In This Beautiful Truth, Sarah Clarkson shares her own encounters with beauty in the midst of her decade-long struggle with mental illness, depression, and doubt. In a voice both vulnerable and reflective, she paints a compelling picture of the God who reaches out to us in a real and powerful way through the "taste and see" goodness of what he has made and what he continues to create amid our darkness. "To recognize and trust God's gift in pain," she writes, "empowers us to create and love as powerful witnesses to God's healing love in a hopeless world."

In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand - making it irrelevant - and glorify it on the other - making it everything - it's hard to know what it really means to be a woman.

This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ - as a woman - looks like.

Ce roman a été écrit par Romeo Nightingale, qui a connu un succès international avec son groupe Cinema Bizarre. Certaines histoires commencent par une coïncidence, un instant fugace qui change à jamais la vie de deux personnes.

Elle, une jeune femme pleine de rêves et d'espoirs ; lui, un musicien en tournée, enivré par le monde et sa musique.

If you're tired of hearing the watered-down Christian teaching and hungry for a deeper spiritual life - one that gives real answers to your hardest questions - Stop Calling Me Beautiful teaches you how.

If you want victory over insecurity, fear, shame, and the circumstances you are facing, it's time to embrace Jesus. All of him.

In How to Be and Stay Sexy, Allana Pratt explains that it's because women attempt the impossible. They try to be who they are told to be instead of being exactly who they are.
