Looking for delightful and heartwarming stories that present familiar spiritual truths in new and insightful ways? Then you?ll definitely enjoy this collection of brief parables in the form of humorous letters sent to Pastor Mike from a fictional parishioner. The letters chronicle a five-year timeframe in the life of the small town of ?Maybe, ? Michigan, the bucolic home of such colorful establishments as the Busy Bee Caf?, Thelma's Cut-n-Curl, and America's first Refrigerator Magnet Museum. Following a folksy formula reminiscent of Garrison Keillor's ?News from Lake Wobegon, ? the homespun letters report on the people and rhythms of everyday life in a typical small town. You?ll share in events like graduations, county fairs, and weddings, and see how they offer a subtle yet compelling platform for examining universal themes of community, faith, and relationship. Each letter is linked to a scripture passage, and engages listeners with an easygoing, conversational tone.

The New York Times bestselling author examines the shocking case of a Kansas woman who murdered to become a mother. On December 16th, 2004, a 911 operator in rural Missouri received a frantic call from the mother of twenty-three-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett. The eight-months-pregnant mother-to-be had been found bleeding on her family room floor—her unborn baby gone. More than 150 miles away, in Melvern, Kansas, Lisa Montgomery proudly showed off “her” new baby, duping many while arousing the suspicions of others. Across the nation, televisions broadcast the first Amber Alert for an unborn child. Here is the true story of the frantic search for a baby born under shocking conditions, of the lucky break that led to the killer, of a tortured history of sexual abuse, and the pain that lingers in two American towns. With the exclusive cooperation of key witnesses and participants, award-winning investigative reporter M. William Phelps reveals what really happened that fateful December day. “The most disturbing and moving look at murder in rural America since In Cold Blood.” —Gregg Olsen
