Finally, in her third stop, she takes readers to the hardscrabble hometown of Malachi, where a pack of Scarlet O'Hara wannabes learn how to hold on to hope when their biblical Tara is trashed. $lt;p>$lt;B>Features:$lt;/B> $lt;BR>$lt;UL>$lt;LI>Second in a series written specifically to help people better engage with and understand the Bible. $lt;LI>Interactive DVD of the author's own book group discussing select questions from each chapter. $lt;LI>Unique (and refreshing) questions thoughout each chapter get the reader thinking of how to apply biblical truths to their own life journey.$lt;/UL>
