Cosmetics are substances used to enhance the appearance or scent of the human body. They are also used for the purposes of cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or alternating one's appearance. Although we call them cosmetics when used by women and toiletries when used by men, they include skin-care creams, shaving creams, lotions, powders, shampoos, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polish, makeup, deodorant, permanent waves, colored contact lenses, hair colors, hair sprays, gels, and items for dental care. However, God is not concerned with our physical appearance He is concerned with our soul. This book contains 52 original, revealing and shocking, yet Holy-Spirit inspired, thought-provoking, heartfelt devotionals-one for each week of the year. Each devotional ends with a prayer box that allows you to make a personal commitment and journal pages to jot down reflection notes on the author's experiences and your own in relation to the Word of God. Also included is a 7-Day Instructional Plan that will serve as an inspirational tool to help you create and write your own book of devotionals.

Although we call them cosmetics when used by women and toiletries when used by men, they include skin-care creams, shaving creams, lotions, powders, shampoos, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polish, makeup, deodorant, permanent waves, colored contact lenses, hair colors, hair sprays, gels, and items for dental care. However, God is not concerned with our physical appearance because these mortal bodies will one day put on immortality, and the corruptible will one day put on incorruptible. The Bible depicts us as the church, the bride of Christ who awaits the bridegroom. He is concerned with our spiritual nature. He is concerned with our soul. Can we be trusted with eternity is the question. To be presented on the Day of Judgment without spot, stain, or wrinkle, we need the cosmetic application of the Word of God. We need its life-giving water and blood as revealed in Christ Jesus to cover our confessed sins. We need it to rid ourselves of the terrible scent of sin. We need it for daily spiritual cleansing, beautifying, and for promoting our spiritual attractiveness. In other words, we need it to change us from glory to glory into the image of Christ. Our Lord and Savior is soon to return, and we need to be ready to receive him. This book contains 55 original, revealing and shocking, Holy-Spirit inspired, thought-provoking, and heartfelt devotionals written especially for black women-one for each week of the year (three extra devotionals for Week 52). Each devotional ends with a prayer box that allows you to personally commit yourselves and journal pages for you to jot down reflection notes on the author's experiences and your own in relation to the Word of God. Also included is a 7-Day Instructional Plan to use as an inspirational tool to create and write your own devotionals. There is no other book on the market like this today

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.

How do you turn your struggles into strengths? Beloved Bible teacher Sheila Walsh teaches readers how the daily spiritual practices of confession, meditation on God’s Word, and prayer result in fresh freedom in Christ. In her long-awaited book, Sheila Walsh equips women with a practical method for connecting with God’s strength in the midst of struggle. From daily frustrations that can feel like overwhelming obstacles to hard challenges that turn into rock-bottom crises, women will find the means to equip themselves for standing strong with God. Using the spiritual applications of confession, prayer, and meditation on Scripture to form a daily connection to Jesus, women will learn how to experience new joy as a child of God who is fully known, fully loved, and fully accepted. In In the Middle of the Mess, Walsh reveals the hardened defenses that kept her from allowing God into her deepest hurts and shares how entering into a safe place with God and practicing this daily connection with him have saved her from the devil’s prowling attacks. Though we will never be completely “fixed” on earth, we are continually held by Jesus, whatever our circumstances. Sheila Walsh acts as our guardian in In the Middle of the Mess as she shows us we’re not alone in our struggles, guides us through a courageous journey of self-discovery, and reminds us where to find hope, comfort, and strength in tough times.
