Beth Moore vignettes headline April Broadman & Holman releases


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–Fifteen books, including a collection of vignettes by Beth Moore experiencing an “empty nest,” are scheduled for release in April by Broadman & Holman, the trade publishing division of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention.

General nonfiction:

— “The Cost of Deception” by John Williams. The author writes that hoaxes (such as the president of Proctor and Gamble having ties to the Church of Satan and infamous atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair being on a crusade to stamp out Christian broadcasting) erode the credibility of Christians in a world where Christian influence is being met by increasing skepticism.

— “Saying I Do was the Easy Part: Secrets to a Dynamic and Fulfilling Marriage” by Theda Hlavka. The author uses Bible teachings on what it means to have a marriage based on God’s principles rather than the destructive ideas of modern society.

— “God, If You Have a Plan for My Life, Where Were You Last Thursday?” by Jess Moody. A new collection of personal stories about serving God that should leave readers laughing, crying and grateful for their God-given gifts.

Fiction:

— “The Raptor Virus” by Frank Simon. After surviving the Y2K bug, the now-married Russell and Hanna have returned to what they hope will be a normal life.

The chase is on as the CIA tries to protect Hanna and her family.

Set in the Civil War era, Annie and Ned begin their life together but trouble begins brewing right away as the Cranston gang, a pro-slave group, interrupts the wedding.

It teaches them that even when they don’t understand how everything works or where everything comes from, they can know that God was here first and everything works the way he made it.

— “Excuse Me! A Book All About Manners” written by Cathy Drinkwater Better and illustrated by Nancy Johnston teaching common everyday manners for kids.
