When God Happens
Miracles still happen. The God who parted the Red Sea and raised people from the dead is no different today than he was in Bible times.
Best-selling authors Angela Hunt and Bill Myers have brought together a collection of true and powerful stories of God’s miraculous power at work today. Miracles that defy logic. Miracles that happen to everyday people just like you. Miracles by a God who refuses to be bound by natural laws or human reasoning.
These true accounts provide encouragement to Believers and food for thought to the skeptic. They challenge us to turn to and trust in a God who has our best interests in mind. Physical healing with no medical explanation, angelic visits, and supernatural protection are only a few of the themes covered in Volume One of When God Happens.

Two women occupy a place in Herod’s court: the first, Salome, is the king’s only sister, a resentful woman who has been told she is from an inferior race, a people God will never accept.
The second woman, Zara, is a lowly handmaid who serves Salome, but where Salome spies conspiracies and treachery, Zara sees people in need of understanding and compassion.
The powerful and the powerless, the Idumean and the Jew, the selfish and the selfless—both women struggle to reach their goals and survive in Herod the Great’s tumultuous court, where no one is trustworthy and no one is safe. Now available for pre-ordering!

Dogs do speak. But only to those who know how to listen.
This little book came to me in a flash while I was vacuuming. When I began to weep, I shut off the vacuum and hurried to my computer, where I typed out a draft of the work that became Sit. Stay. Forever. I posted a copy to my Facebook page, and when the reaction of readers equalled my own, I knew I had to publish those verses as a book.
Sometimes small books can have the biggest emotional impact, because the emotion isn't in the words, it's in the heart of the reader. The words and illustrations on the page remind us of the precious relationships in our lives and bring us back to an awareness of and appreciation for those beloved friends.
Sit. Stay. Forever is the perfect book for anyone who loves dogs. The hardback comes with a dust jacket and makes a wonderful gift for dog lovers. There's even a page for the recipient to paste a picture of their beloved canine.
Sit. Stay. Forever reminds readers that this world was never intended to last forever. The Word of God tells us that a new heaven and new earth are coming, new creations that will be populated with animals and believers. I believe our loving God may well allow our beloved pets to be with us on that new earth and in the new heaven. After all, Jesus comes back to earth on a white horse, so heaven definitely has a stable! (Rev. 6:2).

The auburned-haired O'Connor women share a bond far deeper than their striking physical appearance: These courageous, high-spirited women all push against societal limits in this exciting historical, romantic novel that spans generations and countries.
It is said that as Cahira, daughter of the great Irish king Rory O'Connor, lay dying of a wound from a Norman blade, she beseeched God that others would follow her calling. To Kathleen O'Connor, Cahira's story was nothing more than a fable--until research divulged that the tale was true. As a stunned Kathleen realizes that she herself bears the mark of Cahira, she wonders if she is destined to continue the legacy.
To uncover the answers, Kathleen delves into the past to find the truth about the Heirs of Cahira O'Connor. It is a journey that carries her across generations, from the battlefields of 13th-century Ireland to the castles of 15th-century Prague, and through a past filled with peril, courage, vengeance, love, and sacrifice beyond anything she has ever known.
All four volumes are combined into one ebook and bargain priced at $9.99. Amazon Kindle books can be read on an ipad or any e-reader with the Amazon Kindle app.

The Woman from Lydia
THE WOMAN FROM LYDIA is a terrific story. I love the way Hunt weaves history throughout to bring readers into ancient times. The book is rich in detail, and the characters are fully rendered. Lessons and scripture smoothly woven into the story. And I love a happy ending. —Francine Rivers, author of THE MASTERPIECE
Angela Hunt is a gifted writer, and The Woman from Lydia is more proof of that. I completely lost my heart to Euodia, Ariston, and Sabina. Hunt doesn’t shrink from the harsh reality of life in the first century Roman world. Life was cheap. But Messiah Yeshua taught His followers to love others, and we see that in the actions of the main characters of this story. A beautiful beginning to a new series. --Robin Lee Hatcher, author of All She Ever Dreamed
More info →"I couldn’t stop reading. A long-proven, gifted storyteller, Angela Hunt takes her craft to new heights—and depths—as she fully immerses us in the lives and struggles of first century followers of Yeshua. I had to learn the truth about what happens to Euodia and those she loves—and those who may wish her harm. Hunt’s vast biblical knowledge shines through on every page while never overshadowing her master storytelling. Pure pleasure!" --Tamera Alexander, bestselling author of Colors of Truth
