Magnetic : Carissa Miller
Magnetic
When Elle Christiansen’s rebellion leads to her father’s expulsion from a parsonage in small-town Ohio, the forlorn pair is forced to move to Oklahoma to live with an aunt neither of them has ever met.
Here she encounters her aunt’s neighbor—Maverick Mason, the quietly confident son of a wealthy oil tycoon who infuriates her as much as he inexplicably draws her in… Maverick slowly gains Elle’s trust and coaxes her out from the seemingly impenetrable walls of self-protection she erected around her heart when her mother was murdered.
He convinces Elle to confide the secrets of her tortured past: that she saw her mother’s murder before it took place, and she was the one who found her, bleeding to death at the end of a lonely dirt road.
Together the unlikely pair begins to unlock the secrets of not only Elle’s sordid past, but her mother’s and grandmother’s as well, to uncover decades of greed, corporate corruption, lies, and murder. Quickly, the sobering realization hits: if they do not solve her mother’s murder, Elle will undoubtedly suffer the same fate.
As she continues her journey toward truth alongside the boy she is magnetically drawn to in a way both frightening and uncontrollable, Elle finds the road she is most afraid of going down—that one lane dirt road where her mother was murdered—just might be the only place she can truly find redemption.
Magnetic tells of the enduring pain of living with unsolved violent crime. Inspired by debut author Carissa Miller’s true-life events, it’s a haunting account of a young girl’s struggle in the aftermath of shattering loss.
With an unraveling love story, puzzling mystery, unexpected twists and turns, and a gripping pace that will keep you turning pages, our heroine takes you on her journey as she learns one of life’s great lessons: facing your fears instead of running from them, is the only way to truly find freedom.

Curing Sunday Spectatoritis : Larry Peabody
Curing Sunday Spectatoritis: From Passivity to Participation in Church
Churches have traded participation by the people for performance by the professionals. “Churches are filled with passive spectators rather than active participants in the mission of God.” So says Ed Stetzer, author, pastor, and church missiologist. Spectatoritis, said twentieth-century theologian Elton Trueblood, is “a terrible sickness in our churches.” Curing Sunday Spectatoritis takes aim at that illness by calling for participatory church services. It answers the biblical “why?” for participatory church but does not stop there. It also speaks to the contemporary “how?” by offering stories in which 25 church leaders explain how they are doing so.
Today, Christians of all ages are hungering for the kind of participation that characterized first-century churches. The New Testament includes more than 50 one-another/each-other instructions—all based on Jesus’s New Commandment: “Love one another.” Paul, James, Peter, and the author of Hebrews all elaborated on the New Commandment, saying that loving one another includes encouraging, spurring on, instructing, and much more. And we are to act in those ways right in our church gatherings.
Like arthritis, bronchitis, and appendicitis, spectatoritis brings on a measure of disability. But unlike those and other inflammatory “-itis” conditions that ache and throb, Sunday spectatoritis typically leaves its victims quite pain-free, even comfortable. And who among us, including church people, will seek a remedy if unaware of any disabling symptoms? But spectatoritis can be diagnosed and cured. This book is for all who love the Body of Christ and work for its well-being. It is for pastors, church leaders, and church planters in all kinds of communities—in urban, suburban, exurban, and rural congregations. It is for Christians who seek to encourage increased congregational participation and to support leaders as they pursue that objective.
