Kevin King’s debut novel, All the Stars Came Out That Night, is a vivid portrait of Depression-era America written in a voice at once humorous and poetic. Set at Boston’s Fenway Park on October 20, 1943, All the Stars Came Out That Night imagines a late-night baseball game bankrolled by Henry Ford, pitting Dizzy Dean’s all-white all-stars against Satchel Paige’s black all-stars. Not a contest waged for money or trophies, the outcome of this game carries with it both the weight of a historic injustice—the barring of blacks from baseball—and the promise of vindication and redemption.
Steeped in baseball lore and featuring an array of iconic American figures—from Babe Ruth to Clarence Darrow—All the Stars Came Out That Nightfar transcends the sport of baseball, creating a tale that is mythic, captivating, and above all, quintessentially American.

When Bill Eck is accused of a crime he didn't commit, the evidence is compelling but not complete. With enough loopholes in the case to run a racehorse through, it seems as though any logical juror or judge would need more evidence to convict anyone in this position. A serial killer who strikes at the site of the racehorse track has every citizen on edge, and Bill is no exception. He is, however, exceptional in one way-his unerring ability to bet on winning horses. Unfortunately, this garners him more than a few enemies and, when an anonymous call is made to the police station, they find him unconscious at the racetrack, with evidence of the murders clutched in his hand. When he wakes up, unable to recollect the series of events that landed him in jail, the police and townsfolk think it's an open-and-shut case. With a tough judge, will justice be done? Kevin King's Guilty of Nothing provides not only a page-turning, gripping story, but also a scathing indictment of our so-called "justice system"

A story of hopeless love—a serial philanderer and gambler married to a woman much younger—and impossible love—his wife, Casey Googan, and a black boxer. Turn of the century Boston comes alive with crew races, balloon races, boxing, rat-baiting, and fashion competitions judged by Isabella Stuart Gardner. Boston’s sculling champion, blue-blood Foxhall Codman, is obsessed with the possibility that the phantom sculler who rowed through him in fog on the Charles River was a woman. Thirty-thousand spectators—Brahmins and geeks, catch-penny operators and thimble riggers—turn out for the epic race on the Charles, a battle of the sexes prefiguring Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean King seven decades later.

If you cringe at the thought of awkwardly bringing up your faith with others, you're in good company.While most of us have the desireto share the gospel, we don't always know how to bring it up. Let's face it... it's not easy to go from "How's the weather?" to "Jesus died for you"; and no one is walking up to us on the street asking, "What must I do to be saved?" So what's a well-intentioned Christian to do?Enter Living Out Loud.Living out loud isn't a strategy for sharing the gospel; it's about being so comfortable in your own spiritual skin that conversations about faith happen naturally and spontaneously. It's about making God such an integral part of your daily life that you can't helpbut talk about him - at home, at work, with family, and with friends - not as a sales pitch, but as a facet of your regular conversations.When your faith becomes obvious to those around you in the way you speak and live and love, evangelism stops seeming like a duty and simply flows from who you are.Now doesn't that sound better than having another awkward conversation?
