When she ran away as a young war bride, she was cut off from her family forever . . . or so she believed. Decades later, maybe the only way to move on is to go home.

Ginny Pickering Boyden can’t wait for her last day of work, when she’ll be free to pursue a lifelong ambition through a master gardener apprenticeship. But an unexpected letter brings shocking news: Ginny has inherited her family’s Christmas tree farm, a dream she’d long ago given up.

Facing a past laced with memories and lies she’s tried hard to bury, a furious nephew who thought the land would be his, and a failing farm with a mountain of debt, Ginny returns to New Scrivelsby, Virginia, (more…)

Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning

Author(s): Nancy Pearcey
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99       (Limited time only)

Is secularism a positive force in the modern world? Or does it lead to fragmentation and disintegration? In Saving Leonardo, best-selling award-winning author Nancy Pearcey (Total Truth, coauthor How Now Shall We Live?) makes a compelling case that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing.

Pearcey depicts the revolutionary thinkers and artists, the ideas and events, leading step by step to the unleashing of secular worldviews that undermine human dignity and liberty. She crafts a fresh approach that exposes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film–voices that surround us in the classroom, in the movie theater, and in our living rooms.

A former agnostic, Pearcey offers a persuasive case for historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative. She equips readers to counter the life-denying worldviews that are radically restructuring society and pervading our daily lives. Whether you are a devoted Christian, determined secularist, or don’t know quite where you stand, reading Saving Leonardo will unsettle established views and topple ideological idols. Includes more than 100 art reproductions and illustrations that bring the book’s themes to life.

The Light That Is Given

Author(s): Patricia Dallmann
Publisher: Resource Publications
Price: $2.99       (Ends May 31)

Speaking from the traditional Quaker claim of inward knowledge of Christ the Light, the author shows her accord with early Friends’ writings and the Scriptures they affirmed. Promptings arising from daily readings and personal interactions provide the starting point for many of the book’s essays. Other genres, including interviews and dialogues, also present a perspective that largely has been lost to modern-day forms of the faith. Though not allowing authoritative texts to displace the prerogative of Spirit, the author often cites both Scriptures and seventeenth-century Friends to support her themes with their good sense and authority, and thus she demonstrates the unity of the faith from century to century, from millennium to millennium.

Two sisters. Their family beauty shop in trouble. A revelation that changes everything.

“Kristy Woodson Harvey, Nancy Thayer, and Patti Callahan Henry fans should take note.” –Booklist

A modern twist on Steel Magnolias meets Hello Beautiful with some extra Dolly Parton flair.

The Louise women have squabbled for years, but they’ve always agreed on one thing: Georgia would be the one to make them proud. Years–and failed dreams–later, Georgia only wants to come home to the small Southern town of Whitetail, back to the family salon, June’s Beauty Shop, but to do so would mean dashing their hopes by admitting she’s fallen helplessly short.

When little sister Junie lands the beauty shop in hot water by way of a renovation gone wrong, reliable big (more…)

God and Money

Author(s): John Cortines , Gregory Baumer , et al.
Publisher: Rose Publishing
Price: $2.99       (Ends Jun30)

Most Christians are asking the wrong questions about money—and it’s keeping them stuck.

John Cortines and Gregory Baumer met as Harvard MBA candidates in a men’s Bible study and stopped asking “How much should I give?” and started asking “How much do I need to keep?” With their top-notch education and rising careers, Cortines and Baumer were guaranteed comfort and security for the rest of their lives. However, when their plans for saving and spending collided with God’s purposes for extravagant generosity, they were each compelled to make a life-changing decision that challenges the values held by mainstream America and many Christian commentators. Cortines and Baumer show not only how to radically give but explain how to do so responsibly.
