"A welcome and gripping portrait of the unsung courage of a biblical heroine."—Publishers Weekly
A masterful retelling of Tamar's story of redemption, faith, healing, and justice
"As an author of biblical fiction, I know the amount of research and work that goes into crafting a story like this. Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson comprise the perfect team." —Jerry B. Jenkins, THE CHOSEN series
Ravaged by one brother, silenced and betrayed by another, and abandoned by her father King David, Tamar—once beloved daughter of the king of Israel, and healer of the court—suddenly finds herself in exile, fleeing for her life. But the story continues where the scriptures end: a dangerous journey and tenacious pursuit of her true identity and calling brings her full circle, to her rightful place in the kingdom.
Enthusiasts of Biblical Fiction will love Ahoti.

- Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel.

 
- The familiar Bible story ends with Tamar living "desolate" (2 Samuel 13:20), but master storytellers Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson take readers beyond this sorrowful ending to a horizon of hope, thanks to their brilliant adaptation of an ancient anonymous manuscript, purportedly written by Gad the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29), which was discovered in India in the early 18th century. Beyond the biblical text, this manuscript provides a surprising conclusion, which has powerful modern-day significance.

 
- Rich with cultural, biblical, and historic detail, and spiritually compelling, Ahoti will inspire readers to overcome humiliation, pain, betrayal, and bitterness, to embrace a life of purpose.
"Over the course of Everson and Vamosh's novel, Tamar realizes her own strength and self-worth, exploring her womanhood, spirituality, ambitions, and the realities of her world. She also learns to value the wisdom and care of others as she provides care of her own. Tamar's growth over the course of her journey is compelling and insightful, and her story will resonate with readers who enjoy women-focused historical fiction." —Booklist

    Research-based strategies for Christian leaders to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha 
     
    In a world where young people are increasingly disconnected from traditional religious institutions and influenced by social media, church leaders face an urgent challenge: how to authentically engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in meaningful faith conversations. Faithful Futures offers a research-based lifeline with practical tools and strategies designed specifically for connecting with younger generations in today's rapidly changing cultural landscape. 
     
    This actionable resource provides church leaders with 
     
    ● research-based insights - fresh data on Gen Z and Gen Alpha faith patterns, digital behaviors, and cultural values; 
    ● practical ministry strategies - proven methods for building trust and fostering belonging; 
    ● digital-age tools - effective approaches for engaging youth who grew up online and think in micronarratives; 
    ● relationship-building frameworks - how to establish relational authority and create authentic connections with younger generations; and 
    ● ready-to-use resources - exercises, charts, tables, and discussion questions. 
     
    Traditional youth ministry approaches are often outdated and ineffective for digital natives who grew up online. Sociologist Josh Packard advocates a revolutionary approach that emphasizes relational authority, cultivates genuine belonging, and understands faith as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision. 
     
    Drawing on fresh data, innovative practices, and more than twenty years of sociological experience, this comprehensive guide equips religious leaders to understand and engage younger generations authentically. It translates complex concepts into practical strategies, addressing the unique cultural and digital landscapes of today's youth and offering new ways to resonate with their realities.

    One final cry of terror, and suddenly her world shifted violently, until a blinding collision scattered her mind and shook her bones. Then, the pain. The freezing water. And as all sensation drifted away, a hand reached for hers before all faded into darkness. . . .  
     
    In the midst of a fierce storm, a carriage carrying Sir John Mayfield, Lady Marianna Mayfield, and her lady's companion careens off a narrow cliff road, changing their fates forever. When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.  
     
    In this revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of Julie Klassen's acclaimed novel, a woman's startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England. 
     
    Lady Maybe is a clean Regency romance full of mystery, adventure, and a search for identity. This novel will delight fans of the amnesia trope, Julia Quinn, Jane Austen, and Mimi Matthews.
