Book Description
Gem was unhappy. But she remembered times when she was happy. Those were times when she had had the man of her dreams. He was everything to her and he had given her love like she had never had it before. She thought this love was going to last forever, but then she got pregnant and that changed everything. He had previously told her he didn't want a child, but she had thought that once he found out, his love for her would prevail and they would be happy forever. But she was wrong. Now fifteen years later he was back and he told her that in order for everything to be as they previously were, she would have to correct the mistake she had made in the past. Gem was now obsessed with him and was now willing to do whatever it took to get him back into her life, even if it meant committing the ultimate crime...murder. Even if it meant killing Jimmy, her one and only son, the one she thought was the reason for her unhappiness.

My Father's Workshop
Author: James Phillips aka Professor Know-How
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1643494988
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
What if the heavens were to open and, amid all the grandeur of God's Creation, you found yourself in a one-on-one conversation with God? Would you wonder if this was a dream? In what could have been a tragic accident, Jimmy, a precocious eleven-year-old boy, is about to experience the ultimate odyssey of a guided tour of the Creator's workshop. Jimmy, now a grown-up, shares his experience with kids by unlocking the secret inner workings of the gadgets they love and use every day. He does this in a special hands-on science clubhouse called My Father's Workshop. Unfortunately, many young people today cite science as the reason for not believing. For too long, these children have been the target of an agenda to remove God from their young lives, an agenda carried out by science education in our public schools. This brainwashing has mostly gone unchallenged, until now. My Father's Workshop is a truly original and tenderhearted story finely tuned to a child's faith and curiosity. It is an intricately-woven tapestry that combines the science of Genesis with God's perfect love and His plan for salvation. It is a Bible study and a science lesson rolled into one. Like many stories that have happy endings, you might want to keep some tissue handy for an occasional tear or two. Click on any of the links below to access this title's listings!

The Wedding Chapel

Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 031034333X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Dress comes The Wedding Chapel. A lonely wedding chapel built as a tribute to lost love just might hold the long-awaited secret to hope and reconciliation. For sixty years, the wedding chapel has stood silent and empty. Retired football hall-of-famer Jimmy “Coach” Westbrook built the chapel by hand, stone by stone, for his beautiful and beloved Collette Greer, whom he lost so many years ago. The chapel is a sanctuary for his memories, a monument to true love, and a testament to his survival of the deepest pain and loss. Photographer Taylor Branson left her hometown of Heart’s Bend, Tennessee, to make a new life for herself in New York. She had lots to run away from, not least of all a family history of broken promises and broken dreams. Love catches Taylor off guard when she falls for Jack Forester, a successful advertising executive, and their whirlwind romance leads to an elopement—then to second guesses. Jack, in spite of his very real love for Taylor, is battling his own demons and struggles to show her his true self and the depths of his love for her. Taking a photography assignment in Heart’s Bend, Taylor is thrown back into a past of family secrets buried deep beneath the sands of time. When Taylor and Coach’s journeys collide, they each rediscover the heartbeat of their own dreams as they learn that the love they long to hold is well worth the wait.
