Arden Park

By: Rick Kantola

Raised in Tennessee by her poor but genteel great grandmother, Jasmine Johnson is orphaned at eleven and moves in with her oh-so-modern cousins in California. Based on Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, Arden Park takes a 19th-century child and sets her down in a 21st-century world of wealth, opulence, and self-indulgence. A cautionary tale replete with scheming, romance, values, and the lack of them, Arden Park pits Jasmine against a crowd of fashionable, pampered teenagers, as she takes on school, career, and love.

Do You Love Me? Feed My Sheep

By: Rick Tunis

Do You Love Me? is a very real and personal look at discipleship, revival, and how to position yourself for greater usefulness in God’s Kingdom. From accepting Christ during the 70’s Jesus Movement to leading a church into revival and feeding people in famine-stricken areas of Africa, author and Pastor Rick Tunis uses boldly transparent stories of his life to illustrate: Biblical teachings on the nature of shepherding. The ripple effects of backsliding. The joy of sustained commitment. God’s desire to take ordinary believers from the ranks of the unreliable and enlist them into unimaginable Spirit-led assignments. Are you like many Christians who are unable to maximize your potential to become an effective shepherd of others? If so, you may experience years of frustration, a sense of an unrealized calling, and limited usefulness in the Kingdom of God. Do You Love Me? will encourage you, and give you practical steps for making the change from sheep to shepherd through sustained faithfulness and obedience to God’s Word.

Vulnerability to Depression

From Cognitive Neuroscience to Prevention and Treatment

By: Rick E. Ingram,Ruth Ann Atchley,Zindel Segal

Providing a cutting-edge examination of the mechanisms underlying depression, this volume integrates important areas of research that have largely remained separate. The authors explore both the cognitive and neurological processes that make some people more vulnerable than others to developing depression and experiencing recurrent episodes. They also probe how these processes interact—how negative life experiences, maladaptive belief systems, and patterns of thinking may actually affect neural circuitry, and vice versa. Explaining sophisticated theory and research in an accessible style, the book highlights the implications for improving clinical practices and patient outcomes.

We Be Big

The Mostly True Story of How Two Kids from Calhoun County Alabama Became Rick and Bubba

By: Rick Burgess

The story of two unlikely radio hosts and what happened when they followed their faith and instincts. They are the most unlikely broadcast stars imaginable, yet hundreds of thousands of loyal listeners start their day with them every morning. They don't have "radio voices," don't spin the latest hit songs, don't do "shock jock" humor, horoscopes, or celebrity birthdays. Instead, Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey-collectively known as "The Rick and Bubba Show" on scores of radio stations coast to coast-share real stories about real people, inviting their vast audience into their families and circle of friends to experience with them uproarious happenings and moving events with which they can all identify. Beyond that, these two non-radio radio personalities break the biggest no-no for secular radio as they openly share in a forceful but non-threatening way their faith in Christ and their common-sense way of looking at the world. Now, in We Be Big: The Mostly True Story of How We Became Rick & Bubba, they (with the assistance of best-selling and award-winning author Don Keith) share how this unlikely pairing came about and how the show found even higher levels of popularity, even as the two of them deliberately steered away from every accepted rule for radio success. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, this is also the highly personal story of two men who-like most of us-resisted stepping through the doors God opened for them, opting for the easier path when tested. In this compelling story, "the two sexiest fat men alive" share their experiences and demonstrate how, with the help of faith and family, they have become a true blessing for so many.
