Stain Of Guilt
$17.99
For the highly successful TV show American Fugitive, forensic artist Annie Kingston agrees to draw the updated face of Bill Bland, a cunning fugitive wanted for a double murder committed twenty years ago. In studying the man and his crime, Annie knows she must descend into the mind of a killer a mind of greed, darkness . . . and death. To render Bland as he would look today, Annie must intimately learn about his traits, his health, and his personality. Just one habitual expression could alter the way his face has aged. But as she is pulled further into his world, someone wants to stop her at any cost. To protect herself and her children, Annie must complete the drawing and pray it leads to the elusive Bland’s arrest before he can get to her . . . The house felt eerie in its silence. My own breathing, the swish of my sleeve as I drew, the rasp of pencils all seemed amplified. Yet I noticed this intermittently, as if my mind surfaced from the depths to breathe, then sank once more. Down in the murky waters of concentration, I focused on Bill Bland until I could almost touch him, feel him, smell him. The longer I worked, the more close the air in the office felt, as if a woolen blanket of oppression descended from the ceiling. A strange sense stole over me, as though I and Bland were two actors on stage, our movements spotlighted, black emptiness between us. But that darkness grew smaller and smaller as the space between us shrank. I did not know if this sense was due to my emersion in Bland’s face and mind and world, or to my fear of his threatening presence. Or both. The nerves between my shoulder blades began to tingle. Help me, God. Please.

$27.99Add to cartThe celebrated Fox News star and #1 New York Times bestselling author offers a powerful, uplifting look at her life and her spiritual journey, reflecting on her family, her faith, and her successful career.
In her bestselling children’s book Take Heart, My Child, Ainsley Earhardt drew on her childhood and the inspirational notes her father wrote her before school each morning. In this moving memoir, she reminisces about growing up with a father who loved his children unconditionally–a cherished model of parenthood she has adopted with her own daughter–how her Christian faith has shaped her life, and the dynamic journalism career that has made her a trusted household name.
From her insightful political coverage, including a sit-down with Melania Trump, to her powerful reporting covering some of the most headline-making national events, to her live coverage, including Pope Francis’ visit to New York, Ainsley considers her career and the factors that have propelled her to the top of her field, becoming a cohost of Fox & Friends and contributor to Hannity. Ainsley credits her success to the values she learned from her parents, and to the enduring Christian faith that has been her ballast through thick and thin, in good times and in periods of great difficulty.
Filled with inspirational quotes taken from Scripture and illustrated with sixteen pages of never-before-seen photos, her memoir is infused with her spiritual beliefs and will touch the hearts of all her fans, reminding them to count the blessings God has given them every day of their lives.

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.
