Five months later, Hadiyyah is kidnapped from an open air market in Lucca, Italy, and this triggers an investigation in the full glare of the media spotlight.

And as they navigate their way around a dark labyrinth of secret scandals and appalling crimes, they uncover a series of shocking revelations that shatter the fa ade of the peaceful Yorkshire village.

It is barely three months since the murder of his wife and Thomas Lynley takes to the South-West Coast Path in Cornwall, determined to walk its length in an attempt to distract himself from his loss.

Have you noticed that a large portion of the prayer requests at Bible studies relate to a need for healing, either for ourselves or our loved-ones? But in spite of that important, on-going need, very little is taught on healing from most pulpits and in most Bible study groups! What does the Bible tell us about healing? Can we know God's will regarding healing? How did Jesus pray for healing? What did He instruct His followers concerning healing? What about my own physical needs... how should I pray in regard to my own need for healing? The Bible has a lot to say about health and healing and we're going to dig it out, sift through it, and open our hearts to the Holy Spirit's illumination so we can KNOW what God has said in His Word and AGREE WITH HIM as we pray. This Bible study is a bit longer than some, but please don't let that keep you from choosing this study.... The topic of healing is too important NOT to explore thoroughly! Your health and the health of your loved ones may significantly benefit from your time here in the weeks ahead. If you must miss a lesson, please go back and complete it since each chapter topic is crucial to having a more complete understanding of Biblical healing. May the Lord Jesus Christ receive much glory as He is recognized as being the Purchaser of our healing and "The LORD, who heals us!"

Seeing . . . to perceive with the eyes and understand with the heart. What do you see? There are not very many influences in life that impact us more than our sight, but God has declared that if our faith rests upon the visual, it isn't faith at all.

In this Bible study on seeing, you'll explore sight from a variety of vantage points, both physical and spiritual. You will gain illumination regarding God's view of sight so that by His grace you can follow His invitation: "Don't be unseeing, but be seeing... receive your sight!," having eyes to see.

This Bible study workbook is about God's Glory.... Our joy and fulfillment is found in the revelation that we exist for His glory. It is our purpose statement, the source of our self-worth and self-actualization and at the core of our identity. When we live for His glory, no act is too menial, no sacrifice too great, no loss pointless, no pain without the potential for purpose. Whatever we experience can have meaning if our goal is to bring Him glory. It's a 24 hour a day opportunity, no matter where we are or what we're doing.Please take a look at Elizabeth's other topical Bible studies: "Christ as Life," "Eyes to See," "Words," and "The Seed," also available on Amazon.
