A Soft Place to Fall
Liz Flaherty

Early McGrath didn’t want freedom from her thirty-year marriage to Nash, but when it was forced upon her, she did the only thing she knew to do—she went home to the Ridge to reinvent herself. Only what is someone who’s taken care of people her whole life supposed to do when no one needs her anymore? 

Even as the threads of her life unravel, she finds new ones— reconnecting with the church of her childhood, building the quilt shop that has been a long-time dream, and forging a new friendship with her former husband. The definition of freedom changes when it’s combined with faith. 

Can Early and Nash find a Soft Place to Fall?

"Flaherty’s novel is a magnificent portrait of family, mercy and unfailing grace."  ~ Kim Ford ~ Read the Entire Review HERE

A Soft Place to Fall is available now from Pelican Book Group / Harbour Light Books in Ebook & Print!

The Wisdom Tree
Mary Manners

Sometimes the last thing we think we need is exactly what God has planned 

After the death of his parents, Jake Samuels has enough on his plate—including a fledgling church to lead and a mischievous younger brother to raise. The last thing he needs is a rambunctious woman to contend with. 

Carin O'Malley is dealing with the death of her brother and a new job as an English teacher at East Ridge Middle School where Corey Samuels reigns as King of Chaos. The last thing she needs is to fall in love with a man...especially a handsome and complicated preacher like Corey’s brother Jake. 

But when Corey's antics toss Carin and Jake together, the two must draw from God’s wisdom to find refuge in His perfect plan for them.

"Mary has crafted a novel that's rich with faith and filled with delightful characters."  ~ Deena Peterson ~ Read the Entire Review HERE

The Wisdom Tree is available now from Pelican Book Group / White Rose Publishing in Ebook & Print!

We sincerely hope you enjoy this month's issue as we strive to....

Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. 
Tell everyone about the amazing things He does.   
              
~ Psalms 96:3
