Book Signing: Robert Cook.
2-4 p.m. Cook, a resident of Ballground, GA, will be available to sign copies of his book, The Jerusalem Church: Learn Not The Way Of The Heathen. The concept of the absolute biblical truth is fading away, and it is being replaced by seeker-sensitive doctrine that desires not to offend. It seeks the pleasure of this world and not the things of God. The church has been led astray by a desire to be accepted and to fit in. But by forsaking scriptural integrity, the body of Christ can largely be seen chasing spiritual rabbit trails, entangled in every sort of worldly device. But God is calling his church back to basics. And what are the basics? Taking us back to the early church's beliefs, Robert Cook brings clarity to the murky waters of supposed Christian tradition. By illuminating the worldview that Christ gave to his followers, The Jerusalem Church gives us the pure doctrines of the church before it was entrenched in heresy, corruption, and wealth. Books-A-Million, 1810 Cumming Highway, Canton. For more information, please call 888-361-9473 or e-mail

7 p.m. Michael Connelly. Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years. With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again. Michael Connelly is the bestselling author of the Harry Bosch series of novels as well as The Poet, Blood Work, Void Moon, Chasing the Dime,
and the #1 New York Times bestsellers The Scarecrow and The Lincoln Lawyer. He is a former newspaper reporter who has won numerous awards for his journalism and his novels.
