As they join together for the same cause, could they also find a second chance at happiness?" - back cover

Grace McCready was a thin, beautiful girl; but when she looked in the mirror, all she saw was fat and ugly. What started out as her trying to lose a little weight by slowly changing her diet led to her telling endless lies, starving herself, and exercising herself nearly to death. As Grace developed a relationship with Ed (her eating disorder), she kept believing lies about who she was instead of believing the truth about who God created her to be. When her family finally realized the health crisis she was in, Grace was already so involved in her new lifestyle that she didn't want to give it up. But with the support help of her family, doctors, counselors, and God, Grace discovered what real recovery looks like. If you're ready to discover what real recovery looks like, then this book is for you. By sharing personal experiences from her battle with anorexia and her much longer recovery process that followed, Grace helps readers see the reality of eating disorders and recovery. She discusses the truths she needed to hear during her recovery from anorexia, and she candidly shares her past and current struggles with her physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health related to her eating disorder. Her desire is for young women to have realistic, while still hopeful, expectations for their eating disorder recovery and for them to know that every small step they take in the right direction-whether in their physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual recovery-is always worth it.

Once "one nation under God," America today is desperately sick. And the Church seems to have no answers. How can a nation so "churched" be so untouched by the Gospel? Why has "the Glory departed," leaving a nation racked by political hatred, drug addiction, and shattered families? God, Caesar, and Idols asks these questions and calls the Church to seek God's Word for answers. Too many Christians no longer make political choices on the basis of eternal truth, but instead make them on the basis of purely financial considerations. It's time for the Church to break its addiction to humanistic, government schooling and instead "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." This book challenges the Church to reject "cheap grace" and the easy temptation to be "tolerant" of society's rebellion. We must again honor the authority of God's Word and embrace the life-altering power available when we reject our cultural idols and proclaim "the whole counsel of God" without compromise. Armed with careful scriptural exegesis and supported by the words of great Christians from church history, God, Caesar, and Idols encourages the American Church to again "contend for the faith" in today's culture-whatever the cost.

Is your heart touched by the emotional distress, mental illness, hopelessness, despair, addiction, fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and fatigue that characterizes our day? Within the foundations of despair and hopelessness is the cry, "Can someone help me? Can someone call on God for me?"God is not deaf to the cries of this generation-He created you with this generation in mind. He is counting on you to step out and meet the needs of this day and age. He has equipped you for the difficult times ahead. Allow God to guide and to work through you. Display His splendor to those around you.

Jesus told His followers to go into the world and preach the Good News. However, many Christians aren't fulfilling this Great Commission. The call to "evangelize" conjures up uncomfortable images of walking inner city streets with a megaphone. We don't relish facing possible ridicule so prevalent in society today, so we hesitate to reach out. But we are called to witness. And it isn't that difficult. When we anchor in the goodness of Christ, we realize that sharing the Gospel is a profound honor. The Ministry of the Unveiled Face grounds us in the simplicity of sharing Christ in the everyday. The meekness of the call lies in our being responsive and obedient to God's prompting as we interact with others. Anchored in persevering prayer, we speak scriptural truths into the lives of others as the Holy Spirit leads. Like the unveiling of a beautiful bride at her wedding, the spiritual veil is removed and Christ's truth and goodness are revealed.

Her extraordinary beauty sentences her to a life she does not want. King Solomon is well-known as a wise man and the wealthiest king to have ever lived. But with great power often comes great corruption, and Solomon unfortunately allowed himself to be lured by the many temptations this world has to offer-including the hundreds of wives and concubines he brought into his court. But who were these women? What was life like for them in Solomon's harem? Nalussa is a simple Jewish girl, living with her family in a small town a day's travel from Solomon's kingdom. When a strange man meets her one day at the town well, Nalussa suddenly finds herself whisked away from all that she wants and desires to fulfill the lusts of a king she has never met. But one word of outcry can lead to her family's harm and her own disgrace and removal from society. While giving in to her new life at Solomon's palace, Nalussa still holds onto hope that God will rescue her. When the king suddenly dies, the kingdom is in turmoil over who will be king next. Could this be her opportunity to escape? But where will she go, and will anyone want the king's concubine? S.A. Jewell looks at life in Solomon's harem through the eyes of a concubine, taking the reader on a quest through Scripture to see a different side to the king who was given great wisdom and wealth from the one true God. Did Solomon die outside the will of God? And who is the mysterious woman he writes to in Song of Songs? In Solomon's Concubine, S.A. Jewell uses historical references and Scripture to dive into a deeper part of Solomon's kingdom and to show how God is always faithful, even when we may doubt His plan.
