  As Norah King surveys her family land in Iowa in 1880, she is acutely aware that it is all she has left, and she will do everything in her power to save it--even if that means marrying a man she hardly knows. Days before her wedding, Norah discovers an injured man on her property. Her sense of duty compels her to take him in and nurse him back to health. Little does she realize just how much this act of kindness will complicate her life and threaten the future she's planned. 
   
  Norah's care does more than aid Quincy Barnes's recovery--it awakens his heart to possibilities. Penniless and homeless, he knows the most honorable thing he can do is head on down the road and leave Norah to marry her intended. But walking away from the first person to believe in him proves much harder than he imagined. 
   
  Rachel Fordham invites you to experience the strength and beauty of love forged in the crucible of hardship in this heartwarming story.

  We want the thousands of hours we will work over our lifetime to matter. But how do we know they're really significant? How do we go from being defined by what we do to having our work become an expression of who we are?
  There is not a quick fix but a progressive solution: it begins with surrendering our whole lives and then every moment of our lives to God. In The Spiritual Art of Business, "corporate mystic" Barry Rowan invites us to be transformed by God that he might transform the world through us as we begin to see our work as an extension of our faith. He says, "We don't derive meaning from our work; we bring meaning to our work." Relating his extensive past in high-ranking executive roles, Rowan beckons us into a connection with God that will infuse our lives, our offices, and our world with meaning.
  With forty short chapters, this is not just a book to be read but instead is an invitation into an experience with God. Here's an opportunity to ponder new perspectives and see business as a chance to serve God by contributing to a better society.

  The Emotional Jesus will reveal what it looks like for God to live as man.  He left His Godly attributes in Heaven and came to earth to live as a human being.  Have you ever rehearsed the stories you have known about Jesus from the Bible and then wondered, "What would He do if He was in my shoes?"  You may be surprised at what you discover.  How would Jesus respond if He felt completely and totally hopeless, especially when life didn't turn out the way it was "supposed to"?  Was He ever so disgusted that it made Him sick to His stomach?  What if He was overcome by sadness or overwhelmed by shame?  What would He have done?  Join me as we discover how He reacted, responded and stayed true to His heart while facing the difficulties of life.

  In a world experiencing turbulent change, we need people who are resilient, kind, open, generous, and brave. How do we become those people? 
   
  In Fully Alive, now available in paperback, popular podcaster Elizabeth Oldfield uses the seven deadly sins as a framework to explore questions such as: 
   
  ● How can I move from sloth to attention to make the most of my short life and stop getting distracted by trivialities? 
  ● Is it possible to move from wrath to peacemaking and become a depolarizing person in an age of outrage and division? 
  ● What might it look like to move from gluttony to awe, finding transcendence in expansive, life-giving ways--not in a tub of ice cream or a bottle of wine? 
  ● How can I move from pride to connection, overcoming the disconnection that keeps me from intimacy, community, and ultimately the divine? 
   
  Oldfield shows why, in a world heavy on judgment, she still finds the concept of sin liberating--and how, to her surprise, she keeps finding in her Christian faith ways to feel fully alive.

  "LET US MAKE MAN ACCORDING TO OUR IMAGE" — Why Does Satan Hate Mankind? – with Robert Mandelbaum"The ancient pseudepigraphal text of "The Life of Adam and Eve" reveals that Satan was hurled out of Heaven for refusing to worship God's Image, thus igniting the Devil's unrelenting hostilities and hatred of God's crowning creation: Humans! Eschatologist Robert Mandelbaum skillfully exposes the correlation and cataclysmic battle royale between the Image of God and the Last Days' image of the Antichrist! Supported by strong, Scriptural circumstantial evidence, discover mankind's monumental importance to the triumphant fulfillment of God's Plan for the world and the universe!Scriptures referred to in this interview:Hebrews 1:16; 1Cor.6:1-3; Gen.1:26-27; Exo.20:2-5; Mat.25:34-40; 1Cor.6:19; 1Cor.15:49; 1John 3:2Excerpt read from "The Life of Adam and Eve". Chapters X1-XIIAnd she (Eve) cried out and said: 'Woe unto thee, thou devil. Why dost thou attack us for no cause? What hast thou to do with us? What have we done to thee for thou pursuest us with craft? Or why doth thy malice assail us? Have we taken away thy glory and caused thee to be without honour? Why dost thou harry us, thou enemy (and persecute us) to the death in wickedness and envy'?And with a heavy sigh, the devil spake: 'O Adam! all my hostility, envy, and sorrow is for thee, since it is for thee that I have been expelled from my glory, which I possessed in the heavens in the midst of the angels and for thee was I cast out in the earth.' Adam answered, 'What dost thou tell me? What have I done to thee or what is my fault against thee? Seeing that thou hast received no harm or injury from us, why dost thou pursue us'? The devil replied, 'Adam, what dost thou tell me? It is for thy sake that I have been hurled from that place. When thou wast formed. I was hurled out of the presence of God and banished from the company of the angels. When God blew into thee the breath of life and thy face and likeness was made in the image of God, Michael also brought thee and made (us) worship thee in the sight of God; and God the Lord spake: Here is Adam. I have made thee in our image and likeness.' And Michael went out and called all the angels saying: 'Worship the image of God as the Lord God hath commanded.' And Michael himself worshipped first; then he called me and said: 'Worship the image of God. the Lord.' And I answered, 'I have no (need) to worship Adam.' And since Michael kept urging me to worship, I said to him, 'Why dost thou urge me? I will not worship an inferior and younger being (than I). I am his senior in the Creation, before he was made was I already made. It is his duty to worship me.' When the angels, who were under me, heard this, they refused to worship him. And Michael saith, 'Worship the image of God, but if thou wilt not worship him, the Lord God will be wrath with thee.' And I said, 'If He be wrath with me, I will set my seat above the stars of heaven and will be like the Highest.' And God the Lord was wrath with me and banished me and my angels from our glory; and on thy account were we expelled from our abodes into this world and hurled on the earth. And straightway we were overcome with grief, since we had been spoiled of so great glory. And we were grieved when we saw thee in such joy and luxury. And with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled through her (doing) from thy joy and luxury, as I have been driven out of my glory.

  2025 scientists plan to time-travel to Eden to warn Adam and Eve and thus prevent the fall, putting an end to all evil and disease in the world. But they can only travel 200 years, more or less, at a time. 
  Having gained the needed financial support from wealthy financier, Mark Lewis, the scientists manage to build the first time machine in which three of them take off on their imposing mission. 
  They visit six  different historical time periods including: 
  *The California Gold Rush of 1849 
  *Colonial Philadelphia of 1775 
  *The Renaissance 
  *Legendary Camelot 
  Each historical time period they visit points in some way to the true answer they are seeking. But they ignore the obvious and go on blindly with their mission. 
  At one point, they are pulled forward unexpectedly to their future where robots serve and are forced to fight in a senseless war (WWIII).  Will they escape?  And will they ever come to learn the true answer to the problem of sin and evil in the world?
