| More: The One Year Mini for Busy Women |
| You’re a busy woman on the go. From the competing demands of work to the whining voices of kids in the back seat, your days are crammed full of stuff to do. It’s in the in- between times (waiting for the kids at a soccer match, on the commute home, during a lunch break at work) that you have time to center your thoughts back on the simple joys in life--the beauty of flowers in bloom, the exuberance of young toddlers at play, the excitement of kids coming home from school. The One Year Mini for Busy Women is there for you when you need it. |
| Sample from The One Year Mini for Busy Women Reprinted with permission from Tyndale House Discovering Beauty The perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance. Psalm 50:2 Dew drops along the delicate edge of a flower, the graceful curve of an unfolding rose, the subtle flutter of marvelously painted butterfly wings-- there are many summer beauties. The sun dries the dew drops and beetles ravage the rose petals, but there is much to be thankful for in each part of life. To be able to see beauty is a gift from God. There is much in the world that is less than beautiful, but usually, mixed in with despair and the less-than-ideal, there is a breathtaking glimmer of hope. Finding beauty is only possible when it is first present within. Recognizing beauty despite imperfections requires a hopeful heart and a watchful eye. To cultivate beauty in your life and hope in your heart, begin each day with a prayer for those qualities. Look for goodness in spite of the bad things that happen. Watch for opportunities to encourage, smile, offer hope, and live in joy. Plant a flower, send a card, make an encouraging phone call, and find a reason to say thank you. Discover the blessing of beauty and pass it along. Beauty brings hope. |

| Praise Amazon review, 5-star Fantastic find for an inspiring daily devotional, March 6, 2008 By Katie Funk "Gwenelle" (Portland, OR) - I picked this book up on a whim, looking for some type of daily devotional. I wanted something short and to the point, with scripture references, related modern explanations or examples, and questions or statements to guide thinking and self-reflection. But I don't have time for anything too intense on a daily basis. The title seemed fitting, so I flipped to that particular day and it was actually quite perfect. I bought it on the spot. Since then, I have read each day's page consistently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Each page provides a verse, expounds upon it in a way that modern, busy women can readily relate to, and concludes with a suggestion or thought for the day. There's even a built-in ribbon bookmark so you can quickly flip to today's date. I actually read each day twice, morning and night, because it's that encouraging and only takes a few minutes. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a more regular routine in their devotional life but finds it hard to know what to study and to find the time. |
| Gloss a novel by Jennifer King Libby Cannon, a world-famous model living in New York City, has it all: a lucrative fashion modeling career, a spacious flat in a prestigious neighborhood, a string of high-profile boyfriends, an engaging nightlife, and the top ranking in the GQ annual list of desirable women.

In a defining day, Libby's catastrophic losses force personal reevaluation, which leads her back to the people who once knew her best and still love her most. Her circumstances shatter the façade behind which she had learned to hide, leaving her digging for the truth which she yearns to possess and searching for the raw beauty which lies beneath the gloss. |

Silver Stilettos
a novel by Jennifer King
When a talent scout discovers her in a concert crowd, Audrey Turner’s life makes a sudden turnaround.
Having lived her entire twenty years with Nan, her impoverished and harsh grandmother, Audrey has
hardly begun to dream a life outside of her trapped existence, balancing night-school community
college and a minimum-wage housecleaning job in rural Arkansas. But when she receives a letter
announcing her selection for a top modeling agency’s annual international competition in Paris, France,
Audrey’s sheltered and simple life is thrust into a foreign world of complex glamour. Despite falling from
the runway in rehearsal, Audrey wins a contract, and also wins the interest of Foster, a sophisticated
male model.
Moving to New York City, Audrey quickly finds the farther she treads into the modeling life, the more
surprises she uncovers, which constantly stirs her greatest fear—returning to Arkansas, unsuccessful.
Surviving the first week in New York presents Audrey with a string of challenges; a compromising
situation with a male model, a late-night subway assault, the endless modeling rejection, an indecent
first photo shoot, a sleazy club event, Nan’s continuing poison words, and her roommate’s hard-hitting
betrayal keep her continuously stretched by her new cosmopolitan surroundings. Just as things begin to
improve, Audrey’s path crosses with Foster’s past, causing an unforeseeable rift in their relationship.
Though she enjoys the money, stilettos, and prestige carried so prominently in the modeling world, her
own growing yearnings seem ever beyond her grasp, leaving Audrey to decide how far she should go to
find the life for which she has always longed. Finally demonstrating her growing poise after faltering
over poor choices, Audrey makes a new habit of standing up for herself. And as the pieces of life once
crumbling begin to fall into place, Audrey muses she’s found what she never thought possible—life, full
and rich. She knows where she’s going, knows who she is, and is having the time of her life.
