Tired of inauthentic prattle, CEO and president of Concerned Women for America Penny Young Nance is ready to change the way women today engage the culture. In her debut title, Feisty & Feminine, she takes an honest and transparent look at what it means to be a conservative Christian woman with thoughtful commentary on the real issues confronting American women.';Conservative women have never fit neatly into stereotypes, especially conservative Christian women,' says Penny Young Nance. ';We're not the humorless, dim-witted ';church ladies' Saturday Night Live has made us out to be. Today's conservative women are intelligent, well-educated, compassionate, accomplished, funny, and fearlessand it's time for us to stand up and be heard. In fact, we have an opportunity like never before to offer words of redemption to a world gone mad.'From Miley Cyrus to campus feminists, it's clear that women are still searching for their voice in culture today. With Hillary Clinton running for president in 2016, there is even more of a need for a compelling, conservative, and credible female influence in the mix. Penny Nance is that woman. She is direct without being disrespectful, winsome but not shallow, and relevant while still holding to faith and conservative values.Accepting the baton of leadership from their foremothers, today's conservatives have emerged as intelligent, hard-working women of faith who not only deal with issues like life and marriage, but are also advocates for the free market, for rights of conscience, and for female victims of radical Islam. Passionate about their role in society, they refuse to turn a blind eye to the sexual exploitation of women or the hypocrisy surrounding women's issues. The time is right for this bookand for conservative women everywhere to be part of the conversation.

You don't have to keep striving for freedom; live in the freedom you already have in Christ. In these pages, Rebekah Lyons walks you through her journey of releasing stress, anxiety, and worry to uncover the peace that is offered to us through Jesus Christ. Have you bought the lie? Many of us do. We measure our worth by what others think of us. We compare and strive, existing mostly for the approval of others. Pressure rises, fear and anxiety creep in, and we hustle to keep up. But Jesus whispers, I gave my life to set you free. I gave you purpose. I called you to live in freedom in that purpose. Yet we still hobble through life, afraid to confess all the ways we push against this truth, because we can't even believe it. Christ doesn't say you can be or may be or will be free. He says you are free. Dare you believe it? In You Are Free, Rebekah invites you to:Overcome the exhaustion of trying to meet the expectations of others and rest in the joy God's freedom brings.Find permission to grieve past experiences, confess areas of brokenness, and receive strength in your journey toward healing.Throw off self-condemnation, burn superficial masks, and step boldly into what our good God has for you.Discover the courage to begin again and use your newfound freedom to set others free. Freedom is for everyone who wants it--the lost, the wounded, and those weary from all of the striving. It's for those who gave up trying years ago. It's for those angry and hurt, brilliant and burnt by the Christian song and dance. You are the church, the people of God. You were meant to be free.

Joseph P. Free's Archaeology and Bible History, first published in 1950, served well an entire generation of pastors, Sunday school teachers, laypersons, and college students by summarizing the history of the Bible and shedding light on biblical events through archaeological discoveries. The author demonstrated how such data helps us understand the Bible and confirm its historical accuracy. At times he also dealt with issues of biblical interpretation and criticism, always from a historically orthodox position. When the book was withdrawn from circulation in 1976 after the fourteenth printing, many hoped for the day when it would be revised and updated. That task has now been undertaken by one of Dr. Free's former students and a biblical archaeologist in his own right, Dr. Howard Vos. He has brought the archaeological and historical material up to date and has modified earlier archaeological interpretations where necessary. The bibliography has been almost totally replaced.
