Book Description
In The Crimson Path of Honor, the Civil War is over, and a violent period known as the Indian Wars is erupting. Ignoring the danger, a feisty young woman from Boston rebels against her tyrannical father’s plans to marry her off to a family friend, and she seizes an opportunity to go west to teach. On the way to the Oregon Territory, her stagecoach is attacked, and she is captured by a marauding band of Lakota (Sioux) Indians who call the Rocky Mountains home. Accepting her perilous situation, the young woman courageously confronts the daily hardships inherent in early Native American life. At first treated like an outcast, she eventually adapts to her circumstances and comes to respect the camaraderie of the Indians, even falling in love with her captor. Over time, she begins to challenge her abductor’s traditional views on bloodletting and violence as the path of honor. Torn by her inability to justify her growing feelings for her captor in a culture of violence, she continually wonders why God has abandoned her in such a desolate place. “M.B. Tosi has done it again. This is the historical novel at its best—realistic, filled with tough issues against a background of conflict and unrest.” —Jim Langford, Director Emeritus of University of Notre Dame Press

Book Description
After the Rungan warriors decimate the Lord invaders, they must decide what to do next. Knowing the Spears sent them to die, their next move seems obvious: take back Burunga and liberate their fellow Rungans from King Robert's betrayal. As they march back to the palace, they find several weapons storehouses and abandoned towns, all left in haste during the boulder slide. The Rungans lay down their primitive weapons, trading them for the rocket launchers and guns the Spears denied them. Leaving behind reinforcements to train, Colm continues his march to the Royal Palace. Once there, they're greeted with a triumphant welcome from King Robert and his officers. But behind the scenes, they again plot to destroy the Rungans out of fear of retribution. Though many on the council stick up for the warriors and regard them as heroes, their voices are drowned out by King Robert. He plans a ceremony of honor where the Spears will take out the remaining Rungans. Colm is not fooled. He sees through their ceremony, asked to leave all weapons outside, and plots a counter-attack. He and the warriors, now confident and strong from their victory, are ready to fight to save their country and their people. In a final stand, they surround the Royal Palace and use the weapons they collected to destroy those inside. Leaving only a few alive, King Robert is bloody and broken, but questioned and held accountable for his betrayal. His ally in the Palace, Lynzo Mesfin, tells Colm a harrowing secret: his parents are alive. The president has been kept in a Dumpster since King Robert betrayed him. Colm and his family are taken to meet him, but the reunion is tainted by Robert's torture-- the president, Colm's father, believes the return of his children to be a trick to get him to comply. But through persistence, they finally convince him. Weakened by the imprisonment, the president calls Colm before the warriors he led so valiantly in battle. Over the sound of their cheers, Colm is sworn in before them, as the new president of Burunga.

Book Description
So many Christians today- unsure of who they are, have settled for a version of themselves that’s defined by society. They’ve missed the glorious adventure of what it means to discover who God says they are and desires them to be. RADIANT is for anyone who’s ever been told that it’s better to hide than shine. It’s for the ones who've let fear pull a blanket over their faith. It’s for those who've held back, but yearn to break free. It’s for all the men and women who've wanted to step into more but have been stuck- questioning whether or not the world really needs their light. If this sounds familiar, then RADIANT is for you. RADIANT starts by examining the areas where the light within you has been under attack and how the truth of your identity in Christ sparks the flame you need to shine. Join author Peyton Hoffman as she examines what it means to learn your true identity in Christ, become radiant, and keep your light burning in a world that’s growing increasingly dark. Incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, testimonies, questions for individual reflection, prayers, and declarations, Peyton leads you back to Jesus to spark a fresh fire within your heart and fan the flame of your faith. There’s a remnant rising, on fire with the radiance of the glory of God. It’s time to start living into all you were created to be. It’s time to be unafraid to shine!

Though life is momentarily calm, Abigail misses a Philadelphia friend she had hoped to marry. As the American rebellion begins growing, he joins a militia and vanishes. With war on the horizon, Abigails parents die in a heartbreaking accident, and she struggles to live alone. Her fears increase as local Mohawk folk hero, Joseph Brant, joins the British in terrorizing nearby villages. As the Revolutionary War officially begins, Abigail is forced to tackle lifes challenges head-on, even the possibility of her own death. Although mocked and plotted against, Abigail prevails and finds love in the most unexpected place. M.B. Tosi begins a new series with The Broken Violin, an exciting story of the Revolutionary War. As with all of her books, this one is alive with adventure, genuine history, difficult decisions and faith. Enjoy! Jim Langford, Director Emeritus of University of Notre Dame Press
