Book Description
'Houston, we have a problem.' No pilot wants to hear these dreaded words, as they indicate imminent danger. Likewise, no Christian should want to hear this phrase either. Whether in a plane or a pew, though, problems are sometimes unavoidable. But the way these unexpected situations are handled is what matters. In Life at 35,000 Feet, Renda Brumbeloe, retired pilot and devout Christian, relates flying a plane to the Christian's spiritual journey. He has found that flying a Boeing 727 is really not so different from trying to follow the straight-and-narrow path of a devoted Christian. If you've ever wanted to learn about aviation and desire to live a life pleasing to God, try living Life at 35,000 Feet. 'The veteran pilot author of this helpful volume writes from knowledge in both the art of aviation and the craft of successful living. Read and enjoy the excitement and adventure, the challenges and uncertainties of living on the edge. Your faith will be stretched and affirmed, and your mind will be acclimated to new ways of thinking about your own spiritual journey.' -Dr. Loren Gresham, President, Southern Nazarene University

Book Description
Real-life flight attendant Heather Poole has written a charming and funny insider’s account of life and work in the not-always-friendly skies. Cruising Attitude is a Coffee, Tea, or Me? for the 21st century, as the author parlays her fifteen years of flight experience into a delightful account of crazy airline passengers and crew drama, of overcrowded crashpads in “Crew Gardens” Queens and finding love at 35,000 feet. The popular author of “Galley Gossip,” a weekly column for AOL’s award-winning travel website Gadling.com, Poole not only shares great stories, but also explains the ins and outs of flying, as seen from the flight attendant’s jump seat.

Book Description
Martin Arkenhout found his true calling on a lonely Florida highway -- with a sharp rock to the skull of an injured friend. He didn't just take the boy's life; he went on to live it. When that life became too risky, he found another, and another, changing his name, papers and style at will, until he chose the wrong life -- a scholarly thief on the run from the determined and troubled John Costa. The two men will meet, and there will be murder. But there is something much worse: the sweet seduction of taking another's life to be your own. Chillingly suspenseful, brilliantly executed and truly disturbing, Taking Lives is an entertainment to make you think and shiver.

Book Description
PLEASE READ THIS! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! Okay, maybe that was a bit melodramatic, but I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit melodramatic at the moment. Here's the deal. My name is Brooklyn Pierce, I'm fifteen years old, and I am decisionally challenged. Seriously, I can't remember the last good decision I made. I can remember plenty of crappy ones though. Including that party I threw when my parents were out of town that accidentally burned down a model home. Yeah, not my finest moment, for sure. But see, that's why I started a blog. To enlist readers to make my decisions for me. That's right. I gave up. Threw in the towel. I let someone else decide which book I read for English. And whether or not I accepted an invitation to join the debate team from that cute-in-a-dorky-sort-of-way guy who gave me the Heimlich maneuver in the cafeteria. (Note to self: chew the melon before swallowing it.) I even let them decide who I dated! Well, it turns out there are some things in life you simply can't choose or have chosen for you—like who you fall in love with. And now everything's more screwed up than ever. But don't take my word for it. Read the book and decide for yourself. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream in frustration. Or maybe that's just me. After all, it's my life.
