Riven [large print] / by Jenkins, Jerry B.,author.(CARDINAL)307829;
Brady Wayne Darby is a no account loser raised in a dingy trailer park. Over the years his talents for lying and stealing have backed him in to more corners than he can count, and he's got the rap sheet to prove it. He vows to turn his life around until he meets Katie, and his love for her ruins everything for which he's worked so hard. Thomas Carey, a weary man of God, hasn't yet found a church that's a perfect fit, even though he's been a preacher for dozens of years. He takes a job as the chaplain of a supermax prison, but has yet to meet an inmate sincere about God. When Darby and Carey are providentially brought together, an entire state indeed, a nation, is affected as death, guilt and despair are unfathomably trumped by rebirth, forgiveness and hope.

Can I leave theses with you? / by Stewart, Billy,author.(CARDINAL)865384;
It’s time to sit in a rocker on the front porch with your iced tea glass within reach. Open this book and imagine Bill Stewart sitting next to you telling his stories. You will find yourself rocking back and forth in laughter, in sorrow, and in astonishment. How could he endure so much heartache and still experience so much joy? How can he describe a walk through the woods so vividly that you are transported there? How did he learn to talk with the hoot owls? You will hope that he keeps on telling another story. You will be startled by his honesty, awed by his perception, and flabbergasted by his enduring love for this aching world.

Blood moon : a John Jordan mystery / by Lister, Michael.;
"'Waiting. Alone in the dark. Thinking. Praying. Preparing. Waiting. I was waiting for a call--the single most important call of my life. Earlier in the night I had arrived home to find Anna gone. Not just gone. Taken.' With these opening lines, Michael Lister riveted my attention as he takes the reader through the mental process of someone who lives the 'Serenity Prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change--the courage to change the things I can--And the wisdom to know the difference.' John Jordan is a prison chaplain in a small coastal community where townspeople and prison workers intertwine. Lister writes with elegance of plot with words that flow with a rhythm that couples with the action from a slow meditative dance to the crescendo of frenzied dance. Without giving away the plot line, I will say that John Jordan goes through a number of no-win moral decisions and pulls the reader through his process. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes well-written, fast-paced, character-driven stories. You will not be disappointed."--
