Book Description
Liz Cassello is a veteran art teacher at Forest Place Middle School in Columbia, South Carolina. Despite her love of teaching and years of dedication to her school and her students, she is having a difficult time finding even minimal enthusiasm as she starts her twenty-eighth year. Retirement is looking pretty good since she finds little reward in her work and fears she no longer really makes a difference in the lives of her students. According to Liz, she is "no match for MTV, I-Pods, or reality television, and hates feeling irrelevant." An aging father and the marital problems of her dearest friend only add to her stress as Liz tries to cope with her own negativity and frustrations. When a scheduling error places Henry Maxwell in one of her honors classes Liz's indifference towards the ill-prepared and pitiful student seems contrary to all the principles she used to hold dear and she soon feels ashamed of her lack of compassion. Through the course of a school year, Liz discovers that working with Henry is just what she has needed to dispel the fears that she no longer matters as a teacher. While doing her best to help the struggling teen, she rediscovers all the reasons she chose to teach. Henry Maxwell's Gift is a story of caring, hope, and the need for every individual to feel valued.

Book Description
After witnessing the horrifying murder of her friend Tom Haley, Mallory Lowe, a cautious university mathematics professor, must emerge from her cocoon to become the gutsy and unpredictable woman she's always dreamed of being. Running on the guilt of a past family tragedy that she blames on herself, Mallory is determined to find Tom's now-missing daughter. Following the clues in a 300-year-old equation left by Tom, Mallory's search propels her into the tangled threads of a ruthless corporate entity known as Möbius, bent on controlling the world's most precious resource: fresh water. Along the way, Mallory is joined by CIA agent Lane McKenzie, who used Tom Haley as an operative to infiltrate Möbius and expose their corruption of government officials. Now he's using Mallory to do the same, but without her knowledge. Sinking deeper into a pit of questionable ethics, he shadows her as she is propelled along a perilous journey from the southwest United States through the breathtaking landscape of Switzerland and into the inner workings of a massive hydroelectric dam in Turkey. Caught between Möbius' inner circle and a renegade associate, Mallory solves the riddle of the centuries old mathematics equation-only to discover something more ominous and deadly in the process. Mallory must reignite her mathematical mind and again put her life at risk if she hopes to stop Möbius from unleashing this looming threat.

Book Description
What Would Jesus Do? It’s an excellent question. This time-honored book is the story of one church’s pledge to ask “What would Jesus do?” before making any decision, however small or large. For some, following Christ’s example brings great joy. For others, it causes misunderstanding, conflict, and suffering. In His Steps has a most unusual appeal to the Christian to follow in Christ’s steps, regardless of what others may do. Without a doubt, you’ll find this abridged and updated edition to be one of the most challenging yet entertaining books you have ever read. Now includes a special selection from the upcoming In His Place by Harry C. Griffith. When Pastor Long challenges his prominent but self-satisfied congregation to become a living force for Christ in their small North Georgia town, he is blindsided by personal trials. Responding to Christ’s command “As the Father has sent me, so I send you,” he tackles these difficult situations--and more--over a tumultuous week of trials and testing and ultimately learns (as he leads) what it means to walk In His Place.

Book Description
Although not always unswervingly, from antiquity until today, Christians have engaged in charity. As settings changed, compassion evolved, laying in place an ongoing mosaic of Christian ideas and institutions surrounding care. From the antique and medieval to the modern and contemporary, each age offers unique actors and insights into how compassion is viewed and achieved. We consider repeating motifs and novel appearances in the arc of Christian compassion which enlighten and inspire. Encountered on the journey are the formation and sacrifice of ancient Christians; an emphasis on virtues taught through sparing and sharing; the nascent social welfare of the Byzantine church; the sacralization and mobilization of a medieval church; innovative ideas from reformers who advance the role of the state; and modern movements in justice, peace, humanitarianism, mutual aid, and community development.
