Friends, you’re going to want to tune in to Teen Talk Radio on Friday, May 11th at 11sm EST for the encore presentation of this show. Both Jim and Mary have a special place in my heart because of the way they feel about YOU! They love their readers and that care is evident in every word they write.
James L. Rubart is a professional marketer, speaker, and writer. He serves on the board of the Northwest Christian Writers Association and lives with his wife and sons in Seattle, Washington.
If someone gave you a chair and said it was made by Jesus Christ, would you believe them?
When an elderly lady shows up in Corin Roscoe’s antiques store and gives him a chair she claims was crafted by Jesus, he scoffs. But when a young boy is miraculously healed two days after sitting in the chair, he stops laughing and starts wondering . . . could this chair heal the person whose life Corin destroyed twelve years ago?
As word spreads of the boy’s healing, a mega-church pastor is determined to manipulate Corin into turning over the chair. And that mysterious woman who gave him the piece flits in and out of his life like a shadow, insinuating it’s Corin’s destiny to guard the chair above everything else. But why?
Desperate, he turns to the one person he can trust, a college history professor who knows more about the legend of the chair than he’ll reveal. Corin’s life shatters as he searches for the truth about the artifact and the unexplained phenomena surrounding it. What’s more, he’s not the only one willing do almost anything to possess the power seemingly connected to the chair.
We’ll be chatting about Jim’s latest book, The Chair, as well as his other books, Rooms and Book of Days. We’ll also talk about what it’s like to parent two teenage boys these days and Jim will share from his heart with you about how he feels about teenagers.
Mary DeMuth...oh, I love me some Mary DeMuth! She’s such a joy to me–one of those rare people who wears her heart on her sleeves and loves big. Mary has a unique ability to make herself vulnerable in her writing while drawing the reader in and making it about YOU.
I love Jesus, my family, and my life. Jesus has helped me live uncaged, and for that I’m eternally grateful. In that place of thanks, I write books and blogs and whatnot.
Among other things, Mary and I will talk about her latest fiction release, The Muir House.
Willa Muir can’t say yes to the love of her life … until she explores her past and solves the mystery of a haunting dream. But when Willa’s desperate search unearths unthinkable secrets, her heart collapses. Can Willa shake her past to embrace a love that could finally lead her home?
“You’ll find home one day. Sure as sweet tea on a hot afternoon.”
Words from Willa Muir’s sketchy childhood haunt her dreams and color her days with longing, regret, and fear. What do the words mean? Willa is far from sure.
When Hale Landon places a ring on her finger, Willa panics, feeling she can’t possibly say yes when so much in her past is a mystery. Bent on sorting out her history, Willa returns to Rockwall, Texas, to the Muir House Bed & Breakfast, a former funeral home.
But the old place holds her empty memory close to itself. Willa’s mother utters unintelligible clues from her deathbed, and the caretaker of the house keeps coveted answers carefully protected. Throw in an old flame, and Willa careens farther away from ever knowing the truth.
Set in a growing suburb of Texas, The Muir House explores trauma, healing, love new and old, and the life-changing choices people make to keep their reputations intact.
