The Terrorhttp://www.leisureaudiobooks.com/title.aspx?titleId=7481&aId=109079
A work of fiction, this adventure is set in the Arctic on the ship, the HMS Terror.
(Special Price: $11.30)
Their captain’s insane vision of a Northwest Passage has kept the crewmen of HMS Terror trapped in Arctic ice for two years without a thaw. But the real threat to their survival isn’t the every-shifting landscape of white, the provisions that have turned to poison, or the ship slowly buckling in the grip of the frozen ocean. The real threat is whatever is out in the frigid darkness, stalking their ship, snatching and brutally killing fellow seamen. Captain Crozier, who has taken over the expedition after the death of its original leader, Sir John Franklin, draws equally on his strengths as a mariner and on the mystical beliefs of the Eskimo woman he’s rescued as he sets a course on foot out of the Arctic and away from the insatiable beast. But every day the dwindling crew becomes more deranged and mutinous, until even Crozier begins to fear there may be no escape from an ever-more-inconceivable nightmare.

So it’s hard to say who’s more shocked when they run into each other at a local radio station where, it turns out, they’re both student interns. Adding to the fireworks are a fourteen-year-old son who probably won’t be speaking to March for much longer, a slightly tired marriage, a midlife crush, and a quantum-physics class that just might put March over the edge.

Holinesshttp://www.leisureaudiobooks.com/title.aspx?titleId=5393&aId=109079
This book on Christian religion considers the question of sin in America today. "If there is anything that characterizes God's people in America today, it is the loss of the fear of God," states Henry Blackaby, who has also authored, "Hearing God's Voice."
(Special Price: $19.19)
“If there is anything that characterizes God’s people in America today, it is the loss of the fear of God,” states Henry Blackaby . When you do not fear God, he contends, you will not fear sin. The troubling result of this issue is that many Christians fail to recognize that they have sinned against God. The lack of holiness within the Church has reached epidemic levels. “True revival can only come,” notes Blackaby , “when the people of God return to a healthy, holy fear of Him.” God, in his holiness, is grieved by our lack of it. In his worthy book, Blackaby urges believers to look inward, to see sin from God’s perspective, and to live the standard that He has set up in Scripture. He writes, ” The salvation of the nation has little do with Washington or Hollywood - it has to do with the people of God! “

Because specials are often sharply reduced -- some even less expensive than their print versions -- they make an excellent gateway or introductory offering to feature. And, because they change each month, the potential for "limited time only" and similar incentives in your marketing strategy is great.
May you have a very Merry Christmas
