Forthcoming Titles: Spring Fiction

Who says you have to wait until summer for great Christian fiction? This spring's titles include bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg's highly anticipated thriller Dead Heat, where the world seems to be spinning dangerously out of control during one of the most fiercely contested presidential elections in American history, while Ted Dekker unleashes Adam, his latest suspense-filled novel about an elusive serial killer whose victims die of unknown causes and the psychologist obsessed with catching him. Female readers will gravitate toward Peggy Darty's mystery When Zeffie Got a Clue as well as Denise Hunter's The Convenient Groom: A Nantucket Love Story and Colleen Cobel's Anathema. Debut title Danny Gospel, by David Athey, captures the journey of Danny, a wounded soul searching for answers, and Eric Wilson presents the story of the inspirational film Flywheel in paperback. Andrew Peterson's On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness: Adventure. Peril. Lost Jewels. and the Fearsome Toothy Cows of Skree. is the story of the three Igiby children's journey to survive the evil pursuit of those who want to rule the land with malice--perfect for fantasy readers. And Richard Doster's Safe at Home tells the story of the 1953 season of The Bobcats, a small-town southern baseball team. For more spring Christian fiction titles on ipage, click here.


Product Panel: Inspiration from the Lives of Others

We are fascinated by other people's lives and the stories of inspiration they have to share. In Kirk Cameron's new book Still Growing: An Autobiography, the teen sensation of the classic television hit Growing Pains and later star of the Left Behind movies shares how God and family became the secrets behind his celebrated smile. Amy Grant's Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far offers poignant and often startling insights on motherhood, marriage, friendship, faith, loss, forgiveness, and redemption. Other well-known autobiographies include Denise Jackson's It's All about Him: Finding the Love of My Life and includes a Foreword by husband Alan Jackson, and in Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life, Tony Dungy, the first African-American coach to win the Super Bowl, tells the story of a life lived for God and family--and challenges readers to redefine their ideas of what it means to succeed. For the ultimate in inspiration, Miles from the Sideline: A Mother's Journey with Her Special Needs Daughter is a look at the life of Maura Weis (wife of Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis) and her journey with her daughter Hannah, a child with special needs, while Larry Jones shares his life's work as founder of Feed the Children in Keep Walking: One Man's Journey to Feed the World One Child at a Time.

As warmer weather approaches and the snow begins to melt in many areas, it's clear that the beauty of Spring is on its way: trees begin to show signs of life, and we begin to look for more pleasant days. How will your store greet the new season? Do you still have Christmas and other winter items that are taking up much-needed space in your store? If so, consider holding a “Spring Cleaning” sale--out with the old and in with the new! Your customers love a sale, and this will give them a chance to get a great deal on the merchandise that you need to move. The sale will also get them in the store to shop for new spring titles and the music they are looking for. Happy Spring to you and your employees!
