SuperCheap - four Christian historical fiction e-books

Today we are featuring four SuperCheap historical novels published by WaterBrook, a Christian publisher. All four of the books have 4+ star ratings and have been reviewed by more than 15 reviewers each. Best of all, the prices on these books are cheap!

NOTE: I prepare posts in advance of publication. A great job keeps me from being on this site all the time, ferreting out the best bargains for you. I work evenings and weekends preparing drafts to post through the week. Several weeks ago, another site featured some of the books below. I had already had the post ready, but delayed publication so that anyone who wanted to books from that site could purchase them. Adequate time has passed and I'm publishing this post prepared on June 6.



A Clearing in the Wind by Jane Kirkpatrick is available for only $0.99 - yes, that's right, less than a dollar.

Description: Young Emma Wagner chafes at the constraints of Bethel colony, an 1850s religious community in Missouri that is determined to remain untainted by the concerns of the world. A passionate and independent thinker, she resents the limitations placed on women, who are expected to serve in quiet submission. In a community where dissent of any form is discouraged, Emma finds it difficult to rein in her tongue–and often doesn’t even try to do so, fueling the animosity between her and the colony’s charismatic and increasingly autocratic leader, Wilhelm Keil.

Eventually Emma and her husband, Christian, are sent along with eight other men to scout out a new location in the northwest where the Bethelites can prepare to await “the last days.” Christian believes they’ve found the ideal situation in Washington territory, but when Keil arrives with the rest of the community, he rejects Christian’s choice in favor of moving to Oregon.

Emma pushes her husband to take this opportunity to break away from the group, but her longed-for influence brings unexpected consequences. As she seeks a refuge for her wounded faith, she learns that her passionate nature can be her greatest strength–if she can harness it effectively.

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Father's Day! Thank you for being the man in the lives of your children. May you have a wonderful day.

To celebrate the day, we are listing a few books for fathers - all cheap - because Dad has told us many times that money does not grow on trees.

The last book featured in this group is a Western, because Dad loves Westerns. He was the reader in the family and taught us to love to read. As we were growing up, he often said, "I've bought you books and bought you books. . . " Happy Fathers Day, Dad!


Become A Touchdown Dad, the Breakthrough Book by David Justus, has helped hundreds of fathers turn their love of football into a winning parenting style.

DAD: The Man Who Saved the Planet

Recalling his growing-up years in Los Angeles following World War II, author James Pratt describes twelve lessons he learned from observing his father, an unpretentious and uneducated man who acquired little of this world's wealth but who lived an honorable life.

"For some, these twelve virtues may seem antiquated, out of date, or hopelessly provincial," writes Pratt. "I don't see it that way. What my father practiced and conveyed to me were principles that made it possible for children to grow up in a stable, two-parent home, where there was a widely accepted code of decency, honesty, honor, and patriotism."

This book recalls simpler times, when Southern California was still filled with dusty little towns and when a man could have purchased the bean fields that have become LAX for $5 an acre - if he had somehow had five dollars. Readers will enjoy this loving retrospective, a fitting tribute to dads everywhere.

You can purchase DAD: The Man Who Saved the Planet for only $3.99.

There'd never been a policeman killed in the line of duty here. It was a small town in the Midwest, for God's sake. Cassie closed her eyes and made a silent wish: Please don't let anyone else die tonight.

The violence begins with a vicious attack on two young women in Chicago, revealing a dark family secret. Then a horrendous storm and a crime of opportunity plunge Mt. Vista Officer Dillon Stone into an eerie battle of wits with a madman.

A top ten pick in a romance readers poll

A recent poll of romance readers on one of Amazon's discussion boards ranked Lori Foster's Too Much Temptation in the top ten contemporary romances.

Virginal and voluptuous, Grace Jenkins has secretly loved and lusted after handsome Noah Harper for three years but he was engaged and, therefore, off-limits. Then Noah walks in on his bride-to-be with another man and abruptly breaks off the engagement, refusing to explain the reason for the canceled wedding to his family. His grandmother and his fiancée's family are outraged.

Grace rushes to defend him and is stunned when Noah responds by taking her straight to bed. She thinks this is only mutual lust and decides to enjoy the excitement for as long as it lasts while Noah quickly discovers that what he feels for Grace is much more complicated than simple lust. But convincing Grace is another matter entirely--she refuses to see herself as a permanent part of his life.

Meanwhile, Noah's ex-fiancée is stirring up trouble with his autocratic grandmother and before she's done, Noah will have to reevaluate his relationship with his grandmother, Grace will have a whole new self-image, and both will face major upheaval in their careers and personal lives.

The Sweet Magnolias series - the first four books

Sherryl Woods is well-known for her stories of small town women, their lives, and their loves. She has written several series of books, including The Sweet Magnolias, chronicling the town of Serenity, South Carolina. All of the books have received high marks by reviewers.

