In Daddys Arms
$18.99
This spell binding true story will keep you captivated as you travel with one girl on a humbling voyage. You will laugh and you will cry as you see a girl try to save herself with her “pk” title, along with any other label she can find, just to find herself lost in an identity she wishes not to claim. In the middle, she slips onto a few crossings that prove in the end to be quite beautiful. On one such passage, this “dignified Christian” finds herself unwed and pregnant. Standing before her father and eighty churches he represents, rumors quickly fly. Unveiled and about to be thrust in to motherhood, the woman marries the father just to learn the father is addicted to steroids and alcohol. Abused and anorexic, the woman finally flees and has her daughter’s father arrested. One would think that is the end of the story. However, the woman finally lets her boring religion grow in to an exhilarating relationship with an exciting Daddy. She comes to find in that charismatic place, away from labels and far from any human man’s grip, she can never fall too far without landing gently in Daddy’s arms. Cradled safely in this newfound place of faith, she remarries her daughter’s father in a blind belief her husband will become a godly man. She is inspired to journey on a gut wrenching expedition, walking every step with a tenacious faith, declaring to all of Heaven and hell she and her family will leave a legacy that will change her community, her world, and perhaps a part of eternity. Somewhere in the middle she too forever is changed, as she finds the highest accolade and her preordained destiny not in any man’s title, but instead resting securely inside of her Daddy’s arms.

7 Last Words
$18.99Add to cartBased on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.

Devil At My Heels
$14.99Add to cartAthletically gifted, Louis Zamperini propelled himself from the tough streets of Southern California to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and to an NCAA mile record at USC that stood for 20 years. When war came he left the track for a B-24-a move that would have heartbreaking consequences. On a routine mission his plane crashed into the shark-infested Pacific and he would drift 2,000 miles for 47 days before being found by the Japanese. As a prisoner of war, Zamperini endured two years of horrible torture and humiliation at the hands of a psychopathic guard nicknamed “The Bird.” Yet Zamperini endured and returned home a hero.
Unfortunately, the terrible memory of his experiences haunted him. Zamperini turned to alcohol and spiraled into the depths of despair until a young preacher named Billy Graham helped him rediscover the faith that would eventually lead him to return to Japan and personally forgive all his now-imprisoned captors. Moving and unforgettable, terrifying and inspirational, Devil At My Heels is not to be missed.
