NEW Releases:
An Ember of Hope by Amy Oberg Amy Oberg was living a seemingly invincible life. When tragedy strikes, an undiscovered void appears, and her emptiness hits rock bottom. Her journey through the depths of anger, betrayal and guilt leave her with only one ember of hope. She was a typical bulletproof kid who was living life on a whim. She had a childhood that most kids dream of; her parents loved her around the clock. They were always there to back her up or bail her out with time, support or money. With a solid foundation, she never realized that something was actually forever. She had always been able to fix things no matter what—there was no life sentence, just a way for it to be “over.” (top)	Through Endless Gates by Orv Manke Orv Manke was adopted and lived with his foster parents until he joined the Navy Seabee Reserve at eighteen. He eventually was stationed in Guam which was the home base for rotation to Korea and areas of the Far East, an area he would visit often as a business man. When he was transferred to 3M company’s International Division, his new position involved travel to various parts of the world. In the mid 1960s, he was transferred to Bangkok, Thailand, where he was, technically, responsible for all of the Far East and Southeast Asia. Follow Orv’s footsteps as he takes you on a journey you will not forget. (top)
A Leader and His Word A Scriptural Guide for Executives by Gerry Olson This book is designed to be a quick read for busy executives. It aligns the Scriptures with the issues we face every day at work. In one of Charles Schulz’s classic Peanuts cartoons, Snoopy is depicted on his back, lying on top of his dog house looking up at the sky and bemoaning his fate. “It’s just not right” he says, “people expect too much of me.” As you move to the second frame, he continues to complain, “It’s just not fair. It’s unreasonable.” His complaining continues through the third frame and finally in the last frame, he seems to have come to terms with his situation and says: “It’s tough being the head beagle!” (top)	Points of Departure: 7 Challenges to the American Evangelical Church by Jim Thomson "I love the Church. It’s only right and appropriate that I should, after all, since Jesus commanded us to love each other. However, as much as I love her—should I insert here that some of my best friends are Christians?—I have become increasingly troubled about the condition in which she exists today. I’m concerned about us, first and foremost—regardless of how we tally the numbers of our gatherings—because we’re failing in some essentially biblical ways in the value system that undergirds what we do and, strangely, seem to be unaware of it. I believe the Church is in need of a sweeping transformation." Jim Thomson (top)
