“The Graces demands to be read twice: The first time for the suspense; the second for the subtleties you missed initially.” —The New York Times Book Review Everyone loves the Graces. Fenrin, Thalia, and Summer Grace are attractive, rich, and glamorous, and they’ve cast a spell over their high school—and their entire town. They’re also rumored to have powerful connections all over the world. If you’re not in love with one of them, you want to be one of them. This is especially true for River, the new girl at school. River’s different from the rest of the horde that both revere and fear the Grace family. She’s dark, aloof, and just maybe . . . magical. And she wants to be a Grace more than anything. But what the Graces don’t know is that River’s presence in their town is no accident. The first rule of witchcraft is that if you want something bad enough, you can get it . . . no matter who has to pay. “A teenage girl becomes obsessed with a family of reputed witches . . . vivid . . . powerful.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Eve conjures up an intriguing vision of small-town mystique, with the Grace family depicted as unknowable and otherworldly—the mystery of whether magic is at play hangs over much of the story—and self-involved, obsessive River’s less-than-trustworthy narration adds to the air of uncertainty.” —Publishers Weekly

Are you “living by the rules” or letting the grace of God rule you? If you’re living for God—living by the rules—you’ll always be exhausted. You’ll feel you’re not doing enough for Him and if you don’t “measure up,” He’ll be displeased. But letting His grace have its way in you is entirely different! In the Scriptures it’s an open secret that the love of God for us isn’t based on our performance for Him. He sent Christ to set us free from rules. He didn’t make us His children so we could serve Him in our own feeble power, but to let His limitless power flow through us! God the Father has provided everything we need for a truly meaningful, joy-filled life here on earth...all because of His marvelous grace. Rest in the grace of God, and let Him live through you. Find out how in The Secret of Grace.

Do you feel like your spiritual life is not growing, finding yourself questioning your salvation, asking whether you are truly saved or not, why your prayers are not being answered, and having to explain to others the reason for your faith even though you are not sure what to believe? Open this book and discover what Rohan Brooks has discovered over the years through reading, prayer, and fasting. He uncovers the true meaning of being a child of God, how to walk by the Spirit and not by the Levitical laws, receiving God's anointing with delight, and welcoming the Holy Spirit into our lives. As believers, whether we understand it or not, we are heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. God has put everything in place for mankind to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth so man can live with God, but this cannot come to pass if we remain sinful. For man to be with God, sin had to be dealt with, and God did that through His Son, Jesus, who became sin to set us free from it. The biblically-based, time-examined tenets in this book will provoke and alter the way you interpret the Bible and pray. Be prepared to move into a new element of your faith with a greater revelation of God's love and a revived appreciation that your faith mixed with prayer can truly turn the hand of God.
