Tiffany is used to planning Los Angeles' biggest, glitziest weddings, but her own love life is pretty non-existent. A God-fearing, 32-year-old virgin, Tiffany is committed to finding just the right husband to share her life with. She's had her eye on Myles, her church's sexiest, most sought-after bachelor - but Myles's obsession with the superficial proves problematic. In his opinion, ''you can learn to love the Lord, but you can't learn to be fine.''
In this revised edition of her frank, explosive book, evangelist Ty Adams calls on believers who love God in church, yet who go home in torment over their sex lives, to be honest with themselves about what they are doing and why.
I was born and raised in Eastern North Carolina in a Christian home. My parents belonged to a Pentecostal Holiness Church. Therefore, I really did not get to enjoy certain portions of my childhood due to all the rules of the church. When I was growing up, as it is today, no one wants to be called "the kid from the Holiness Church." With that being said, I started to do things so that I may fit in with my peers. While trying to fit in with my peers and throughout this journey we call life, I have learned some valuable lessons. In this book, I will share those lessons with you. I trust they will bless your life.
The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.
A unique and essential feature of "To Curse the Root" is Rev. Sheppard''s anointed teaching gift that simplistically unfolds her spiritual scholarship to the average Christian layman, in such a way as to stir up a hunger for the word of God, causing the scriptures in the Bible to come alive. Those who have sat under her ministry or who have heard her audio messages on the website can attest to this truth about her anointing to teach. As both a preacher, a teacher, a pastor, a counselor and since 1996 an author, Rev. Sheppard boldly explores a theme rarely touched upon in Christiandom: the invisible conflict which is fought daily in the spiritual realm. In this the second edition of her first book on the subject, Rev. Sheppard explores an area of biblical truth for many readers who may never have considered the invisible forces, --- God, Satan, angels, and demons----fully at work in their everyday struggles to be set free from strongholds and bondages of all kinds. In this, her first book on the subject, emphasis is centered on how these invisible spiritual forces impact upon bondages of the soul in general, and the addictions, in particular. Never minimizing nor negating the value of the sobriety that 12 Step Programs have provided to those who were in a lifeline, Rev. Sheppard presents an alternative model,---Recovery In Christ (the RIC Program)--- for those who have truly become "born again" and who look to Jesus Christ as their Savior, their Lord and their God and not as "a higher power" among other powers. Not only for the addict, within these pages, the reader in search of spiritual growth will also find answers to questions concerning personal trials, tribulations and troubles, with helpful insights and strategies for victorious Christian living. Other books by Rev. Sheppard include "The Making of a Prophet: A Spiritual Indictment to the Organized Church" published by Author House in June, 2005 and her soon to be released third book called "Faces of the Religious Demon."

“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.
Featured in multiple “must-read” lists, No One Tells You This is “sharp, intimate…A funny, frank, and fearless memoir…and a refreshing view of the possibilities—and pitfalls—personal freedom can offer modern women” (Kirkus Reviews). If the story doesn’t end with marriage or a child, what then? This question plagued Glynnis MacNicol on the eve of her fortieth birthday. Despite a successful career as a writer, and an exciting life in New York City, Glynnis was constantly reminded she had neither of the things the world expected of a woman her age: a partner or a baby. She knew she was supposed to feel bad about this. After all, single women and those without children are often seen as objects of pity or indulgent spoiled creatures who think only of themselves. Glynnis refused to be cast into either of those roles, and yet the question remained: What now? There was no good blueprint for how to be a woman alone in the world. It was time to create one. Over the course of her fortieth year, which this “beguiling” (The Washington Post) memoir chronicles, Glynnis embarks on a revealing journey of self-discovery that continually contradicts everything she’d been led to expect. Through the trials of family illness and turmoil, and the thrills of far-flung travel and adventures with men, young and old (and sometimes wearing cowboy hats), she wrestles with her biggest hopes and fears about love, death, sex, friendship, and loneliness. In doing so, she discovers that holding the power to determine her own fate requires a resilience and courage that no one talks about, and is more rewarding than anyone imagines. “Amid the raft of motherhood memoirs out this summer, it’s refreshing to read a book unapologetically dedicated to the fulfillment of single life” (Vogue). No One Tells You This is an “honest” (Huffington Post) reckoning with modern womanhood and “a perfect balance between edgy and poignant” (People)—an exhilarating journey that will resonate with anyone determined to live by their own rules.
