Texas Pursuit
$12.99
After no longer being able to wait for the perfect guy, Tanya O’Brien adopted her son, Coty, from Korea. On the return flight, she sat by Maurice Salazar, who dropped numerous innuendoes on the flight and Tanya was thrilled when their twelve hour journey was over. But once she arrived back home in Dallas, Maurice began to stalk her. Even though Tanya insisted he stay out of her life, he persisted in crossing her path, buying her gifts, and leaving voice mails. After she filed a restraining order against Maurice, he still watched her from a distance. Finding little support from law enforcement, Tanya moved. And so far, no Maurice.
Detective Sonny Mansfield is hired by a man to find his “ex-wife.” The man convinces Sonny that Tanya O’Brien has wrongfully divorced him and kidnapped their adopted son. The minute Sonny discovers where Tanya O’Brien lives and gives the information to his client, he senses he may have made a mistake. The man’s eyes take on a crazed gleam as he pays Sonny for his services.
When Sonny watches Tanya with her little boy, he knows he has made a dreadful mistake. Tanya O’Brien seems to be an honest, excellent mother. Sonny expects she’s in danger and thus arranges to keep watch over her by renting out her garage apartment. Tanya feels that Sonny must be a provision from God. She feels so much safer having someone on the premises. But neither Sonny nor Tanya realize what they’re up against.
As they join forces to fight evil, they can’t deny the attraction between them. But Tanya is someone whose relationship with God is the most important thing in her life, while Sonny left church behind long ago. Will this new friendship be the very thing that brings him back? And will Tanya finally have the father figure for her son she’s long desired?

Women Of The Bible Speak
$25.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Great By Choice
$29.99The new question
Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.The new study
Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness-beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years-in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.
The new findings
The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.
Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.
Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.
The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include: 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets, Then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe.Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck.
This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data-driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncer
