his blood: The River that he loved as a child. The River that took his father, John. The River he feared, fled . . . and has come back to now.Jacob Fielding owes the last twenty years of his life to John Clarke—the stranger who drowned saving him and his brother from their own boyish recklessness. Since that day, Jacob&’s gratitude has extended to everyone around him . . . especially Gabriel, that brave man&’s son.But while the death of John Clarke became a powerful force for good in Jacob, it has been an unshakable source of darkness in another man. When gratitude and guilt meet at the River, two decades after that fateful day, Gabriel finds himself face-to-face with a stark choice for his own future: anger or forgiveness, hatred or love, death or life.So much more than an allegory, Into the Canyon will inspire you to love deeply, forgive extravagantly, and live large.Arms of Love

century, once called William Penn’s Woods, was an assortment of different faiths living together for the first time in American history.

A simple walk in the untamed forests could result in death, if not from bullet or arrow, then from an encounter with a wild animal. Amid this time of tumult, Adam Wyse is fighting a personal battle. To possibly join the war efforts and leave his faith, which would mean walking away from the only woman he’s ever loved: Lena Yoder. But for that love he’s made a promise that may keep them apart permanently.When Adam withdraws from Lena, she’s forced to turn to his brother, Isaac, for support. Must Lena deny her heart’s desire to save Adam’s soul?And will life in this feral and primitive New World be more than this peace-keeping people can withstand?“There is a beautiful love story that unfolds within the pages . . . I was vested in the lives of these characters from the first page.” —BETH WISEMAN, best-selling author of The Wonder of Your Love and Plain ProposalThe Pearl
