contributed to their success.

details regarding important inventions that have changed the way people

Fathers and Sons Stand Fast
Douglas Bond
Reviews...
Great book for fathers and sons to go
through together. I find this book helps stimulate conversation and
does not encourage a "lecture" from father's, but actually encourages
dialogue. A great book! A great tool to help lines of communication to
stay open between fathers and sons.
Fathers & Sons Stand Fast in the
Way of Truth is a two-volume set containing 48 readings. These books
allow over a year of close fellowship between father and son, with the
goal of leading sons toward Christian manhood. Taking serious issues
seriously, yet promoting a joyful life of enjoying the pleasures of
God, these books show how, when a young man makes decisions about the
direction his life will take, the stakes are high. $22.50

The bestselling classic Point Man
encourages and equips Christian men to lead their families successfully
through hazards and ambushes like divorce, promiscuity, suicide, and
drug addiction. Men will find practical insight on topics such as a
father's influence, maintaining purity, and husband-and-wife teamwork.
In this war, renowned men's author Steve Farrar emphasizes that Jesus
Christ is looking for men who will not die, but live for their
families.
"There are a lot of
great books for Christian men on the market today, but this is
definitely one of the best. My husband attended a seminar where Steve
Farrar was the guest speaker, and that seminar changed my husband's
life. My husband came home with a whole new concept of what it means to
be the spiritual leader of a family. It helped him shape a whole new
identity that he'd never been able to conceptualize before. Steve
Farrar has a very powerful message for men. My husband and I highly
recommend all of his books. I even bought a copy of this book for my
brother-in-law for Christmas. Steve's wife Mary has also written a
similar book for women called Choices." $26.00

Snow-Blind
Catherine Farnes
Review...
In Snowblind, Dakota and
his sister Jacy have helped their dad with his business, Back Trails
Wilderness Tours, as long as they can remember. Their latest clients,
Trevor Wheatley and his teenage kids Amberlee and Cullen, are rich,
snobbish, and a bit reckless – nothing the Craig family
hasn’t dealt with before. But then the real reason for the
Wheatleys’ visit comes out – they want to purchase Back
Trails, and Dakota’s dad actually seems to be considering the
idea. Faced with the possibility of losing the only life he’s
ever known, Dakota struggles with being the man his father wants, while
his dad contemplates a move that seems foolhardy. $13.10
Dana's Valley
Jannette Oke & Laurel Oke
Logan
Reviews...
"Very unlike typical Janette Oke, Dana's Valley is a
wonderful modern-day story of a family struggling with the illness and
death of their child. Oke and daughter Laurel have a way of making the
reader empathetic with each and every family member, be it the angry,
resentful older brother, or the exhausted, heartsick mother. The
journey that the Walsh family takes through fear, denial, acceptance,
and, finally, resignation will keep you riveted throughout. I could not
put the book down."
"I thought this book was very realistic and
thought-provoking. It weaves an incredible story of faith, anger, love,
death, and God's provision through the struggle of a young girl with
lukemia. There are several parts in the book where I was crying so hard
I couldn't turn the page. I think the authors did a great job of
personalizing the story; and they made me feel like I was the one
watching my sister die. I don't agree with the reviews that it wrapped
up to neatly in the end; I think the reactions of the family members
were normal. It would not be uncommon for someone to be angry at God
for taking someone they love, and then realizing that God can use all
situations for good. While this book is very sad, there is an important
lesson to be learned within its pages." $14.95
Wings like a Dove
Christine Farenhorst
Reviews...
"Jeanne d'Albret, born in 1528, is the only daughter
of the King and Queen of Navarre. Standing with her beloved Huguenots,
Jeanne steps onto the battlefield of history during the tumultuous
years of the Reformation (1517-1559). As deadly political events swirl
around her tiny Kingdom of Navarre, Queen Jeanne is forced to choose:
Will she hide the fleeing Huguenots under the very nose of Catherine de
Medicis's henchmen or save her own life? The Chosen Daughters
series highlights the lives of ordinary women who by God's grace
accomplish extraordinary things. Recommended for ages 8 to 12."
"It is the early 1500s, and one little Princess is
coping with the hardship of learning to be royal: separation from
parents, being controlled in all her actions, no friends, and a lot of
loneliness. Her Queen Mama favors the Reformers, but her King Papa
hates them. It is all hard for Jeanne to understand. And then she finds
that, like all princesses, she is a pawn to be married off for
political reasons. Jeanne’s tiny, alpine Kingdom of Navarre sits
at a Basque crossroads, and bears great military and political
importance. But Jeanne is special, not just in the eyes of her father
and his friends and adversaries, but also in the eyes of the Lord. She
stands at a religious crossroads, and with a bold hand for one so
young, Jeanne throws herself totally on the Lord and dedicates her land
to helping the persecuted Huguenots." $18.00
