Sinopse

Two Sisters. One Single Event. A Family Changed Forever. 
 
At the turn of the twentieth century, sisters Emmy and Callie Bullock are living a privileged life as the only daughters of a wealthy Alabama cotton farmer when their well-ordered household gets turned upside down by the arrival of Lily McGee. Arrestingly beautiful, Lily quickly--and innocently--draws the wrong kind of attention. Meanwhile, Callie meets a man who offers her the freedom to abandon social constraints and discover her truest self. 
 
After Lily has a baby, Callie witnesses something she was never meant to see--or did she? Her memory is a haze, just an image in her mind of Emmy standing on a darkened riverbank and cradling Lily's missing baby girl. Only when the sisters are separated does the truth slowly come to light through their letters--including a revelation that will shape the rest of Callie's life. 
 
Bestselling author Valerie Fraser Luesse weaves a complex and suspenseful tale dripping with intrigue, romance, and Southern charm.

"A nuanced and heartwarming tale of sisterly love and community."--Library Journal

    St. Malachy O'Moore (Máel Máedóc Ua Morgair) was a 12th-century Irish bishop and abbot and, for a time, Primate of Ireland. He was a champion of Church reform in Ireland, in terms of standardizing sacramental rites according to the Roman usage, and a friend of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, dying in the latter's hands.These Prophecies of St. Malachy, discovered in 1590 and attributed to St. Malachy, are of uncertain origin. What is known is that they provide a significant account of popes from 1140 through 1590, and reasonable predictions on through to our own day. Many have claimed the last entries to refer to the popes of our own times: John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. Whatever the case may be, God only knows. We do know that St. Malachy was a holy bishop; hopefully these prophecies above all lead you to greater veneration of him, who will lead  you to Christ.

    Revelation | The End of Time and the Eternal King is a verse-by-verse expositional study of the book of Revelation intended to make perhaps the most difficult and controversial book of the Bible accessible to the average reader. 
    This is an eight-week study that will: 
    Help you understand and apply the book of Revelation to your personal life so you can receive its promised blessing. 
    Break down the four major interpretive approaches to reading and understanding Revelation. 
    Clarify the symbolism of Revelation and help you see that this book is relevant to your life today. 
    Challenge you to live a faithful life of dedication to the coming Lord Jesus in the face of temptation, suffering, and difficulty. 
    Listen to Revelation | The End of Time and the Eternal King today, learn what each verse reveals, and be filled with peace and hope, not just for the future, but for your life right here in the present. 
    Note to the listener: This study does not promote one single viewpoint of Revelation. Instead, it presents the major viewpoints side by side, and invites the reader to thoughtfully engage with Scripture and consider the different ways this important book has been understood throughout church history.
