NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two sisters must learn from each other’s strengths and trust in the redeeming power of love in a touching new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. The Lakey sisters are perfect opposites. After their mother died and their father was lost in grief, Willa had no choice but to raise her sister, Harper, and their brother, Lucas. Then, as an adult, she put her own life on hold to nurse Harper through a terrifying illness. Now that Harper is better and the sisters are living as roommates, Willa has realized her dream of running her own bakery and coffee shop, bringing her special brand of caretaking to the whole Oceanside community. Harper, on the other hand, is always on the go. Overcoming a terrible illness has given her a new lease on life, and she does not intend to waste it. When Harper announces her plan to summit Mount Rainier, Willa fears she may be pushing herself too far. Harper, for her part, urges Willa to stop worrying and do something outside of her comfort zone—like taking a chance on love with a handsome new customer. Sean O’Malley is as charming as he is intriguing—a freelance photographer whose assignments take him to the ends of the earth. Soon Willa’s falling for him in a way that is both exciting and terrifying. But life has taught Willa to hedge her bets, and she wonders whether the potential heartache is worth the risk. Life has more challenges in store for them all. But both sisters will discover that even in the darkest moments, family is everything.

Book Description
After midnight on December 10, 1964, in Ferriday, Louisiana, African American Frank Morris awoke to the sound of breaking glass. Outside his home and shoe shop, standing behind the shattered window, Klansmen tossed a lit match inside the store, now doused in gasoline, and instantly set the building ablaze. A shotgun pointed to Morris’s head blocked his escape from the flames. Four days later Morris died, though he managed in his last hours to describe his attackers to the FBI. Frank Morris’s death was one of several Klan murders that terrorized residents of northeast Louisiana and Mississippi, as the perpetrators continued to elude prosecution during this brutal era in American history. In Devils Walking: Klan Murders along the Mississippi in the 1960s, Pulitzer Prize finalist and journalist Stanley Nelson details his investigation—alongside renewed FBI attention—into these cold cases, as he uncovers the names of the Klan’s key members as well as systemized corruption and coordinated deception by those charged with protecting all citizens. Devils Walking recounts the little-known facts and haunting stories that came to light from Nelson’s hundreds of interviews with both witnesses and suspects. His research points to the development of a particularly virulent local faction of the Klan who used terror and violence to stop integration and end the advancement of civil rights. Secretly led by the savage and cunning factory worker Red Glover, these Klansmen—a handpicked group that included local police officers and sheriff’s deputies—discarded Klan robes for civilian clothes and formed the underground Silver Dollar Group, carrying a silver dollar as a sign of unity. Their eight known victims, mostly African American men, ranged in age from nineteen to sixty-seven and included one Klansman seeking redemption for his past actions. Following the 2007 FBI reopening of unsolved civil rights–era cases, Nelson’s articles in the Concordia Sentinel prompted the first grand jury hearing for these crimes. By unmasking those responsible for these atrocities and giving a voice to the victims’ families, Devils Walking demonstrates the importance of confronting and addressing the traumatic legacy of racism.

Book Description
This is a different type of devotional. It is different in that you will engage with the same scripture and its larger context for 5 consecutive days. It is different in that at the end of each week, you will have an opportunity to reflect over the past week and look forward by putting something the Lord revealed to you in your day-to-day life. It is also different in that at the end of every 4 weeks, you will practice the ancient spiritual discipline called Consolations and Desolations. For an entire year. Another difference is that this is not tied to specific date. With the exception of the seasons of Lent and Advent, you can jump around as you feel led. Over the course of 4 weeks, the format is as follows: Week One - Old Testament text Week Two - Psalm Week Three - Gospel text Week Four - Epistle text

Book Description
Picture it, Germany, 1942, toward the end of World War II. Major Helen Travis, a young American Army nurse, has been chosen by an unknown person to be killed. Reason? He or she could be jealous of Major Travis’s ability to take command of critical situations, dealing with them with dedication, determination, and compassion. Then again, it could be as simple as the unknown person’s mission to rid the world of one more woman. Perhaps the unknown person has no reason at all. Major Travis endures being captured by the Germans as well as being tortured almost to the point of death. Is this part of the unknown person’s plot to be rid of her? Does she survive the torture at the hands of the Germans only to be killed by an evil person? Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to read the book and find out. If you choose to accept this mission, you’ll be giving Major Travis the encouragement she needs to survive, and you’ll also be enabling her best friend, Major Riley Dunkirk, an Australian physician, a chance to become the knight in shining armor that charges in and saves the day . . . and also gives him a chance to sweep the girl away.
