We often show more grace to our competitors in sports, politics, and business than we do to our husbands or wives. Think about it . . . • What does grace have to do with marriage? Vital elements like forgiveness, security, significance, acceptance, approval, intimacy—all are words of grace for which we hunger. • What does a grace-filled marriage look like? We hear grace in our tone of voice. We see grace in expressions on our faces. We feel grace in the warmth of a touch. We taste grace in acts of simple courtesy. We smell grace in the fragrance of shared prayers and desires. Tim Kimmel is author of the best-selling Grace-Based Parenting, which won the ECPA Gold Medallion Award; as well as the 750,000-copy bestseller, Little House on the Freeway. He is president of Family Matters in Phoenix, Arizona, where he lives with his wife, Darcy, and their four children.

She grew up in a small town and had common struggles with friends, school, and boys. Her home was filled with turmoil, and, as happens far too often, she was sexually abused by a family friend. She knew heartache, but she didn’t know love. Sadly, Annie’s story is not uncommon. Young people are stumbling into the arms of the waiting world of the sex industry. Human sex trafficking and involvement in the sex industry – whether by choice, force, or coercion – is a sad world full of broken dreams. Hookers for Jesus , a non-profit ministry, was founded by Annie to address the harmful effects of prostitution and sex trafficking. Its mission is to Hook, Give Hope, Heal, and Help those who have been negatively affected by sex trafficking and the adult entertainment industry.

WORTHYPUBLISHING.COM BOOK HOOK: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all feature parallel accounts of the “end times,” and all three accounts feature a messianic Savior, an apocalyptic final war between good and evil, and a central role for the city of Jerusalem.
