Deliver Me From My Enemies (Urban Christian)
by Sharon Oliver
Charlotte Morley is still in South Carolina, this time joined by her parents. A series of letters written by her Aunt Ramiyah, who is serving time in prison for killing her husband, reveal to Charlotte not only Ramiyah’s past swinging lifestyle but another family secret so devastating it questions the family’s faith and ability to forgive.
The List (Urban Christian)
by Sherri Lewis
Single and satisfied? Not Michelle, Angela and Lisa. These saved but sexy, successful black women think they’re getting too old to keep waiting on God to send their soulmates. Under the protective eye of their more spiritual sistergirlfriend, Vanessa, and the scrutiny of newly saved manhater, Nicole, the ladies go on a hilarious adventure to “be found” by their husbands.
Armed with their list of essential must-have’s, would-be-nice’s, icing-on-the-cake’s, and total-deal-breakers, they start their search – but soon encounter issues specific to the saved woman on the dating scene. Is online dating okay for Christians? How long do you wait before you tell the hottie you just met that you’re celibate and plan to stay so until married? He’s too fine to pass up – how saved does he really need to be? And of course, how do you keep things holy when he’s oh-so-sexy?
It’s not long before they realize they still have to trust God to know what’s best for them and that He loves them enough to send them everything on The List.
For Nonfiction Lovers
Crazy Faith: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives (Judson Press)
by Dr. Susan K. Williams Smith
"It hasn’t been extraordinary people who have changed the world; rather, it’s been people who have been willing to act and live on faith," observes pastor and author Susan Smith. Drawing on biblical, historical, and contemporary stories of what she calls "crazy faith," this inspirational volume challenges readers to dare to step out and make a difference in the world. Faith is "vision fueled by action," Smith declares. Follow in the footsteps of those who have earned a place in the Hall of Faith, including Moses, Harriet Tubman, David, Nelson Mandela, Sarah and Abraham, Mother Teresa, Noah, and Mary McLeod Bethune.
Raising Boys To Be Like Jesus (Judson Press)
by Sharon Norris Elliott
High-school teacher and mother of two boys of her own, the author exhorts parents and caregivers to choose Jesus as the ultimate male role model for their sons. Tracing the Gospel stories of Christ from infancy through ministry in Judea and Galilee and even to death and resurrection, each chapter identifies a lesson to be gleaned from Jesus’ life. Practical wisdom about facing temptation, exploring leadership, choosing friends, dealing with women, and handling money also yields spiritual insight for raising a young boy into a Christlike man.
