The Queen of Sleepy Eye is as much a work of art as a piece of literature. Patti Hill transports the reader into the life of a 17-year old young woman in the mid-70s. The plan was to travel to California to attend college and leave behind the unstable lifestyle she had growing up in Illinois. Her mother had a different idea and took a detour. A broken-down Coupe and no money meant Amy was stuck in a small town for the summer working and living in a funeral home. The months spent in the cozy town of Cordial gave Amy experiences that would forever change her world. She had a summer of moral and personal challenge and growth as she experienced joy, grief, love and hate.

I am in love with Francis Chan’s Crazy Love!
Are you missing it? Am I? Are we missing the reason for our lives here on earth? Chan writes with an infectious enthusiasm that makes the reader catch fire, wanting to act on God’s Word in his hot release, Crazy Love. We are challenged to take the Bible seriously and paint contemporary Christians as ‘lukewarm’ who tend to revel in the good life while ignoring the needs of others. In harsh contrast, the book offers real-life stories of believers who have given their all—time, funds, health, talents, and even their lives—in obedience to accepting Christ’s call. Here are only a few: Lucy may look like a sweet grandma to you and she is; only she once lived as a street prostitute. Today she is saved and opens her home to other young women. The Robynson Family bypasses the presents on Christmas morning to head downtown and feed the hungry.

Three supernatural gifts. Two thousand years of division. One moment of truth.
Hannah's head hung long brown hair in her eyes. Her face felt pasty with cold, fatigue, and pain. Arms behind her back, she sat in a chair, wrists, and ankles tied to the wooden frame, chair legs bolted to the floor. A cold car. A gun. Horror. Pain. Grief. Screaming. A windshield blistering with holes. Darkness.
