Christian Thriller/Suspense


Brother Half Angel is the leader of a secret new church military order, dedicated to helping Christians under attack around the world. Relentless suspense is the hallmark of this gripping thriller. But it is also a book that raises serious questions – how far can Christians go to defend themselves? When should they turn the other cheek? What happens when a Christian kills in self-defense? And should those who live by the sword really expect to die by the sword?

Are hobbits, elves, and dragons real?  These creatures are common in fantasy but have you ever met one? Maybe not literally, but J.R.R. Tolkien's famous characters bring to life real character qualities we all can learn from, whether good or bad. What can the bravery of a hobbit, the faith of an elf, or the greed of a dragon teach teens about themselves? How can their stories lead us to the real Kingdom where God is working out way more than a fantasy for his people? Dig into these familiar characters and relevant Bible passages to find out. Understand how to live your own epic story!

Lorilyn Roberts
The Donkey and the King (A Story of Redemption)
99 cents
25 reviews, 4.8 stars
Ages 2-6


The Donkey and the King is a story of love with Christian symbolism and allegory. Travel to the Bible lands and meet Baruch, a stubborn donkey, and other lovable animals: Lowly, the pig; Much-Afraid, a small, lame dog; Worldly Crow, who isn't as bright as he think he is; and a sheep, Little, sent on a special mission by the King. The ending of the story will delight young readers as they discover “good” exists in the world if they look and listen for it.

Christian Inspirational/Suspense

GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT:  When a drug-smuggling ring rocks a small coastal town, the DEA sends Agent Owen Matthews to shut it down. A single father with a deaf son, Owen senses that the town's number one suspect—the high school's new principal—doesn't fit the profile. Miriam Hunter hoped to shrug off the stigma of her hearing impairment when she returned to Stepping Stones, Maine. But her recurring nightmares dredge up old memories that could prove her innocence—and uncover the truth behind a decades-old murder. Yet Owen's help may not be enough when someone decides to keep Miriam silenced—permanently.

  9. Warning Signs - Katy Lee - first i enjoy the Love Inspired Suspense books. the picture is what first caught my eye- waves crashing against the shore - then the title - warning signs - dont we all miss warning signs in our lives? we see and feel like life is crashing against us like the waves. then i read the blurb - i often speak with people with hearing problems - i have learned out to be a better communicator now. i think i may be able to relate to some of the difficulties the characters may face in the book. i would love to win it to find out. thank you

    Brother Half-Angel This hits sort of a lot of points in todays world when we don't know how to handle others of different backgrounds and cultures. Seems like an interesting book. Helping others in a time when Christians are ridiculed by religion everyday. It's a holy war it will never end tell Jesus comes back.
