  Buried underneath are truths bent on keeping them apart. . . .  
   
  In 1889 Victorian England, Eva Inman is haunted by guilt over her parents' deaths while struggling to care for her blind sister and manage her family's crumbling estate. With the tax deadline looming, Eva's situation looks dire until an ancient silver ring is unearthed on the property. Despite superstitions warning against disturbing the supposedly cursed acres, Eva's need for funds ignites her curiosity about the potential of finding more buried relics. 
   
  Cambridge professor Bram Webb must prove a legendary Christian Roman settlement exists, or he'll risk exposing his uncle's deteriorating memory and they'll both lose their positions. Then Eva steps into his office with the prospect of an archaeological dig that might lead to the very evidence Bram requires--provided he and Eva can set aside painful memories of a time they would rather forget. As the dig forces the two to confront their pasts, the work becomes fraught with challenges that threaten Eva's and Bram's hopes, as well as the growing attraction between them.

  Pro-Life Advocate Scott Klusendorf Answers the Important Question: "What Are the Unborn?" 
  Pro-life Christians, take heart: the pro-life message can compete in the marketplace of ideas if Christians properly understand and articulate that message. In light of the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, too many Christians do not understand the essential truths of the pro-life position, making it difficult for them to articulate a biblical worldview on issues like abortion, cloning, and embryo research.
  This second edition of The Case for Life, now with added content, provides intellectual grounding for the pro-life convictions that most evangelicals hold. Author Scott Klusendorf simplifies the debate—the sanctity of life is not a morally complex issue. The debate turns on one key question: What is the unborn? In this timely ebook, Klusendorf teaches readers what the role of the pro-life Christian should be and how to lovingly and winsomely engage in questions and objections.
  
  - Timely: Covers current hot-button topics related to abortion, cloning, and embryo research
  - Ideal for Christians or Anyone Curious about the Pro-Life Movement: Written for those looking to learn more about the pro-life argument and why it matters 
  - Logically Grounded: Klusendorf explains the core of the argument and how to engage in a thoughtful and loving way
  - Additional Content: Includes two new chapters on how to organize material for a pro-life talk and what it means to be pro-life

  Whether at home or abroad, communicating with people of other cultures is difficult. It requires new ways of thinking and interpreting the world. When conflict arises, as it often does, the issues become even more confusing. Without a good understanding of how different cultures handle conflict, our best intentions may only make matters worse.
  With a particular focus on Asian and Hispanic cultures (at home and around the world) and on African culture, Duane Elmer walks readers through various types of conflict and shows how they can be handled effectively and appropriately. Elmer gives numerous stories and examples from his experience and from others' to show how handling conflict well builds solid relationships.

  Between Preachers - You Can Grow...

  When a preacher stays a long time, the church usually doesn't like the next preacher. I volunteer to be the next preacher they don't like. During the six to eighteen months Gail and I work with them, they have time to grieve their losses and select their next preacher wisely. This book describes how we do it. 
  One helpful approach in many congregations is the services of an intentional interim preacher. An intentional interim is prepared by study and experience in transition dynamics and Biblical principles. Leaving Egypt (previous state), wandering through the wilderness with complaining, wishing to make it like it used to be, and eventually entering the promised land where God's people can enjoy another season of growth in carrying out the Great Commission, he understands he is temporary. He signs a contract. He will not consider or be considered as the next preacher of this congregation. He does what he promised. 
  Other items in the book are practical principles for churches and preachers looking for a good fit and samples of interviews, contracts, and training for the process.
