In the little village of Bethany, Mary found her purpose in life seated at the Master's feet. Like her, all believers can find a resting place in Him. When the cares of life fail to distract us and His purpose for us becomes clearer, we see Him for what He truly is, the loving Father of us all. Readers will learn the secrets of perseverance in the face of great trial from champions in the faith; see the face that Moses saw when He met with God on the mountain; and glean from the insights of those who have successfully gone before and received their heavenly crowns. The Road to Bethany is a quiet journey of reflection and inspiration which will refresh and encourage every reader. Arranged somewhat incrementally, these essays are deliberately simple at first, then gradually increasing in depth as the road continues upward and draws closer to the Master. Perfect for personal devotions, quiet reflection or group study, these essays speak to the place in every heart that longs to know Him in a more intimate way.

*Named one of Wall Street Journal's Best Books of 2015 *Selected as a Military Times's Best Book of the Year “You’re going up the Valley.” Black didn’t know its name, but he knew it lay deeper and higher than any other place Americans had ventured. You had to travel through a network of interlinked valleys, past all the other remote American outposts, just to get to its mouth. Everything about the place was myth and rumor, but one fact was clear: There were many valleys in the mountains of Afghanistan, and most were hard places where people died hard deaths. But there was only one Valley. It was the farthest, and the hardest, and the worst. When Black, a deskbound admin officer, is sent up the Valley to investigate a warning shot fired by a near-forgotten platoon, he can only see it as the final bureaucratic insult in a short and unhappy Army career. What he doesn’t know is that his investigation puts at risk the centuries-old arrangements that keep this violent land in fragile balance, and will launch a shattering personal odyssey of obsession and discovery as Black reckons with the platoon’s dark secrets, accumulated over endless hours fighting and dying in defense of an indefensible piece of land. The Valley is a riveting tour de force that changes our understanding of the men who fight our wars and announces John Renehan as one of the great American storytellers of our time.

Using a time-travel gadget, 12-year-old Bethany, her sometimes wacky angel friend Gabriel, and their dog Oba zap through the Holy Land to find Moses as they experience a wild journey of trials, contests, rescue operations, and miracles.