The third and fourth books in this series are cheap today as they are selling for less than $5 each. If you were to buy the first four in the series today, the total cost would be $19.23 - still less than $5 per book. As a courtesy to those who might want to read the earlier books, all four are listed. Ms. Woods has written three books to follow these four. All are available for the Kindle and priced at $5.76 each.



Third book in series: Helen Decatur spent a lifetime setting goals—getting through college and law school, opening her own practice, becoming financially secure and establishing herself as one of the most highly respected matrimonial attorneys in the state of South Carolina. Achieving those goals was a breeze compared to the one she's faced with now.

The most driven — and cynical — of the Sweet Magnolias, Helen is forty-two, single and suddenly ready for the family she's put on the back burner for all these years. Unfortunately, having a child at her age comes with lots of complications, not the least of which is the absence of a serious relationship in her life.

But Helen's not the type of woman to wait around for fate to step in. Taking charge of her own destiny puts her at odds with her two best friends, sets sparks flying with a man who doesn't want a family, and leads her straight into the most unexpected complication of all…love.

The third book in The Sweet Magnolias series, Feels Like Family, is available today for $4.50.

Click here to purchase Feels Like Family



Fourth book in series: When Jeanette Brioche helped launch The Corner Spa in Serenity, South Carolina, she found a whole lot more than professional satisfaction. She discovered the deep and loyal friendships that had been missing from her life. But even the Sweet Magnolias can't mend the terrible rift between Jeanette and her family or persuade her that the holidays are anything more than a season of misery.

Pushed into working on the town's much-loved annual Christmas festival, Jeanette teams up with the sexy new town manager. Tom McDonald may be the only person in Serenity who's less enthused about family and the holidays than she is.

But with tree decorations going up on the town square and a bit of romance in the air, Jeanette and Tom take a fresh look at the past and a hopeful look into the future. Together they discover that this just may be a season of miracles after all.

Welcome to Serenity, the fourth book in The Sweet Magnolia series, can be purchased today for only $4.00.

Click here to purchase Welcome to Serenity




First book in the series: Maddie Townsend might live in a town called Serenity, but there's been nothing calm or peaceful about her life since her marriage broke up. This stay-at-home mom has no job skills, an out-of-control sixteen-year-old son, a talkative fourteen-year-old who's suddenly gone silent, a six-year-old daughter whose heart is broken, an ex-husband whose younger girlfriend is expecting their baby and two best friends who think she's somehow qualified to help them open a fitness spa for women.

But if Maddie is a tad on edge with all that on her plate, it's nothing compared to the chaos that ensues when she discovers that her son's baseball coach has feelings for her and the whole town disapproves. Maddie's faced a lot of challenges lately with strength and resolve, but Cal Maddox may turn out to be more than she can handle. Then again, he could just be the one man in all of South Carolina who can help her find serenity.

Stealing Home, the first in the series, is available today for $5.69.

Second book in the series: Dana Sue might run the best little restaurant in Serenity, but when you're feeding a small town of neighbors, busybodies and best friends, things can get a bit hot in the kitchen. Never mind that she's putting on too many pounds (an occupational hazard for a chef)— she's worried about her too-skinny teenage daughter, Annie, who has been slowly starving herself since the loud, suitcase-tossing, name-calling fit on her front lawn that left Dana Sue minus one cheating husband.

But sometimes life picks strange ways to mend fences. When Annie lands in the hospital, Dana Sue reaches out to the man she loves to hate: Ron, the husband who took her heart when she tossed him out. Ron is still Annie's white knight, even if she's decidedly more tarnished in Dana Sue's eyes. But he still looks good enough to eat, and maybe, just maybe, to forgive. Once, Ron made the mistake of letting go without a proper fight. But now Dana Sue is about to get another taste of sweet devotion from a man tired of feeling like a fool, hungry for that slice of heaven he found with her.

A Slice of Heaven, second in The Sweet Magnolias series, is available today for $5.04.

SuperCheap Free! Bulls Island by Dorothea Benton Frank

SuperCheap Free! Bulls Island by Dorothea Benton Frank.

Description:
After twenty years, Elizabeth "Betts" McGee has finally managed to put her past behind her. She hasn't been home to beautiful South Carolina and untouched Bulls Island since the tragic night that ended her engagement to Charleston's golden boy, J. D. Langley.

And why is that? Really, this is the story of two old Southern families. The Langley family has more money than the Morgan Stanley Bank. And they think they have more class. The Barrett family made their nineteenth-century fortune in a less distinguished manner -- corner grocery stores and liquor stores. It's no surprise that when J.D. and Betts fall in love and decide to marry their parents are none too pleased. And when the love affair comes to an end, everyone is ready to place blame.

Now twenty years have gone by and Betts, a top investment bank executive, must leave her comfortable life in New York City to return to the home she thought she'd left behind forever. But spearheading the most important project of her career puts her back in contact with everything she's tried so hard to forget: her estranged sister, her father, J.D., and her past.
