This is a fast paced techno thriller novel. It is also a story about the strained relationship bween a father and daughter and how they learn to trust God when things seem impossible.

His daughter, Sharon, is a journalist looking for the truth. Their combined talents, knowledge and determination to expose these sinister plans puts their lives in jeopardy, This book is full of suspense and intrigue and will hold your interest to the end.

Robert L. Wise has written and published many exciting books, some of which we have in our church library. The co-author of the book William Louis Wilson, Jr. is currently employed by the by the Department of Defense. He has initiated and participated in federal investigations that expose fraud and waste at the highest levels of our government.

We have something very special in our library. It is the first edition of a book called The Steeplechase by our own Marian Deever Everson. It is a very attractive bound collection of messages that she wrote and published monthly for the Presbyterian Women in the years 1978-2002. Each year she chose a category with titles such as Light, Mirror and Boil, Bubble, Toil and Trouble. Each month she wrote an interesting article on that year's subject. You can have one of your own. They are for sale at $10. Any additional donation will help defray the cost of the printing. Marian will be happy to sign the books that are sold.
