Sometimes dying with the truth is better than living with a lie.
After a car accident puts Shauna McAllister in a coma and wipes out six
months of her memory, she returns to her childhood home to recover, but
her arrival is fraught with confusion. Her estranged father, a senator
bidding on the White House, and her abusive stepmother blame Shauna for
the tragedy, which has left her beloved brother severely brain damaged.
Distribution Rights:North
America plus CBA-only in
GB, Aust, and S. Africa
Leaning on Wayne Spade, a forgotten but hopeful lover who stays by her
side, Shauna tries to sort out what happened that night by jarring her
memory to life. Instead, she acquires a mysterious mental ability that will
either lead her to truth or get her killed by the people trying to hide it. In
this blind game of cat and mouse that stares even the darkest memories in
the face, Shauna is sure of only one thing: if she remembers, she dies.

Rare-books dealer August Adams is enmeshed in the mystery
surrounding another book—this time The Gospels of Henry the Lion.
In 1983, a mysterious book reappeared. The book was The Gospels of
Henry the Lion. Created in 1188, the book was a chronicle of Henry's
aspirations to become the most powerful ruler in the world. But the book
was only a part of the mystery. Henry was also the originator of the
legenary Guelph Treasure—a collection of history's most significant
religious relics. Legend said that The Gospels of Henry the Lion held the
key to finding them.
Now it's up to August, April, and Charlie to find out if the legend is true.
Not that they don't have problems of their own. April has a meddlesome
boyfriend. Charlie has a schoolyard bully on his back. And August's
long-estranged father has suddenly decided to enter his life again. What
they discover about the treasure—and themselves—will change their lives
forever.

"Fireproof doesn't mean that fire will never come, but that when it
does you'll be able to withstand it."
At work, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the firefighter's adage: Never leave your
partner behind. But he follows his own rules at home. After seven years, he
and his wife have drifted so far apart that Catherine wishes she had never
married. As divorce looms, Caleb's father challenges him to commit to a
40-day experiment he calls "The Love Dare." Caleb isn't sure it's worth the
effort, but agrees. In frustration he finally asks his father, "How am I
supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?" When his
father explains that this is the love God shows to us, Caleb makes a
life-changing commitment. And--with God's help--begins to understand
what it means to truly love his wife. But is it too late to fireproof his
marriage? His job is to rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is ready to face his
toughest job ever . . . rescuing his wife's heart.

what cost?
McKenna and her rebellious younger brother Robert accept an invitation
from their distant cousin and move to Copper Creek, Colorado, seeking a
fresh start in a quaint mountain town. There she meets US Marshall Wyatt
Caradon who begins to suspect McKenna's brother of a number of illegal
activities.
When McKenna's cousin dies, leaving her the ranch and a young child, the
future seems laid out for her. But a distant relative shows up to contest the
will—and the judge is disinclined to grant the inheritance to an unmarried
woman with no means to pay a mortgage. Wyatt's growing affection for
McKenna and the likely ruling in the case motivate him to propose a
marriage of convenience. McKenna must learn the value of loving a man
who puts the Lord before himself, and before her. And the truth that real
security can only be found when she's centered in the middle of God's will
for her life—wherever that leads her, whatever the cost.

The gripping and illuminative story of how five cities—Jerusalem,
Athens, Rome, London, and New York—shaped the course of global
history.
History unfolds in a wide tapestry, but some patterns and threads stand out
from the others for their brilliance and importance in the bigger picture.
Five Cities that Ruled the World examines how and why a handful of
cities—Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and New York—emerged in
their respective times of influence to dominate the world stage, directing
wealth and power, influencing faith and belief, commanding fear and
allegiance, provoking wars and conquests, and shaping the world we live in
today. Profiling their leaders, exploring their philosophies, following their
armies into war, riding their merchant ships to ports of commerce, and
watching as one eclipses the others, Douglas Wilson broadens our
understanding and appreciation of these cities with piercing insights,
curious details, and entertaining stories.
• New ways of thinking of the flow of world history
• A philosophical journey through the how and why these five cities ruled
the world and what happened when each of them were in control

A well-crafted tale of adventure and smuggling on the high seas
It was on a secluded cay in the Bahamas one otherwise ordinary morning
that Jimmy Divine went for his usual jog on the beach—one that changed
his life forever. After all, how many people stumble upon several million
dollars when they’re out exercising? Soon, millions of more dollars would
fall into his lap. And with each million Jimmy has an incredible story to
tell, the next one more amazing than the last—like when he describes the
view from his pew at the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana,
or how he would pay back the poor families of farmers and fishermen who
helped care for his ailing mother when he couldn’t, or the time when he
was a child trying to poison his crusty old neighbor with a deadly
barracuda.

when it comes to shopping. And if you are in sales, advertising, or
marketing, you had better understand what this means if you want to
succeed. Get it wrong, and you'll miss half of your market!
Sheds new light on the brain-facts behind why men and women shop--and
buy--differently
Author has over thirteen years in sales and marketing
Combines clear prose and a light touch with cutting-edge neurologic
science

Meet Denver, a man raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana in
the 1960s; a man who escaped, hopping a train to wander, homeless, for
eighteen years on the streets of Dallas, Texas. No longer a slave, Denver’s
life was still hopeless—until God moved. First came a godly woman who
prayed, listened, and obeyed. And then came her husband, Ron, an
international arts dealer at home in a world of Armani-suited millionaires.
And then they all came together.

