
unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter
expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to
thaw.
But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of
unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away
from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer
can deny: Her final healing must come from the One who loves her even
more than Michael does…the One who will never let her go.
A powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea, Redeeming Love is

1875. When Kathryn Walsh arrives in tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled
in the Sierra Nevadas, falling in love is the farthest thing from her
mind. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, she has come to
claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper
office on a main street overflowing with brothels and saloons, and a
seemingly worthless mine. Moved by the oppression of the local miners
and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle’s
newspaper―and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted
against Calvada’s most powerful men. But Kathryn intends to continue to
say―and publish―whatever she pleases, especially when she knows she’s
right.
Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, has a special
interest in the new lady in town. He instantly recognizes C. T. Walsh’s
same tenacity in the beautiful and outspoken redhead―and knows all too
well how dangerous that family trait can be. While Kathryn may be right
about Calvada’s problems, her righteousness could also get her killed.
But when the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side
of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias’s restless search
for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart.
Everyone may be looking to strike it rich in this lawless boomtown, but
it’s a love more precious than gold that will ultimately save them all.
Historians refer to the Spanish Civil War as one of the bloodiest wars of the twentieth century. In 1937, at Mexico s request and offer, nearly 500 children from Spain remembered as Los Niños de Morelia were relocated via ship to Mexico to escape the war s violence. These children traveled across the sea without their families and were expected to return at the war s end. No one could have foreseen another world war was on the way or that that Franco s regime would prevent the children from coming home. These enduring conflicts trapped the children in a country far from their homeland, and many never made it back. Remember Me is Mario Escobar s novelization of these events, as told by a fictional survivor one of the children of Morelia who looks back upon his life after making the long and devastating journey across the Atlantic. This story explores the endurance of the human spirit as well as the quandary of a parent s impossible decision, asking: At what cost do you protect your child in the face of uncertainty?

On the eve of his medical retirement, Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson receives a frantic call from his estranged childhood best friend David Yarnell. David’s daughter has been kidnapped off the streets of Nashville in broad daylight. The police have no suspects and no leads. The only clue: the body of a dead priest left behind at the scene. With the clock ticking, David is growing desperate, as is his wife, Rachel . . . Jed’s first love.
Despite his painful history with David and Rachel, Jed agrees to help. But he’s spent his career as a door-kicking Navy SEAL, not an investigator. His presence immediately draws unwanted attention, creates friction with the local police, and triggers a mysterious attempt on his life. Just when he thinks things can’t get worse, it starts to happen again—the voices in his head, the nightmares, the visions. Dark memories and strange abilities, things he believed he’d left behind when he fled Nashville for the Navy at eighteen, begin to resurface.
Jed realizes that to save the missing girl, he must take a leap of faith and embrace the gifts he’s denied for all these years. To foil this dark intercept, he’ll need more than just his years as a SEAL operator, because he has no choice now but to take up arms and join the battle in the unseen spiritual warfare raging all around him. And there is far more at stake than just a missing girl: the world is not the place he thought it was—and he is not alone.
Follow the military heroes of The Shepherds series as they bring the power of light into the dark mystery of Sara Beth’s abduction.
