Enter an adrenaline-laced epic where dreams and reality collide

Fleeing his assailants through deserted alleyways, Thomas Hunter narrowly escapes to the roof of a building. Then a silent bullet from the night clips his head . . . and his world goes black.  From the blackness comes an amazing reality of another world–a world where evil is contained. A world where Thomas Hunter is in love with a beautiful woman.  But then he remembers the dream of being chased through an alleyway as he reaches to touch the blood on his head. Where does the dream end and reality begin?  Every time he falls asleep in one world, he awakes in the other. Yet in both, catastrophic disaster awaits him . . . may even be caused by him.  Some say the world hangs in the balance of every choice we make. Now the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance of one man’s choices.

  

Option 2: A Time To Mend by Sally John and Gary Smalley.

Meeting date: January 20, 2009 at 7:30pm.  Location: Debra W.’s house.

An unopened gift. A broken vow. A tragic fire. Sometimes there are wounds that even time can’t heal.  Max and Claire Beaumont seem to have the perfect marriage. They live in a beautiful home, have four wonderful children and everything else that success and money can buy. Yet beneath this picture-perfect exterior, Claire’s life is falling apart. She can no longer hold her peace and keep up appearances.  After all the silent years, she must speak the truth.  As their lives unravel, deep needs and even deeper hurts are revealed. Not only the wounds between husband and wife, but family wounds as well. Will this time of soul-searching and conflict bring them closer together–or tear their marriage apart?  It’s a strange irony to leave home in search of a safe harbor. Yet that is often where the journey begins . . . especially when it is time to mend. A Time to Mend is the first novel in the Safe Harbor series. Drawing on the insights of best-selling marriage expert Gary Smalley, the series explores the joys and struggles of marriage, family, and faith.
