Take a totally new look at the armor of God. Power Suit redefines the masculine image of the armor for today’s woman who understands more about corporate executives and financial reports than about corporals and foxholes.

Through this detailed study of Ephesians 6:10–20 you will discover the importance of the armor of God, recognize how righteous living protects your heart, learn to detect Satan’s tactics aimed at weakening your faith, realize the true meaning and power of grace, and learn to use the Word of God effectively.

Living a Milk-and-Honey Life: Letting Go of What’s Holding You Back

The Israelites didn’t enjoy being slaves in Egypt. They never stopped praying for deliverance or hoping their situation would change, but although they hated their condition they eventually became used to it. Over the years they adapted to the culture, learned to speak the language, and even developed a fondness for Egyptian food. But instead of simply adapting to their new situation, they adopted it–so much so that when God did deliver them it wasn’t long before they were crying to go back to Egypt–back to the things that had brought them comfort.Most of us can relate to the Israelites. At some point we have experienced ’Egyptian’ periods where we became slaves to stressful relationships, problems with children, financial struggles, or sin. And although we despised our bondage, we ended up retaining a fondness and craving for the very things that enslaved us–cravings that are opposite to the delights God has prepared for us. Like the Israelites, we crave leeks and onions even though we now live in a ’milk-and-honey’ land. No matter how hard we try, we’ll never be able to make leeks and onions blend with milk and honey.In Living a Milk-and-Honey Life, author Sharon Norris Elliott challenges us to come to grips with the leeks-and-onions issues in our lives. She helps us identify exactly where we are so that we can better understand how to get to the place God would have us go. Living a Milk-and-Honey Life will help you make the journey from bondage to deliverance and teach you to embrace God’s cravings so you can fully enjoy the goodness & sweetness of a milk-and-honey life. Living a Milk-and-Honey Life includes:Personal reflection questions. Inventory questions to help you determine where you are in life. Practical ideas & exercises for understanding and moving past the things that hold you back. Scriptural references & insightful anecdotes to illustrate concepts and more.

Practical wisdom about facing temptation, exploring leadership, choosing friends, dealing with women, and handling money also yields spiritual insight for raising a young boy into a Christlike man.

What? Teenagers in the Bible?

Even though your teen years may be full of craziness and confusion, there’s one thing you can count on – God is not surprised by any of it. These years are not an accident, they’re an opportunity. You’re extraordinary in God’s eyes just as you are, and to prove that, He even included teens like you in His Book, the Bible. “What? Teenagers in the Bible?” recounts the stories of 14 kids who had some pretty crazy and confusing things happen in their lives too. Let these teens tell you about how they made it, kept their sanity in tact, and came out better and even closer to God. But watch out! Their stories will challenge you to look within yourself. You’ll identify with some stuff, but you may see some things you won’t like. Get ready to face the issues they faced. You’ll find out just how much you are like (or unlike) the Bible’s teens, and you’ll discover that God is interested in you – even while you are a teenager.
