Book Description
It's a privilege to grow up in the South, and not just because of the sweet tea. And with as many church buildings as coffee shops dotting the southern landscape, it's no wonder many use the terms "Christian" and "Southern" interchangeably. But are those two terms truly synonymous? Or is it possible that some Christians in the South have accepted some behaviors as "Christian" when they are, in fact, more "Southern" than biblical?Writing through the lenses of Scripture and his own experiences, with humor and refreshing honesty, Tims helps us see different ways Christians act Southern while thinking they are acting Christian, and how these behaviors are harmful to them, the church, the South, and the lost.

Book Description
2011 Retailers Choice Award winner! Rebecca never felt safe as a child. In 1969, her father, Robert Nichols, moved to Sellerstown, North Carolina, to serve as a pastor. There he found a small community eager to welcome him—with one exception. Glaring at him from pew number seven was a man obsessed with controlling the church. Determined to get rid of anyone who stood in his way, he unleashed a plan of terror that was more devastating and violent than the Nichols family could have ever imagined. Refusing to be driven away by acts of intimidation, Rebecca’s father stood his ground until one night when an armed man walked into the family’s kitchen . . . And Rebecca’s life was shattered. If anyone had a reason to harbor hatred and seek personal revenge, it would be Rebecca. Yet The Devil in Pew Number Seven tells a different story. It is the amazing true saga of relentless persecution, one family’s faith and courage in the face of it, and a daughter whose parents taught her the power of forgiveness.

In the South, it's better when the food is fried and the secrets kept buried... After the dead body of a beloved Cottonwood resident is found tangled up in an electric fence, Sheriff Kenni Lowry has a hunch that somethin' ain't right. Her investigation heats up with a fierce cook-off competition, a euchre game where the intel is sweeter than the brownies, and a decades old family recipe that may just be the proof in the pudding. The icing on the cake: Kenni is fighting an attraction to her recently sworn-in deputy sheriff, and election season is hot on her tail. When the killer comes after who she holds most dear, even her poppa's ghostly guidance might not be enough to keep her and her own out of the frying pan.
