Three’s a charm: chess players have demanded, and now they have, a third Chess Choice Challenge. Once again, they can enjoy a bundle of tricky and varied chess positions and test their analytical abilities. Innovative multiple-choice questions direct chess mavens’ attention to different facets of each position and identify the typical train of thought (both correct and incorrect) followed by many players. There is also a range of suggested continuations for identifying strengths and weaknesses. And, after racking their brains to come up with answers, players can then compare their findings with those of Grandmaster Chris Ward, who offers deep and imaginative analysis of the solutions.

Grandmaster and Hall of Fame chess legend Larry Evans, draws upon his vast experience as 5-time USA champion, author of 25 books, and Bobby Fischer's second, to present a fun and challenging new approach for chess players. Readers test their skills against 100 fascinating positions from actual games and must choose the best move among three choices. Each correct answer earns the reader 25 points; no points are given for incorrect choices. At the end of the series, players can calculate their own rating, be it absolute beginner or even grandmaster! In the solutions section, Evans carefully explains the proper thinking a player must employ to approach the position and why both alternatives are inferior. Readers not only find their true chess level, but get a complete course in exactly where they can go wrong.

The true-life adventures of Stacy Kanner, a single school teacher working in various small Christian schools around the world, continue in Choices, Changes, and Challenges, Stephanie Kauffman’s latest installment in her series of memoirs. As always, accident-prone Stacy witnesses the grace of God in her life in moments that could be pulled out of an action film. From riding a motorcycle with a freshly-plastered cast on her leg, to swimming with a shark in the Caribbean Sea, Stacy keeps you wondering what will happen next. Set in the 1990s, the story takes readers to various locales in Canada, the United States, Belize, Haiti, and New Zealand. Each new destination presents its share of challenges and anxieties, all of which serve to fortify Stacy’s faith and draw her closer to God. The book begins as Stacy returns to Red Lake in northern Ontario to commence a teaching position at a local church-school. At every school she bonds with students by throwing herself into their activities whole-heartedly, memorizing the Gospel of John, engaging in a fitness regimen, and even building tents in the “Arab desert.” Her passion for people and creativity is contagious! Readers will experience Stacy’s wide range of emotions as they walk with her through this time in her life, and they will also rejoice with her at the goodness of God. To be read as the fourth book in a series or as a stand-alone novel, Choices, Changes, and Challenges will inspire, delight, and challenge!
