On Bernadine Brown's fifty-second birthday she received an unexpected gift—she caught her husband, Leo, cheating with his secretary. She was hurt—angry, too—but she didn't cry woe is me. Nope, she hired herself a top-notch lawyer and ended up with a cool $275 million. Having been raised in the church, she knew that when much is given much is expected, so she asked God to send her a purpose.

The purpose turned out to be a town: Henry Adams, Kansas, one of the last surviving townships founded by freed slaves after the Civil War. The failing town had put itself up for sale on the Internet, so Bernadine bought it.

Trent July is the mayor, and watching the town of his birth slide into debt and foreclosure is about the hardest thing he's ever done. When the buyer comes to town, he's impressed by her vision, strength, and the hope she wants to offer not only to the town and its few remaining residents, but to a handful of kids in desperate need of a second chance.

Not everyone in town wants to get on board though; they don't want change. But Bernadine and Trent, along with his first love, Lily Fontaine, are determined to preserve the town's legacy while ushering in a new era with ties to its unique past and its promising future.

A lush, cautionary tale of a life of vileness and deception or a loving portrait of the aesthetic impulse run rampant? Why not both? After Basil Hallward paints a beautiful, young man's portrait, his subject's frivolous wish that the picture change and he remain the same comes true. Dorian Gray's picture grows aged and corrupt while he continues to appear fresh and innocent. After he kills a young woman, "as surely as if I had cut her little throat with a knife," Dorian Gray is surprised to find no difference in his vision or surroundings. "The roses are not less lovely for all that. The birds sing just as happily in my garden."

As Hallward tries to make sense of his creation, his epigram-happy friend Lord Henry Wotton encourages Dorian in his sensual quest with any number of Wildean paradoxes, including the delightful "When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy." But despite its many languorous pleasures, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an imperfect work. Compared to the two (voyeuristic) older men, Dorian is a bore, and his search for ever new sensations far less fun than the novel's drawing-room discussions. Even more oddly, the moral message of the novel contradicts many of Wilde's supposed aims, not least "no artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style." Nonetheless, the glamour boy gets his just deserts. And Wilde, defending Dorian Gray, had it both ways: "All excess, as well as all renunciation, brings its own punishment."

When Audra Grace Shelby and her husband felt God calling them to minister in the Middle East, she was fearful--how would she raise her children in the heart of conservative Islam?

Armed with prayers and a faith that always seemed too small, the family made the move to Yemen, enduring deadly illness, uncertainty, and the unnerving experience of being Christians in an Islamic culture.

Yet God was at work, and Audra was invited to see what few Christian women have seen: behind the veils of Muslim women. Here she shares about the friendships she forged, about the opportunities to minister when her new friends' hopes shriveled and their own religion faltered--and how the grace of God touched lives in the midst of an enemy stronghold. With humor, passion, and honesty, she shows readers glimpses of life deep in the heart of Islam and the yearning heart of our loving God.

25 Quick & Easy Chocolate Dessert Recipes when
you hear those words "Just Bring Something Chocolate!" Everyone loves
chocolate and this quick recipe guide gives you something fast to whip up in a
hurry that will have your friends and kids begging for more! When you work all
day and your feet are barking, you need a fast answer to that quick request in
the hallway that says, "Oh yeah, and Just Bring Something Chocolate."

 

Hi, My name is Kristie Chiles and I live in the
deep South of the U.S.A. where we live for the 5-layered chocolate cake that
Granny used to bring to the family reunions out in the hot country side at the
old Methodist Church family reunions.  We still go every Summer.  We
load up our picnic baskets, lawn chairs and bug spray and head out to the hot,
sunny, Southern country church where many of our relatives attended and where
many of them are now buried.  

 

We meet and greet and head to the old, wooden church
whitewashed white by the "President" elected each year, and sit on
wooden benches to worship and sing gospel songs.  It is probably the only
time once a year that the "critters" in the woods get to the hear the
Gospel story of Jesus Loves You This I Know, and "When We All Get To
Heaven" sung out loudly in the open-air church that opens wides its green
wooden shutters to all the world once a Sunday-meeting in the country-side of
Georgia, U.S.A.  

 

Yes, it's hot, but as soon as that service is over,
we run out to the cars and unload our picnic goodies of fried chicken,
black-eyed peas, creamed corn, and yes - you guessed it- warm, lovely,
delicious, delectable chocolate delightful cake!  When that is cut, you
had better be one of the first people in line, if you hope to get a piece.
 These delicious chocolate desserts are in honor of my family at Old Salem
Church in the country on a hot day in June of this year and every day as long
as "the creek don't rise."

 

So, before you need a delicious chocolate dessert,
download this one and have it ready when you need something that is yummy and
chocolate!

 

Enjoy! 

 

From my family to yours!

As the power of Christmas envelops the little town, Becca discovers that the boy she once loved has become a strong and confident man. And the most delicious Christmas present she can imagine.

What would you do for a million dollars?

Can the timid Proctor become fearless?

'The books of the future may not meet all the conventional criteria for literary value that we have today, or any of them.' Time Magazine

"Ruthless, contemporary take on Sam Peckinpah's weird, horrifying film that somehow transcends its unlikely material." Gary Hughes

'Riveting, snarling thriller with some brutal twists and turns.' Garth Hableton

'Absorbing, bizarrely spellbinding and strangely humorous.' Alex Guerrero


This is a work of fiction. While many of the characters portrayed here have counterparts in the life and times of John Grisham, the characterizations and incidents presented are products of the author's imagination.


'I have no idea where this filthy little thriller came from. It just kept assaulting me until I wrote it down, wrote it out. I guess it's all about courage. If you like stories that spin out of control down south of the border, you'll love this one.' Stefano Boscutti
