Treeborne
"Janie Treeborne lives on an orchard at the edge of Elberta, Alabama, and in time, she has become its keeper. She tells the story of its people: of Hugh--her granddaddy--determined to preserve Elberta's legacy through his art; of his wife Maybelle, who shook the town when she became its first female postmaster, then again when she died a sudden and mysterious death; of her lover Lee Malone, a black orchardist and musician harvesting from a land where he is less than welcome; of the local legend Ricky Birdsong, who scored touchdown after touchdown, only to run headlong into tragedy"--
Something Worth Believing
Has modernity left your faith on shaky ground? If so, you're not alone. The Church has generally tried to accommodate modern ideas in one of two ways: either accepting them wholesale, leaving nothing but an empty faith, or else denying the ideas, requiring the believer to resort to sheer credulity. In the first of a two volume set, Caleb Johnson provides a defense for a thoroughly modern faith. Without giving ground, Johnson shows why Christians were wrong to root their faith in unquestioning acceptance of Scripture, and how disentangling faith from Scripture can result in a faith that is much more believable and much more satisfying: something truly worth believing.
Here Shall I Die Ashore
In the spring of 1621, Plymouth Colony sent STEPHEN HOPKINS to make the first visit to Wampanoag sachem Massasoit to present a red horseman’s coat as a gift and sign of friendship. For most ordinary Englishmen, venturing off into the depths of unexplored America would have been a once in a lifetime adventure: but not for Stephen. By the time he turned forty, he had already survived a hurricane, been shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle, been written into a Shakespearean play, witnessed the famine and abandonment of Jamestown Colony, and participated in the marriage of Pocahontas. He was once even sentenced to death! He got himself and his family onto the Pilgrims’ Mayflower, and helped found Plymouth Colony. He signed the Mayflower Compact, lodged the famous Squanto in his house, participated in the legendary Thanksgiving, and helped guide and govern the early colonists. Yet Stephen was just an ordinary man, with a wife, three sons, seven daughters, a small house, some farmland for his corn, and cows named Motley, Sympkins, Curled, and Red. These are the extraordinary adventures of an ordinary man.
