In The Inn at Ocean’s Edge by Colleen Coble, Claire Dellamare disappeared from her own fourth birthday party at the Hotel Tourmaline on the island of Folly Shoals, Maine in 1989. She showed up a year later at the same hotel, with a note pinned to her dress but no explanation. Nobody knows where Claire spent that year - and until now, Claire didn’t know she had ever been missing. But when Claire returns to the Hotel Tourmaline for a business meeting with her CEO father, disturbing memories begin to surface… despite her parents’ best efforts to keep them forgotten. Luke Rocco lost his mother under equally mysterious circumstances at the same time Claire disappeared. After a chance encounter reveals the unlikely link between them, Claire and Luke set out together to uncover the truth about what happened that fateful year. With flashbacks swimming just beneath her consciousness and a murderer threatening her safety, Claire’s very life depends on unscrambling her past… even if her family refuses to acknowledge it. Someone - maybe everyone - is hiding something from Claire Dellamare, and it will cost her everything to drag the truth out into the light.

Shame and confusion have kept Mallory Davis from her home for the last fifteen years in Mermaid Moon by Colleen Coble. But when her dad mysteriously dies on his mail boat route, she doesn’t have any choice but to go back to Mermaid Point. Mallory believes her father was murdered, and her childhood sweetheart Kevin O’Connor confirms her suspicions. But Kevin is wary of helping Mallory in her search. She broke his heart and left without a word years ago. When Mallory begins receiving threats on her own life and her beloved teenage daughter, their search intensifies. There’s a tangled web within the supposed murder, and it involves much more than what meets the eye. As answers begin to fall into place, Mallory realizes her search is about more than finding her fathers’ killer - it is also about finding herself again, and possibly about healing what was broken so long ago with Kevin. She just has to stay alive long enough to put all the pieces together.

A beautiful woman stands by the side of the road, barefoot and bleeding, a child in her arms. Someone just tried to kill her, but she wouldn’t even recognize him if she saw his face. She doesn’t even remember her own name. A suburban cop surveys a kitchen in disarray - a woman and child missing, a chilling note. This crime scene is unlike any he has ever seen. The man who calls himself Gideon waits and plans. He sees himself as a destroyer of evil, one who rids the world of abominations. He has already killed five, and he will kill again. And somewhere in the wilderness, in a secret geocache near where the wild swans gather, lies the unspeakable clue that links them all together. Michigan’s rugged and beautiful Upper Peninsula is the setting for Haven of Swans by Colleen Coble, an absorbing tale about love and loss, beauty and terror, grievous sins and second chances.

For Havyn Powell, growing up on her grandfather’s dairy outside the 1904 gold-rush boomtown of Nome, Alaska, offered all she needed. She had the love of her mother, two sisters, and grandfather. But now Havyn realizes the stability of her life may soon vanish. Havyn is determined to find a way to keep the family together, but her grandfather’s health is declining and everyone seems to be holding secrets from one another, including the handsome, dark-haired stranger who recently arrived. When tragedy strikes, Havyn and her sisters plan to use their beautiful voices and musical talents to perform and earn money at a local roadhouse. They’re an immediate hit, and it looks like the plan will save their family. But will they realize the peril before it’s too late? Will the secrets that have been hidden for so long prove to destroy their happiness? Find out in Forever Hidden by Tracie Peterson & Kimberley Woodhouse.

As goes the man, so goes the family, the church, the nation. Every statistic, from porn to paternity to divorce to detention rates, shouts with astounding clarity: “Men are in trouble!” Men are struggling not to slip into superficial, self-indulgent secularism when so many on every side are running in that direction. The need is urgent and the time is now for real revival in the hearts of men. If you are seeking a path forward - an action to get some traction in a better direction - Act Like Men by James MacDonald is that path. Men want to be challenged and stretched, tested to their limits of who we are. That’s how God designed us. If you know you’re not the man God created you to be, if your relationship with God is far from transforming your life, if you don’t even have a clue what the next steps should look like - it’s time for you to take a step toward living out God’s calling.

