Wie weit würdest du für deinen Job gehen?Nach ihrem Umzug von Chicago in die entzückende Kleinstadt St. Collin lernt Joanna durch einen Zufall den Außenseiter Sam kennen. Er wohnt in einer alten Gärtnerei und wird von der ganzen Stadt gemieden. Vor Jahren soll er in ein Verbrechen verwickelt gewesen sein. Doch so richtig weiß niemand, was damals genau passiert ist und obwohl er launisch und unfreundlich ist, ist Joanna schnell von seiner Unschuld überzeugt. Im Gegenteil sogar: Je öfter sie sich begegnen, desto größer wird auch die Anziehungskraft zwischen ihnen. Doch als Joannas Vorgesetzte in der Tageszeitung verlangt, dass sie einen Artikel über Sams Geheimnis schreiben soll, weiß Joanna nicht mehr, was richtig und was falsch ist. Sie muss eine Entscheidung treffen: Karriere oder Liebe?

In schwarzer Nacht ist sie gegangen, hat sich heimlich davongeschlichen, in eine andere Zeit. In unendlicher Trauer und zehrendem Schmerz. Ihr Herz war so schwer und brannte dennoch in heißer Glut um ihre unglückliche Liebe, die zu erlöschen drohte. Würde sie ihn wiederfinden, in einer anderen Zeit?

Warum Frauen ab Mitte Dreißig lustige Hühner sind, oder Männer-Sammlerinnen und Philosophinnen, weshalb sie so vertraut mit Sex-Spielzeug sind, oder warum sie erotische Erziehungsmaßnahmen bevorzugt bei einem Schäferstündchen während der Siesta abhalten, erzählt die Autorin ganz direkt, doch niemals schlüpfrig. Für sie ist klar: Männer sind Schlümpfe, Jäger und Rammler und außerdem noch Superstars¿ Eine humorvoll-deftige Sammlung von Kolumnen über Erotik und Beziehung. Katharina Springer hat wahre, frei erfundenen und gut nacherzählte Geschichten so aufgeschrieben, dass sie sich dort und da wiederfinden, sich manchmal wundern, aber sicher köstlich amüsieren. Casting ist: Unverschnörkelt. Unkeusch. Und unglaublich lustig. Es darf gelacht werden.

Entry Level Mom is a book I wrote specifically about my transformation into motherhood. It is a motherhood memoir of sorts. The goal is to uplift, encourage and connect with mothers through honesty, positivity, and vulnerability. ¿¿Becoming a mother was an acutely confronting transition and transformation for me. I emerged as a mother slowly and cautiously; I was so disoriented that I found myself earnestly writing out my experiences to orient myself. I would reread my words and use them as a guide, and in doing so, I felt less lost, more found. As time went on, I devoted myself to chronicling my experience, and I wrote this. This book is my own personal, heartfelt take on the experience of becoming a mother.In this book, I share my genuine and vulnerable tales with the promise of honesty, vulnerability, and positivity. I've often heard the advice that you should write the book you need to read; that's exactly why I took seven whole years to write this book. I wrote down lessons, hilarious moments, triumphs, and failures. I wrote down what I thought I had figured out, only to edit and or delete a month later. Then, I sorted the stories by color, flavor and topic, and stitched them together like a patchwork quilt. Becoming a mother is a monumental shift in every woman's life, yet the resources I could find on how to navigate this transformation are frankly scarce. As I journeyed into motherhood, I found an abundance of material on pregnancy and raising strong kids, but I found little to no dialogue on the enormous shift a woman goes through herself. I know (and honor) that everyone's journey is unique, beautiful, and challenging in its own way. But how can we support each other if we're not willing to share our honest truths? That's why I'm sharing my own truth in this book. I'll be sharing my experiences, my feelings, my lessons, my perspective, that all led to growth. My hope is that my words will resonate and uplift.

Recovering the truth in a culture of liesThe very idea of womanhood is under assault. Women are being sexualized by culture, repressed and silenced by much of the church, and minimized and redefined by language. Make no mistake about it: We are at war--for ourselves, our families, and the very lives of our sons and daughters. The question is, why? And with whom are we fighting?While it's tempting to label people as our enemy, our true adversary is far more sinister, working in the shadows to undermine the very essence of womanhood, and with it, the divine image of male and female. Revelation 12 speaks of a dragon who is enraged with the woman and makes war on her children. This is a battle of cosmic proportions requiring heavenly solutions and insight. To win, we must first understand how he works and what he's after. In The Fight for Female, Lisa Bevere pulls back the curtain on what's really going on in this cultural moment, and more importantly, what we can do about it, offering a way forward that transcends familiar talking points and drives us to find God-inspired answers. This is not the time to cower or to compromise. Our marriages, children, churches, communities, and futures depend on us to be up to the task. This is your clarion call. Female is worth fighting for.

Queen Esther was one such daughter, and through her life, we can find keys and strategies for the vile evils we are facing in this hour.Driven to see a generation of Esthers mantled for such a time as this, prophetic intercessor and advocate Christy Johnston empowers you to identify and embrace your pivotal role in this urgent moment in history, arising with supernatural boldness, power, and truth that prevails over the demonic destruction of our day.With passion, prophetic insight, and Spirit-filled wisdom, Christy reveals how to:Recognize your Kingdom position and influence.Reject the demonic narrative redefining sin, morality, and family.Raise a standard of bold truth in love for the generations to come.Disarm and dismantle the enemy's tactics to deceive and disciple this generation.Walk in the mantle of Esther to transform and raise this generation for His glory.Shift the culture of our day by releasing the solutions of God through Esther's example.The King's scepter has been extended toward you, daughter. Now is the time to approach the throne of the King with confidence and boldness, for you have been anointed for this very moment to see Haman fall over this generation-for such a time as this.
