When Libby’s husband Greg fails to return from a two-week canoe trip to the Canadian wilderness, the authorities soon write off his disappearance as an unhappy husband’s escape from an empty marriage and unrewarding career. Their marriage might have survived if their daughter Lacey hadn’t died…and if Greg hadn’t been responsible. Libby enlists the aid of her wilderness savvy father-in-law and her faith-walking best friend to help her search for clues to her husband’s disappearance…if for no other reason than to free her to move on. What the trio discovers in the search upends Libby’s presumptions about her husband and rearranges her faith.

But how can a young slave and a peasant bring sworn enemies of half a millennium together?
Recess With Jesus: Games We Play With God by Aidan Rogers
217 pages, 3 of 3 reviews are 4 or 5-star, Lending Enabled
Games are not a new dynamic between man and God. From the first round of Hide and Seek in the Garden, we have been playing with Him. Thousands of years later, our game is the same.
Recess with Jesus invites us to experience God’s willingness to meet us here and play alongside us with a new strategy, a new set of rules, and a victory that maybe doesn’t count for much on this playground but promises a greater prize.
This is not a book of answers. This is not a step-by-step guide to God and faith. This is not one of those books that asks us to step into David’s or Martha’s or Jonah’s shoes and attempt to find their God just the way they experienced Him. God wants to meet us in our own shoes – or barefoot in the grass.
He wants us to look around our playground and understand the offense of our defense of our games. We were never meant to play this way. We play to win, but for all our winning, we lose.
The familiarity of the playground opens us to a new way of looking at our relationship with Christ by starting at a place we all know, love, and fondly remember before pushing us deeper into discipleship. Each chapter is framed by Scripture and perfect for a quick read…but never a quick think. The powerful metaphor and thought-provoking twists of word in each familiar playground game catch us off-guard and stir us toward something more.

151 pages, 9 of 9 reviews are 4 or 5-star, Lending Enabled
This delightful true story, written in the first person by the spouse of the title character, will have readers reliving their own pasts. Baby boomers will surely savor references to the pop culture, history, and politics of their collective youth as they get caught up in the personal lives of the author and his spouse. In an afternoon you will learn how a speeding ticket and an interest in four-part a cappella harmony intersected with the Cold War to start the protagonists on the road to holy matrimony.
Along the way, you will be charmed by the author’s ability to engage you in this tale. From chance encounters with President Jimmy Carter and the late Pope John Paul II to a longshoremen’s strike in Rouen, France, the plot meanders through the late 1970s as it entices you into wanting to know what happens next. The book is part adventure, part travelogue, part nostalgia, and part love story. Be prepared to be thoroughly entertained in this initial offering by a gifted storyteller. We suspect it will not be his last.

Christ Our Healer by Peter Smythe
180 pages, 3 of 3 reviews are 5-star, Lending Enabled
Many Christians suffer from sickness through erroneous thinking that it’s God’s will for them to be sick or that healing belonged only to the early church. Isaiah, the prophet, was shown the spiritual side of the crucifixion and saw that Jesus not only bore our sins, he bore our sicknesses, too. This is the first book to come out in years that deals directly with the spiritual origin of sickness and disease and how the believer can stand in victory through Christ’s finished work of redemption. It is structured to give the believer a thorough understanding of healing in redemption and provide the foundation for him to pray the prayer of faith for healing.
Revive (Renewing Life Through Radical Repentance) by Daniel Parkins
80 pages, no reviews, Lending Enabled
It’s the place where death is conquered and life is renewed . . .
it’s where sin and grace collide and redemption is certain . . .
it’s the moment where God’s glory is fully revealed . . .
it’s at the Cross where radical repentance transforms all who come to it.
In our efforts to obtain what only God can give and control what only He can, we allow sin, big or small, to so easily entrap us. We have missed the power of the gospel as we fail to understand its supernatural power to transform us from the inside out. Out of fear, we’d rather run to our sins than turn to God, and we miss out on the miraculous while we cling to the mundane.
REVIVE will reveal the unseen battle that rages within your soul. You’ll discover that it’s not that the Christian life is too difficult, it’s that it’s remarkably simple . . . it’s turning to face God and surrendering every moment thereafter. No matter where you are in your journey of faith, you’ll more adequately understand the transforming power of God that is unleashed through radical repentance. And as you fully surrender your heart, God will fully reveal His.

Double Vision – The Insights of Isaiah by Brian Johnston
70 pages, no reviews, Lending Enabled
The Old Testament book of Isaiah can be difficult to understand.
Bible teacher, missionary and radio broadcaster, Brian Johnston, provides the key to open up Isaiah’s message by explaining the “double vision” model that God used in speaking through the prophet.
While what much of what Isaiah said had a current application to the people he was speaking to, there was usually a double meaning which either spoke of the coming of Jesus Christ hundreds of years later, or of events which are still yet in our future.
This short e-booklet is bound to leave you more aware of, and appreciating more fully, the sovereignity of God and his gracious dealings with both Israel and followers of Jesus Christ.
