With the beginning of a new month, our September Special Audio books are now available. These specials appeal to a variety of interests, offering something for everyone. Listen to the following:

The Terror
http://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.

This novel by Claire Cook, author of "Must Love Dogs," is an effervescent story of family life that will strike a chord with women of all ages.
(Special Price: $10.35)

“If Must Love Dogs is any indication of her talents, readers will hope that Claire Cook will be telling breezy summer stories from the South Shore of Massachusetts for seasons to come.”Washington Post “Her quirky voice and sense of humor are as strong as ever.”Orlando Sentinel“A sweet and humorous suburban domestic comedy with likable characters that will have readers firmly in March’s corner.”Booklist“A quick, breezy summer pleasure.”Miami Herald“Pitch-perfect.”Chicago Tribune“A hoot.”Boston GlobeThere was a time when March Monroe thought that she and her daughter, Olivia, would never really cut the cord. They’d just upgrade to a wireless connection. Now, Olivia is heading off to college, and March hasn’t even told her that she’s decided to continue her own higher education. 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. This new novel from the author of Must Love Dogs is an effervescent story of family life that will strike a chord with women of all ages. Required reading!

Holiness
http://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! “

PS. 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.
