Was Jamie Steele’s father really a killer?

On the day of her father’s funeral, Jamie is devastated to learn he was the prime suspect in the disappearance of an old girlfriend. Everyone in their small town believes he’s guilty, and only the lack of evidence-the missing woman’s body-kept him out of prison.

Already struggling to reconcile herself with the memories of a dad who never made her feel like she mattered, Jamie is desperate to learn what really happened twenty-five years ago. The more she discovers about Sally Blake’s disappearance, the more convinced she becomes of her father’s guilt.

No matter the outcome, she must find the truth, even if it means destroying what’s left of her memories of her dad.

More Than a Theory: Revealing a Testable Model for Creation

Author(s): Hugh Ross
Publisher: Baker
Price: $3.99       (Aug 1 – Sept 1)

The year 2009 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. Alongside that event, there are many Darwin Day celebrations planned to acknowledge his 200th birthday. Add to these the virulent attacks of the New Atheists, led by Richard Dawkins. Bible-believing Christians will be left increasingly challenged with the theory of evolution as the only model to explain the origins and age of the universe.

In More Than a Theory, Hugh Ross, founder and president of Reasons To Believe, offers discerning readers a comprehensive, testable creation model to consider as an alternative. This fascinating resource will educate readers with a direct response to the recent and well-publicized challenges from aggressive atheists. In doing so, it also reminds the scientific community of what constitutes good science. Furthermore, it will supply Christians with the scientific information they need to defend their convictions that the God of the Bible is the Creator.

Complete with several appendices that put common documents and stories to the same test, More Than a Theory is a bold, brave, and unapologetic work of apologetics that will stir much discussion in both the scientific and religious realms.

Knowing the Holy Spirit
Author(s): Charles Spurgeon
Price: $2.99       (Ends Aug 31)

**A never before released volume from the Prince of Preachers on the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit**

“In our day a biblical understanding of the Spirit’s work is sorely needed. Confusion about who He is and what He does abounds, and too often we proceed through life relying on our power rather than His. Many contemporary works about the Holy Spirit are focused solely on either promoting or refuting the excesses of the extreme charismatic movement, and so there is a need to examine what Scripture has to say on the subject from a different vantage point. Spurgeon’s sermons provide just such a vantage point. They are at once timeless expositions of the truth of God’s Word and timely exhortations for the church to give proper, biblical focus on the person of the Holy Spirit.” —From the Foreword by Clay Kraby

Urban Legends of the Old Testament: 40 Common Misconceptions

Author(s):  David A. Croteau
Publisher: B&H Academic
Price: $4.99       (Aug 8 Only)

Urban Legends of the Old Testament surveys forty of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the Old Testament. These “urban legends” often arise because interpreters neglect a passage’s context, misuse historical background information, or misunderstand the original language of the text.

With a pastoral tone and helpful explanations of where the error originally occurred, authors David A. Croteau and Gary E. Yates tackle legendary biblical misinterpretations of topics like the origin of evil or the purpose of Mosaic food laws, as well as common misconceptions about dinosaurs, or NASA discovering Joshua’s long day. Urban Legends of the Old Testament will help readers avoid missteps in the interpretation of key biblical texts while modeling interpretative techniques that can also be applied to other Old Testament passages.

 

Jesus and the Powers

Author(s): N. T. Wright, Michael F. Bird
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $3.99       (Aug 27 Only)

An urgent call for Christians everywhere to explore the nature of the kingdom amid the political upheaval of our day.

Should Christians be politically withdrawn, avoiding participation in politics to maintain their prophetic voice and to keep from being used as political pawns? Or should Christians be actively involved, seeking to utilize political systems to control the levers of power?

In Jesus and the Powers, N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird call Christians everywhere to discern the nature of Christian witness in fractured political environments. In an age of ascending autocracies, in a time of fear and fragmentation, amid carnage and crises, Jesus is king, and Jesus’s kingdom remains the object of the church’s witness and work.
