Book excerpt: Bill Ward, a physics teacher, pushes son Johnny (as well as his colleagues) toward the belief in evolution. Johnny's girl friend Hazy found it to be irreconcilable with her Biblically-oriented mother and her church minister. Following the defeat of Gov. Bill Clinton in the 1980 election, a statute is enacted under the new fundamentalist Gov. White requiring the teaching of Biblical Creationism along with evolution in all biology classes of the state's public high schools. Pending the trial in the federal court on its Constitutionality, Hazy brings Johnny (along with some of his atheistic classmates) to debates with her fundamentalist pastor. Because the pastor is unsuccessful in persuading them to his views, she became very disturbed-particularly as Johnny continued attempting to have her becoming born-again in his direction while continuing to increase their mutual love. When attending portions of the trial on the new state law at Johnny's request, an increasingly disturbed Hazy decides upon an action against herself. A devastated Johnny then commences seeing his father's approach in a different light and a necessity to undertake a personal action.

Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Book excerpt: When Helen Smallbone and her husband David packed up their six children, including the Grammy-winning Rebecca St. James and For King and Country’s Luke and Joel Smallbone, and made the move from Australia to the United States, it was under the promise that God would always provide, no matter the hardships. In Behind the Lights, Helen’s goal is to inspire by example what it means to really let God lead, which almost always means living outside the expectations set by society. Living counterculture to the world’s ways, even to the church’s “religious” traditions, creates circumstances that tests one’s faith and reveals just how committed we are to living for His plan and not our own. Helen’s family’s journey--including an empty house in Tennessee, the generosity of neighbors, and an all-hands-on deck approach to an international concert tour--is a living testimony of what it means to trust in God’s promises, leading, and timing, especially when difficult circumstances challenge our faith. She gives her own unique, inside view of the successes and setbacks her family has endured and the constant faithfulness and provision she received from God along the way. He has redeemed each loss beyond what she could have hoped or imagined and knows that what He’s done in her life, He will do in ours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes just living is a job in and of itself, and the world would have you believe that what is important in this life is the accumulation of wealth and material goods. But people with money find out eventually that money is not enough to satisfy everything that your spirit yearns for. God is the only way to truly fill the voids that drive you to live your life around material things and money or even food. While walking in the perfect will of God, you will find that not only are ALL of your needs met, but the desires of your heart shall be supplied to you as well. You will finally be able to live with a joy that no one can steal, not just a happiness that fades away when your mood changes. Don't get me wrong, this walk is not always easy, but it is the walk that completes you mind, body, and soul. This is simply part of my testimony, to help you understand that although storms and the frustrations will come, God is always there to protect, guide, and ultimately BLESS you.

However, this Christmas her husband insisted they travel to his home, where Destry met her in-laws for the first time. Trapped with the Cottons by a terrible blizzard, Destry not only began to learn about Amity, but Bill Cotton spoke of his own struggle with life and the impact doubt and fear had taken on his family, his friends and his nation. As Bill told of Gods supernatural intervention, Destry began to wonder if the God she professed to believe would actually interact with humans. Was it even possible? Pull up a chair, join Destry and witness how God intervened to rescue a nation and help his people learn to live Beyond the Fire.
