Book Description
You're going out to dinner with friends. The waiter asks what you'd like to drink: beer, wine, or a soda. What do you choose? In today's culture, much of the Christian community doesn't think twice about social drinking. For a growing number of Christians, there are plenty of instances in the Bible that seem to condone the consumption of alcohol, especially wine. Wait! Before dismissing the issue, you might stop to reconsider. Are there differences in how our cultures view drinking? Are we aware of the potential hazards alcohol poses for so many in our culture? Is it liberty to drink a beverage of choice or a license to follow a culture fascinated with alcohol? In this thought-provoking work, Randy Shuler provides ten reasons for choosing not to drink and presents a crucial understanding of alcohol in the Bible. Through research, reason, Scripture, and personal experiences, Randy challenges the reader to give serious thought to an issue once taboo in much of the Christian community. So take time to reconsider this important lifestyle choice. Who knows? The next time your waiter asks what you'd like to drink, you too may say, 'Hand Me a Dr Pepper, Please.'

Perfect for fans of Mark Oshiro and Adam Silvera comes a fiercely funny and hopeful story of one boy's attempts to keep everything under control while life has other plans. Ever since cancer invaded his adoptive mother’s life, Brett feels like he’s losing everything, most of all control. To cope, Brett fuels all of his anxieties into epic fantasies, including his intergalactic Kid Condor comic book series, which features food constellations and characters not unlike those in his own life. But lately Brett’s grip on reality has started to lose its hold. The fictions he’s been telling himself – about his unattractive body, the feeling that he’s a burden to his best friend, that he’s too messed up to be loved – have consumed him completely, and Brett will do anything to forget about the cosmic-sized hole in his chest, even if it's unhealthy. But when Brett’s journal and deepest insecurities are posted online for the whole school to see, Brett realizes he can no longer avoid the painful truths of his real-life narrative. As his eating disorder escalates, Brett must be honest with the people closest to him, including his new and fierce friend Mallory who seems to know more about Brett’s issues than he does. With their support, he just might find the courage to face the toughest reality of all.

Book Description
After the years of turmoil and tragedy, life at La Bonne Vie Plantation settled into placid contentment (or a semblance of such) ... until Nicolas (Nicky) Fontenot, prodigal son of Angelique and her brother François, returns after years in a Texas prison, and Antoine Babineaux II returns to claim his father’s name. At the heart of the story, and the hearts of Antoine and Nicolas, is beautiful, incorrigible Desirée Fontenot, the image of her mother Angelique. Ghosts of the past rise up and the lurid whispers and innuendos come to life once again. Then Uncle Virgil Leveque, the catalyst of the earlier tragedy, returns home after thirty years in an insane asylum, and unwittingly becomes the agent provocateur that sends the story hurtling toward its conclusion and closure at last. But is there truly closure?

Book Description
“The sheriff of Prophesy County, Okla., tackles a murder case involving several wives, all married to the same man . . . A twisted mystery” (Kirkus Reviews). The members of the New Saints Tabernacle generally try not to draw the attention of Sheriff Milt Kovak, but now one of Jerry Hudson’s three wives has been murdered—and that’s a much worse crime than polygamy as far as the Oklahoma lawman is concerned. With some help from his wife, a psychiatrist who’s conducting interviews for the police, Milt digs into the tensions that existed among the plural family and various relatives and neighbors—and considers the possibility that the perpetrator may have come from outside the walls of the community . . . “One of today’s finest mystery writers.” —Carolyn Hart
