Summary

Her next move just might be her last 
 
No sooner has Alexis Stone been sworn in as the interim chief deputy for Russell County, Tennessee, than a serial killer dubbed the Queen's Gambit Killer strikes again--this time in her hometown. Pearl Springs is just supposed to be a temporary stop along the way to Alex's real dream: becoming the first female police chief of Chattanooga. But the killer's calling card--a white pawn and a note with a chess move printed on it--cannot be ignored. 
 
Pearl Springs chief of police Nathan Landry can't believe that his high school sweetheart Alexis (he refuses to call her Alex) is back in town, and he can't help wanting to protect the woman he never stopped loving. But as the danger mounts and the killer closes in, can Nathan come through on the promise he makes to himself to bring a killer to justice before it's too late? 
 
"Plenty of action and interesting details about the dark web and police procedure keeps this thriller with light Christian messaging moving."--Booklist  
 
"Balancing a slow-burning romance with a twisty mystery, this will keep Bradley's fans hooked until the final page."--Publishers Weekly

    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, tools, 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    Traditional youth ministry approaches are often outdated and ineffective for digital natives who grew up online.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. 
     
    Whether you're a senior pastor, youth minister, church staff member, or volunteer leader, this book provides the research-backed tools you need to build meaningful relationships with Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

    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.
