Book excerpt: "Mary Ellen is living the life she was born into but poised to live the life she creates. Her elderly mother is driving her crazy, her third-grade students are pushing her buttons, and she wants out of everything. When given an opportunity to travel to China with her best friend and her family, she leaps at the chance. There she meets two intriguing men, both Americans. A married father of two whose wife leaves him mid-trip attracts her more than she'd like to admit, while a handsome teacher appeals to her more cautious side. Her experiences with these men spark a realization that she is attractive and worthy of living a full life. When she returns to the home she's shared with her mother since birth, she announces that she's moving out. Just as she reaches for what she believes she truly wants, her mother dies. This crushing loss fills her with guilt and self-doubt. Mary Ellen finds a path to self-forgiveness and peace when she reads a letter from her mother, reminding her of their loving connection and giving her the strength to move toward the desires of her heart. The Sacrificial Daughter explores a young woman's empowerment as she pushes against the confines of what her family expects of her, finding the courage to live according to her desires"--

Book excerpt: Jesse Clarke, new to the town of Ashton, finds herself hated the moment she sets foot in her new high school. From her bus driver who is about to lose his job, to the principal who fears a revolt by his teaching staff, Jesse is the object of their anger and frustration. Her crime? She's the daughter of the new town manager, a conservative who is trying to save Ashton from sinking into bankruptcy under the weight of a bloated town government. He's making her life hell by cutting jobs left and right. Though he is untouchable in his high offices, Jesse isn't. She has to walk amongst the friends and family of those who are out of work because of him and she must bear the brunt of their rage. And she has another problem. Ashton is home to its very own un-convicted serial killer. Mocking the police, he roams the forests in search of his next victim, looking for that 'special someone'. This year that someone is Jesse Clarke and the town is only too happy to sacrifice her to appease his ferocious lusts. Stalked by a ferocious murderer and set against an entire town, Jesse's life becomes a torturous hell that only grows worse when she falls for the one boy who can't possibly love her without killing her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the many religious acts condemned in the Hebrew Bible, child sacrifice stands out as particularly horrifying. The idea that any group of people would willingly sacrifice their own children to their god(s) is so contrary to modern moral sensibilities that it is difficult to imagine that such a practice could have ever existed. Nonetheless, the existence of biblical condemnation of these rites attests to the fact that some ancient Israelites in fact did sacrifice their children. Indeed, a close reading of the evidence—biblical, archaeological, epigraphic, etc.—indicates that there are at least three different types of Israelite child sacrifice, each with its own history, purpose, and function. In addition to examining the historical reality of Israelite child sacrifice, Dewrell’s study also explores the biblical rhetoric condemning the practice. While nearly every tradition preserved in the Hebrew Bible rejects child sacrifice as abominable to Yahweh, the rhetorical strategies employed by the biblical writers vary to a surprising degree. Thus, even in arguing against the practice of child sacrifice, the biblical writers themselves often disagreed concerning why Yahweh condemned the rites and why they came to exist in the first place.

Book excerpt: It’s never too late to be a better father Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood—in part because his own "fathers" failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim's life by the time he turned 13. Isn’t it odd—and reminiscent of the hand of God—that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up? Or could it be that successful parenting is discovered not in the perfect, peaceful household but in the midst of battles and messy situations, where God must constantly be called to the scene? That is the mystery unraveled in this book. Using his own expertise, humor, and inexhaustible wealth of stories, Jim will show you that God can make you a good dad, a great dad, in spite of the way you’ve grown up and in spite of the mistakes you’ve made. Maybe even because of them. It’s not about becoming a perfect father. It’s about trying to become a better father, each and every day. It's about building relationships with your children through love, grace, patience, and fun—and helping them grow into the men and women they’re meant to be.
