They Called Her Mrs. Doc by Janette Oke: When a handsome and serious young doctor begins to visit the dinner table of Cassandra Dell Winston's father, Cassandra is intrigued by such a conscientious man. After their marriage, she agrees to leave the upper society of Montreal for the adventure of the western frontier. Contrary to her expectation of glamorous adventure, however, the west is full of hardships that Cassandra never could have expected.

Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story by Ben Carson, MD: The inspiring story of an inner-city kid with poor grades and little motivation, who, at age thirty-three, became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. Disciplines of the Home by Anne Ortlund: Anne gives a refreshing look at the home from God's perspective. Simple Faith by Charles R. Swindoll: Must we run at a pace between maddening and insane to prove we're among the faithful? Is this really how the Prince of Peace would have us live? In this best-selling, classic work, Swindoll answers with a resounding, "No!" showing how Christians can break free from exhausting, performance-based faith. He calls us back to the simplicity of the Sermon on the Mount. How did so many people wind up trapped by complicated systems of performance-based faith? Why do we push ourselves past our limits in pursuit of more works than any reasonable Pharisee would have demanded? Swindoll shows us how to free ourselves from such arbitrary confinement, and reminds us that we serve a God who promises freedom, peace, and everlasting--not exhausting--life.
