The Truth About Jesus
by RALPH GOOD
Understanding the incredible significance of what Jesus Christ accomplished for us on the cross is essential. It holds the key to overcoming our deepest struggles. Without this knowledge, we are susceptible to deception by false teachers who cunningly disguise themselves as messengers of God. Embracing the truth about Jesus and His gift of salvation opens the door to a Christ-centered life, leading to an overflow of blessings from God.
Authority plays a pivotal role in Christ’s church, and it is crucial to grasp what the Bible teaches about it in order to avoid falling prey to those misusing authority to manipulate and control us. The good news is that Jesus has given us authority over the forces of darkness, empowering us to take charge of our lives. Understanding, The truth About Jesus and the Christ-centered Life, equips us to rise above and conquer.
Waterfall
Christian Romantic Mystery
by Linda K. Rodante
f you love a good whodunit and romance…
A dead body, a flood, and a boy’s rescue. Can Annalisa Carabelle keep the boy safe while racing to discover a killer before it’s too late?
“This (mystery) kicks off with an intense water rescue and…kept me on my toes all the way to the end…I loved Anna and Richard together…and the romantic tension between them.” Meez Carrie, Reading is My Superpower
All Annalisa Carabelle wants is a successful summer season for the bed-and-breakfast she co-owns. She never expected the flood, the boy who needed rescuing, or the man who came from nowhere to help. The dead body? Well, the wound to the head proved it had nothing to do with do with the deluge.
Richard Jordan’s plans for the summer include as much scrambling up waterfalls as possible. He needs the adrenaline rush because life has proven routine, even pointless. But both the woman and the boy called him a hero, and maybe the dead body is a wake-up call. Life might be worth living if he and this intriguing woman can find the killer and make sure he doesn’t kill again.
But they’ve got too many suspects, and even the police are baffled. With the family protecting the killer, he might just get away for good, unless they force his hand—and stay alive while they are doing it.
“Waterfall is a fast-paced mystery…Rodante’s artistic brush draws readers into waterfall scenes that evoke awe, power, and a sense of danger (intensifying) at every turn. (It’s also) a beautiful story of healing and redemption.” Valerie Banfield, Award-winning author of While I Count the Stars
