Waiting for Summer’s Return
Kim Vogel Sawyer
Bethany House
Summer Steadman cannot leave the small town. The graves of her husband and children lie
just outside the city limits. A mother wouldn’t leave her children, would she? But how will she
support herself, she’s lost everything.
Widower Peter Ollenberger needs a tutor for his son, Thomas. Despite frowns from the
Mennonite community, he asks Summer, an educated lady, to stay in an outbuilding on his
farm. A bond is forged between the child, the lady, and soon the father. Will the widow and the
widower get another chance at love?
The straight-laced Mennonite community is unhappy with the outsider in their midst. But her
care for Thomas and Peter’s steadfast character leads them to allow the stranger to find
refuge. Will Summer see God hasn’t turned his back on her?
Kim Vogel Sawyer’s strong voice resonates in her debut novel for Bethany House. She has
created excellent characters for the reader to love and woven an intricate plot of love lost and
love regained. We look forward to the next book by this author.
Fury
Bill Bright and Jack Cavanaugh
Howard Books
“Once again, his best friend betrayed him.” So begins the story of sixteen-year-old Daniel
Cooper who only wants to be left alone to enjoy his music. When he witnesses a murder, but is
unable to convince his uncle he speaks the truth, he’s forced to face those he’s accused and
apologize. He knows he must run for his life.
Thus begins a tale of relentless pursuit: by a killer, an unforgiving uncle, and the Holy Spirit.
Daniel’s encounter with evangelist Charles Finney changes his life and gives him the courage
he needs to face his future.
Fury is last book of the series The Great Awakenings co-written by Bright and Cavanaugh. Fast-
paced, the exciting race with Daniel and plot twists keeps the reader turning pages.
