Additional Info
She was of American blood, born in the islands. He was a native islander. Their love bridged two worlds that would one day threaten to tear them apart.
As a child, Jana Rutherford played barefoot on the sparkling Hawaiian beaches with her friend, Akela, and Akela’s handsome cousin, Kimo. But that carefreeness would change as Jana grew…and the quality of her and Kimo’s friendship grew as well into something deeper, stronger.
It was then that Jana first heard the whispers, “He’s not her kind”-and discovered the difference people drew between a Hawaiian-born American and a native islander.
Faced with the ignorance of others and a painful time of separation from Kimo, it would be easy for Jana’s love to grow cold. Especially with Bayard, the dashing brother of Jana’s wealthy friend, Edith, showing such evident interest. Attractive, charming, and of American stock like herself, Bayard represented a lavish, exciting world that Jana had only read about.
But Kimo stood for all she had known and loved.
In each intricate quilt of the Hawaiian women, a secret was hidden known only to its creator, a story contained in its design. Jana’s life seemed much like a quilt: delicately yet passionately fashioned by a creator who know how to assemble the pieces into a mysterious, glorious pattern-a life’s tale yet untold.
In the American Quilt trilogy best-selling author Jane Peart follows three generations of a family through the stories of its adventurous young women-heroines of courage, character, and faith. Beginning in the mountains of North Carolina, American Quilt takes readers through the Civil War, across the country by wagon train to California, and finally across the Pacific to the romance and wild beauty of Hawaiian in the late 19th century. At the end of each book, you’ll find the pattern for its quilt. Follow it to create a beautiful, heirloom quilt of your own.

Simply Jesus : A New Vision Of Who He Was What He Did And Why He Matters
$15.99In Simply Jesus, bestselling author and leading Bible scholar N.T. Wright summarizes 200 years of modern Biblical scholarship and models how Christians can best retell the story of Jesus today. In a style similar to C.S. Lewis’s popular works, Wright breaks down the barriers that prevent Christians from fully engaging with the story of Jesus. For believers confronting the challenge of connecting with their faith today, and for readers of Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God, Wright’s Simply Jesus offers a provocative new picture of how to understand who Jesus was and how Christians should relate to him today.

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.
