'Sunset' by Karen Kingsbury

This is the last of the 17 books in the Baxter series.

With the demands of Hollywood life behind them for now, Dayne and Kathy Matthews continue to adjust to life in Bloomington as they look forward to a new chapter together, expanding their family. Meanwhile, the entire CKT staff is preparing for the first production in Dayne and Katy's theatre.

The Flanigans rally to support Baily and Connor as they try out for lead roles in the musical, but then the family receives tragic news that weighs heavily on everyone's minds. At the same time, Jim Flanigan faces a decision that could drastically change his family's life.

As John Baxter prepares for his marriage to Elaine Denning, one of the Baxters enters the most trying season of all. Will a time of renewed love and hope be strong enough to establish the sacred ground of marriage and chart a course for the future? And when the time comes to finally sell the beloved Baxter house, memories of times gone by meet with the changes of today, proving that only the support of faith and family can take a person into the sunset years of life.

'Unveiled' by Francine Rivers

• Tamar
• Rahab
• Ruth
• Bathsheba
• Mary

Five women whom God chose. Each was faced with extraordinary - even scandalous - challenges. Each took great personal risk to fulfill her calling. Each was destined to play a key role in the lineage of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.

With her hallmark touches of brilliant prose and gripping characterizations, Francine Rivers tells these women's stories in a way you've never heard before. Remaining true to the facts given in Scripture, she brings these long-ago women to life and lets them speak to us in new and life-changing ways.

In Unveiled, you'll meet Tamar, who risked her life to be the woman she was called to be. Learn along with her, the overwhelming truth that God uses our circumstances and our steps toward Him, however faltering, to fulfill His plan.
