The gospels are dramatic, wild, and wet -- set in a rich maritime culture on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus' first disciples were ragtag fishermen, and Jesus' messages and miracles teem with water, fish, fishermen, net-breaking catches, sea crossings, boat-sinking storms, and even a walk on water. Because this world is foreign and distant to us, we've missed much about the disciples' experiences and about following Jesus -- until now. Leslie Leyland Fields -- a well-known writer, respected biblical exegete, and longtime Alaskan fisherwoman -- crosses the waters of time and culture to take us out on the Sea of Galilee, through a rugged season of commercial fishing with her family in Alaska, and through the waters of the New Testament.You'll be swept up in a fresh experience of the gospels, traveling with the fishermen disciples from Jesus' baptism to the final miraculous catch of fish -- and also experiencing Leslie's own efforts to follow Christ out on her own Alaskan sea.

A Fierce Love
By Shanks, Shauna
Love is easy to give when you are getting it back. Are we still called to God's plan of how to love when we are getting none in return? Shauna Shanks's brave journey through obedience reveals the outcome of when we dare to follow God's ludicrous outline for love as described in 1 Corinthians 13. Wrecked with news of her husband's affair and his request for a divorce, Shauna finds herself urgently faced with a decision. Does she give up and divorce her husband and move on, or does she try to fight for her marriage? The former choice seems to contradict God's plan for how to love, such as "love never gives up," "love is patient," and "love is kind." Taking God at His word and assuming the love chapter was really meant to be followed literally word by word, she not only finds herself falling in love with her spouse again, but also falling in love with Jesus, which changes everything.

Can't Nothing Bring Me Down
By Keeling, Ida
Can't Nothing Bring Me Down is the memoir of 101-year-old, world-record-holding runner Ida Keeling. Miss Ida, as she's known throughout her Bronx community, isn't your typical runner. Her fierce independence helped her through the Depression and the Civil Rights movement. But her greatest trials were yet to come. Ida's two sons were brutally murdered. Justice was never found. Ida felt like she didn't have the strength to carry on and she couldn't hope anymore. But encouraged by her daughter, Ida put on her first pair of running shoes at the age of sixty-seven and began to chase the paralyzing sorrow from her heart. Running gave light and new energy to Ida, and since her first race nearly thirty-five years ago, she's kept running and never looked back. Holding the world record for the fastest time in the 60-meter dash for the 95-99 age group, Ida isn't slowing down. Now she gives us a clear picture of what it means to overcome obstacles. Ida Keeling shares her inspirational story about growing up as a child of immigrants during the Depression and later raising four children as a single mother. She offers time-tested truths gathered from a lifetime of watching a nation change and from a life-long faith in Jesus. "Every night, I thank him for my many blessings, for his guidance, for his protection, " Ida says, "And every night he tells me, 'Miss Ida, you just keep on, because I ain't done with you yet. "

Boss Up!

She has a deep passion for helping women of all walks of life gain the confidence and skills to tap into their ambition and achieve success in their own business endeavors.In Boss Up! Lindsay helps women gain the confidence to know that having ambition doesn't make them bad mothers or wives.

And Lindsay doesn't just do this through commiserating but, instead, through giving women the tools for change. Using the lessons she learned on her own path to success, Lindsay shares real, solid business principles in four distinct sections that readers will encounter on the journey to entrepreneurship: defining the brand of you, learning to use the un-sales tactic, building on authenticity, and understanding the truth about hard work. Boss Up! will help women put businesses on the map and ideas they've previously only dreamed about into the marketplace. It will help them overcome their fears and guilt to find a fulfillment that changes them and their families for the better.
