But behind the glitter of ballroom and parlor, her spirit slowly eroded in an increasingly dangerous marriage. Widowed young, determined never to lose her independence again, Blessing reclaimed her faith and vowed to use her influence to fight for women's rights and abolition.Gerard Ramsay, scion of a wealthy Boston family, arrives in Cincinnati hoping to escape his father's clutches with a strategy that will gain him independence. His plan is soon complicated, however, by the enchanting widow. Never before has a woman spoken as if she's his equal--or challenged him to consider the lives of others.In a city nearly ablaze with racial tensions quickly dividing the country, can two people worlds apart possibly find common ground?</span><br />

As the king begins a long dynastic struggle to claim the crown of France, plunging England into the Hundred Years’ War, he negotiates her betrothal to a potential ally and heir of a powerful lordship.<br /><br />But Joan, haunted by nightmares of her father’s execution at the hands of her treacherous royal kin, fears the king’s selection and is not resigned to her fate. She secretly pledges herself to one of the king’s own knights, one who has become a trusted friend and protector. Now she must defend her vow as the king—furious at Joan’s defiance—prepares to marry her off to another man.<br /><br />In A Triple Knot, Emma Campion brings Joan, the “Fair Maid of Kent” to glorious life, deftly weaving details of King Edward III’s extravagant court into a rich and emotionally resonant tale of intrigue, love, and betrayal.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span><br />

Everyone from pastors to op-ed columnists have described a crisis of masculinity, fostered by a media culture that uniformly make men the butts of jokes. Men are much more likely to give up on life than women. One indicator of this is the large gender difference in suicide rates—men are four times more likely than women to drop out of life. This points to a profound lack of effective mentoring of men, especially in the church. Dave Bruskas seeks to fill in this gap with this book. Two decades ago, Dave lost his only infant son to a congenital heart defect. That devastating loss fueled his desire to provide effective mentoring to young men. </span></span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dear Son</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> contains the guidance and insights Dave would have given his son if he had lived through the milestones of growing up: from first dates to first jobs, from weddings to births, from friendships to funerals. </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dear Son</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> contains heartfelt wisdom for life’s journey, especially for guys—and for those who want to strengthen them.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;">This is an excellent book to help today's young men. With so many men growing up without godly fathers they need this book. This book should encourage older men to help mentor young men. </span></span><br />

Aware that Ethan was a typical teenager (i.e., completely uninterested in any test) and that a mind-boggling menu of test-prep options existed, she decided – on his behalf -- to sample as many as she could to create the perfect SAT test-prep recipe.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Debbie’s quest turned out to be an exercise in both hilarity and heartbreak as she took the SAT seven times in one year and in-between “went to school” on standardized testing.

A busy, contented dad, he had vaguely noticed that Bethany, his middle child, had become withdrawn and moody, but he assumed it was part of being a “teen” and didn’t look any deeper. Until the night God spoke clearly to Brad and his wife: </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">Ask her to reveal what she has hidden</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">. They did—and learned the secret Bethany had been carrying, one that rocked their family to the core. In a desperate attempt to reach their daughter and to reconnect as a family, Brad and his wife piled everyone into the car and embarked on a wild, crazy, seven-thousand-mile, what-are-we-thinking trip across the country. As they drove, they realized how far apart they’d drifted, found unexpected blessings along the way—and journeyed together from pain and loss to recovery and redemption. In this book, Brad shares stories from the road about God’s grace, gives practical tips on what he learned about reconnecting as a family, invites you to consider your own epic journey as a mother or father, and calls you to trust wholeheartedly in the amazing love God has for your kids.</span><br />

In this adventure, the cousins meet Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock. They help smuggle musket balls, sound the alarm that the Redcoats are coming, and deliver a secret message to Paul Revere. Along the way they learn that most of the revolutionaries leaned on God’s direction and even pastors helped in the cause.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Christian parents and teachers will appreciate the historical facts as well as the biblical worldview training their kids and students will absorb. The kids will appreciate the excitement and tension of an America at war with England, and in some ways, with itself. A curriculum for Christian schools and homeschool families will be available for download at $3.99.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This book is a great resource for kids to use to learn about history in a fun and exciting way. The only thing i dislike is the way it is "dumb" down for younger kids so kids passed age 7 aren't really going to like reading them at all. But all in all a good resource for that age group (7 and under). I says it is suppose to be for ages 7 and up but i feel like that is untrue. I would recommend this to homeschool families.</span></span><br />

