Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis, Nina Dobrev, with Logan Marshall Green and Eric Dane, special appearance by Famke Janssen. Distributed by Universal Pictures with a screenplay by Francine Rivers and D.J. Caruso. California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything. Michael obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny: her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does . . . the One who will never let her go. A powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea, Redeeming Love is a life-changing story of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love. Includes a six-part reading group guide!

Romance novels, Hallmark movies . . . the immense demand for romantic stories reveals a deep, unsatisfied longing that can be found in many marriages, but does it have to be that way? Is it possible that the best marriage has to offer can grow, rather than fade after you say “I do”? Lisa and Phylicia say, “Absolutely yes!” So what is the secret to a happy, thriving, loving marriage, where the fire of romance and close friendship do not fade? While The Flirtation Experiment includes the frisky side of marriage, it’s far more than a good romp. By degrees, each chapter takes you to a deeper place, covering themes every beautiful marriage has in common, such as covenant, healing, and hope.

It helps us discover true romance waiting for us in everyday situations.” Perfect for the wife who wants romance, passion, and the closeness that only comes from a deep heart connection but isn’t sure where to start, The Flirtation Experiment is a candid, real-life record of two Christian women from different seasons of life who discovered they could make a significant impact on their marriage relationships, one small flirtatious experiment at a time.

Download or read book Washed Clean Virtuous written by Jeanne Brooks and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For since the world began, no ear has heard, and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for Him!" (Isa. 64:4). It can be so hard to imagine that there is a God who can right wrongs, fix the broken, and love the unlovable, but there is. Since the beginning of time, God set a plan in motion to do all that and more. Time and time again, God has revealed His redeeming, loving nature to us. This redeeming love is weaved through the fabric of the lives of His people and can be discovered through His story in the Bible. Washed Clean and Virtuous: God's Redeeming Love tells of the many times throughout the Bible that God called His lost, battered sheep back with Him while pouring His love upon them. There is no valley of darkness so deep or ocean of despair so wide that God cannot rescue us. There is nothing so bad that can be done to us or we can do that can separate us from this love. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him" (1 Cor. 2:9). You will find in these pages a love so faithful and long-lasting that it is able to wash you free from any shame or guilt that is currently keeping you from receiving His eternal promises.
Download or read book Twice Found written by Kyle Duford and published by Estes Press. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kyle Duford was a successful executive, mostly because he preferred working overseas to being at home in his broken marriage. But as his life took a dramatic turn, was fired, divorced, and contemplating suicide, he started to feel chased by God. That's when, as he started looking back on his life, he realized that nearly every person with whom he interacted, at nearly every stage in life, was really "Jesus with skin on," showing God's love for him. After a period of his brokenness in the days after his firing, he knew something had to change, so he hopped a flight to Maui to be alone with his thoughts and whatever the universe, or God—or whatever was out there—had in store for him. It's in those days that Jesus used nearly every person with whom he came in contact to show Kyle he was there, with him, chasing him. But God saved his biggest surprise for last: a random introduction to his life-long love with whom he hadn't had any contact in twenty-one years. Not on social. Not an email. Nothing. And that encounter would change everything. A story of life with-and-without God and how he helps us to be ourselves in a unique and authentic way so we can live life to the fullest.
