"I was ready to bloom in the Big Apple—until small-town love got in the way.
I was this close to making my dreams come true. Hightailing it out of small-town Florida for the Big Apple, I went to art school and was in the running for the perfect job when the aunt who raised me died. Good news: She left me everything she had. Bad news: That includes her flower shop, which I have to run successfully for a year before I'm allowed to sell it.
So now, I'm back where I don't want to be, trying to fix up a business that seems to be better at providing shelter for raccoons and cockroaches than making money. And that's when he shows up . . .
Kade Maverick. The guy who bullied me in high school. Owner of the sparkling green eyes I've never been able to ignore. He's changed somehow. It's not just that he's got a scar on his face from a motorcycle accident. He's . . . vulnerable? He has a four-year-old niece he's caring for, and he's willing to do anything to help me fix up the store.
As business starts to boom, we're getting close. Too close. Everything feels perfect.
But I'm going back to NYC when my year is up, and he's just not a part of those plans. Right?"
"A mismatch blessed by heaven...
If your husband does not share your faith, you may feel like you are walking a tightrope of spiritual survival - guarding the flame of your belief in Christ, yet unable to share it with the person you love most in the world. But your spiritually mismatched marriage can be a vibrant, blessed relationship where you're free to grow in love with God and your man!
Winning Him Without Words, written by Lynn Donovan and Dineen Miller, both Christian women married to unbelieving husbands, is your invitation to thrive instead of survive.
In addition, Lynn and Dineen share prayers and Scripture verses that have brought comfort, healing and hope to friends in their online community, spirituallyunequalmarriage.com. You are not alone! God desires to bless your marriage and grow your faith . . . in other words, He wants you to thrive."
"Partner with your Heavenly Father to bring up faithful kids...
If your husband or ex-husband doesn't share your faith, you probably pray and stress over how to raise faith-filled children. Your spiritually mismatched home may feel like the wilderness where the children of Israel wandered on their way to the Promised Land. Will they ever make it? What about God's promises?
Now the authors of Winning Him Without Words and founders of Spiritually Unequal Marriage offer ten faith principles you can pass on to your kids. In Not Alone, you'll find encouragement and inspiration from Scripture and true-life stories from other spiritually mismatched moms. Plus, find practical tips for capturing teachable moments with eternity in mind, and discovery questions to help you grow as a parent.
This is a parenting audio book, but it's much more. It's a love letter to all mothers - a message that changes our homes, our kids and our lives. It's about the Father's love that impacts those around us and changes ordinary moms into women of extraordinary grace, beauty, and wisdom.
You may sometimes feel you're on your own when it comes to godly parenting, but Jesus promised to be with you always. You're not alone!"
