  Pharisees Wife : A Novel

  $18.99

  From the beloved author of Love Comes Softly comes an inspiring work of historical fiction about a young Jewish woman, plucked from obscurity and thrust on a perilous journey, only to witness the world’s most life-changing story.

  Like most young women in ancient Israel, Mary has little control over her own destiny. When Enos, a rising Pharisee, sees her one day in the market–the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on–and determines to make her his wife, Mary’s fate is quickly sealed. His exorbitant bride price is the only hope her parents have of escaping abject poverty, but surely the fact that such a devout and esteemed man has chosen a girl of her station must be a sign of blessing.

  When Mary enters training to become the proper Pharisee’s wife, it is as though she has been abandoned in a foreign land, where one misstep could cost her greatly. That feeling only deepens when she discovers Enos is all she feared he might be, treating her merely as a prize he has won–and worse. Then rumors of a miracle-working, traveling Prophet change everything, and Mary and Enos are swept up in events that will challenge all they hold dear and forever alter both their futures.

  Unfailing Love

  $16.99

  Lillian Walsh and Grace Bennett have learned so much already about caring for children in distress. It hasn’t been an easy task, but suddenly they discover that two of their kids have run away. And, inexplicably, Lemuel has gone with them. Concerned for the trio’s safety, the sisters will do all they can to try to find the children.

  But the runaways are not the only ones who’ve put the future of their children’s home in question. Father is finally home again–and Delyth has come with him. Lillian herself is faced with choosing between her dreams with fiance Walter and her commitment to her sister. Steady Ben Waldin is keen to find where his family settled in Canada and to give little Janie a place to permanently call home. Just where that search will take him and what it will require may be more than he’s ready for.

  As they all struggle to determine their paths forward, each begins to realize that sometimes loving well means making difficult choices.
