I Think I Was Murdered

Author(s): Colleen Coble and Rick Acker
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $2.99       (May 12 – 18)

“It’s a high-octane thriller with the grounding touches of Katrina’s Norwegian heritage, the hygge of North Haven, and a very sweet romance between two likable, vulnerable people. Romantic suspense comfort food–just like waffles with cloudberry cream.” –KIRKUS

This timely, high-concept novel delves into the impact of AI on a grieving widow who uses a chatbot to “talk” to her dead husband. What she never expects is the response when she asks it to tell her something she doesn’t know: I think I was murdered.

Reading a novel from bestselling authors Colleen Coble and Rick Acker feels akin to watching a BBC mystery series: by the end of the first scene you can relax, knowing you’re in the capable hands of a story that will have a complex puzzle, character-driven plot, and satisfying reveal.

A Theology of Play

This e-book was chosen by our readers to be placed on sale.

Author(s): Kevin Gushiken
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Price: $2.99       (May 12-13)

God encourages you to experience great joy in following Jesus

God has given humans freedom and permission to play–to fully enjoy life’s moments as he intended, with no ulterior motive. The Christian life without play becomes malformed, and believers can miss aspects of the abundant life Jesus came to give.

In A Theology of Play, Kevin Gushiken builds a case for getting serious about play as a vital element of being a Christian. “Play,” he writes, “is not merely an activity but a way of living.” Gushiken explores play from various biblical and theological lenses:
How an identity grounded in God’s good creation invites us to play

The connection between play and the biblical concept of Sabbath
Why past hurts don’t have to keep us from enjoying the present
Releasing false guilt and shame to find true freedom to Play
How to play in the midst of difficulty and pain

Ultimately, knowing and enjoying God brings freedom and pleasure. A Theology of Play helps Christian believers identify barriers to play in their day-to-day lives and offers faithful guidance in recapturing play within the rhythms of life.

Goliath Must Fall: Winning the Battle Against Your Giants

Author(s): Louie Giglio
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $2.99       (July 2 Only)

How do we overcome those battles in our lives that we always seem to be fighting? Learn to overcome the “giants” in your life—the fears and insecurities that keep you from reaching your full potential.

It’s likely you have a threatening giant in your life: an adversary or stronghold that’s diminishing your ability to live a full and free life. Frozen in the grip of rejection, fear, anger, or addiction, we lose sight of the promise God has for our lives. Demoralized and defeated, we settle for far less than his best.

In Goliath Must Fall, pastor Louie Giglio uncovers a newfound twist in the classic story of David and Goliath. It is not God’s plan for you to live with a giant standing in the middle of your life, demoralizing you day after day. Our freedom and God’s glory are forever interwoven into one story. God does want us to live free. He wants us to recognize that He’s already killed the giant.
