Threads Of Hope
$16.99
Passed over for promotion and dumped by her boyfriend, Nina O’Malley is further frustrated when her editor assigns her one of the “soft” stories she despises–covering a gala benefit supporting the AIDS Memorial. More determined than ever to prove she deserves a promotion to the NY office, Nina decides to write a series featuring the benefit and a local quilting group raising money for AIDs research, not that she cares about any of it, but her editor does. And if she has to pretend she’s interested, she will.
Reluctantly, she goes to the benefit, only to find Greg, her high school crush, there, creating yet another awkward, socially embarrassing situation where he is involved. She comes to learn Greg is widowed and is involved with the quilting group because he and his wife adopted Jazarah, an HIV positive daughter from Ethiopia. Greg, unlike Nina, has faith in a loving God, and he trusts in God’s plan for his life.
Greg and Nina grow closer, and as Nina interviews the quilt families, she begins to question the choices she made in her life and her lack of faith. Nina suddenly finds herself facing two possible dreams, two paths for her life.

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$26.99God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
