Gods Handmaiden
$12.99When Gervase Howard is just in her mid-teens, her working-class mother dies and leaves her an orphan. She goes to live with her aunt and uncle, who are in service to a wealthy, noble family, the Wingates, outside of London. Gervase at first helps her aunt, the head cook, then gradually learns many other aspects of running a large household and becomes the assistant to the housekeeper. She is drawn to the eldest son of the Wingate family, Davis, and gradually her adolescent fascination grows into something deeper_but just as hopeless, because the two are separated not just by class standing but also by Davis’s love for Roberta. When he announces their engagement and asks Gervase to join them in their new home as Roberta’s maid, Gervase leaves the Wingates for another position_as companion to Florence Nightingale, a young woman who feels the call of God on her life, but has no idea what he wants her to do. When the Crimean War breaks out, that mystery is quickly solved when Florence is asked to create a corps of nurses and lead them to the Crimea to care for British soldiers who are dying from disease and poor medical care. There, Gervase crosses paths with Davis once more and this time senses some real warmth and affection from him_but since he’s a married man, she discourages it. When she returns to England, Gervase receives word that Davis has been seriously injured in a fall and lies in a coma. She accepts the Wingates’ call to come and care for him. As he slowly regains consciousness and the ability to communicate, he reveals to Gervase that his “accident” was actually attempted murder, and that his life_and hers_are still in danger.

The new novel begins with Claire already having made a significant decision: she has withdrawn from surgical training at Lafayette University Hospital in Boston and returned to Stoney Creek to become a primary-care physician, where she will be able to help her mother in caring for her now completely disabled father. She has also decided to undergo the testing required to determine whether she carries the HD gene. Her relationship with John Serelli has been rekindled, as well. Just before the final counseling session leading up to the revelation of the results of that testing–when Claire will discover once and for all whether she carries the gene–she discovers an engagement ring hidden in John’s car and becomes convinced that he is going to “pop the question” before she opens the letter revealing her gene status. When John doesn’t ask, Claire runs out of the counseling session in tears, not wanting to find out the results of her HD test. She is convinced that his love for her is conditional on her gene status, and may not be love at all. Claire copes by plunging herself into her work.

1 Tuesday Morning
$17.99Jake Bryan is a New York City fireman and devoted family man. He has a storybook marriage to Jenny, his high school sweetheart. Taped to the inside of his helmet is the photograph and name of their four-year-old daughter, Sierra. Eric Michaels is a driven financial manager who has spent the past five years climbing the corporate ladder, often at the expense of his wife, Amber, and two young sons. On September 11, 2001, Eric is doing business on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center when the building is hit by a commercial airliner. In the race down the smoky stairwell, Eric falls. At the same moment, firefighter Jake Bryan is rushing up the stairs. He stops and helps Eric to his feet and as he does, his helmet falls. Eric hands the helmet back to the fireman and both men freeze momentarily, stunned by the uncanny resemblance between them. Minutes later the building begins to shake and crumble. When Eric Michaels awakens he is beneath a fire truck. He is burned and bloody, and most of his clothes have been blown off. A fire captain rushes to his side, thinking he recognizes his friend Jake, and leads him to a triage center, then contacts the woman he assumes is the man’s wife Jenny Bryan. By the time she arrives at the hospital, Eric’s face is bandaged from the burns and injuries. When the bandages come off, days later, Jenny assumes that the difference in his appearance is due to the effects of the burns. Eric remembers almost nothing from before the attack. In the months that follow, Eric struggles to fill the gaps in his memory and to relate to a wife and daughter he doesn’t remember. On the opposite coast, Amber, grieving the loss of her husband, is helped by Eric’s best friend–a single man who has always adored her. Then Eric begins having disturbing dreams and flashbacks–of a different family. And questions begin to grow in Jenny’s mind.

Southern Storm
$17.99Police Chief Cade disappears after hitting and killing a man with his car. Without a trace, without a note, without taking clothes or his car or money, he is gone. When a witness says she saw Cade getting into a blue Buick with a woman before his disappearance, the newspapers report that Cade left town to be with her. Blair knows it doesn’t make sense for Cade to leave without word for any reason. The dead man is identified, and it soon becomes clear that the woman Cade was seen with was the wife of the dead man.

Singsation
$31.41This second release from co-publishers Warner Books and Walk Worthy Press makes a solid contribution to the limited pool of quality Christian fiction titles written for and by African-Americans. Deborah Anne Peterson sings hymns at her small hometown church, but envisions herself performing in much glitzier venues. A fortuitous encounter with rap star Triage Blue gives her a chance to break into the big time. As she climbs the ladder of success and wrestles with the temptations that go with it, she wonders is this really what God wants her to do with her talent? The novel pushes the parameters of traditional Christian fiction with characters who have long discussions about underwear and thongs, engage in some French kissing and exclaim, “Oh my God!” The sexual situations aren’t graphic, but they are more titillating than most CBA readers are used to, although noticeably toned down from Walk Worthy’s first book, Temptation. The reader must sometimes suspend belief; in less than a year, Deborah changes from a country girl into a music star who performs at the Grammys. Another character’s deathbed conversion is also less than satisfying. But the portrayal of Deborah’s loving relationship with her parents is both touching and refreshing. This is a laudable effort to bring an African-American perspective and a slightly edgier tone into Christian fiction, while keeping the gospel message up front and center.

