When Kathy Vintson finds herself upside down with her underwear on full display to many members at her church one Sunday, she suddenly realizes just how chaotic the world can be. But as Kathy tries to figure out how to regain her dignity (and pull her dress down), she is reminded of the Crown Effect-that she is a daughter of the King, Whose unmerited favor is to love her, even when her granny panties are on full display. Using humor and humility as her guide, Kathy takes a deeper look into what it means to be truly loved by the King of kings and how to bask in His love and peace, even when the world feels like it is closing in."The Crown Effect makes you feel like a treasured friend is telling you a story that imparts her wisdom rather than an impersonal Bible lesson. No matter what season you are in, you will relate to this heartfelt and humorous book."Amy BowdoinHoneysuckle Drive"The Crown Effect: Abundant Life in a Chaotic World by Kathy Vintson is a must read for anyone who has ever found themselves turned upside down by the chaos of life or believing the lies of unworthiness that we are fed by this world. Once we accept Christ, we become sons and daughters of the King, yet we so often settle for less than the peace, joy, grace-filled, life of abundance He offers His children. Kathy's words are balm for hurting souls as we reorient ourselves to Who Christ is and who we are to Him. What beautiful truth this book gives every reader who is blessed to read these words!"Jen Thompson www.trulyyoursjen.com

We all go through seasons of waiting, times when God just seems to have closed His ears to us and turned His back. During those seasons, it's easy for us to give up hope and lose heart. But what if we hold on to the hope that God is working behind the scenes, even if we can't see Him? What can we learn from those times of waiting? Shannon Brink has experienced those seasons herself-after various injuries forced her to stay in bed for weeks on end, while she was facing possible infertility but longed to be a mother, as door after door closed on her dreams of living in a far-away land, and now as she waits for sleep to come while battling chronic insomnia. As a former nighttime nurse, Shannon knows that the hardest time of the waiting season is at night, when our thoughts take over and worry invades. Drawing from her own experiences and from the examples of God's people in the Bible who also experienced seasons of waiting, Shannon encourages the reader to hold on to the One Who created us and has only our good in mind. While waiting in the dark, cling to the Light.

In today's Church, we see the world beginning to filter in as people bend to the pressures of this life. But in the Scriptures, Jesus calls us to do something radical--to come and die. As we die to our flesh, we will live with the eternal reward found only in Him. But what does that kind of death look like? In Come and Die, Pastor Joshua West explores the Scriptures and extrapolates verses to show just what Christ means when He tells His followers to "take up your cross and follow Me." Are you brave enough to accept His call, or will you continue to live this shallow, empty life that holds no eternal meaning or reward?
