But the lie cannot hold forever, and someone has hired Benjamin Webster, an investigator at a London corporate intelligence firm, to ruin Malin.

Extraordinary ministry in ordinary time: An Invitation to Renewal for Pastors / by Harnish, James A.,author.(CARDINAL)756102;
What energizes someone in pastoral ministry for the long haul? Holy days like Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost are the exception. Ordinary Time, the longest season of the Christian year, is where pastors spend most of their ministry. James Harnish invites pastors and other ministers to see Ordinary Time as a metaphor for the ordinary days of ministry. “Whether we thrive or merely survive depends on what we do with the ordinary days,” he writes. Harnish encourages ministers to develop spiritual disciplines and personal relationships to nourish their souls for long-term ministry. He highlights the importance of reflection on scripture, spiritual reading, journaling, prayer, and spiritual conversation with trusted friends. This 6-week study focuses on themes Harnish found crucial in over four decades of ministry: power, people, places, proclamation, perseverance, and promise. Daily readings help readers develop their own customized practices of spiritual formation to sustain and strengthen their life and ministry.

The Happy Wife. by Poppy-Munson, Kathryn Dian'nna.;
The Happy Wife is not a person; it is a class – the God Class. As the God Class of Being, this woman embodies the virtue and attributes of life and godliness. She is first to serve, love, forgive, restore, extend tender mercies and grace. Her beauty is above rubies and high above the earth. The happy condition in which she lives is not based on her circumstance or the people in her life. Instead, she believes that what is happening in the heavens is happening in her life. Therefore, she is not limited by the love of her husband or the natural resources of this world but she is transformed by the renewing of her mind – one body, one faith, one baptism with her Lord, Jesus Christ. Poppy pens The Happy Wife as a ministry resource tool for godly wives. In a time when the family structure is broken and the enemy seeks to counterfeit the marriage covenant, The Happy Wife restores the faith in God’s original plan for the family. With each page, wives will be empowered, edified, and encouraged to live beyond the limits of this world and be supernaturally translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son, the Christ.

A trusted and comprehensive resource for women in ministry, equipping them to thrive in their places of call, and for the men who serve alongside them.
