Book excerpt: A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming twist: the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd. On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, a flock of sheep gathers around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has cared devotedly for the flock, even reading them books every night. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George’s killer. The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the “bad-boy” black ram; Mopple the Whale, a Merino who eats a lot and remembers everything; and Zora, a pensive black-faced ewe with a weakness for abysses. Joined by other members of the richly talented flock, they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime, wild metaphysical speculations, and embark on reconnaissance missions into the village, where they encounter some likely suspects. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful new breed of detectives to Canadian readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Elizabeth Chadwick] makes historical fiction come gloriously alive"—The Times of London From New York Times bestselling historical fiction author, Elizabeth Chadwick, comes a bundle of the first three gripping and romantic books about William Marshal, medieval England's Greatest Knight. Elizabeth Chadwick's William Marshal series is an irresistible combination British royalty, medieval honor, stirring romance, and intoxicating power. The Greatest Knight A penniless young knight with few prospects, William Marshal is plucked from obscurity when he saves the life of Henry II's formidable queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. In gratitude, she appoints him tutor to the heir to the throne, the volatile and fickle Prince Henry. But being a royal favorite brings its share of danger and jealousy as well as fame and reward. The Scarlet Lion By 1197 William Marshal's prowess with a sword and loyalty with his heart have been well rewarded But his contentment and security is shattered when King Richard dies. Forced down a precarious path by the royal injustices of the vindictive King John, Marshal teeters on a razor-thin line of honor that threatens to tear apart the very heart of his family. For the King's Favor When William Marshal's peer, Roger Bigod arrives at King Henry II's court to settle a bitter inheritance dispute, he becomes enchanted with Ida de Tosney, young mistress to the powerful king. A victim of Henry's seduction and the mother of his son, Ida sees in Roger a chance to begin a new life. But Ida pays an agonizing price when she leaves the king, and as Roger's importance, their marriage comes under increasing strain. This bundle is the perfect introduction to a riveting historical series by the master of medieval fiction. Elizabeth Chadwick's novels will delight fans of Phillipa Gregory, Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Hilary Mantel. Praise for Elizabeth Chadwick: "Picking up an Elizabeth Chadwick novel is like having a Bentley draw up at your door: you know you are in for a sumptuous ride."—Daily Telegraph "Chadwick's research is impeccable, her characters fully formed, and her storytelling enthralling."—Historical Novel Review "A star back in Britain, Elizabeth Chadwick is finally getting the attention she deserves here."—USA Today
Download or read book God Chooses People Like You written by Beverly Lipford Carroll and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heroes of the Bible werent any more gifted or powerful than you are. They were flawed, ordinary people living ordinary lives and doing ordinary things. Their struggles and temptations were no different from ours. But they allowed their ordinary lives to be interrupted by God, who is anything but ordinary. They chose to obey God when they did not necessarily see a happy ending. And when they did, what we see as a remarkable hero in the Bible is just an ordinary person reflecting the glory of God. Our capabilities are far less influential than the choices we make, and our choices become the stories of our lives. We can continue to serve the pain of our past and be held captive by what we wish we could change, or we can let our belief in the power of God overshadow the size of our enemy and the depth of our weakness. God doesnt need heroes. He wants you. His power and glory are most evident in your weakness. Your past is never too complicated or too far gone for God to redeem into something beautifulresurrection is His specialty.
