  How will she choose, knowing all she must sacrifice? 
   
  Libby has been given a powerful gift: to live one life in 1774 Colonial Williamsburg and the other in 1914 Gilded Age New York City. When she falls asleep in one life, she wakes up in the other. While she's the same person at her core in both times, she's leading two vastly different lives. 
   
  In Colonial Williamsburg, Libby is a public printer for the House of Burgesses and the Royal Governor, trying to provide for her family and support the Patriot cause. The man she loves, Henry Montgomery, has his own secrets. As the revolution draws near, both their lives--and any hope of love--are put in jeopardy. 
   
  Libby's life in 1914 New York is filled with wealth, drawing room conversations, and bachelors. But the only work she cares about--women's suffrage--is discouraged, and her mother is intent on marrying her off to an English marquess. The growing talk of war in Europe only complicates matters. 
   
  But Libby knows she's not destined to live two lives forever. On her twenty-first birthday, she must choose one path and forfeit the other--but how can she choose when she has so much to lose in each life? 
   
  From Gabrielle Meyer, Christy Award-winning and bestselling author, comes a Christian historical romance about the choice between love and duty set during the American Revolution and the eve of WWI in England, with surprising twists and time travel.

  Gospel of the Trinity -...

  Patrick Whitworth

  John’s Gospel is like no other. It has a number of unique features. Its principal question is the identity of Jesus as the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth. It records a growing stand-off and enmity between the Jewish leaders and Jesus, as Jesus provokes their prejudices and challenges their power base.
  
   
  In this exploration of the Gospel, Patrick Whitworth shows that it is the relationship of Jesus with the Father and the Spirit that makes this Gospel so distinctive and unique. In no other Gospel, is that relationship so carefully explored, explained and demonstrated. And as the Gospel moves to its conclusion through the Upper Room discourses and prayer, the full mystery and panoply of these relationships in the Trinity are made clear as the springboard for the mission of the Church. A thought-provoking reflection on the most profound of all the Gospels.

  Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land demonstrates that Christianity is responsible for advancing liberty and equality for all Americans. 
   
   
   
  Scholars and popular authors regularly claim that Christianity, at least orthodox Christianity, has fostered oppression and intolerance. A common narrative is that liberty and equality have been advanced primarily when America's leaders embrace progressive manifestations of religion or reject faith altogether. 
   
   
   
  This book demonstrates that Christianity is responsible for advancing liberty and equality for all citizens. Throughout American history, Christians have been motivated by their faith to create fair and just institutions, fight for political freedom, oppose slavery, and secure religious liberty for all. 
   
   
   
  The New York Times's 1619 Project is only a recent and prominent manifestation of the tendency of journalists, academics, and popular writers to portray American Christianity as a force of oppression and intolerance. Without shying away from the ways in which the Christian faith has been used to defend and even encourage harmful practices, Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land shows that it has far more often been a force for good.

  Broken Signposts - How...

  In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian, today’s leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world. 
   
  N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts,” indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power.  
  If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration—negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being ""broken"" and unattainable.  
  Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

  Riley Kehoe is no stranger to fear. At ten years old, she survived the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami in Thailand. After that traumatic event killed nearly 230,000 people, she began asking herself each day, What do I want to do with this gift of life I've been given? She realized that she could let fear rule over her—or she could choose to have courage. 
   
   
   
  Sharing her remarkable personal story, Riley shows you how small acts of bravery can change your life in ways you can't imagine. They can mean the difference between a life of isolation or one of connection, between playing it safe or taking a bold step forward, between being self-focused or reaching out to help others, between holding a grudge or offering and accepting forgiveness. 
   
   
   
  Filled with dramatic and touching stories—such as when Riley performed CPR on a drowned man and brought him back to life and when she climbed onto the ledge of a bridge to talk a young man out of jumping—this book will inspire you to approach every day with a spirit of courage, possibility, and hope.
