And if she is ever in doubt, Nathan's father reminds her frequently.Knowing Lydie is "between" jobs again, the local doctor asks her to fill in at the front desk for a few months. This gives Lydie time to figure out how she's going to say goodbye to Nathan--and it gives Dok ample time to recognize the symptoms of a disorder rare among the Amish. She offers Lydie treatment that has the potential to change her life. But will it be enough to make her stay? Or has help come too late?"Readers will be won over by the delightful leads, and the nuanced treatment of Lydie's ADHD and crisis of faith brings depth to the narrative.

By Right of Sword
A.W. Marchmont was a popular British author who wrote several best-selling novels around the turn of the century. Unfortunately, biographical details are scarce. A New York Times obit merely states that upon leaving Oxford he engaged in journalism, which field he left in 1894 to devote his time to fiction. Marchmont's 1897 novel By Right of Sword remained on the Grosset & Dunlap best-seller list for over a decade after its initial publication, and in 1904 was made into a successful Broadway production, which ran several seasons. It was often remarked that Marchmont's novels sold better in the U.S. than in his own country. Marchmont specialized in the genre of "Imperial Intrigue." His tales are filled with romance, action, duels, and narrow escapes. He also wrote several excellent mystery novels which have yet to be rediscovered. A peculiarity of the Edwardian era, and especially for a 'man's man' writer, many of his novels are written from a woman's point of view.

The Day and the Hour
By the time Thursday rolls around, the world's institutions have responded to the imminent catastrophe. Thanks to Felix, a character stranger than this author could invent, we get a detailed report of an outrageous reaction by authorities in China. And by another fortuitous connection, Claudia learns about discussions among rabbis in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the media have rushed to educate their audience on other forms of eschatology while pushing the theory that UFOs are responsible for the Rapture warning. Incidentally, there is significance in nearly all of the names. Not Felix, however. I don't know where that one came from, but his alter ego (in the story) is very significant. Thursday begins a series of lively lectures on Genesis by a former witch and lover of history whose name, appropriately, is Clio. Is this ironic? There is no victim. Such ironies keep occurring. I can't help it. There are dozens of characters, many of them appearing in multiple volumes. As a kind gesture to the reader struggling to remember them, first names within a family begin with the same letter, including the name of the dog if there is one. A prominent character introduced back at the beginning in book one is Adam Murphy, pastor of Grace Bible Church. He is one of several clergy folk, all of them living on Parson Street. His older brother, Aaron Murphy is the Catholic priest. There are many good things to say about Pastor Adam, but he receives no respite from Murphy's law which he believes was discovered by the original Adam. A government official whose assignment is to promote cooperation with the dreaded Reorganization arrives in town on Thursday. Tall, gray-eyed, incredibly beautiful Evelyn Newton meets with Earl Clark's resistance committee. It turns out she is on their side. Earl breaks a date with Leila to spend the evening with Evelyn, and he learns at dinner that she has come to town seeking to be baptized by Adam Murphy, an old friend. (Adam and Evelyn knew each other in high school, which of course was in Appleton Wisconsin when her family name was Ribble, but there is much more to that.)

Long before Isaiah ever knew the events that would unfold in his life, God had been at work in him to mold and shape him into a man to whom He could entrust this extraordinary assignment.But don't lose sight that Isaiah was a flawed ordinary man placed in God-ordered circumstances to be a follower through whom God would accomplish extraordinary things. Through this novella, you'll discover the heart and character of the prophet called to proclaim the promise of the coming Messiah.

Centurion Faith is about a growing faith, hope and love in and for God. The story expands on the Gospel of Luke 7:1-10, The Faith of the Centurion. The quotations of Jesus and His scripture are the key points throughout the story. This is what Jesus says about the centurion, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel." Eternally speaking, what does Jesus want us to learn from His words? However, these ten verses in Luke leave some open questions of interest. Questions such as, how did a Gentile enemy of the nation of Israel come to have such great faith in Jesus? Why did he love the nation of Israel? Why did he build a synagogue for the people of Capernaum? Why was his sick servant so precious to him? In that regard, remember that Centurion Faith is an imagined plausible story that will fade away while the words of Jesus will never fade. Seize His words for your eternity while you enjoy this moving storybook.
The Tortoise Keeper
Every day things happen as they do every other day. We become comfortable with the routines that determine our lives accepting the characters we meet on a daily basis. The bus ride commutes into town, the quiet man who always reads to himself, and the acceptance that he was nobody special: a man of no consequence. That was every day. Written off by the two loud women who dominated the back seat at the end of the bus, how could he be anyone important? But it's strange how things change, even our perception of other people, once we get to understand that they too are human and have their gifts and skills. And who is he? And how important could he be to the very women who mocked him on the bus? He of course, is a man with a very important mission The Tortoise Keeper is the short story of a special man, like all people are; a quiet and patient steward intent on saving what could be lost. It is an environmental tale and a Christian story, centered on our perceptions of others based on their outward appearance. As after all, appearances can be deceptive. It is also written to set a series of challenges for us all for we need to change if our species is to survive. It's also a book about tortoises.
