Liz Curtis Higgs

Warning: Laughter ahead! Liz Curtis Higgs delivers again with "Fine Print," where a businessman and the speech coach he's hired have no idea there are matchmakers at work on their behalf! Her novella is part of a delightful triple-header in Three Weddings and a Giggle. The "giggle" comes from Carolyn Zane, whose "Sweet Chariot" drops readers in on two little old ladies who purchase a motor home sight-unseen, then drag their adult grandchildren along for cross-country antics. In Karen Ball's "Bride on the Run," an heiress defies her father's demand that she marry a man she doesn't love. If only she hadn't waited until her wedding day to do so! So it's out the window, down the rose trellis ...and headlong into one escapade after another. Thoroughly fun!

Featuring Best-Selling Authors Liz Curtis Higgs, Pam Farrel, Debbie Alsdorf When we go through hard times, we long for those who understand, who have gone down this road before us. This is your tribe. In this second edition of She Writes for Him: Stories of Living Hope, you will hear voices of women sharing discoveries of hope, and even joy, they've uncovered in the most unlikely circumstances--the hard places of cancer, addiction, abuse, mental health issues, and suffering. Voices of experience, empathy, and encouragement share the shock of a cancer diagnosis, the need for a support structure, and how to endure the long haul of treatments. When addiction reaches into a family, one woman finds a way to honor her alcoholic father, another shares how to deal with addicted family members, and a third shares her path to triumph over a very real food addiction. From mental and spiritual abuse to the often-hidden shame of mental illness to escaping the violence of an outlaw gang, women relate their candid true-life stories. These transparent accounts of finding the hope Christ gives will strengthen your faith and bring you inspiration for the circumstances of your own life.

Good Women Behaving Badly A spiteful boss, a defiant employee, a manipulative mother, a desperate housewife, an envious sister...honey, we know these women. We've lived with them, worked with them, or caught a glimpse of them in our mirrors. Now let's take a look at their ancient counterparts in Scripture: Sarah mistreated her maidservant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her son, Leah claimed her sister's husband, and Rachel envied her fertile sister. They were far from evil, but hardly perfect. Mostly good, yet slightly bad. In other words, these matriarchal mamas look a lot like us. "A Slightly Bad Girl is simply this: a woman unwilling to fully submit to God. We love him, serve him, and worship him, yet we find it difficult to trust him completely, to accept his plan for our lives, to rest in his sovereignty." --from Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible

Women everywhere marvel at those "good girls" in Scripture-Sarah, Mary, Esther-but on most days, that's not who they see when they look in the mirror.

Then a worthy hero steps forward, rekindling a spark of hope. Will he risk his reputation to defend two women labeled as traitors to the Crown?
