Book Description
He's a tempting heap of Texas trouble... Mercy Spenser promised her friend and roommate she'd spend her vacation in west Texas for a charitable mission—she didn't agree to the oppressive heat, massive spiders, or the rowdy cantina next door drowning out her gospel singing. She's not the type to sit idly by, so when she clashes with the sexy-as-hell man who runs the place, her temper is hot enough to nearly burn down the entire town. Despite refusing to turn down his jukebox and inviting Miss Mercy to leave his cantina alone, Hunter Wilson can't get that gospel singer with the ice-blue eyes out of his mind. Finding her again in their tiny town isn't the problem. Convincing her that he's interested—well, that's another story. But if Mercy will give Hunter one more chance to show his true feelings, they just might find the love of a lifetime. Praise for Carolyn Brown: "Brown's characters easily inspire readers to care what happens to them."—Publishers Weekly for Bride For a Day "A sweet story about building family out of what life hands you."—Kirkus Reviews for Talk Cowboy to Me "Fresh, funny, and sexy tale filled with likable, down-to-earth characters."—Booklist for Love Drunk Cowboy Previously published as An Old Love's Shadow.

Abandoned by the Church
Author: Stevie Rutledge
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1450015751
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Abandoned By The Church reveals that the author, who as a child was raised behind the scenes of the church with its obvious flaws and issues, found it extremely difficult to fully embrace her relationship with God. Through its pages, Rutledge shares her thoughts and challenges questioning the nature of conservative and traditional Christianity and the understanding of Gods love and Gods word emphasized yet often contradicted by the actions of the so-called judgmental Church Foke around her. We as Christians must learn to accept all who enter the church doors without judgment of gender, skin color, attire, and body hygiene and personality conflicts. We must learn to love others as God loves us despite our religious conflicts or beliefs. Otherwise the church doors will become a revolving vicious cycle of unresolved issues and a mockery to the rest of the world, Rutledge expressed in the book. As Rutledge shares her life experiences and often heart breaking journeys traveled due to her issues with the church, readers will be captivated by her strength and determination to understand Christianity and the true function of the church without the stigma of fear and judgment but the realization of freedom. This book is a clear indictment toward the church, the ineffective religious processes currently set in place and the questionable leadership assigned. Abandoned By The Church will undoubtedly force you to view the church differently, but more importantly, it will inspire you to reevaluate your relationship with God, His believers and the non believers as well. Rutledge wholeheartedly believes that all people were created with a divine plan in mind. Ultimately, this book calls for a dramatic reform of the church.
