They must set aside their own plans and rely on their faith to
bring their true destiny to light. Lilac Nielsen's dream has come
true: handsome young Reverend Ethan Pritchard has finally noticed
her. Yet she must balance this new courtship with the pursuit of
another dream--the publication of her artwork in a New York paper.
She has secretly been submitting a series of drawings under a pen
name, and if anyone traces the drawings back to her and finds out
where Lilac and her sisters settled, the entire Nielsen family
could be in danger. As their family farm expands and Lilac's
relationship with the reverend grows, it's a time of new
beginnings. But when a family crisis back in Ohio shakes the
Nielsen sisters, can they continue to build the new life they've
begun in Nebraska? And will Lilac be prepared for what God has in
store for her future? "A tender story. I know my
readers will enjoy these stories and look forward to the books yet
to come."--TRACIE PETERSON, bestselling author of the Pictures of
the Heart series

The Original Rider Waite Tarot is the most popular and widely used
tarot card deck in the world. First issued in 1910, each card is
rich in symbolism and striking in its design. The deck is
accompanied by an invaluable instructional book, The Key to the
Tarot explaining the history and usage of the tarot cards, of which
there are 78 divided into the Major and Minor Arcanas. The book can
be used in conjunction with any set of tarot cards, but it was
written in particular to accompany the 78-card Rider Waite tarot
deck which was designed by Pamela Colman Smith in accordance with
A. E. Waite's instructions. The Key to the Tarot explains the
history and symbolism of the cards and gives instructions on how to
use them for purposes of divination. This edition includes a
specially commissioned foreword by Liz Greene.

The end of the Second World War led to the United States’
emergence as a global superpower. For war-ravaged Western Europe it
marked the beginning of decades of unprecedented cooperation and
prosperity that one historian has labeled “the long peace.” Yet
half a world away, in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea and
Malaya—the fighting never really stopped, as these regions sought
to completely sever the yoke of imperialism and colonialism with
all-too-violent consequences. East and Southeast Asia quickly
became the most turbulent regions of the globe. Within weeks of the
famous surrender ceremony aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, civil war,
communal clashes and insurgency engulfed the continent, from
Southeast Asia to the Soviet border. By early 1947, full-scale wars
were raging in China, Indonesia and Vietnam, with growing guerrilla
conflicts in Korea and Malaya. Within a decade after the Japanese
surrender, almost all of the countries of South, East and Southeast
Asia that had formerly been conquests of the Japanese or colonies
of the European powers experienced wars and upheavals that resulted
in the deaths of at least 2.5 million combatants and millions of
civilians. With A Continent Erupts, acclaimed military historian
Ronald H. Spector draws on letters, diaries and international
archives to provide, for the first time, a comprehensive military
history and analysis of these little-known but decisive events. Far
from being simply offshoots of the Cold War, as they have often
been portrayed, these shockingly violent conflicts forever changed
the shape of Asia, and the world as we know it today.
Is agreeing to disagree good enough for God's family? Christians
don't necessarily agree with each other when it comes to questions
of religious pluralism, homosexuality, the role of government,
abortion, and war. Too often, we manage these disagreements by
ignoring them. Yet we are called to engage the world for the sake
of Christ. How can we be effective if we avoid society's most
pressing questions? In 10 Issues That Divide Christians, Alex
McFarland challenges Christ-followers to drill down to the biblical
core of ten current issues--such as social justice, evil and
suffering, pornography, and environmentalism, among others--and
echoes the biblical invitation: "Come let us reason together." Only
by engaging the Scriptures deeply, thinking clearly, and speaking
truthfully can we in God's family address our differences and
discover the peace that comes with unity of purpose. With the Bible
as our guidebook and the Spirit as our guide, we can respond to
today's urgent questions with the mind of Christ.
WHEN THE VILLAGE OF FARTHERING ST. JOHN IS Stunned BY A SERIES OF
MURDERS, DREW FARTHERING IS DRAWN again INTO THE SLEUTHING GAME.
Drew Farthering wanted nothing more than to end the summer of
1932 with the announcement of his engagement. Instead, he finds
himself caught up in another mysterious case when the family
solicitor is found murdered, an antique hatpin with a cryptic
message, "Advice to Jack," piercing his chest.
Evidence of secret meetings and a young girl's tearful confession
point to the victim's double life, but what does the solicitor's
murder have to do with the murder of a physician on the local golf
course? Nothing, it would seem--except for another puzzling note,
affixed with a similar-looking bloodied hatpin.
Soon the police make an arrest in connection with the murders, but
Drew isn't at all certain they have the right suspect in custody.
And why does his investigation seem to be drawing him closer and
closer to home?
PRAISE for "RULES OF MURDER"
"Readers will want to carve out uninterrupted time to read this
mystery in one sitting. Red herrings at every turn will have them
guessing and flipping pages until the shocking end."
--Chandra McNeil, "RT Book Reviews"

Motherhood and creativity can coexist. You have creative dreams
swirling in your heart, but pursuing them while changing diapers
and managing the carpool schedule feels impossible. You have no
time. No space. You can mother, or you can create. You certainly
can't do both (right?!). But what if you could pursue your
God-given creative gifts alongside motherhood, for the enrichment
of both experiences? What if you stopped viewing creativity as a
selfish act, and started to see it as essential to your own
flourishing as a mother? This book is a much-needed permission slip
to do just that--through the pictures you take, the stories you
write, the meals you make, the music you play, the gardens you
grow. In this unforgettable book filled with rich storytelling and
stunning photographs, writer and mother Ashlee Gadd helps you set
aside the guilt and discover the sacred connection between creating
and mothering. One-part commissioning, one-part pep talk, Create
Anyway will propel you forward with a renewed sense of energy,
purpose, and enthusiasm for stewarding the creative dreams God has
planted in your heart--right alongside the diapers and carpool.
Here's to creating in the margins of motherhood. Here's to creating
anyway.
The Truth Revealed
Freemasons have been connected to the all-seeing eye on the
dollar bill, the French Revolution, the Knights Templar, and the
pyramids of Egypt. They have been rumored to be everything from a
cabal of elite power brokers ruling the world to a covert network
of occultists and pagans intent on creating a new world order, to a
millennia-old brotherhood perpetuating ancient wisdom through
esoteric teachings. Their secret symbols, rituals, and organization
have remained shrouded for centuries and spawned theory after
theory. The Masonic Myth sets the record straight about the
Freemasons and reveals a truth that is far more compelling than the
myths.
