Loyal Heart
$17.99When former Confederate officer Robert Truax pays a visit to Miriam Markham, the widow of one of his fallen comrades, he begins to dream of a future he’d long since given up. It all started with a pact made while burying a fallen comrade. Six men promised they would look out for each other after the war. Robert Truax means to keep his vow . . . even if he must now look after Miriam Markham, his lieutenant’s beloved widow. When he arrives at Miriam’s house in Galveston, Texas, things are worse than he imagined. Rumors abound that her husband, Phillip, was a traitor, and Miriam is receiving threatening notes. She’s being treated as a pariah in town and also getting a lot of pressure to sell her house and leave the island. Upon meeting Robert, Miriam feels that she’s finally made a friend. But soon she learns that he’s nothing like she originally thought. He not only served in the Confederate States Army, but he was in the same prison camp where her husband died-and he seems to know more about Phillip’s death than he’s letting on. Now Miriam must determine whether to trust Robert enough to give him her heart and let him help her . . . or to remain loyal to the memory of her husband, the man she is slowly realizing she actually didn’t know well at all.

John : His Gospel And The Revelation
$12.43By the author of Our First Ten Days, Treasures Found in Passing, and numerous other books, here is a small pioneering piece about the historic life and work of the Apostle John. Of course we look upon John as a Christian saint, but we also see him as much more than this. We see him standing tall as a cultural giant in his time, skillfully moving within the scope of Hebrew tradition, Roman law, and Greek philosophy, all the way to old age, and escaping martyrdom by the mere power of his manhood. We view him as a man of both profound faith and superior intelligence, a quiet man, learned in philosophy, a student of history, and a master in the art of communication.
Youngest and brightest of the Twelve, we believe this Apostle lived and served to become the oldest and most accomplished. He would, we are saying, put pen to papyrus and write two of our most significant New Testament books, each to be a blockbuster when done. Exciting is the story: Why did this Apostle write each of these, under what condition, and with what result?
He would deeply ponder the two most pressing questions of that century, one dating from six centuries before and the other originating within his own generation, the ancient one an issue in philosophy, the newer one an issue of Christian faith. Thinking deeply into these, this remarkable man would find that each answered the other, and so in his Gospel would solve both with a single pen stroke. This we know for sure. Sadly, though, the lifetime career of this Apostle was somewhere lost along the stream of history, leaving to us only the power to imagine.

Noble Masquerade (Reprinted)
$21.17Sparkling Regency Romance from a Captivating New VoiceLady Miranda Hawthorne acts every inch the lady, but inside she longs to be bold and carefree. Entering her fourth Season and approaching spinsterhood in the eyes of society, she pours her innermost feelings out not in a diary but in letters to her brother’s old school friend, a duke–with no intention of ever sending these private thoughts to a man she’s heard stories about but never met. Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued by Marcus, her brother’s new valet, and although she may wish to break free of the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of a rebellion than she planned.
When Marcus accidentally discovers and mails one of the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is beyond mortified. And even more shocked when the duke returns her note with one of his own that initiates a courtship-by-mail. Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into confusion at her growing feelings for two men–one she’s never met but whose words deeply resonate with her heart, and one she has come to depend on but whose behavior is more and more suspicious. When it becomes apparent state secrets are at risk and Marcus is right in the thick of the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda’s heart is far from all that’s at risk for the Hawthornes and those they love.
