Fuego De Chango – (Spanish)
$12.95
Julio Santana quema edificios. Por una modesta suma, Julio le prende fuego a los edificios de Harlem que algunos poderosos inversionistas quieren hacer desaparecer para cobrar el dinero del seguro, y construir nuevos edificios, mas modernos, mas caros, mas comodos. Julio ha ganado miles de dolares quemando las casas del mismo barrio que lo vio crecer, y con todo el dinero que ha ganado, logro comprar un apartamento en el que vive con sus padres. Pero cuando se enamora de Helen, una blanquita que acaba de mudarse a su edificio, Julio decide dejar a un lado los incendios, para llevar una vida honesta y sin complicaciones. Lo que no se esperaba, es que su cambio de parecer enfureciera tanto a sus jefes y que pronto, no solo peligraria su propia vida, sino tambien la de sus seres queridos. A medida que lucha por alejarse de la vida que llevaba, Julio se ve rodeado de diversos personajes que iluminan pero tambien complican su existencia. De la pastora del barrio, que le consigue papeles de ciudadania a los trabajadores indo-cumentados, a Papelito, el sabio y respetado santero, a los encantadores padres de Julio, Quinonez le da vida a una novela cuyos personajes y temas son tan evocadores y universales que permaneceran en la mente del lector para siempre.

Open : Get Ready For The Adventure Of A Lifetime
$15.99You’ve accepted the invitation. Are you ready to take the next step?
From the New York Times bestselling author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, Open will forever change the way you think about faith.
It wasn’t the end of the world. It was just the end of Emma Jameson’s world. Fresh off the heels of a devastating breakup and floundering in her career, Emma is struggling to come to grips with why God allows so much pain in our lives, why He seems so absent when she needs Him most, and why the Gospel accounts-our supposed guide for how to lead a contented Christian life-feel so completely irrelevant.
Then one day, a mysterious envelope arrives in Emma’s mailbox with the word Open written on the outside. Inside the envelope is a card bearing the following message: “For a real adventure with Jesus, go through the nearest open door.”
Skeptical, but having absolutely nothing to lose, Emma steps through the pantry door, only to find herself instantly transported back to the first century, where she is taken on a personal tour of various Gospel accounts by none other than Jesus himself-an experience that radically challenges Emma’s perception of the Gospels and what it really means to be a Christian.

Out Of The Far North
$15.99Moscow Is Furious–and Plotting Revenge
Tensions are at a breaking point. The Western markets that once relied on Russian gas have turned to Israel for their energy needs. Furious, Russia surreptitiously moves to protect their interests by using their newfound ally, Iran, and Iran’s proxy militias.
As Israel’s elite fighting forces and the Mossad go undercover, they detect the Kremlin is planning a major attack against Israel. Hunting for clues, Mossad agents Nir Tavor and Nicole le Roux plunge themselves into the treacherous underworld of Russian oligarch money, power, and decadence.
With each danger they face, le Roux’s newfound Christian faith grows stronger. And battle-weary Tavor–haunted by dreams from his past–must confront memories and pain he’d sought to bury.
In this electrifying thriller, hostilities explode as Tavor and le Roux fight to prevent a devastating conflict. Will they be able to outwit their enemies, or will their actions have catastrophic consequences? And how can Tavor’s Kidon team possibly survive when forces beyond the Mossad’s control step in and turn the whole operation upside down?
