Book Description
Giving Thanks for a Perfectly Imperfect Life dispels the worldly lie that perfection is (1) attainable or (2) desirable. As a recovering perfectionist, Michele Howe can speak from personal experience how damaging and paralyzing spending one’s life in pursuit of perfection on any plane is to us spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Perfectionists believe they can control their relationships, lives, environments, as well as the people around them—but the Bible teaches us that only God is in control. True safety and inner peace come from submitting ourselves to the loving and sovereign control of God; not from our attempts to manipulate, maneuver, or massage circumstances to our liking. This book will help Christian readers see through the untruths of striving for perfection and find true contentment, rest, and peace by learning to love the imperfect in life as we watch God restore, redeem, and remake our lives according to his purpose and plan. Giving Thanks for a Perfectly Imperfect Life addresses the most common life scenarios that perfectionists attempt to control. Each of the 25 chapters includes A Bible passage A quotation A real-life account An essay focusing on the specific chapter topic A takeaway action thought A prayer Several suggestions for practical steps to offer thanks for our imperfect lives Perfect for women’s small groups and book clubs, it’s a practical book that will help readers find true contentment, rest, and peace in God.

I Am In Control

Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
Do you desire to live your life to your greatest potential? Do you get in your own way because of fear of the unknown? I Am in Control is a book full of tools that I have used to overcome my struggles of self-doubt and self-worth. I realized that God's Word outlined everything I needed to understand the power I have within me, and I want you to understand that you pose that same power. We are people that are already equipped to do the things necessary to fulfill our purpose, yet so many of us do not live to see our greatest potential. Why? Because we doubt God. By doubting ourselves, we are doubting God's work. He tells us many times that we are already equipped. From birth, we were created with a plan. Our lives are not an accident but on purpose. We are not here to just exist. We are here to encourage. We are here to love. We are here to be evidence of God's existence. We are here to impact lives. We are here to do the work that God has assigned us to. I know that we don't always know what that work is initially. God has created us already equipped with a plan, so lean on those instincts that are within you, those gut pulls, those heavy desires on your heart, those visions that are constantly running in your head, those urges to do something amazing. Run with all of that. God has placed it in you. You must believe. You must act on those urges. You must move on those thoughts. You must have faith that God got you. You must know that you are equipped. You have to know that God makes no mistakes. You have to make the choice that you will walk in the promises that God has created for you. Through this book, I share my journey to this realization. I equip you with the tools I used to overcome myself. I pray that this helps you on your journey to living your best life.

"There is more to you than meets the eye," he explained. "Whenever you look in the mirror, I know you only expect to see your image, but your image reflects only how you look on the outside. There is so much more to you than your physical appearance. There is more to you than the mirror can show you. If you are like most people, you have bought into the notion that mirrors don't lie. But I am here to tell you that mirrors do lie. They tell you half-truths, which are nothing more than lies. They never reveal who you are on the inside. I am here to take you beyond the ordinary limits of the mirror. . .

Pages : 108
Book Description
I should have known better than to flirt with a hot cop. Jack In my world as a police officer, things were either black or white. Right or wrong. Then Bailey arrived, challenging all my principles. She had a mouth on her, the level of sass matching the exaggerated swing of her hips. I couldn't get her out of my head, even knowing she wasn't right for me. I tried to stay away, I really did. But once I had a taste, I kept coming back for more. Something didn't add up though, and I would figure it out even if it ultimately meant we couldn't be together. Bailey The only thing sexier than his dimple was the set of handcuffs the hottie detective threatened to use on me. If only he'd give me a chance to show him I was more than the tough-girl exterior I'd carefully crafted over the years. Oh yeah, and if I wasn't engaged in criminal activity that would land me in handcuffs...and not in a sexy way. More like an orange jumpsuit way, and I can tell you now, no way in hell would I be caught dead in an ugly jumpsuit. No matter which way this thing ends, I'll be in handcuffs. The question is, will Jack join me in the grey area? Or will I have to do the impossible and admit I was wrong? Handcuffed Hussy is a companion novella in a series of small town romance novels with more than a splash of humor from a USA Today Bestselling author. If you like strong, sassy heroines, witty banter, and happily ever afters set at the beach, then you’ll love Marika Ray’s Beach Squad series.
