Book Description
AS HEARD ON RADIO 4 'Utterly wonderful' NINA STIBBE, author of Love, Nina Twenty hours have gone since I last wrote. I have been thinking of you. I shall think of you until I post this, and until you get it. Can you feel, as you read these words, that I am thinking of you now; aglow, alive, alert at the thought that you are in the same world, and by some strange chance loving me. In September 1943, Chris Barker was serving as a signalman in North Africa when he decided to brighten the long days of war by writing to old friends. One of these was Bessie Moore, a former work colleague. The unexpected warmth of Bessie's reply changed their lives forever. Crossing continents and years, their funny, affectionate and intensely personal letters are a remarkable portrait of a love played out against the backdrop of the Second World War. Above all, their story is a stirring example of the power of letters to transform ordinary lives.

Book Description
Dear Chris is a fictional correspondence between a college professor, nicknamed Dr. Mac, and a former student, Chris. Dr. Mac tackles real life theological and ethical questions that emerge from Chris's family life and his work as a newspaper reporter, questions that are typical of the concerns of many Christians today. Topics such as the death of a child, infertility, the character of God, the uniqueness of Jesus, and the choice of a career are treated from the context of Christian theology.

The narrative flows smoothly from and between complex issues in much the same way these issues confront us day to day.

Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching back, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her.
