Congratulations February 2010 First Place Winner! Hearts Crossing

Title: Hearts Crossing
Author: Marianne Evans
Trailer Creator: Marianne Evans



Blurb:
Collin Edwards, a former parishioner at Woodland Church of Christ, has renounced God without apology, his faith drained away in the face of a tragic loss.

Daveny Montgomery cares deeply about her relationship with God, and the community of Woodland . Lately she's been in a rut, longing for something to reignite her spiritual enthusiasm.

A beautification project at Woodland seems the answer for them both. Daveny spearheads the effort and Collin assists, but only with the renovations, and only because he wants to know Daveny better. Despite his deepening feelings for her, even stepping into the common areas of the church stirs tension and anger.

Can Daveny trust in Collin’s fledgling return to faith? And can Collin ever accept the fact that while he turned his back on God, God never turned his back on him?

February 2010 Entry #17 Courting Miss Lancaster

Author: Sarah M. Eden
Trailer Creator: Sarah M. Eden



Blurb:
Harry Windover adores blonde, green-eyed Athena Lancaster, but alas, a penniless man like himself has no hope of winning a young noblewoman's hand. To add insult to injury, Athena's brother-in-law and guardian, the Duke of Kielder, has asked Harry to assist Athena in finding the gentleman of her dreams. But the lovesick Harry is cunning as well: as the weeks pass, he introduces Athena to suitors who are horrifically boring, alarmingly attached to their mothers, downright rude, astoundingly self-absorbed, and utterly ridiculous.

Athena can't comprehend why she is having so little success meeting eligible and acceptable gentlemen. Indeed, her circle of admirers couldn't be less admirable--nothing like the loyal, gentle friend she's found in Harry. But how long can Harry's scheme be hidden before it is discovered? And what will Athena do when she uncovers Harry's deception?

Escape into a charming regency world in this delightfully romantic comedy of manners that will entertain you to the very last word.

February 2010 Entry #14 Looking for God within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion

Ttitle: Looking for God within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion
Author: AW Schade
Trailer Creator: AW Schade



Blurb:
A layman's odyssey every ’open-minded’ Atheist, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Agnostic, or Spiritual seeker should ponder!

Devastated by his young daughters' tragic death, Jacob is determined to find God to ask Him why He allowed her tragedy to occur. No longer sure where to find Him, or if God truly exists, Jacob travels through the 'Ancient Gates of Abraham' to wander across the contradictory and prejudiced roads within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion. Repeatedly challenged to remain open-minded he engages religious leaders, devout followers, agnostics and atheists along passages as ‘Born again Street’, 'Fundamentalist Drive’, ’Junction of the Majority’, ‘Path of Disbelief’, and many more, in commonsense conversations to understand why their philosophy alone will lead him to God, or prove God's non-existence. Yet the further he travels the more confused he becomes, and it is not until his arduous journey nears its end that he recognizes a culminating revelation – insight he was not expecting to unearth.

· Engaging, educational and compassionate - based on religious facts

· A fictional bridge to the more comprehensive and non-fictional viewpoints
on God, Religion, Secular and Spiritual values

· Unbiased introduction to the deep-seated strife between and within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

· Challenges each reader to reflect on their personal faith, or non-belief, and tolerance of others with differing views
