About this book
"Freedom is in the mountains." The words of the young Apache's father ring in his ears, words that have twice driven the two to flee their white captors. But their last attempt leaves the boy's father dead, and the boy with a burning desire for revenge. He is taken in by a kindly man known to his neighbors as Hector Sanchez, but to his fellow Mexicans as El Aguila - the Eagle, an almost legendary fighter for Mexico's freedom. Although Hector tries to teach the boy to relinquish his hate, Segundo's thirst for revenge seems to grow with every passing year. Will it overpower his yearning to someday find true freedom? And will it jeopardize his chances for happiness with Marta, the girl he loves?

On the Anvil
Max Lucado
We are all somewhere in the Blacksmith’s shop. We are either on the scrap pile, in the Master’s hands on the anvil, or in the tool chest. (Some of us have been in all three.) In this collection of writings, best-selling author Max Lucado takes us on a tour of the "shop." We’ll examine all tools and look in all corners, from the shelves to the workbench, from the water to the fire. And for you who make the journey--who leave the heap and enter the fire, dare to be pounded on God’s anvil, and doggedly seek to discover your own purpose--take courage, for you await the privilege of being called "God’s chosen instruments." This new edition includes discussion questions and a new foreword from the author.

Ten dumb things smart Christians believe
Larry Osborne
People don't set out to build their faith upon myths and spiritual urban legends. But somehow such falsehoods keep showing up in the way that many Christians think about life and God. These goofy ideas and beliefs are assumed by millions to be rock-solid truth . . . until life proves they're not. The sad result is often a spiritual disaster--confusion, feelings of betrayal, a distrust of Scripture, loss of faith, anger toward both the church and God. But it doesn't have to be so. In this delightfully personal and practical book, respected Bible teacher Larry Osborne confronts ten widely held beliefs that are both dumb and dangerous. Beliefs like these:- Faith can fix anything- God brings good luck- Forgiving means forgetting- Everything happens for a reason- A godly home guarantees good kids...and more.Get ready to be shocked, relieved, and inspired in the pages of Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe. Because the truth is meant to set us free . . . not hurt us.From the Trade Paperback edition.
