With the sole care of Jonah, her special needs brother, Amy could never be carefree like other girls her own age. The last thing she needed was Adam, a visitor staying with the bishop next door, to 'help' her with Jonah. Especially when he admitted he knew nothing about Jonah's condition. Gradually, she started to appreciate Adam and even wondered if he could be the man for her. Will Amy feel the same when she learns the real reason Adam is staying with the bishop?Zum Buch
The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction—Arts and Culture ECPA Top Shelf Award Winner For practitioners and fans, jazz expresses the deepest meanings of life. Its rich history and its distinctive elements like improvisation and syncopation unite to create an unrepeatable and inexpressible aesthetic experience. But for others, jazz is an enigma. Might jazz be better appreciated and understood in relation to the Christian faith? In this volume, theologian and jazz pianist William Edgar argues that the music of jazz cannot be properly understood apart from the Christian gospel, which like jazz moves from deep lament to inextinguishable joy. By tracing the development of jazz, placing it within the context of the African American experience, and exploring the work of jazz musicians like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, Edgar argues that jazz deeply resonates with the hope that is ultimately found in the good news of Jesus Christ. Grab a table. The show is about to begin.Zum Buch

THEY’RE EACH OTHER’S BEST HOPE FOR REDEMPTION—AND LOVE Ex-con Seth Zimmerman has spent the last three years making amends by helping the vulnerable in his former Amish community. Lately, this mission includes calling on Tabitha Yoder, whose divorce from her abusive husband has isolated her from the community. Even though she never comes out of her house to talk to him, Seth knows she watches him from the window while he chops wood, clears her driveway, and drops off food. An uneasy friendship is just starting to take hold between them when small gifts begin to appear at Tabitha’s home—gifts that can only be from her ex-husband. Seth might be Tabitha’s only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom from the man whose violent outbursts had almost cost her life. But coming to her rescue might mean Seth ends up behind bars once again. “Shelley Shepard Gray pens a story of love, hate, and forgiveness that will touch readers’ hearts and stay with them long after they finish the last page.
