Every part of her life that most women feel vulnerable about is catered to, without exception. The wish fulfillment is so over the top, it’s annoying. * she looks 40, but has the metabolism and health of a 20 year old in her prime. * the second most powerful mage “in the world” wants to be her mentor and help her because she’s “sensational, amazing, etc.” He literally doesn’t stop gushing about how awesome she is from the time he’s introduced in book 4 * the only female gargoyle “in the world” * mated to the most powerful shifter “in the world” * the richest woman “in the world” (160 billion dollars from who knows where) Now, because she moved into ivy house, she’s: Jessie was just a normal divorced 40 year old woman starting over without direction for her life a year ago. I usually love Breene’s series, but this one has been going too far off the rails for me to find enjoyment. So over the top, I can’t help rolling my eyes Edge, the magazine I have written for and loved since I graduated from college, is hanging by a thread. It isn’t really my boss’s job to fire me. I walked into Helen’s office this morning certain she was going to fire me. What happens when the man they call Saint, makes you want to sin? Excerpt Bit by bit, I start to wonder if I’m the one discovering him.or if he’s uncovering me. And that’s where I come in.Īssigned to investigate Saint and reveal his elusive personality, I’m determined to make him the story that will change my career.īut I never imagined he would change my life.

Book 1 in the sexy Manwhore series from the New York Times bestselling author of REAL. Only in isolated cases does Jesus ask someone to give away everything. Scripture clearly calls us to give generously (see 1 Timothy 6:18-21), a call that few Christians seem to take to heart. Indeed, in order for the rich man to own and tend a farm and herds, and have a roof over his head, or, in the case of Joseph and Jesus, to have wood and tools with which to do carpentry, keeping SOME treasures on Earth is necessary! Jesus says, “so is the one who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” Clearly this parable calls for the followers of Jesus to obey Him by storing up treasures in Heaven, not on Earth.īut that doesn’t mean God forbids us to have anything of value on Earth. He’s guilty of presumption, and of not recognizing God’s complete power over his life, or his own powerlessness to preserve or extend his life. He didn’t understand that his earthly treasures would either be taken from him, or he would be taken from them. In the parable in Luke 12, the rich man foolishly failed to consider his mortality (God calls him not “you evil man,” but “you fool”). He also warns against loving money and placing our faith in money, and the presumption that our self-care and self-provision is worthy of our trust. In His parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16), Jesus warns against excessive savings, not against all savings. Here are the thoughts I shared in response: Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down is an informal explanation of the basic forces that hold together the ordinary and essential things of this world-from buildings and bodies to flying aircraft and eggshells. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose.įor anyone who has ever wondered why suspension bridges don't collapse under eight lanes of traffic, how dams hold back-or give way under-thousands of gallons of water, or what principles guide the design of a skyscraper, a bias-cut dress, or a kangaroo, this book will ease your anxiety and answer your questions.