Each devotion sheds light on how the reader is a princess—a daughter of God, the King. The devotions also emphasize how little princesses should respond to being God’s children. Each devotion includes Royal Words (the Bible verse), Princess Thoughts (a short devotion written for early readers), a Prayer, and a Princess in Action section (an activity related to the devotion).</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">The devotions are thematic according to the calendar. For example, January features creation and February highlights love.</span><br />

<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">This is a great little devo, its Very short which is a good thing since it is a preschool edition of the book. So it would be good for little girls to have read to them.</span></span><br />

halls of a magnificent country estate like Highland Hall. Will Julia be able to
find her place when a governess is neither upstairs family nor downstairs help?
</b><br /><b> </b><br />Missionary Julia Foster loves working alongside her parents,
ministering and caring for young girls in India. But when the family must return
to England due to illness, she readily accepts the burden for her parents’
financial support. Taking on a job at Highland Hall as governess, she quickly
finds that teaching her four privileged, ill-mannered charges at a grand estate
is more challenging than expected, and she isn’t sure what to make of the
estate’s preoccupied master, Sir William Ramsey. <br /><br />Widowed and left to
care for his two young children and his deceased cousin Randolph’s two teenage
girls, William is consumed with saving the estate from the financial ruin. The
last thing he needs is any distraction coming from the
kindhearted-yet-determined governess who seems to be quietly transforming his
household with her persuasive personality, vibrant prayer life, and strong
faith. <br /><br />While both are tending past wounds and guarding fragile secrets,
Julia and William are determined to do what it takes to save their
families—common ground that proves fertile for unexpected feelings. But will
William choose Julia’s steadfast heart and faith over the wealth and power he
needs to secure Highland Hall’s future?</div>

<br />
On a small Kansas farm, Christina Willems lovingly shepherds a group of poor and displaced individuals who count on her leadership and have come to see the Brambleville Asylum for the Poor as their home. But when a fire breaks out in the kitchen leaving the house uninhabitable, she must scramble to find shelter for all in her care, scattering her dear “family.”<br />
<br />
With no other options, Christina is forced to approach Levi Jonnson, a reclusive mill owner, to take in a young blind boy named Tommy Kilgore. Levi agrees with reluctance but finds himself surprised by the bond that quickly grows between him and Tommy. As obstacles to repairing the farm pile up against Christina, she begins to question her leadership ability and wonders if she can fulfill the mission to which she's dedicated her life. And when an old adversary challenges Christina, will she find an unlikely ally—or more—in the aloof Levi? Can Levi reconcile with the rejection that led to his hermit-like existence and open his heart and life to something more, especially a relationship with a loving God?</div><div> </div><div>This book was very well written with an enjoyable story plot and an uplifting story.

Every Friday, a love poem.<br />
Every Friday for sixty years.</strong><br />
Adam Colby is just doing his job, sorting through the unsold Alexander belongings after the estate sale. He is unprepared for what he finds in an old photo album, overlooked by the bargain hounds and treasure hunters—six decades of postcards and poems from Gabe Alexander to his wife, Pearl. The mystery of the Alexanders’ love entices Adam, a man unhinged by divorce and puzzled by the depth of commitment that he finds in the unabashedly romantic cards.<br />
<br />
Forever Friday invites you to travel back in time to the early twentieth century Texas Coastal Bend where a young couple—Gabe and Pearl Alexander—are swept up in a miraculous love. As the heartwarming, pulse-quickening story of their relationship develops through Gabe’s poems, the Alexanders reveal a new way to consider what it means to be truly devoted to each other. Could the secrets of their love affair, laid to rest twenty years ago, hold the key to one man’s future?</div>This book was better then I expected, what i thought was going to be a cheesy love story turned out to be a complex well written story of two people in love that somehow made it all work. This book was very well written, i did receive a advanced readers copy so this might not be in the finished book, but i noticed several sentences that didn't flow well. But that was really my only complant. I would recommened this book to anyone looking for a short and sweet love story that mirrors one by like Nicholas Sparks.<br />
