Product Information

Which is why redemption books can be so popular. People can live vicariously through a character’s emotions and experiences, leaving them with valuable lessons that can be applied in real life.

I don’t feel any angst because the heroine’s choice is sensible and she’s not in love with her husband at all. At. All. No matter what the author says. If you read carefully you can see she loved om all the time. Her hurt is because she failed to have a perfect marriage, not because she lost the man she loved. He was a filler. Easily the shyest Wallflower, Evangeline Jenner stands to become the wealthiest, once her inheritance comes due. Because she must first escape the clutches of her unscrupulous relatives, Evie has approached the rake Viscount St. Vincent with a most outrageous proposition: marriage! Writing My Wrongs" is the story of what came next. During his nineteen-year incarceration, seven of which were spent in solitary confinement, Senghor discovered literature, meditation, self-examination, and the kindness of others tools he used to confront the demons of his past, forgive the people who hurt him, and begin atoning for the wrongs he had committed. Upon his release at age thirty-eight, Senghor became an activist and mentor to young men and women facing circumstances like his. His work in the community and the courage to share his story led him to fellowships at the MIT Media Lab and the Kellogg Foundation and invitations to speak at events like TED and the Aspen Ideas Festival.A view of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge near Taos, New Mexico.

Leon Uris was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Jewish-American parents Wolf William and Anna (Blumberg) Uris. His father, a Polish-born immigrant, was a paperhanger, then a storekeeper. William spent a year in Palestine after World War I before entering the United States. He derived his surname from Yerushalmi, meaning "man of Jerusalem." (His brother Aron, Leon Uris' uncle, took the name Yerushalmi) "He was basically a failure," Uris later said of his father. "He went from failure to failure." Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice. This is basically a Christian soap opera. I can appreciate what Kingsbury and Smalley are trying to accomplish through this book - I have been encouraged in a few aspects of my faith, but I am not the sort to take a lot of life lessons from fiction. So all I am left with is, was this a good story? Kari's father was a bit like how I'd think of Karen Kingsbury's co-author, Gary Smalley, a devoted Christian, husband and a loving father. It was lovely to see him pour his heart into loving and praying for his children. His words of wisdom are ones I will carry in my heart for years.Meanwhile, the fact that Eva has chosen to live off the reservation and be part of the white man's world has not always gone down too well with her Native American community in New Mexico's Taos Pueblo. I love that the consequences of disobeying the principles of God are driven home throughout the story. It causes you to stop, reflect and examine your heart and your personal walk as a believer in Christ. But. There’s a but. The piece of ass has a stalker ex who’s not very sane and is actually mad at the professor for stealing his gf. Everything changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried and shameful secret—one that nobody else in town would ever suspect—and asks Sage for an extraordinary favor. If she says yes, she faces not only moral repercussions, but potentially legal ones as well. With her own identity suddenly challenged, and the integrity of the closest friend she’s ever had clouded, Sage begins to question the assumptions and expectations she’s made about her life and her family. When does a moral choice become a moral imperative? And where does one draw the line between punishment and justice, forgiveness and mercy? Richly detailed characters with traumatic pasts are woven together with biblical truths and redemptive themes. . . . This is an amazing, beautifully written tale to be savored and pondered and shared with others." Romantic Times

Marie-Laure lives in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where her father works. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. God. He lets us know that the sinners must pay. Always. With interests. And good heroines get all. Even if they make wrong choices, he’s there to correct them. And make it right again. In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. And I'm getting a little uncomfortable with the continual assertion by the main character that seems to follows this pattern: God wouldn't let it happen this way unless he was eventually going to work it out for me.REDEMPTION is the first in a new contemporary series starring a Native American Sheriff's Deputy who is willing to put it all on the line to find her missing friend.
