In The Escape by Lisa Harris, US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn have orders to transport two high-profile prisoners across the country on a private plane. But when the plane experiences engine trouble en route from the Pacific Northwest to Colorado, the pilots crash-land the aircraft deep in the heart of the sprawling Salmon-Challis National Forest. With both pilots and one prisoner dead - and one fugitive on the run - Madison and Jonas must negotiate the rugged and remote backcountry as they track a murderer who is desperate to disappear… and will do anything to stop them.
When was the last time you had an honest, heartfelt, yet kind and productive conversation with someone about depression, mental illness, substance abuse, pornography, premarital sex, racism, divorce, abortion, LGBT issues or politics? Our tendency is either to avoid talking about such volatile topics at all - even with other Christians - or to go on the attack, causing rifts that do nothing to encourage further discussion or growth. If you’re tired of avoiding tough conversations - if you want to be a light in a dark world but you’re not sure how - then Challenging Conversations by Jason Jimenez is the book you’ve been waiting for. With straightforward answers to some of the most challenging moral issues disrupting the church, this book will help you build your confidence with three simple steps to becoming a conversant Christian. Each chapter beings with a true story, clarifies misconceptions and misunderstandings about the subject, and equips you to build rapport, ask the right questions, find points of agreement, and take the next fruitful step in the relationship. Because even if we disagree on a moral issue, that shouldn’t make us mortal enemies.

Are you a Martha who feels guilty for not being a Mary? Do you want to sit at Jesus’ feet as Mary did - but you feel the need to get things done? In Made Like Martha, Katie M. Reid invites you to exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom without abandoning your doer’s heart in the process. Through her own story and rich biblical illustrations, Katie reminds you that it’s not important whether you sit and listen or stand and work. What matters is that your spiritual posture is one of a beloved daughter who knows she doesn’t need to earn God’s love. Your desire to get things done is not something to temper but something to embrace as you serve from a place of strength and peace - knowing Christ already did His most important work for you on the cross. With “It Is Finished” activities at the end of each chapter and a five-week Bible study included, this book will help you find rest from striving even as you celebrate your God-given design to “do”.
