New Arrivals!

 

With summer ending and cooler days and evenings arriving, it's a great time of the year to sit in the shade and enjoy a book. These three large print books will be on the cart near the entrance of the church this month.

• Hot Flashes and Cold Cream (Large Print) by Diann Hunt is a funny and honest look at a 50ish menopausal woman with "a leaky Chihuahua, a body going south, and a workaholic husband with a gorgeous new colleague" who is pushed over the edge when a good friend doesn't recognize her.
• A Reluctant Queen, The Love Story of Esther (Large Print) by Joan Wolf is Biblical fiction - a fictionalization of the romance between Esther and Ahasuerus, not to be confused with the Biblical account in the book of Esther. The author explains on pages 435- 437: "Where the Bible story and the novel come together is in the underlying premise. God has a plan for the world, and He works His plan through the actions of humans. Will we allow God to work through us?"
• Critical Care (Large Print) by Candace Calvert - Nurse Claire can't face the ER after her fireman brother dies in a trauma room from fighting a fire. Her plan of a new career in nursing education in a new hospital backfires when she is called to offer stress counseling to the ER staff after a propane explosion at a day care center and her clashes with a doctor who believes touchy-feely counseling is a waste of time.

Also being entered to the library are:

• On This Foundation, The Restoration Chronicles by Lynn Austin is the third and concluding novel of the series. When news reaches Nehemiah that the wall of Jerusalem has been broken and its gates burned, Nehemiah fasts and prays for God's guidance. He is granted a leave from his duties to rebuild the city wall. However, he never anticipated the dangers ahead including an assassination attempt and drought.
• Eve's Daughters by Lynn Austin - For five decades Emma Bauer has kept a secret that has haunted her life and the lives of her daughters andgranddaughter. When she sees her granddaughter's marriage begin to unravel, she hopes it's not too late to right all the wrongs and let the healing power of truth work in her family.
