This is a very enjoyable historical romance about a privileged young man groomed to take over his father's empire and a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Warren Brentwood returns home from a couple years abroad to run his father's mill, but he starts to have doubts about his future. Espy is thrilled to see the boy she's had a crush on for years. She tries to catch his eye and when they're thrown together for a volunteer club, she thinks this might be her chance. However, when she takes a job as a maid at a professor's home, she's soon placed in a compromising position, and flees town. She's rescued by a missionary couple in the city, but wonders if her name will ever be cleared and if she will ever return home.I really liked the characters and the realistic way they're portrayed, though I was a little frustrated with some things they both said. I enjoyed the focus on doing things for others and the spiritual transformations these two underwent. I also appreciated Warren's struggle with what he should do for a living. This book really shows how important your reputation is, especially in a small town where everyone knows you. Don't miss out on this well-written story!

This is a touching story about a marriage in trouble and about one man's journey to save it. When Jim's wife Marilyn walks out after twenty-seven years of marriage, he's in shock. He feels blindsided and angry and worries how this will affect his career and the way people look at him. Marilyn has everything money can buy, but hasn't felt loved by Jim in a long time. Nothing she says gets through to him, so she moves out, gets a job, and starts taking dance lessons, two things she's wanted to do for a long time. Jim meets an unexpected person who will not only open his eyes to how he's treated his wife and children, but just may help him win her back.
This is an incredibly inspiring story about a group of missionaries serving in Mozambique, but also an encouragement for what we can do wherever we are. Heidi and Rolland Baker are the founders of Iris Ministries, through which they see God miraculously feed over 10,000 children every day. They have also started over 10,000 churches, Bible schools, and primary schools. They describe their day-to-day activities, in which they travel to different villages to show the Jesus Film, preach, heal, and love everyone they come across. Their aim is to stop for the one in front of them, to show love through action and meeting basic needs.
This is an amazing story about three women whose lives intertwine and influence each other as they struggle to realize they are made in God's image. Ellyn is a chef and cafe owner who loves food, especially butter. She's overweight and all she can believe about herself are the lies her inner voice tells her. When a handsome doctor shows an interest in her, she assumes there must be an ulterior motive. Sabina looks like she has it all together, but she has left her counseling practice and husband to come to Northern California for a year to heal, though to Ellyn it looks more like hiding. Twila is on the road to recovery in her struggle with anorexia, but when she experiences a setback, she must fight with God's help instead of hide.
