1: Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2: that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3: And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4: There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6: 1-4 NKJV) 13: "I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven." (Daniel 4:13 NKJV) 17: "This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men."(Daniel 4:17 NKJV) What are we to believe when we discover that what we've always thought and believed is so extraordinarily different, it's beyond our wildest imagination?

This collection bundles two of beloved author Jolina Petersheim’s novels into one e-book for a great value! The Outcast (2014 “Christian Retailing’s Best” award finalist!) Raised in an Old Order Mennonite community, Rachel Stoltzfus is a strong-willed single woman, content living apart from mainstream society until whispers stir the moment her belly swells with new life. Refusing to repent and name the partner in her sin, Rachel feels the wrath of the religious sect as she is shunned by those she loves most. She is eventually coerced into leaving by her brother-in-law, the bishop. But secrets run deep in this cloistered community, and the bishop is hiding some of his own, threatening his conscience and his very soul. When the life of Rachel’s baby is at stake, however, choices must be made that will bring the darkness to light, forever changing the lives of those who call Copper Creek home. The Midwife Since the day Rhoda Mummau was baptized into the Old Order Mennonite Church and became the head midwife of Hopen Haus, she’s been torn between the needs of the unwed mothers under her care and her desire to conceal the secrets of her past. Contact with the outside world could provide medical advantages, but remaining secluded in the community gives her the anonymity she craves. Graduate student Beth Winslow is on a path she never would have chosen. Heartbroken after surrendering a baby to adoption, she devotes herself to her studies until she becomes pregnant again, this time as a surrogate. But when early tests indicate possible abnormalities, Beth is unprepared for the parents’ decision to end the pregnancy—and for the fierce love she feels for this unborn child. Desperate, she flees the city and seeks refuge at Hopen House. Past and present collide when a young woman named Amelia arrives to the sweeping countryside bearing secrets of her own. As Amelia’s due date draws near, Rhoda must face her past and those she thought she had left behind in order for the healing power of love and forgiveness to set them all free.

In Omaha, Nebraska, the year 1900, the world revolves around Henry Taylor. No Going Back follows him on his mission to reclaim what (he considers) is rightfully his. He believes his wife, Rachel, ran off to Nevada with a gambling man, and he believes his twelve-year-old daughter, Tess, ran away four days later to find them. In Cheyenne, Wyoming he meets up with silver-tongued Joshua Baker, a minister who befriends, counsels and then swindles him. The story also follows Rachel and Tess as they each face agonizing hardships but also find true integrity in others. For Rachel, it's in Janey Walker, a wise and gracious woman in her fifties. For Tess, it's the Coles, a family full of love and spirit. Day by day, mother and daughter subconsciously experience each other's emotions, keeping them close at heart until they find their way back to each other. With unexpected twists and turns, this book flows with happenstance and circumstance. It explores Native American life from a distinct perspective. It looks at organized religion, from the practical and honorable to the misuse and disgrace than can occur within it. These issues, which are just as pertinent in our world today, are put forward in this era often misconstrued as naïve and sometimes even archaic. "A woman walks out on her husband to find a new life for herself and her daughter. Well written.a page turner." -Kirkus Discoveries
