Whisper Town : A Novel
$21.99
Despite the hard times that still grip the town, Jeb Nubey, now a dependable minister and accidental parent to three orphans, happily settles into the quiet routines of Nazareth, Arkansas. Even the pretty schoolteacher, Fern, who once seemed so cold to him, finally returns his attentions. Then one fateful night, a small package is delivered to Nubey’s doorstep: an infant girl. And the baby is black. Unable to find a relative for the baby anywhere, Jeb feels obligated to care for her. This simple act of charity, however, awakens the troubled undercurrent of racism in the South of the Great Depression. The townsfolk of Nazareth find themselves divided-what are they to make of bricks thrown through windows, graffiti on the church’s wall, the child’s new black nanny, and a craven attack in an apple orchard? And who will win the battle for the heart of this one small town?
Under a chorus of joyous gospel choirs and benevolent reconciliation, Hickman’s melodious prose and vivid characters draw the reader into a fulfilling story, one filled with humor, rage, misunderstanding, and-finally-faith.

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.

Ruthless Trust : The Ragamuffins Path To God
