The first book in the Burnt Swamp Trilogy, this 368-page spiritual fantasy will engage readers 8 to 80 and have them reaching for their Bibles to learn more. What do twelve-year-old dyslexic Gavin Goodfellow, prophetically-inclined Uncle Warney, mother-daughter witches from London, and a tattooed New Age guru have in common? Burnt Swamp-where flames from a mysterious underground fire have been smoldering for ten years. The battle is on for dominion of the swamp and possession of an ancient diary that holds clues to release or destroy the evil that dwells beneath the surface. Will Gavin respond to the Holy Spirit and embrace his God-given calling? Or will Bea Daark and her mum unleash forces that lure Gavin and the sleepy town of Ashboro deep into bondage? From award-winning novelist, Nancy Rue: "Just when I thought the best fantasy-mystery-adventure books had already been written, I found Gavin Goodfellow. NOW you have the best! Not only is the story deliciously strange and can’t-put-it-down intriguing, but Gavin and the challenges he bumps into are as real as you are. And at the center of it all, there’s God—like you’ve never experienced God before. So follow Gavin and his cousins, Molly and Eric, into Burnt Swamp and be prepared for the journey of your life!"

Did you know that God has a secret? One day, while Jessie Seneca was reading Colossians 1:27 in the New Living Translation (NLT), she saw it. There it was, God’s secret: “Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing in His glory.” Once you know it, you will never be the same. You can enter into a wholehearted relationship with the supreme and all-sufficient Christ. This study features five weeks of personal, daily assignments and six weekly group sessions with DVD (available separately). As this study guides you into a deeper relationship with your heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ, you will be grounded in the truth of Christ, the person of Christ, and the power of Christ. You will be challenged in your everyday relationships—in the home, workplace, and church. Read and study this short yet compelling and powerful letter. When you are finished studying it, you will not only want to learn the secret for yourself, but live it out and pass it on.

I've Never Loved Him More is one wife’s story of what it means to live out her vows, “in sickness and in health.” As her husband’s caregiver in his struggle with Alzheimer’s, this story takes the reader through discovery, acceptance, adjustment, and battle against the ravages of what is often seen as a soul-crushing disease. Armed with faith, humor, and a history of spiritual victories, Candy demonstrates how she is loving her way through the mind-maze that would steal her husband of four decades.

She finds strength in her faith, family, friends, and the kindness of strangers. She engages Scripture, prayer, and spiritual support to combat this disease, weapons which can inspire others who are fighting chronic illnesses. Far from depressing, this is a worthwhile, helpful read for anyone struggling with anything.
