The UpSideDown Life
by Nathan Weselake
A newly Christian friend of mine asked me to recommend a book to help her and her husband get off to a strong start in their new faith. I set out to find the perfect book. To hold their attention, it had to be the literary equivalent of a successful date night movie. It needed romance, humor, suspense, and possibly lucrative product placements. It needed something for him and something for her. But it couldn’t be fluff, it needed to be genuinely helpful. I set out to find such a book. I left...

Broken Promise
The story of a man growing up in Bountiful and living under 'The One Man Rule.' by Jon Blackmore

But salvation required more than just faith. It also demanded perfect obedience to God’s chosen representatives on Earth—the church’s prophet and the local bishop.

Next of Kin
by A.E. Lawrence

The depraved methodology used by the killers to end her life reignites the nightmare that ex-cop, Nicholas Palmer, believed he’d put to rest almost twenty years earlier. The girl’s murder is eerily like killings sanctioned by La Orden de las Serpientes de Cristo, the centuries-old Mexican cult that ritualistically slaughtered young women to appease Quetzalcoatl, the unholy snake god. Now...
