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.

Time Of Jacobs Trouble
$15.99A typical day at the rehabilitation center turns into a nightmare for Emma Grady when her favorite physical therapy patient vanishes in front of her, along with several colleagues. Fear turns to chaos as Emma begins the frantic race from Brooklyn to Queens, anxious to discover if her boyfriend is safe. Subways are closed, graves are open, and countless people have inexplicably disappeared. Mayhem erupts as terror grips the residents of New York City.
Was this a terrorist attack? An alien abduction? Or has evil been unleashed? What else could make so many vanish in a moment? And not just in New York, but all over the globe.
With so many people missing, Emma wonders if this is the predicted end of the world and begins a desperate search to discover the answers.
This unique book takes the reader on a riveting journey from New York City to Israel in the form of a page-turning novel and in the final chapters, Donna leads us into the Bible, where we learn that God has made known “the end from the beginning.” Through Scripture, we understand that things aren’t spiraling downward but are actually looking up.

Running From Reality
$8.99Allie Carroway is done. With reality TV that is. It seemed fun at first, to be part of a famous family, but life gets embarrassing and challenging especially when every detail of your life is filmed for the world to see. Allie’s cousins, Kendall, Ruby, Lola, and Hunter have had enough too. Each one has experienced some embarrassment, and lately it seems that all they do is complain about the show and how they don’t like having everyone know what is going on in their lives. But when the cousins call a strike, they are quickly reminded that they can’t go back on a decision they made as a family.
But Papaw Ray has a surprise for the kids. He sends them on a trip to escape reality. With hunting season and the holidays just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to take a trip and escape the show-but on one condition. They can’t tell anyone about their adventures, no matter how fun, challenging, or even amazing they are. No cameras or pictures allowed.
Allie, her cousins, and the family head for California and warmer weather, only to find that what’s in store will be the hardest secret they’ve ever had to keep. Especially when what they learn, and the ways God allows them to help others, can give people hope and be light for all to see.
This series explores the nature of a family filled with social, cultural, and physical diversity. In a world splashed with class and camouflage, the cousins are constantly looking for ways to love unconditionally through all the hiccups, with the love and faith of family.

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.