Olympic Gold Medal figure skater Scott Hamilton shares his eight

difficulties, and career-canceling odds.
With never-been-told, behind-the-scenes stories from the skating world,
personal challenges including testicular cancer and a brain tumor, as well
as divine miracles, Olympic Gold Medal figure skater Scott Hamilton
shares the secrets to his lifelong journey to find the silver (and gold) lining
in the clouds of life. His life principles, fashioned into eight secrets that
begin with the rote of learning to skate the figure 8, are the keys. Scott
says, "Skating taught me how to be happy. I have always kept these eight
as my own private, personal secrets that I practiced daily with repetition,
focus, and discipline. Now I want to share them with the world."

Not since the Civil War has America been so divided over such a
seemingly unsolvable issue as U.S. immigration policy.
The president and congress are at an impasse, while vigilante groups patrol
our nation's borders looking for one of the million yearly invaders. Why are
20 million people disregarding America’s sovereign borders and laws to
come to this country? Popular radio host Darrell Ankarlo follows the lives
of several Mexican citizens as they contemplate their existence south of the
border, their temptation to sneak into America, and what waits for them
here. To understand the issue first-hand, Ankarlo stared down gun barrels,
was caught in the middle of a drug-lord showdown, and then wandered the
Arizona desert after illegally sneaking back into America. Another Man’s
Sombrero explores issues raised by these personal stories and offers
perspectives—often contradictory—from U.S. citizens.

beneath the polar ice pack.
The Cold War was in full swing. The Soviet Union had just successfully
launched Sputnik, and President Eisenhower badly wanted to redeem the
reputation of the US as technologically superior. “Operation Sunshine” was
the answer: under top-secret orders, the Captain and crew of one of the first
nuclear submarines, the USS Nautilus, crossed under the North Pole and
became the first naval vessel to forge all the way under the polar ice pack
to emerge near the former Soviet Union. Readers will voyage along with
Captain Anderson as he shares newly declassified stories of his sub’s
encounters with terrible storms, fire in the hold, collisions with ice, broken
compasses, and more.

William Anderson graduated from the United States Naval Academy in
1942 and served in the United States Navy from 1957 to 1962. He
participated in 11 submarine combat patrols in the Pacific and was awarded
the Bronze Star and other combat awards. Anderson was the commanding
officer of the Nautilus, the first atomic submarine, from 1957 to 1959 and
made the first transpolar voyage under ice. He also served as assistant to
Vice Admiral H. G. Rickover; was a consultant to President Kennedy for
the National Service Corps, 1963; and was elected to Congress. Before his

A journey of adventure, tragedy, love, and loss on the summit of Mt.
Hood.
In December 2006, millions prayed and waited in anguish to learn the fate
of 3 climbers trapped on Mt. Hood. A killer storm pounded the mountain
with hurricane-force winds that would not permit the army of rescue
workers to do their work. No one below could forget the last phone call
Kelly James placed to his wife, Karen, telling her that he was trapped in a
snow cave just below the summit. What happened next would change the
lives of everyone involved and deeply touch millions of people who
desperately hoped to see a Christmas miracle. But the story did not end
when Kelly’s body was airlifted off the mountain. For Karen, the year
after his death was spent searching for answers to what really happened on
the mountain. In this gripping tale, she reveals never-released information
about the fateful climb and behind-the-scenes details of how the family
coped with the shocking news.

their world.
They are experienced, smart, and effective. They have a wealth of wisdom
and influence to offer and are America’s richest resource. They are women.
But today too many of those women view their lives and futures with a
growing sense of frustration or ambivalence. At a time in which there are
more opportunities for women at every level and in every realm of
American life than ever before, many still wrestle with paralyzing doubt
about what they can and should be doing. Congressman Marsha Blackburn
exposes these fears and misconceptions and lays out a compelling
corrective case for empowerment and action. Blackburn helps women of all
ages discover a hidden or forgotten truth: the life they’ve led has prepared
them for the life they dream of.
• Reveals the hidden talents within every woman

With solid biblical teaching and deeply moving stories, Sheila Walsh
helps women discover God’s goodness in everyday life, leading them to
freedom from the universal areas of brokenness every woman knows. Translations Not Available:
Why is it so difficult to believe in the redemptive upswing to life’s
heartaches? A divorce happens, and hope seems so distant. A job is lost,
and a sense of security drifts away. A dream is unfulfilled, and it seems
better not to dream at all. Sheila Walsh believes that the battle for
hope—for freedom to live fully in the face of life's challenges—is the
central need every woman can discover.

Makes simple the hundreds of books and dozens of theories on bible
prophecy.
The Bible has much to say about the end times. Yet it is hard to piece
together all that information in a way that gives a comprehensive picture of
what that time period will look like. That’s why so many theories
abound. And that’s why Dr. David Jeremiah has written What In the World
Is Going On? There is no other prophecy book like this. You’ll find it the
ultimate study tool for understanding the future. And this book will also
motivate readers to live a more holy life and make greater efforts in
evangelism. If bible prophecy has always been a mystery to you, Dr.
Jeremiah’s book will help you solve the mystery. At last, bible prophecy
can make sense, and make a difference. What In the World Is Going On? is
shocking and eye-opening but essential reading in a world of confusing
theories.
• Identifies 10 events the bible says will take place at the end times
• Makes bible prophecy clear and easy to understand
• Provides a sure guideline for sorting through the continuously "updated"
prophecy predictions

A creative holiday story that introduces kids to environmental
awareness with ways that they can make a big difference.
It's November up in the North Pole. Everything's going along smoothly at
Santa's workshop until he discovers a leak in his roof. Santa soon learns
that this little leak is connected to a far bigger problem. The North Pole is
melting because of something called global warming! Faced with the
reality of what this could mean for Christmas, not to mention the planet and
the future, Santa is determined to turn things around. To do so, he calls
upon the people he knows better than any other—the children. Much to
Santa's joy, they respond in a way that makes all the difference . . . in the
world.
