Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young professional family from the Midwest follows God's call to minister in a poverty pocket in northern Appalachia, where their expectations run headlong into the reality of mountain culture. Quirky characters, outhouses, horning parties, cow riding, quilting bees, maple sugarin'they all become part of the fascinating daily life of the Farleys as they work to rebuild a struggling church in a quaint hamlet of Riggs, Pennsylvania. Nothing thrills me more than stories of God working in big ways in small places. This is why Tales of the Endless Mountains is such a treasure! Every page contains riveting adventure, humor, and wisdom, all proclaiming God's amazing grace and power. It almost reads like a fictional account. (How could real life in a country church be so dramatic?!) Woven into the tales you will find boat-loads of encouragement, challenges to enlarge your faith, and superb ministry insightsin fact, more (and better!) advice than many books written expressly for that purpose, which qualifies it for a ministry primer. And, I am pleased that it all happened during the Farleys' years of exemplary service with RHMA! - Dr. Ron Klassen, Executive Director, Rural Home Missionary Association

Book excerpt: Ray Ward¿s dramatic March Into The Endless Mountains ¿ 1778: The Beginnings of War on the Frontier of America, reconstructs the turbulent story of two cultures in clash and the adventures of a double spy who almost changed American history. Ward describes in vivid detail the battles spreading amid the mountains and along the Susquehanna River, westernmost boundary of Colonial settlement. Herein, much as are interwoven the strands of a tapestry, the author weaves a tapestry of unfolding events, narrating the loves, tragedies, espionage and, yes, terror that prevailed. The war is seen from several perspectives, Indian, Tory, frontiersman, and those with divided loyalty. All major characters are drawn from real life, including the beautiful Seneca Queen Esther Montour of French and Indian descent, and Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant, college educated, who led the warring Indian nations. The plot advances around Samuel Wallis, respected Philadelphian known as the `land king of Pennsylvania¿ because of his vast holdings on the frontier. To preserve his investment he would play both sides, serving Sir William Howe more faithfully that his other master General George Washington. He would become paymaster of Philadelphia¿s notorious spy-ring. About him swirls the military forays, pitched battles, wilderness ambushes, Indian confabs, Loyalist intrigue which makes this fast paced chronicle a compelling account of the bloody years 1778-79. Helpful to the reader is preface material and end notes. Sleep deprivation is a byproduct experienced by those opening the covers of this historical treatise.

In these inspirational stories you will get to know three amazing young women all of whom are first introduced in book one: Stella, Claudia, and Sofie. In book one, Shadowing Stella, Stella meets Jason while she struggles to come to terms with being the pregnant single daughter of the town’s preacher. All the while, she senses someone watching, but shrugs off the feeling as her overactive imagination. Her choice to ignore the danger may have deadly consequences if she’s not careful. In book two, Implicating Claudia, Claudia gets reacquainted with Dawson, a family friend and neighbor. Things go awry when she’s accused of murdering her childhood friend. When the real killer sets his sights on her, she must rely on others, but her stubborn independent streak causes difficulty. Her defiance may put more than one life at risk. In book three, Chasing Sofie, Sofie meets Caleb on the day of her boyfriend Johan’s untimely death. Johan was a professor on campus and Caleb is there to investigate a drug ring. She refuses to accept that Johan’s death was a suicide and begins an investigation of her own. When she uncovers evidence she thinks will lead to his killer, she finds out the hard way that being kept in the dark was far safer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of friends and families only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace Akers is hung from a beam over the altar of the Harford Independent Bible Church, and shortly thereafter, on the first day of deer season, her husband is shot dead on the property of the Smiley family. Kate and Ben Pierce, the new owners of a country home in Harford, become involved in the case through Jenny Smiley, the remarkable daughter of Pastor Paul Smiley, after Jenny is attacked in a highly novel way. The only obvious common denominator in the murders is the church. But how could the church possibly be involved? "How?" is the question that tantalizes Brad Jackson, Pennsylvania State Police criminal investigator. While hardly a novice in investigating murder, his murder caseload seldom exceeds more than one a year. Once circumstances throw him together with Kate and Ben, they all work together to bring the case to an explosive conclusion.
