1. Coming Attractions by Robin Jones Gunn

2.
Embrace Grace by Liz Curtis Higgs
From Amazon.com:
From Publishers Weekly
Higgs, bestselling author of Bad Girls of the Bible, offers a sweet but substantial gift book about accepting God’s grace and leaving the past behind. Higgs’s personal history includes “a lost decade of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n ‘roll,” and though she doesn’t focus on her past, she writes believably as someone who struggled with accepting grace herself. Each chapter contains multiple Scripture verses strung together with comments she’s received from readers (such as, “I don’t feel I am worthy of having God forgive me of my sins and weaknesses. I feel like a failure.”) and reflections from her own life. She walks through several stages of receiving grace—including doubting that grace could be possible, confronting sin, forgiving yourself and repenting. Readers will feel at ease with Higgs’s down-home style that’s never preachy. Higgs aims to provide “a field guide, tracing a well-worn footpath from doubt to belief, pointing us away from shame and toward hope.” She succeeds, and readers who are looking for more insight from this former Bad Girl will be very thankful. (Sept. 19)

3. A Life God Rewards by Wilkinson

4. The Master’s Match by Tamela Hancock Murray
From Heartsong Presents website:
Nash is beyond Becca’s wildest dreams. Never in a million years would Becca have imagined herself wed to someone like trading company tycoon Nash Abercrombie. Yet on the very day he hires her to be his scullery maid, he asks her to become his wife. Nash is running from a very persistent – and unpleasant – woman who is determined to marry him and run his life. Surely marriage to the sweet and humble Becca would be better than that of the harridan Hazel! Can true love ever blossom from a union like this?

5. Under The Tulip Poplar by Diane Ashley and Aaron McCarver
From Heartsong Presents website:
Rebekah eagerly anticipates the return of her childhood sweetheart from college…and his long-awaited proposal. But when Asher instead tells her that their wedding must wait while he fights for his country, Rebekah’s dreams seem to shatter around her. Asher longs to provide a life of wealth and position for his true love, Rebekah. But when she balks at some of his plans for their future, he begins to question the dreams he believed they shared. Will Rebekah and Asher lose their dreams of love or follow God’s leading to the life He has for them together?

6. Stillwater Promise by Becky Melby and CAthy Wienke
From Heartsong Presents website:
How can Sara trust a man who abandoned her twice? When Sara’s dream of her own bed-and-breakfast is finally coming true, the man who left her twice shows up wanting to be her prince again. Life has been harsh for James since he ran out on Sara for the second time. None of his music dreams have been realized. As a new Christian, he truly wants to make amends – but knows he won’t be welcomed warmly. Will James and Sara surrender their marriage to the Lord? Or will misconceptions and selfish ambitions once again cause James to run?

7. A Wagonload Of Trouble by Vickie McDonough
From Heartsong Presents website:
When Bethany’s dad needs her help, she returns to her family’s guest ranch, only to find that it’s in financial distress and mysterious events are putting their property and guests in danger. Evan is completely out of his element. Despite a pressing deadline, he’s accompanying his niece on a two-week wagon train tour with her history class. To make matters worse, the pretty gal heading up the tour thinks he’s a geek extraordinaire, but he can’t help his attraction to her. Can Bethany and Evan uncover the perpetrators before someone is seriously injured – or the ranch is driven into bankruptcy?

8. Heart’s On The Road by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer
From Heartsong Presents website:
Truck driver Randi Davis crisscrosses Wyoming with a broken heart, vowing never to love another man. Suddenly Matthew Carter, a pastor in search of a mobile ministry, is thurst into her life and into her cab. And there’s nothing she can do about it. Matthew sees the seedier side of trucking every day, and he feels a definite call to minister there. But getting this ministry established is proving more difficult than he imagined. Soon Randi and Matthew find themselves at cross-purposes. Will this be the end of the raod for Randi and Matthew’s romance?

9. Polly Dent Loses Grip by S. Dionne Moore
From the back cover:
Polly Dent loses grip on the treadmill and takes a fatal spill that’s ruled an accident. Helping her mother-in-law move into Bridgeton Towers Assisted Living, but the scars from LaTisha Barnhart’s surgically removed bunions tell her something’s afoot. The residents’ gossip is revealing all kinds of motives for murder. Gertrude Herrman is out looking for love in the form of Thomas Philcher’s fat wallet, and Polly’s fall eliminates her competition once and for all. Otis Payne, the venerable director of Bridgeton Towers, is over a barrel when his wife demands cash, or she’ll carry on without him. Mitzi Mullins’s penchant for rhyme puts her in direct line as perpetrator of the crime, and Sue Mie’s mistake seals Polly’s fate.

    I would love all of these books, but I’m really excited about Embrace Grace and Coming Attractions. I just read your review… I remember Katie from the Christy Miller series. I loved those as a teen! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

    Oh My it would be like Christmas if I could win that many books. Camy had one like this last month but I was not a winner. I love to read and am so proud of my books, I keep all of them and love to show them off as I re-read them more than one time. My bedroom looks like a libary and I have read every one of the books. I love my Bible first of all and then my Christian novels.

    May God bless
