The Queen's Cook (Queen Esther's Court)

Tessa Afshar

Sinopsis

"A tender and touching tale. Tessa Afshar has given us two wonderfully charming heroines."--ANGELA HUNT, New York Times bestselling author of The Emissaries series 
 
In the heart of ancient Persia, the empire's Jewish citizens face an ominous edict that threatens their very existence. Roxannah, the daughter of an impoverished Persian lord, is devastated by the news but feels helpless to come to the aid of her Jewish friends. Desperate to support her family, Roxannah approaches the royal physician, Adin--the man whose kind eyes haunt her--and seeks his help to find employment in Queen Esther's kitchens. 
  
In the opulent palace of Susa, Roxannah tries to survive the spiteful ploys of the other cooks as she ascends through the ranks. Her loyalty earns her the trust and friendship of Queen Esther, who is navigating dangerous politics with wisdom and grace. When Roxannah and Adin uncover a sinister plot against Amestris, the king's most powerful wife and Esther's archenemy, they find themselves tasked with the impossible job of discovering the culprit. As secrets unravel and alliances are tested, the fate of Esther's reign hangs in the balance.

Psalms - Through my eyes

Tentmaker Ministries

I want to start by saying that this book is not a reading of Psalms. Instead, it is Psalms, through my eyes. What this means, is that these were the words that came to me as I was reading these specific Psalms. My hope is that this book helps you grow, and let you know that no matter what season of life you are in, Christ can always be found. I hope that this book helps you see how good God is, that He loves you, and that He is with you through your pain and suffering. God shelters you, protects you, and He loves you, with a perfect love. This book is a book of Psalms Through my eyes. 
  
This book was based off of Psalms 23, 37, 40, 42, 46, 56, 61, & 91

The Mission of God and the...

Justin Schell, Dane C. Ortlund

A Canonical Journey to Explore the Mission of the Eternal God  “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). This declarative phrase introduces fundamental questions circling the minds of skeptics and believers of Christianity alike. What was God’s mission when he chose to create? And why, through the Savior’s death on the cross and the witness of his church, does he continue to redeem the very creation that rebels against him?  To answer these imperative questions, author Justin Schell takes readers on a canonical journey exploring the mission of the eternal God―Father, Son, and Spirit. Drawing insights from creation, the exodus of God’s people, the suffering servant, the Great Commission, and consummation, this book examines the purpose and beauty of God’s great story. It is out of an abundance of love that God brings us into union with him, calling his church to bear witness to all that has been done in Christ, until the day that he returns.
