Deputy
Benjamin Patil is the one to find the infant girl--hours old, abandoned
in a field. When the mother ecan't be located, Ben and his wife, Abbi,
seem like the perfect couple to serve as foster parents.

theories are just crazy ideas people with too much free time make up.
Aren't they? No one is really making plans to take over the government
or find ways to eliminate entire groups of people. At least that's what
Billy and Sarah Roth had always thought. Until now.
Information
Sarah decodes from what should have been a simple piece of trash leads
her to believe someone really is making plans to eliminate a large
portion of the population. Including her. Before she and Billy can
decide what--if anything--they should do with the information...

Riveting Race against the Clock to Save a Young Woman's Life.
A
storm the size of Texas brews when Gloria Powell and Kai Chang meet in a
Dallas hotel. They have come to discuss the future of Lily, the
daughter Gloria adopted from China and the sister Kai hopes to reclaim.
Kai is a doctor who had to give up her little sister during the Cultural
Revolution and has since discovered that an inherited genetic defect
may be waiting to fatally strike Lily.
Gloria's
relationship with her daughter is tattered and strained, and the
arrival of Kai, despite the woman's apparent good intentions, makes
Gloria fearful....
The
book Son of God is a tie-in with the major motion picture of the same
title, slated for wide theatrical release (through 20th-Century Fox) on
February 28, 2014. Like the movie, the book possesses an epic scope,
providing a panoramic picture of first-century Judea as it recounts the
events and reveals the meaning of Jesus's life, death, and
resurrection.
Though
based on New Testament accounts, including the four Gospels as well as
the book of Acts, Son of God reads like a contemporary novel, delving
deeply into the character of Jesus and the personalities and motives all
of those who surround him...

We all find ourselves living with the harsh reality that
life is hard and life hurts.
We continually demand that life be fair,
yet we’re well aware that it’s not.
Life
can leave you at a loss for words. It has a way of suddenly casting you
into the darkness of doubt. In these desperate moments, you find your
soul being drained dry . . . you’re empty . . . and faith just doesn’t
seem to matter anymore. Faith loses out when you realize that God could
have done something . . . and He did nothing....
