December 2008 Book Seasons of Salvation The students piled the packages high on the porch, rapped quickly on the door, and then secreted themselves nearby. Finally, a sleepy-eyed little boy opened the door and stared wide-eyed at the mountain of Christmas presents. Santa's sleigh crashed right here on my porch! In this heartwarming, feel-good story based on an actual event, distrust, abandonment, and lack of hope give way to love and service in an early morning seminary class full of problem kids who help their teacher pay an overdue debt of gratitude. Seasons of Salvation is about a young girl abandoned at birth. It's about a mother finding a daughter. It's about a group of ordinary students caught up in doing extraordinary things. And it's about everyone who wants to make a difference in the world.192 pages, 5.5"x8.5" paperbackReg price $13.99 Book Club price $11.89

The girls formed this secret committee to anonymously call boys on their birthdays and sing them a spirited birthday song. No one knows who the BCC is, and the girls want to keep it that way. Things get even better for Lisa when an elaborate scheme brings her together with handsome, blue-eyed Jared Nichols. Lisa is in heaven until beautiful, talented, always-smiling Whitney Thurber enters the picture. When Jared and Whitney start spending time together, Lisa is devastated, knowing she can’t compete with Whitney’s perfection and upbeat attitude. Then to make things worse, Patrice and Angela invite Whitney to be a part of the BCC. Lisa is convinced the others want Whitney to fill her spot in the group. Is Lisa doomed and destined to be friendless and without a boyfriend? Will she be forever stuck at home with her semi-invalid grandpa Jake, his hideous dog Seymour, and her obnoxious little sister, Kim?

She has a wonderful family, a loyal friend, her poetry, her music, and best of all, her daydreams. Everything in her life is perfect...except for school. And her bratty cousin Staci. And that annoying boy, Syd. And the fact that the most handsome boy in the world, Freddie, doesn't know she exists. And, of course, the Vietnam War. Other than that, though, Bodi has no complaints. Just when Bodi feels life is at its best, adversity strikes. When a quick succession of tragedies crush Bodi's perfect world, Bodi is left with a pile of broken dreams as well as faith-threatening questions. Does God exist, or is he really only the product of someone's pitiful yearning and imagination? Can people be trusted, or will everyone sooner or later break their word? Do miracles really happen - and if they do, can they happen to someone like her? In this touching story, the reader will learn with Bodi, that although life doesn't always turn out the way we want, it doesn't mean that it can't still be good. Against an Amber Sky is the story of a young girl who learns the importance of integrity and comes to feel the love of God as she discovers the reality of miracles.224 pages, 5.5x8.5" Paperback - Take a sneak peak inside the book hereRegular price: $14.99Book Club price: $12.74 April 2008 Book -- CTR’s Ring Cameron Richards, a young Jeep-driving free spirit from the Bible Belt, arrives in California to meet a long-lost branch of his family.
