  The Longest Note

  Josh Barnes was just nine when he received an invaluable gift from God: the ability to play guitar to the utmost perfection. He could recognize each note and play every chord to create the most beautiful melodies ever heard. In no time, he became the pride of his hometown, and many believed he was on the road to becoming the youngest and most talented guitarist of his time. 
  However, his ambitions were thwarted when his niece, Elena, was diagnosed with cancer. Losing all hope, the only way he could ensure her survival and his brother's happiness was to make a deal with the Devil. The catch? He had to give up God's gift and never play his guitar again. 
  Thus, the once-celebrated young talent of Comanche had to choose the dreary life of a truck driver, giving up his gift and his dreams so that his niece would get cured. But much to his disappointment, after being cured, Elena turned out to be quite selfish and caused much trouble to their family. 
  The roads ahead of Josh were different from what he had dreamt of, but Josh refused to give up. Will he be able to fulfill all the conditions, or will Elena's temper drive him to break that deal?

  Redemptive Service - Loving Our...

  This book introduces readers to redemptive service, benevolence, and the pursuit of justice. Bringing together expertise in Christian theology and sociology, Lisa Stephenson and Ruthie Wienk write from the conviction that service to others--especially those who are disenfranchised and impoverished--is central to our identity and mission as Christians. 
   
  Redemptive Service articulates the biblical, theological, and sociological foundations of service and explains why it is an important part of true Christian identity. The authors use the parable of the good Samaritan to frame redemptive service as a twofold process. First, true Christian service must emerge from a genuine love of our neighbor, which can only come about when service emerges from a Christian worldview. Second, our vision must be accompanied by intentional and informed action. We must discern and respond to the cries for help that surround us through relief, development, and advocacy work. 
   
  The authors highlight why we should engage in service while providing readers with a framework to use when deciding whom to serve and how to serve well.

  The Way of the Father - Lessons...

  Michael W. Smith, multi-platinum artist, celebrated songwriter, producer, best-selling author, and acclaimed actor, himself a father of five adult children and grandfather of sixteen, calls upon his humble experiences of growing up in a small West Virginia town to share his father’s story. Each chapter identifies a quality and characteristic of his dad that came out of an obedient and sacrificial life, committed to serving his Abba Father, including:  - Finding truth in tragedy  - Loving unconditionally  - Persevering through pain  - Bringing righteousness to the world  - Influencing and inspiring generations  - Discovering identity and approval in Christ  Paul Smith was a familiar face in the crowd at Michael W. Smith’s concerts over the years. A kind and joyful man who would sing, dance, and worship to the singer’s countless number one hits, with his countenance beaming brighter than the spotlights on the stage, Paul would often introduce himself to those nearby and talk about how proud he was of his son. From the artist’s early days as a struggling musician in Nashville to his death in 2015 (the year his son’s album sales surpassed 15 million), Paul was always Michael’s biggest fan.  Michael shares how his dad inspired and encouraged him using biblical principles and virtues. Now, Michael passes on these same truths through stories, testimonies, origins of songs, and personal insights from his family life and thirty-five plus years of touring as a Christian artist. He hopes that by sharing his father’s legacy, readers will come to find that no matter who our earthly parents have been in our lives, our Abba Father will never fail us. The Way of the Father will likewise challenge readers in their faith journeys so they will one day hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have fought the good fight, run the race, and have been found faithful”—just like Paul Smith heard on the day he was called home to be with his Father.
