Welcome to the quintessentially quirky town of Goose Creek, Kentucky!

In this exclusive, ebook-only bundle, fans of small-town, cozy fiction meet a colorful cast of characters and join in their day-to-day foibles.

Millie Richardson wants to open a B&B in a rundown Victorian “monstrosity,” as her husband Al points out. Will they succeed in this golden years venture? And will Creek newcomers such as massage therapist Tuesday Love, veterinarian Dr. Susan Jeffries, and handyman Justin Hinkle be run off or welcomed? Join these and other “Creekers” as polydactyl kittens begin appearing all over town, debate rages over the painting of the water tower, Main Street’s fate hangs in the balance, the stakes rise for a Fourth of July baseball game, and even more personal and town-wide drama ensues.

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.

Bearing Fruit: What Happens When God’s People Grow
Author(s): Robby Gallaty
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99       (July 5 Only)

Why are so many Christians stagnant in their faith? Why do we often live as though the gospel stops at the moment of conversion? The good news of Jesus doesn’t stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God’s work in our lives. We often view salvation as the ending point; it’s really the beginning point. The gospel of Jesus doesn’t only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian. In Bearing Fruit, Robby Gallaty walks us through the life of the Christian. Biblical, intentional, and practical, Bearing Fruit points our hearts to the gracious God who called us, justified us, and is now sanctifying us by the work of his Holy Spirit.

One Dress. One Year
Author(s): Bethany Winz & Susanna Foth Aughtmon
Publisher: Baker
Price: $3.99       (Jul 3 – 9)

How can one girl change the world? It all began with a heart for justice and a little black dress. In 2012, sixteen-year-old Bethany Winz decided to make a difference. To raise awareness, she determined to

– wear the same black dress every day for a year to bring attention to the lack of choices slaves have
– come up with new ways to accessorize the dress each day
– use her blog and pictures of her outfits to raise money for agencies helping those who were being trafficked

Her yearlong journey was one of hope, discipline, and sometimes disappointment. She celebrated some successes yet despaired at the depth of the problem. As she found her identity tied to the things she did, Bethany discovered that while she stood for freedom for others, she also struggled to find her own freedom in believing that she was loved just as she was. This moving book shows readers that their voices matter, they can make a difference, and sometimes the smallest gestures have lasting impact.

Free to Serve: Protecting the Religious Freedom of Faith-Based Organizations
Author(s): Stephen V. Monsma
Publisher: Brazos Press
Price: $5.99       (Jul 3 – 9)

Christianity Today Book Award Winner

What do Hobby Lobby, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Wheaton College, World Vision, the Little Sisters of the Poor, and the University of Notre Dame have in common? All are faith-based organizations that have faced pressure to act in ways contrary to their religious beliefs. In this book, two policy experts show how faith-based groups–those active in the educational, healthcare, international aid and development, and social service fields–can defend their ability to follow their religiously based beliefs without having to jettison the very faith and faith-based practices that led them to provide services to those in need. They present a pluralist vision for religious freedom for faith-based organizations of all religious traditions. The book includes case studies that document the challenges faith-based organizations face to freely follow the practices of their religious traditions and analyzes these threats as originating in a common, yet erroneous, set of assumptions and attitudes prevalent in American society. The book also includes responses by diverse voices–an Orthodox Jew, a Roman Catholic, two evangelicals, two Islamic leaders, and an unbeliever who is a religious-freedom advocate–underscoring the importance of religious freedom for faith-based organizations.

Heart Songs for Every Saint

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

Author(s): William J. U. Philip
Publisher: Christian Focus Publications
Price: $2.99       (Aug 1-2)

William Philip encourages readers to use the Psalms as their own heart songs, in any circumstance

Don’t just admire the Psalms, use them. Psalms are Spirit–inspired prayers that help us to pray rightly and truly. They give us words we trust, and treasure as our own heart songs, as we engage with God through times of both darkness and light.

William Philip shows us that in the Psalms we find a profound revelation of God, His nature, and His ways, as well as His relationship with His people. They help us deal with all aspects of our sojourning faith, both individually and in the corporate life of the church. They give us real ‘working models’ for living day by day as Christians.

Heart Songs for Every Saint takes six of these psalms, and shows how they can be prayed in real life situations:
