Book Description

"This was a fabulous, fantastic, best ever Christmas book. WOW!" -Advance reader She's a fixer... He's about as broken as they come... Can they learn to turn to God for healing and hope this Christmas? Leah has always been a fixer. That's why she decided to foster a troubled teen. And it's why she's determined to give him the perfect Christmas. It might also be why she feels compelled to reach out to her grinchy, reclusive neighbor Austin. But she'll have to be careful that reaching out doesn't turn into something more--she's been hurt by crossing the line from friendship to romance once, and she's not willing to let it happen again. After losing his leg, his friend, and his faith in Afghanistan, Austin figures he's about as broken as they come. For Austin, Hope Springs is simply a stopping point--a place to rehabilitate his leg, get over the burden of his PTSD, and get back into shape to redeploy. He has no desire to get to know anyone while he's here, least of all the meddlesome--if sweet--woman next door. But when she calls on him to help her make Christmas special for her foster son, something compels him to relent. Soon, his heart belongs to both of them. But what if Austin is too broken for even Leah to fix? Can the two of them learn to turn to God for hope and healing--and maybe even a chance at love--this Christmas? Not Until Christmas Morning is a heartwarming Christian romance filled with faith, love, and the reminder to trust God "even if." *** "Not Until Christmas Morning is such an inspiring and uplifting book that you won't want to wait until Christmas to read it! I loved this story of how God can make something beautiful out of broken people and their painful circumstances. If you've ever been angry with God about the suffering in your life or the lives of loved ones, then this book will give you hope. Highest recommendation!" -Advance reader *** While the books in the Hope Springs series are linked, each features a complete romance about a different couple and can be read in any order.

Book Description

There are two ways to leave the Amish—one is through life and the other through death. When Saloma Miller Furlong’s father dies during her first semester at Smith College, she returns to the Amish community she had left twenty four years earlier to attend his funeral. Her journey home prompts a flood of memories. Now a mother with grown children of her own, Furlong recalls her painful childhood in a family defined by her father’s mental illness, her brother’s brutality, her mother’s frustration, and the austere traditions of the Amish—traditions Furlong struggled to accept for years before making the difficult decision to leave the community. In this personal and moving memoir, Furlong traces the genesis of her desire for freedom and education and chronicles her conflicted quest for independence. Eloquently told, Why I Left the Amish is a revealing portrait of life within—and without—this frequently misunderstood community.

Book Description

Now in paperback, the second novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues down a path that can only end in fire. Hadrian Marlowe is lost. For half a century, he has searched the farther suns for the lost planet of Vorgossos, hoping to discover a way to contact the elusive alien Cielcin. He has pursued false leads for years among the barbarian Normans as captain of a band of mercenaries, but Hadrian remains determined to make peace and bring an end to nearly four hundred years of war. Desperate to find answers, Hadrian must venture beyond the security of the Sollan Empire and among the Extrasolarians who dwell between the stars. There, he will face not only the aliens he has come to offer peace, but contend with creatures that once were human, with traitors in his midst, and with a meeting that will bring him face to face with no less than the oldest enemy of mankind. If he succeeds, he will usher in a peace unlike any in recorded history. If he fails, the galaxy will burn.
