Bumbleweed Field
$26.23
What should parents do when their children refuse to get along? All the arguing and fighting, bickering and yelling can almost tear a family apart! Jim Carter wrote this book for his pre-teen nieces nearly twenty years ago. After changing the names to protect the “innocent”, this charming short story marshals all the elements of growing up as siblings and charts a course to becoming friends as well as sisters. Jim flies for a major airline and knows how critical the proper course is for a safe and happy arrival! He and his wife Susan live in Northern Virginia. Bible study, horses and travel fill their “empty nest” and they happily wing their way to see grown children in Texas and South Carolina.
Local artist Cortney Matz adds a colorful and simple beauty to the Bumbleweed Field’s pages. Cortney was in high school when she added her rich and textured style of water colors to The Bumbleweed Field. Her father, Dan was in the same men’s Bible study with Jim Carter and her Dad’s glowing endorsement sealed the venture. Today Cortney is a producer and communications specialists for CDR Productions and 1Voice Films in Northern Virginia. Her company’s most recent release is “For the Glory”. Look for more projects from Cortney’s fertile imagination in the near future.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
