But even in that seclusion, even with an officer assigned to protect her, Andie's privacy has been violated. Someone is watching... Evan Markham's entire life has been a tug-of-war between what is and what could be. He is drawn to a life that is beyond his reach and emotions have clouded his judgment.

When enemies close in, a sudden turn of events leaves them both questioning. Where is God in all of this? Who is this enigmatic stranger who offers to help? They both know their lives are in danger. But what about their hearts?

Just when she thinks things couldn't get worse, trouble comes looking for Mona again. And trouble's name is Hallie.

Even as the dark clouds continue to roll in, a hope waits for both of them--if only they can catch their breath long enough to find it. "Morningsong is a beautifully written story of real people, living painful, joyful, complicated lives... This realistic portrayal of how messy our lives sometimes become shows readers how to find hope in the midst of loss, how to love the unlovable, how to forgive after trust is broken, and how to find God's strength when we've reached the end of our own. I loved it!"--Lynn Austin, author of Until We Reach Home

After losing everyone she loves, concert pianist Liesl Bower has nowhere to go but to escape into her music. Searching for the peace she usually finds in her concertos and sonatas, Liesl can't shake the feeling that she is being haunted by her past . . . and by someone following her. When she spots a familiar and eerie face in the audience of a concert she's giving for the president in Washington, DC, the scariest day of her life comes back to her with a flash. It has been fifteen years since Liesl watched her beloved Harvard music mentor assaulted on a dark night in Moscow and just as long since the CIA disclosed to her that he'd been spying for Russia. She had seen that man-that eerie face-the night Professor Devoe was attacked. And now he's back-and coming for her.

A full year of inspiring readings and reflections from the New Testament

A dead Elvis impersonator and a rival-turned-wooer are just a couple of Gabby St. Claire's problems in this thrilling sequel to "Hazardous Duty."

In the blank pages between Malachi and Matthew, the course of an entire nation was changed . . . His brother, the high priest Honiah, enjoyed the authority of the high priesthood, and all important decisions needed his approval. But it was Jason who was shaping the future of Jerusalem and with it, all Judea. He breathed in again, imagining that he could feel the wave of destiny impelling him forward toward his vision as he exhaled . . . The Greeks have taken over the world, but Jerusalem is still the same backwater city Jason has always known. He wants to help his hometown rise to a new age of prosperity and influence. If that means stretching the terms of the city's divine covenant, so be it. But how far is he willing to go to achieve Greek greatness for this Jewish city? It will take the willingness of a handful of Jews to die rather than violate the covenant in order to turn the tide back to God. Written by an internationally recognized expert in the period between the Testaments, Day of Atonement invites readers into Judea during the tumultuous years leading up to the Maccabean Revolt. It was this pivotal decade that reminded Jews of the centrality of the covenant to their national security and taught them that the covenant was worth dying for. The story is so foundational, it is still told every year at Hanukkah. The lessons learned during this turbulent time also shed light on just what was at stake in the ministry of Jesus, whose radical message seemed to threaten the covenant once again. Day of Atonement joins the perennially successful novels Pontius Pilate and The Flames of Rome by renowned historian Paul Maier on Kregel's premier list of captivating and historically accurate biblical novels.

"Help! My Family's Messed Up" is a compassionate guide for those living in a troubled household or recovering from broken homes, abuse, or other traumas in their families. Drawing from true, contemporary stories of those who have survived a family torn in two as well as biblical examples of dysfunctional families and how God helped them overcome adversity, "Help! My Family's Messed Up" explores the dynamics of a family at odds with itself and shows that with God there is hope for healing.

A secret room has been discovered in the chapel of the Bowery Mission. And what's hidden inside could change the world as we know it. When New Yorker Tom Bohannon uncovers an ancient cipher containing a dead language that has been lost in the sands of time, he doesn't fully comprehend the danger that's about to unfold. Though Tom and his team of ragtag scientists and historians want to decode the ancient text, there are others who don't want the cipher revealed. And they are prepared to kill to keep it hidden. From a market in 19th century Alexandria to an apartment in present-day New York to the tunnels beneath Jerusalem, the secret of the cipher has spanned the globe--and threatened the lives of everyone in its path. Will Tom be next? "I wasn't sure at times if I was reading a novel... or the newspaper. Except that The Sacred Cipher was a far more fascinating read. If you read one book this year, make it this one."--Wanda Dyson, best-selling author of The Shepherd's Fall, Abduction, and Obsession

Every week the offering plate is passed in churches, and every week members of the congregation meet it with varying levels of interest. Many people absentmindedly reach for their checkbooks, while others let the plate pass . . . again. For some, the weekly routine provides background music for exchanged whispers or reflection on where to eat lunch after the service. This pastor-tested, scriptural resource equips the pastor to draw the congregation's attention to the significance of what lies behind the offering--the spiritual act of stewardship. Fifty-two thematic Bible readings--one for each Sunday of the year--help the pastor lead the congregation into a deeper understanding of God's perspective on giving.