Jerusalem Scrolls : A Novel Of The Struggle For Jerusalem
$22.00Prolific authors Bodie and Brock Thoene have earned a loyal readership for their fictional sagas of Jerusalem’s stormy history. In The Jerusalem Scrolls, the fourth book in the Zion Legacy series, the husband-and-wife team surprise readers with a new spin, creating a story within a story and swapping time periods. It’s 1948 when the tale opens, and flames are engulfing the Jewish Quarter. The battle for Old City Jerusalem is lost. Moshe Sachar and Alfie Halder escape the chaos through a secret passageway that leads to a cavernous, subterranean library, where the most sacred Jewish texts lie safely hidden. As Moshe prepares for their long confinement, he finds a tightly rolled papyrus scroll inscribed with the names Miryam and Marcus. He reads, and the scene shifts to the first century A.D., where a love story unfolds. Faithful fans of the series may have to stretch a bit to make the transition from following characters they’ve come appreciate to enjoying this diversion to a biblical epic. But the Thoenes have the skill to pull it off. Their ability to craft a historical novel and their careful attention to detail and description have resulted in sales of 6 million copies of their books in print, and eight Gold Medallion awards.

Hobbit : Or There And Back Again
$15.99In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Hometown Legend
$31.41The coauthor of the blockbuster Left Behind series inks the appealing, happily-ever-after Hometown Legend, about a small town in severe financial straits and its former championship football team, written in a made-for-the-movies style that will earn author Jerry Jenkins some new fans. There are some likable characters in this yarn. Lonely widower Cal Sawyer is juggling several balls at once: raising his teenage daughter Rachel, helping coach the down-at-the-heels Athens City High football team, and trying to keep the American Leather Football Company from going belly up. He doesn’t count on the impact Elvis Presley Jackson will have on the football season–and on his daughter. Bev Raschke, Sawyer’s single, 40-something assistant, has her eye on him, but as Sawyer says, “She’s got two cats, and that’s about all I need to know about a woman.” Romance is inevitable. As the novel unfolds, mostly told in Sawyer’s rambling, Southern drawl, we see trouble brewing in his personal life, on the football team, and with the unfolding of Elvis’s past. But never fear–there’s a happy ending in sight. No loose ends are left dangling, and there’s a heartwarming, feel-good wrap-up with a bit of a spin that will satisfy Left Behind aficionados who enjoy a predestined finish to their leisure reading.

When Krogan destroys the New York Aquarium’s tanks of whales and dolphins, Det. Gavin Pierce’s grandfather is one of the spectators killed. In his quest for vengeance, Gavin joins forces with Amy Kirsch, a sassy, drop-dead gorgeous computer hacker who has a homespun “fortune cookie” saying for almost every occasion.

As Jonathan Lethem remarks in his Introduction, The real characters are the ideas. Chesterton’s nutty agenda is really quite simple: to expose moral relativism and parlor nihilism for the devils he believes them to be. This wouldn’t be interesting at all, though, if he didn’t also show such passion for giving the devil his due. He animates the forces of chaos and anarchy with every ounce of imaginative verve and rhetorical force in his body.

Emerald Windows
$17.99Brooke Martin is a stained-glass artist who fled her hometown of Hayden, Louisiana, ten years ago after a scandal in which, as a high-school student, she was wrongly accused of having an affair with her twenty-one-year-old art teacher, Nick Marcello, who was fired as a result of the gossip. Now, as a struggling artist, she accepts a commission to return to Hayden to redesign the stained-glass windows in the city’s historic church only to find that the person who hired her was in fact Nick Marcello. Nick is now a Christian, but that doesn’t stop the gossip from starting all over again once Brooke returns, sparked by Abby Hemphill, a trustee of the church. Brooke’s family is greatly bothered by the gossip, especially her younger sister Roxy, now in high school, who has problems of her own and is in fact, as Brooke discovers to her dismay, somehow involved with a mystery married man, Bill. Despite the hypocrisy of many of the church members, Brooke begins to see the mystery of God’s relationship with man as she designs the window panels. When Brooke comes to a point of surrender to God, she and Nick confess to each other that, although they didn’t act on their feelings for each other years ago, those feelings were nevertheless there, contributing to the feelings of guilt they’ve suffered all these years. They kiss. Meanwhile, Abby Hemphill is finally successful in convincing the church trustees to freeze all funds for the window renovation. Nick and Brooke offer to continue the work for free. In a Gift of the Magi touch, Nick and Brooke, unbeknownst to each other, each sell something of great value to finance the work. Brooke discovers that Roxy’s married man, Bill, is Bill Hemphill, Abby’s son. He has been pursuing Roxy for months through threats and intimidation, but in fact Roxy has not given in to him yet. Brooke tells Bill and Abby she will go to the press with the whole story unless it stops now. As the book ends, Brooke and Nick are engaged and church members raise enough money to reimburse them for their expenses and labor in finishing the church windows.
