eye of the god takes the fascinating history surrounding the Hope Diamond and weaves it together with a present-day plot to steal the jewel from the Smithsonian Institute.
The Jewel of His Heart by Maggie Brendan.The Jewel of His Heart is a soft romance, set in 1890’s Montana and is Book 2 in Maggie’s Heart of the West series, but introduces new characters and reads well as a stand-alone.
It is here that Juliana calls home when she meets Josh McBride, a handsome, gentle sheepherder. When he discovers a rare kind of sapphire on his property and considers striking out on his own path in the world, he is forced to decide what’s most important to him: the world’s riches or the eternal value of love in a woman whose eyes rival the rarest of gems.
Using Holy Bible: Mosaic
If you haven’t had a chance to see a print copy of Holy Bible: Mosaic yet, I’d encourage you to take a look at either this interactive online sample or this pdf sample to help give you an idea of what I’m talking about in the video above.
Many people have asked me how I think they should use the weekly meditations in Holy Bible: Mosaic. I wrote a little bit about this in the User’s Guide on pages m11-12 in the Bible, but I didn’t have enough space to give a full explanation there. Besides, I think this Bible can be used in any number of different ways and still be profitable. After all, we are a Mosaic of believers in Christ, each contributing a unique piece to the picture. So the way I talk about using Mosaic in the video is one excellent way to do it, but I know you will probably think of your own excellent ways was well.
So what are your ideas? If you already have a copy, how have you been using Mosaic? If not, take a little bit of time to look through the samples I linked to above and throw out some ideas.

My father, who is a big fan of Biblical History, Liturgy, and Bible Study looked it over and stated that he thought it would be a very interesting experience to use and a different idea for study, but that he was not sure if it was his type of study Bible, yet is curious to check it out. For myself, in the short time that I have been able to delve into the pages of this unique tool I have found it to be a different experience in study than I have ever had before and must tell you that I like it.

Hearts in the Crosshairs, by Susan Page Davis: Jillian Goff is Maine’s first female governor. She’s only been in office fifteen minutes when an attempt is made on her life. Is her stalker a political enemy, or someone from her past? The Executive Protection Unit sets out to keep Jillian safe to carry out her duties. Detective Dave Hutchins investigates, but the assassin eludes him. He and Jillian draw close as they determine to outplay the killer—but romance is forbidden between the governor and her protectors. When Dave’s boss hears a rumor, he removes Dave from the case and forbids him to see the governor. But Jillian knows she needs him. He’s called back into service when she opts for a wilderness vacation. Dave faces the hardest challenge of his life—keeping Jillian alive.
When does an affair begin? Not with the first forbidden touch…but with the first forbidden thought. Unexpectedly, you find yourself enjoying a powerful emotional bond with another man. You feel like you matter to someone again. And the door you thought was locked so firmly–the door to sexual infidelity–is suddenly ajar.
The only way women can survive the intense struggle for sexual integrity is by guarding not just your body, but your mind and heart as well. Every Woman’s Battle can help you learn to do that. Using real-life stories and examples from her own struggle, Shannon Ethridge helps women like you–whether married, engaged, or planning to marry someday.
It’s 1905 and the Chicago Cubs are banking on superstar Donald “Duke” Dennison’s golden arm to help them win the pennant. Only one thing stands between Duke and an unprecedented ten thousand dollar contract: alcohol.
That’s when sportswriter David Voyant whisks Duke to the one-horse town of Picksville, Missouri, so he can sober up in anonymity. He bides his time flirting with Ellie Jane Voyant, his unofficial chaperone, who would rather hide herself in the railway station ticket booth than face the echoes of childhood taunts.
Ned Clovis, the feed store clerk, has secretly loved Ellie Jane since childhood, but he loves baseball and the Duke almost as much–until he notices Ellie Jane may be succumbing to the star’s charm.
Then there’s Morris, a twelve-year-old Negro boy, whose only dream is to break away from Picksville. When Duke discovers his innate talent for throwing a baseball, Morris might just have found his way out.
Four individuals, each living in haunted isolation, each harboring a secret passion. Providence brings them together. Tragedy threatens to tear them apart. Will love be enough to bring them home?

