    David and Bathsheba – Save $13

    David and BathshebaDavid and Bathsheba by Roberta Kells Dorr

    David and Bathsheba is a spellbinding story of a gifted king and the woman he loved but could not have.  Told from Bathsheba’s perspective, author Roberta Kells Dorr brings to life the passion that almost cost David his kingdom and tested a people’s courage and faith in God.

    David and Bathsheba is colored richly with details of Bible-era Israel-from the details of the everyday way of life to details of the Jewish religion.  Dorr brilliantly merges reality with folklore as she tells the story of two great characters of the biblical era. The book starts out with Bathsheba as a young girl and David as a strong willed rebellious military leader.  It details the way they met and follows them all the way through their difficulties.

    In 1808, when Emma meets and marries Eric Montclaire (the famed “most handsome man west of the Appalachians”), this young daughter of prominent St. Louis citizens believes a fairy tale has just begun. Instead, her husband’s angelic looks quickly prove only to mask a monstrous soul all too capable of possessive emotions and physical abuse. Praying for mercy, she is devastated when Eric insists on her joining his yearlong group expedition to the Pacific Ocean, following the trail Lewis and Clark blazed just a few years earlier. By the time cartographer Luke Bowen realizes Emma’s plight, it’s too late to easily untangle what has become an epic web of lies, theft, murder, courtroom drama, and a deep longing for love.

    Does your car CD collection range from the best of rock-n-roll classics to the best of Barney? Does your idea of a good dinner out mean crayons and paper placemats for all? Can hearing the words “I love you, Mommy” make your whole day? Then chances are good that you are not only a mother of a preschooler (or soon-to-be one), but that you are in need of some laughter, inspiration, and camaraderie from other women who’ve been there.

    Let’s face it: Our little bundles of joy and boundless energy don’t come with instructions, and every mom undoubtedly thinks at one time or another: “Am I doing this right?!” In this uplifting collection, you’ll find true stories about the day-to-day minutiae and miracles of being the mom to a preschooler: from finding peace and purpose in what can seem (and look!) like chaos to solving sibling rivalry and celebrating sibling revelry; from the sorrow of letting go to enjoying some personal independence as your “big kid” goes off to school. Included are stories from well-known MOPS speakers, Lisa Moffitt and Rochelle Nelson.

    Too many of us have invested ourselves into relationships that left us deeply wounded. We’ve been abandoned or taken advantage of, and left with little to show for what we’ve given. We’ve lost our sense of security and personal value in the process.

Henry Cloud and John Townsend offer solid guidance for making safe choices in relationships, from friendships to romance. They help identify the nurturing people we all need in our lives, as well as ones we need to learn to avoid.

    Lifelong Love Affair: How to Have a Passionate and Deeply Rewarding MarriageLifelong Love Affair: How to Have a Passionate and Deeply Rewarding Marriage
    by Jimmy Evans, Frank Martin

    God didn’t create marriage to frustrate us, test us, or to make us feel unworthy or inadequate. He created marriage to be the most fulfilling and sacred of all human covenants. It was designed to be passionate and rewarding and to meet our deepest needs and desires. And it was meant to last a lifetime. So how do you build an indestructible marriage that is filled with passion, purpose, and excitement?

    In Lifelong Love Affair, Jimmy Evans shows couples how to embrace God’s dream for their marriage, cultivate romance and fun, and fulfill each other’s spiritual, emotional, and sexual needs. With more marriages today ending in divorces than ever before, and more young people cohabiting rather than getting married, the message of this book is sorely needed. Any married couple and anyone considering marriage will find Lifelong Love Affair an essential tool they will turn to again and again for inspiration and strength.