In Drawing Fire by Janice Cantore, a possible serial killer may be stalking elderly women in Long Beach, California. Homicide detective Abby Hart’s best lead is Luke Murphy, a irritating private investigator who saw a suspect flee the scene of the latest homicide. But as she works with the handsome PI to unravel the serial killer case, she must also confront the spark between them. When Abby discovers that the most recent victim is related to the governor, she’s anxious to talk to him about a cold case that’s personal to her, one Luke is interested in as well. As she learns more about the restaurant fire that took her parents’ lives years ago, Abby discovers why Luke is so invested in finding the ones responsible. With everyone else telling her to walk away from the case, Abby and Luke search for evidence buried beneath years of deceit… and soon realize that someone will do anything to make sure this case remains cold.

After months of investigating the brutal homicide of a young girl, Detective Abby Hart finally has the evidence she needs. But when the arrest goes terribly wrong, Abby begins to doubt her future as a police officer. As she wrestles with conflicting emotions, old questions about the fire that took her parents’ lives come back to haunt her. “There is proof” - PI Luke Murphy can’t stop thinking about what Abby’s former partner, Asa Foster, mumbled just before he died. When Luke uncovers a clue to the murder of Abby’s parents and his own uncle, he’s reluctant to tell Abby, despite his growing feelings for the beautiful detective. A decade-old abduction case brings Luke and Abby together, but will his secret tear them apart? Find out in Burning Proof by Janice Cantore.

In Crisis Shot by Janice Cantore, Tess O’Rourke dreams of becoming the first female chief of police in Long Beach, California. As commander of the East Division, she is well on her way… until the night she responds to a call and fatally shoots an unarmed teenager. Despite being cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury, Tess is so hounded by the public that she takes a job in Oregon to escape the bad press. Winning over the residents of Rogue’s Hollow might be more difficult than adjusting to her new role as police chief in the small, backwater town. Especially when her closest friend, the pastor’s wife, goes missing and the woman’s cousin is found shot. Tess finds an ally in Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Logan, but as they track down Rogue’s Hollow’s first murderer, she worries that she’s breaking one of her rules and getting too close to him.

Bible prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock is noticing a dangerous trend: the nation of Iran remains in the newspaper headlines for all the wrong reasons. In Showdown with Iran, he reveals why this rogue nation is so dangerous and how that connects to what the Bible says about what’s to come while encouraging readers to remain alert, aware, and hopeful as the end times near. He tackles questions such as: Does Iran still plan to wipe Israel off the map? What does this mean for the future of the Middle East? Where does Iran stand in Bible prophecy? What will be the role of the United States in Bible prophecy? The warning of what will happen is not new. In the book of Ezekiel, the Bible records a multitude of predictions about the region then known as Persia as well as about the nation of Israel. These ancient prophecies foretell an end time rise of Iran, as well as Turkey. But are the prophecies still unfulfilled today?

What is the secret to your relational happiness and meaning? You want a life that is real and meaningful - we all do.

They’ve discovered that what the world promises isn’t that fulfilling, but neither is their experience in the church. That’s about to change. Sarah, Ryan, and others in their youth group are about to embrace a certain truth about God that will forever change their lives. That is until Ratsbane, a hideous demon from hell, marshals his forces to deceive them into believing a lie - a lie that will keep that truth forever hidden.

But when Lucas Brannen, Kat’s best friend, signs her up for a reality TV bake-off on Cupcake Combat, everything Kat ever wanted is suddenly dangled in front of her: creative license as a baker, recognition as a visionary, and a job at a famous bakery in New York.

Meet Denver, raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana until he escaped the “man” in the 1960’s by hopping a train. Non-trusting, uneducated, and violent, he spent another 18 years on the streets of Dallas and Fort Worth. Meet Ron Hall, a self-made millionaire in the world of high priced art deals -- concerned with fast cars, beautiful women, and fancy clothes. And the woman who changed their lives, Miss Debbie. She helped the homeless and gave of herself to all of God’s people and had a way of knowing how to listen and helping others talk and be found – until cancer strikes. Same Kind of Different as Me is a tale told in two unique voices – Ron Hall & Denver Moore – weaving two completely different life experiences into one common journey where both men learn that whether they are rich, or poor, or something in between, this earth is not our final resting place. Bonus material in this special movie edition include a new epilogue with updates on the authors since the release of the original book, how it got made, and the incredible experiences while filming in Jackson, MS, as well as photos from the movie set.