People don’t set out to build their faith upon myths and spiritual urban legends. But somehow such falsehoods keep showing up in the way that many Christians think about life and God. These goofy ideas and beliefs are assumed by millions to be rock-solid truth . . . until life proves they’re not. The sad result is often a spiritual disaster–confusion, feelings of betrayal, a distrust of Scripture, loss of faith, anger toward both the church and God.
But it doesn’t have to be so. In this delightfully personal and practical book, respected Bible teacher Larry Osborne confronts ten widely held beliefs that are both dumb and dangerous. Beliefs like these:
• Faith can fix anything
• God brings good luck
• Forgiving means forgetting
• Everything happens for a reason
• A godly home guarantees good kids
…and more.
Get ready to be shocked, relieved, and inspired in the pages of Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe. Because the truth is meant to set us free . . . not hurt us.

Eleven Bridesmaid Dresses Don’t Lie
Since she was just a little girl, Jessie Stone dreamed up hundreds of marriage proposals, doodled the romantic ideas in her journal with her treasured purple pen, and fantasized about wedding dresses and falling in love. She’s been a bridesmaid nearly a dozen times, waved numerous couples off to sunny honeymoons, and shopped in more department stores for half-price fondue pots than she cares to remember.
But shopping for one key component of these countless proposals hasn't been quite as productive–a future husband. The man she thought she would marry cheated on her. The crush she has on her best friend Blake is at very best…well, crushing. And speed dating has only churned out memorable horror stories.
So when God shows up one day, in the flesh, and becomes a walking, talking part of her life, Jessie is skeptical. What will it take to convince her that the Almighty has a better plan than one she’s already cooked up in her journals? Can she turn over her pen and trust someone else to craft a love story beyond her wildest dreams?

Sweet little newborn bums will fit perfectly in this tiny diaper! If you're planning on having a baby and going with cloth from the get go, these are the perfect solution for your diapering needs. Made with the same bamboo velour as my one-size diapers, these have an inner of organic cotton sherpa so they are a little lighter weight. No snaps will touch baby's skin since they are all encased inside. They come with one lay in soaker (one layer of organic bamboo velour and one of organic cotton sherpa). My newborn diapers have two wing snaps on each side to prevent wing droop as well as a snap down rise to protect that delicate belly button while it heals.
The outer fabric on this diaper is adorable cotton interlock print. This diaper will fit from about 7-14+lbs.
These diapers are so wonderfully soft and absorbant, you will be addicted the moment you hold one in your hands.
This particular diaper has a layer of cotton interlock knit on the outside in the popular chicks motif, a layer of extra heavy organic bamboo fleece (this is not the bamboo fleece you see everywhere else!) and finally a layer of buttery soft bamboo velour on the inside, they also come with two of my organic bamboo fleece/organic bamboo velour doublers to max out the absorbancy. The wonderful part of it all, is that the 6 layers of bamboo plus the layer of bamboo interlock on the outside will match a diaper that has many more layers in absorbancy but without the bulk! The materials and design provide for lots of stretch to ensure a great fit for any size or shape.
These diapers are made with natural materials that will shrink a tiny bit the first few times you wash them, even though they have been prewashed. No worries, this just means that they are becoming more absorbant!
The bottom soaker snaps into the front when the diaper is unfolded and the second soaker lays on top. For the infant setting, I suggest folding one soaker down and omitting the second one.
These are also designed to fit babies from 12 lbs. on up through potty training. Just fold the front over and snap away. These are what I trust my 2 year old in overnight and we have even been using them as trainers by taking the soakers out and setting the snaps loosely so we can pull it on and off (he's 35+lbs.).
