An Instant New York Times BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerBestselling author John Bevere challenges Christians to take a fresh and honest look at one of the most often misunderstood and avoided truths of the Christian faith—the second coming of Jesus. Through personal testimony, biblical accuracy, and practical guidance, readers will be inspired to live a life of spiritual vigilance as they prepare for the glorious return of our King. If Jesus were to return tomorrow, would you be read? n The King Is Coming, John Bevere discusses why the Second Coming is both relevant and critical for the Christian faith. Other than salvation, it's the second most discussed topic both in the New Testament and by early church fathers in the first three centuries. More than a book about prophecy, this life-changing guide will help believers live fully prepared for Christ's return while transforming the way we love, serve, and glorify God. Bevere recounts his personal shift from avoiding eschatology to fully recognizing its significance. Witnessing the misuse and division caused by End Time teachings initially led him away from the topic, but through the Holy Spirit's guidance and a deeper study of Scripture, Bevere's heart and life were transformed. Through extensive references to prophetic Scriptures, the book explores many of the over three-hundred New Testament mentions of Jesus’ return, providing a foundation that will help readers:Live in awe of the Creator of the universe who holds time in His hands. Grow in holiness, compassion, purpose, and gain a closer relationship with God. Live with an eternal outlook, inspiring a sense of hope, urgency, and mission. Avoid division by focusing on the transformative power of our reigning King. Discover an eschatology that replaces fear and alarmism with true hope.  Through personal testimonies and a close examination of Scripture, John offers readers spiritual truths, insight, encouragement, and practical steps to develop a readiness shaped by faith and obedience. And as with The Awe of God, each chapter will close with his 5 P's: Passage, Point, Ponder, Prayer, and Profession. The King Is Coming is both a wake-up call, faith builder, and a source of hope for Christian men and women seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare for His glorious return.

Singleness can feel like...waiting. Like you're just hoping the right guy stumbles along while you stand by. But what if there was a resource that showed how you can move from passively waiting to actively praying for your future husband? Christian Bevere shares how single women can lace their desire for marriage with prayer—moving from a place of uncertainty to expectation. Women often want to believe for their future spouse, but in doing so, struggle with feeling vain, timid, or lost. In Future Husband, Present Prayers, Christian Bevere shares how praying for her future husband transformed her singleness into a time of preparation and significance. With a voice of seasoned wisdom, Christian invites you into a faith-led journey, showing how praying for your future spouse isn't a maneuver to hurry the process, rather, it's a way to cover your partner and heighten your vision for what you're believing for. While addressing questions like "How do I know if he's the one?" and "How do I trust God's plan when all my friends are getting married and I'm not?", Christian encourages readers to consider contending for their husbands through prayer as a form of active waiting. Christian shows readers why, how, and what to pray for their future husbands, including sample prayers to begin the practice. In this book, readers will:Learn new ways to flourish as a single woman while interceding for their future marriageGrow closer to God as they navigate an unmet longingExplore the necessity of prayer for any season of anticipationFind practical and powerful prompts for praying over their future spouseDistinguish what areas are most important to pray intoFeel equipped to shape their dating lives with Scripture as they searchAvoid settling in relationships by prayerfully cultivating a vision for their future, kingdom-building relationship If you embrace this season and allow God to speak to you through it, He can do exceedingly more in you and ahead of you than you can yet imagine.

One woman works to expose a scientific fraud while also finding love in the latest sweet Regency romance by Sarah Ladd. Perfect for fans of Julie Klassen, An Unconventional Lady delivers what Publishers Weekly calls Ladd's "pitch-perfect blend of suspense and sweetness" (The Cloverton Charade). She faces the worst ultimatum possible for a woman--marry a man she detests or lose the future she's always imagined. Charming and headstrong, Ella Wilde always knew she was different than other women. Thanks to her unorthodox upbringing as the daughter of Keatley Hall School for Young Men's headmaster, Ella has long dreamed of opening a school for girls that would meet the needs of inquisitive, brilliant, unconventional young women just like her--girls who longed for the education exclusively reserved for boys. But there's just one catch: Unless she marries before her father dies, Keatley Hall will pass into the hands of a distant cousin. In that case, Ella will be left destitute, and at this point her only option appears to be an undesirable marriage. Ella's family had long been proponents of phrenology, the belief that an individual's personality and dispositions were predetermined by the shape of their head. Shortly before her death, however, Ella's mother's views on phrenology changed, and she endeavored to expose phrenology as nothing more than a fraudulent parlor trick. Consequently, she earned the wrath of phrenologist community, who called her "unstable," "bizarre," even "dangerous"--and branded her daughter the same. Now, renowned phrenologist Thomas Bauer is about to arrive at Keatley Hall to speak at the Natural Philosophers' Society gathering, and Ella embraces the opportunity to clear her mother's name--and her own--once and for all. And her partner in crime? None other than her childhood friend Gabriel Rowe, who's grown into an ambitious, handsome London solicitor. Gabriel has his own scores to settle, and when he learns that Thomas Bauer is visiting Keatley Hall, he jumps at the chance to prove himself and right past wrongs. As he is drawn deeper into the unusual happenings, it's clear that he and Ella must work together if they want to unmask the truth. Over time, Gabriel's attraction to Ella's beauty and wit becomes impossible to ignore, and as the lines between professionalism and passion blur, they both must decide what they're willing to risk for happiness.

"[This] fun romance has something for everyone: a large and vibrant cast of characters, a bookish storyline, a cozy locked-boat mystery, a slow-burn love story, comedic hijinks, and a dash of thrills." --Library Journal STARRED reviewA laugh-out-loud rom-com wrapped in a whodunit, this high-seas adventure proves that sometimes the best love stories start with a little murder. Penelope Mae Dupont has one superpower: keeping her cool. Which is essential when you're the personal assistant to renowned mystery author Hugh Griffin. But when Pip organizes a luxury book cruise featuring The Fabulous Seven--a glittering cast of seven bestselling authors known for both their brilliance and their drama--her trademark composure starts slipping. One boat. Seven egos. Hundreds of fans. What could possibly go wron? ell . . . murder, for starters. On day two, Hugh is found dead--and the cruise security team proves to be utterly incompetent. Stranded in the middle of the Atlantic with no help in sight, Pip realizes if anyone's going to solve the case, it'll have to be her. And so, with her friend and ally Nash, the dreamy Western author who's just as rugged as the cowboys he writes about, she puts her amateur sleuthing skills to the test. As Pip and Nash navigate an ocean of secrets, shocking twists, and one too many red herrings, she'll have to decide whether she's meant to stay behind the scenes--or finally step into the spotlight . . . and maybe, just maybe, find love along the way. In the world of mystery and love, sometimes you have to risk going overboard to find the truth.
