Let It Go
Summary
"I had no idea who has just hit us, and my mind didn't think to consider if they were all right or not, or what circumstances might have caused them to cross the median and strike us. I simply looked at the car in silence. Then I heard a voice that was not my own in my mind as clearly as if it had come from someone seated next to me. It was straightforward and filled with power, and the voice said, 'Let it go!'" On a cold February night in 2007, a devoted father of four and a seventeen-year-old drunk driver both received life sentences. In one violent, devastating instant, both faced a drastically different - and uncertain - future. But as Chris Williams sat in his demolished vehicle, staring at the car that had just caused the death of his wife, his unborn baby, his nine-year-old daughter, and his eleven-year-old son, he committed to do something extraordinary: he would forgive. That decision launched Chris on a journey toward healing that affected his family and friends, the young man who caused the accident, and an entire community - a community that would face another deadly tragedy just a few days later. Chris's message of forgiveness is an empowering invitation to all who have suffered, however unjustly, to lay down their burdens and let it go.

How Then Should We Work?
Summary
Businessman Hugh Whelchel provides a thorough, deeply-satisfying Biblical answer to the age-old question, "Does my work matter to God?" Many Christians struggle to make sense of their faith and work. Some are taught the only value in their work is evangelism among their coworkers and earning money to donate to the church and missions. With more than 25 years working in the business sector, Hugh Whelchel was just that guy. He knew there had to be more. His thorough investigation reveals the eternal significance of work within the grand, Biblical story of God's mission throughout history. In How Then Should We Work, discover: The rich biblical meaning of work - from Genesis to Revelation The difference between work, vocation, and calling as a Christian The history of the Christian view on work The call to "reweave shalom" through your job How to live a life of deep significance "A biblically-based and compelling argument supporting the integration of faith and work into a noble calling to serve God in the marketplace." (Steve Reinemund, Dean of Business, Wake Forest University Schools of Business and Retired Chairman and CEO, PepsiCo) "Our vocation: Curse or obsession? Hugh Whelchel lays out the biblical case that our work is neither a necessary evil nor the center of our self-worth. It's God's holy calling through which we use our God-given talents for the furtherance of His ultimate plan - the Kingdom of God." (Hon. John Scott Redd, Vice Admiral, U.S. Navy (Ret.) and First Director of the U. S. National Counterterrorism Center, NCTC) "Hugh Whelchel's work comes at a critical time when both the church and the culture in general are questioning the purpose and value of work. His solid examination of the biblical teaching on work is an excellent starting point for anyone wrestling with these issues." (J. Michael Thigpen, Executive Director of the Evangelical Theological Society) PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Concrete Pearl
Summary
At 38, Ava “Spike” Harrison has been a major player in the local construction industry. She’s also had to rebuild her family business from the bottom up thanks to bad luck and bad fines. So it’s easy to see why OSHA, breathing down her neck on her latest job at Albany’s PS 20, has the contractor on edge. She’s used to putting out fires, but this is about to be a full-on explosion - 300 students at risk for exposure to deadly asbestos, and the asbestos removal contractor, Jimmy Farrell, is nowhere to be found. The clues - Jimmy’s cleared-out office, his impounded car, his “gone fishing” story to his wife - point to something more troubling, possibly foul play. Armed with a framing hammer in lieu of a gun, Spike must sleuth her way through a world of deception, greed, and murder if she’s going to nail a killer.
