First Book: Babes with Beatitude
"The blessed life"...that's what the word beatitude actually means...and that's the life God created you to live. The 366 devotions (yes, there's an extra one for leap year!) you hold in your hand were written with today's busy woman in mind. Each message is short, but more than sweet, as it delivers powerful words of hope, purpose, direction, and encouragement. For every day of the year, you'll find an uplifting scripture, a straight-to-your-heart message, and a "Beatitude Check" that gets your outlook on straight for the day ahead.
Second Book: Misfortune Cookies (Until the Fat Ladies Sing Mystery Series #1)
When even the fortune cookies hint at calamity ahead, watch out!
Best friends Sue Jan and Lovita run a beauty shop/boutique in the little West Texas town of Wachita. They share a passion for food and fun. But one day, over lunch in a Chinese restaurant, Lovita opens a fortune cookie with a sinister message: “Your father was murdered. . .” a clue that leads them to God, an international spy ring, and several devastatingly handsome strangers. A most unlikely pair of detectives, these girlfriends “comb” the countryside with style, sarcasm, and lots of Szechwan. This tale is like good take-out food—definitely worth bringing home.
