    "A warm and witty tale that will grab you by the heart!"--DENISE HUNTER, bestselling author of the Riverbend Romance series 
     
    Samuel was back. It seemed unfair to be blindsided. And in church no less. Shouldn't there be a commandment about that? Thou shalt not step foot inside thy ex's place of worship. 
     
    Julia Monroe has just turned forty and has high hopes for a fresh start after the last decade of her life abruptly left her a young widow and a single mom. With both her boys off to college, she can finally focus on expanding her New Orleans-based cleaning business. Julia is ready for new beginnings--but God has other plans. Samuel Reed, the ruggedly handsome Green Beret who shattered her heart over twenty years ago, has returned to town and is the kind of distraction she never saw coming. 
     
    After their first interaction in years leaves her mind spinning and her emotions out of control, Julia knows she needs to avoid him if she wants any chance of preventing history from repeating itself, but her meddling best friend keeps throwing them together. And now it seems inevitable that the man who was hard to forget might just be impossible to resist.

    He Only Asked, “What Are You Wearing?” 
    He didn’t tempt me; he woke what was already alive in me. 
    This isn’t rebellion or romance; it’s revelation. 
    The quiet war inside every believer who loves God and still flirts with what He already said no to. 
    It is the collision of science and Spirit, dopamine and desire, prayer and panic, conviction and chemistry, inside one heart that craves holiness and heat at the same time. 
    I’m not pretending to be good; I’m learning what good costs. 
    I pray, I bargain, I cross lines, and I keep meeting a God who will not look away while His child drowns beneath her own worship. 
    This book doesn’t whisper. 
    It tears the curtain from what we call struggle and leaves truth standing unashamed in the light. 
    Christiana is the voice through which Faith Ige tells the stories we hide from God and the grace that keeps finding us.

    Watch the Bible come alive in your life like never before. Many Christians long for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God’s Word—but engaging with Scripture on our own can feel intimidating. We often rely on the writings of others to help us understand its meaning or read simply to gain information without allowing it to personally impact our lives.  But the Bible is a living, breathing, life-changing book, and God desires for you to have a firsthand encounter with Him through its pages.  In Holding the Word, Bill Mowry offers good news: you don’t need a theological education to engage with Scripture. Mowry unpacks five spiritual practices—hearing, reading, studying, memorizing, and meditating—that will help you personally encounter God every time you open your Bible.  This multi-sensory, relationally rich Bible reading and discipleship tool will transform your relationship with the Author of Scripture.  Discover a whole-body experience of the Bible using your senses.  Learn from contemporary teaching and brain theory on why relational connection is vital to your walk with God.  Develop a lifestyle of integrating the Bible into every aspect of your daily life, leading to personal transformation, spiritual growth, and maturity.  Let God's Word saturate every part of your being. Immerse yourself in the timeless truths of Scripture and experience the abundant life that comes from living and loving God’s Word.
