Triple bill of horror films. In 'Devil Riders' (2009), lawyers Robert (Bertie Higgins) and Allen (J.D. Rudometkin) go on a five-stop motorcycle poker run, along with their wives Susan (Debra Hopkins) and Cheri (Jasmine Waltz), but on the way they encounter psychopaths Ray (Robert Thorne) and Billy (Jay Wisell). Before long Susan and Cheri are kidnapped and Robert and Allen are put through their paces in a number of horrific challenges as they attempt to get their wives back. In 'The Maze' (2010), five teenagers decide to explore a corn maze one night. Unbeknown to them, however, a murderous lunatic lurks within the maze and is luring them to their deaths. Will any of them make it out alive? In 'The Goatman Murders' (2011), a group of friends on a road trip to Florida experience some car trouble and end up in the Maryland countryside where an axe-wielding murderer, who is half-man, half-goat, begins to kill them one by one. Will there be any survivors?

A tenant farmer’s son had no business daring to dream of a future with an earl’s daughter, but that couldn’t keep Amos Darby from his secret friendship with Charlotte Terrington…until the reality of the Great War sobered youthful dreams. Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen away. His return home doesn’t come with tender reunions, but with the hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a recluse within its walls.

When the future Earl of Harcourt chose Charlotte to be his wife, she knew she was destined for a loveless match. Though her heart had chosen another long ago, she pledges her future even as her husband goes to war. Twenty-five years later, Charlotte remains a war widow who divides her days between her late husband’s declining estate and operating a quaint Coventry bookshop—Eden Books, lovingly named after her grown daughter. And Amos is nothing more than the rival bookseller across the lane.

As war with Hitler looms, Eden is determined to preserve her father’s legacy. So when an American solicitor arrives threatening a lawsuit that could destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to preserve, mother and daughter prepare to fight back. But with devastation wrought by the Luftwaffe’s local blitz terrorizing the skies, battling bookshops—and lost loves, Amos and Charlotte—must put aside their differences and fight together to help Coventry survive.

From deep in the trenches of the Great War to the storied English countryside and the devastating Coventry Blitz of World War II, The British Booksellers explores the unbreakable bonds that unite us through love, loss, and the enduring solace that can be found between the pages of a book.

The NIV Verse Mapping Bible for Girls helps girls 8 and up get real about studying God’s Word. Using a unique system designed by author and ministry leader Kristy Cambron, girls will compare Bible translations, pick out meaningful words, and explore Hebrew or Greek word definitions. Verse mapping doesn’t have to be complicated. Any girl can use this system to see just how real and relevant the Word of God is in her daily life.

A wonderful way for parents and daughters to dig deeper into God’s Word together, the NIV Verse Mapping Bible and NIV Verse Mapping Bible for Girls give readers the Bible study tools they need to better understand Scripture. Girls will find verse maps partially completed with a preselected verse in multiple Bible translations to help them begin their Bible study journey.

Verse mapping involves five steps:

• Choose: Pick a verse and write it out.
• Compare: Record this verse from two or three other Bible translations and underline key words which are the same or different between translations.
• Research: Look up the Hebrew or Greek meaning for the underlined words and record it.
• Consider: Use the senses to uncover new meaning in the verse: What would it look, feel, smell, taste, or sound like to have experienced what’s happening? Read the verses surrounding this verse. Use other study tools to dig even deeper, if you prefer.
• Apply: What is God saying to you? How can you apply this verse to your life today?
