Pastor and speaker Ed Young with his wife Lisa, expounds on the nature and necessity of intimacy, and encourages married couples to experience the benefits that result from a healthy sex life.

The predominant message in our culture is that it's okay to have sex whenever, wherever, and however we want. Sex has become just sex. But while society has taken sex too far, the church hasn't taken it far enough.God wants couples to make love in marriage-with passion, with purpose, and with pleasure. Marriages aren't experiencing all the benefits that come from a healthy sex life. Couples are facing a barrage of influences that keep them from connecting with each other regularly-the kids, the career, the house, the errands, etc.SEXPERIMENT shows people that sex in marriage is more than just sex, and it's more than a chore. The Young's believes it's time to get back to understanding the context of sex in marriage and that it's time for couples to bust through the barriers that are in the way of a healthy sexual relationship. Couples ought to experience the benefits of having sex regularly, intentionally, and creatively. SEXPERIMENT will allow couples to discover that the intersection of God and sex can lead to a life punctuated by exclamation marks!

Seduction of a Highland Warrior

Sue Ellen Welfonder

Lady Marjory Mackintosh has no intention of marrying any of the suitors her brother has chosen for her. And she's employed every weapon in her arsenal to sabatoge them, from persuasion to flattery to coin whenever everything else fails. She isn't proud of herself, but she simply cannot be wed against her will. She has plans of her own: braw Alasdair MacDonald. For she and two other women made a secret pact to unite the warring clans through marital bliss and Marjory is the only lass who hasn't yet kept her vow. So now it's time to employ the last weapon in her feminine arsenal to accomplish her goal--seduction...To Alasdair MacDonald, chieftan of the Clan Donald, honor and loyalty are everything. Though he has achieved peace with one of the two neighboring warring clans through his sister's marriage, relations with the Clan Mackintosh remain hostile and his sword is at the ready for disaster to strike. And it is inevitable for he cannot rid his mind of the sensual--and forbidden--lass who haunts his dreams: the beguiling Marjory. Soon this fearless, hot-blooded warrior must possess her, body and soul, the consequences be damned. But as the war between the clans rages on, a new enemy enters the glen, and he will stop at nothing to strip Alasdair of his honor and the one lass who has ever held his heart.

Leading and Loving It

Lori Wilhite, Brandi Wilson

Being a woman in ministry, whether you are partnering with your husband in his calling or serving in your own leadership role, is challenging. While serving as mentors, counselors, advisors, and even cheerleaders, women carry numerous responsibilities. Lori Wilhite and Brandi Wilson know about this first-hand as the wives of two well-known pastors in America. Everyone has an image in their mind of what they think a pastor's wife should be. The trouble with this picture is that it has never been and never will be accurate. Ministry wives and female ministry leaders face the same real-life struggles as their church members, but have the added stress of sharing in everyone's burdens as well. They are held to impossible standards by those they serve, and the more this ideal of women in leadership is expected, the more we turn up the intensity in the pressure cooker that is life in ministry. In LEADING AND LOVING IT, Lori Wilhite and Brandi Wilson offer a support system to help women make connections to get the encouragement that sustains them and become equipped for the ministry God has called them to pursue. They give readers tools for understanding that external pressures and expectations are only important if they fall in line with what God intends for your life and ministry and they give answers for how to deal with criticism, isolation, finding your personal calling, and what happens when you reach a place of burn-out, and more.

Dime Store Magic

Kelley Armstrong

Paige Winterbourne is a witch. Not that you'd notice - no warts, no green skin, no cute little wiggle of the nose whenever she casts a spell. No, most of the time she's just a normal 23-year-old girl; works too hard, worries about her weight, wonders if she'll ever find a boyfriend. Okay, so she does have an adopted teenage daughter, Savannah, who wants to raise her black witch of a mother from the dead. And who is being stalked by a telekinetic half-demon and an all-powerful cabal of sorcerers. But other than that, Paige has a really ordinary life. That is, until the neighbours find out who she is, and all hell breaks loose. Literally...
