Take Two (39 page)

She fell asleep certain that the one thing she didn’t want was an existence of half-hearted connections and meaningless runthroughs.
Never mind that Cody didn’t see her as the girl of his dreams, the girl he was saving his love for. They had this between
them, a wonderful bond that some people could spend their whole lives seeking.

Before she was fully asleep, she made up her mind about something: she would rather be alone than have a love that was less
intimate than what she still shared with Cody Coleman. They had found something special these past few days. A deep friendship-love
that had come to life once more amidst the presence of northern copperhead snake branches and laughter and God.

Most of all, God.

Could they change the world — before the world changes them?

Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison left the mission field of Indonesia for the mission field of Hollywood with a dream
bigger than both of them. Now they have done the impossible: raised enough money to produce a feature film with a message
that could change the world.

But as Chase and Keith begin shooting, their well-laid plans begin to unravel. With millions of dollars on the line, they
make a desperate attempt to keep the film from falling apart — even as a temperamental actress, a botched production schedule,
and their own insecurities leave little room for the creative and spiritual passion that once motivated them. Was God really
behind this movie after all? A chance meeting and friendship with John Baxter could bring the encouragement they need to stay
on mission and produce a movie that will actually change people’s lives.

In the midst of the questions and the cameras, is it possible to keep things above the line and make a movie unlike anything
done before — or is the risk too great for everyone?

A wall went up around Alex Brady’s heart when his father, a New York firefighter, died in the Twin Towers. Turning his back
on the only woman he ever loved, Alex shut out all the people who cared about him to concentrate on fighting crime. He and
his trusty K9 partner, Bo, are determined to eliminate evil in the world and prevent tragedies like 9-11.

Then the worst fire season in California’s history erupts, and Alex faces the ultimate challenge to protect the community
he serves. An environmental terrorist group is targeting the plush Oak Canyon Estates. At the risk of losing his job, and
his soul, Alex is determined to infiltrate the group and put an end to their corruption. Only the friendship of Clay and Jamie
Michaels — and the love of a dedicated young woman — can help Alex drop the walls around his heart and move forward into the
future God has for him.

Aaron Hill has it all — athletic good looks and the many privileges of a star quarterback. His Sundays are spent playing NFL
football in front of a televised audience of millions. But Aaron’s about to receive an unexpected handoff, one that will give
him a whole new view of his self-centered life.

Derrick Anderson is a family man who volunteers his time with foster kids while sustaining a long career as a pro football
player. But now he’s looking for a miracle. He must act as team mentor while still striving for the one thing that matters
most this season — keeping a promise he made years ago.

Megan Gunn works two jobs and spends her spare time helping at the youth center. Much of what she does, she does for the one
boy for whom she is everything — a foster child whose dying mother left him in Megan’s care. Now she wants to adopt him, but
one obstacle stands in the way. Her foster son, Cory, is convinced that 49ers quarterback Aaron Hill is his father.

Two men and the game they love. A woman with a heart for the lonely and lost, and a boy who believes the impossible. Thrown
together in a season of self-discovery, they’re about to learn lessons in character and grace, love and sacrifice.

Because in the end, life isn’t defined by what takes place on the first day of the week, but how we live it between Sundays.