Hattie McNair chronicles the adventures of the residents of the FairAcres retirement community while her own writing career gains momentum in Over The Hill: Notes from the Pasture by Effie Leland Wilder.

When Loni Ford is informed that she has inherited property in the Shetland Islands, she laughs. She wants nothing more than to sell it and be done with it. But when she arrives in the North Sea enclave, she is stunned to find that The Cottage (by Michael Phillips) is not at all what she expected - nor is David Tulloch, the man most of the islanders believe to be the rightful heir. The locals could hardly be more surprised that the heir is a woman, let alone an American. Loni, in turn, finds the islanders quaint and a bit behind the times. Expecting David to be as provincial as the rest of his clan, she discovers that there is far more to the man that meets the eye. And there is something about the peaceful atmosphere of the place - and the character of its most prominent citizen - that soon gets under her skin. Beneath the peaceful surface, however, change is threatening the island of Whales Reef. David’s cousin Hardy Tulloch, whose claim to the inheritance now in Loni’s hands was backed by oil investors, has not been deterred in his aim to control the island. But his co-conspirators have plans of their own, plans that put Loni’s very life in danger.

Loni Ford’s unexpected inheritance of substantial real estate - not to mention a title - in the Shetland Islands has caused more than a stir in the quiet fishing hamlet of Whales Reef. How can life ever be the same with an outsider - and a woman at that - laying such a pivotal role in the life of this traditional community? But it isn’t just the locals who have deep misgivings about the current situation. Loni herself never imagined this in her wildest dreams and wonders whether she’s cut out for it. Loni would hardly let herself acknowledge that she’s falling in love - with Whales Reef, with its hardy people, and with local chieftain David Tulloch, whose inheritance she has usurped, at least in the eyes of some. Or has she merely been seduced by the simple, peaceful way of life that exists here? Yet life in Whales Reef is rarely without drama. Deep rifts exist between certain lifelong neighbors, and when a dead body is discovered, suspicion is cast in the direction of the Tulloch family. How Loni and David face up to this challenge will profoundly shape their relationship, as well as the future of the island in The Legacy by Michael Phillips.

On a wintry October night, a mysterious letter was left at the base of the angel monument which overlooks the grave of Andrea Parkin, the only child of David and MaryAne Parkin. In The Letter, the unforgettable conclusion to the Christmas Box collection, Richard Paul Evans writes “I discovered the letter in the winter of 1949 pressed between the pages of a diary that belonged to the child’s father, and at first glace, I regarded it as of little consequence. It was only after I had read the diary that I learned of the letter’s great significance and the events it set in motion.” It is within the final pages of this beautiful novel that David and MaryAne Parkin face love’s greatest challenge. And in finding love’s truest meaning, they learn the lessons that are echoed throughout the Christmas Box story.

Thirty years in the making, Audacious is a deep dive into the message that has compelled Beth Moore to serve women around the globe. Glancing over the years of ministry behind her and strengthening her resolve to the call before her, she came to the realization that her vision for women was incomplete. It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. Beth Moore identifies that missing link by digging through Scripture, unearthing life experiences, and spotlighting a turning point with the capacity to infuse any life with holy passion and purpose. What was missing? Well, lets just say it’s audacious and it’s for all of us. And it’s the path to the life you were born to live.

We all have those days: when small problems become crises, when doubt begins to overwhelm faith, when exhaustion hits and depression colors the world black. Fact is, the daily grind of life is not going away! Since we cannot escape it, we must find a way to live beyond it. And the book of Psalms holds the answers, offering words of surpassing strength and comfort for those difficult and demanding times. In Living the Psalms, Charles R. Swindoll explores such pressing themes as fear of the unknown, discouragement and worry, how to handle difficult people, and what to do when God is silent. Through twenty six engaging weeks in the Word, one of Christianity’s foremost pastors will guide you not just to read the Psalms but to live them - reminding you of a grace that never fails and a God who is constantly at work to transform the daily grind into a daily miracle.

In Choose Joy, acclaimed author and Christian leader Kay Warren shares the path to experiencing soul-satisfying joy no matter what you’re going through. Joy is deeper than happiness, lasts longer than excitement, and it is more satisfying than pleasure and thrills. Joy is richer. Fuller. And it’s far more accessible than you’ve thought. Joy comes from God… and it can be yours!
