Many people desire to live godly lives but feel trapped in habitual sins. They trip over the same bad habit, embarrassing weakness, or sinful slavery they wanted to be free of years ago. Idols of the Heart reveals that idolatry lies at the heart of every besetting sin. If you think of idols as stone statues in far-off lands, think again. Idols are the desires, longings, and expectations we worship instead of the true God. Fitzpatrick helps uncover hidden idols by moving us to ask:

• What do I long for so much that my heart demands, “Give me this, or else I’ll die?”
• What must I have for my life to be meaningful and happy?
• Do I love God whole-heartedly or are there other loves in my heart that clamor for my attention?

Fitzpatrick shares the hope found in God’s desire to have his children live free of idols, and his commitment to free them by his sanctifying power.

We are like Eve. We have all experienced defeats and failures, trouble and turmoil. We have all experienced a selfish heart, a shrewish spirit, anger, envy and bitterness. And we ache to do things over, to have lives of harmony and peace. In Lies Women Believe, Nancy Leigh DeMoss exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women:

• Lies about themselves: I should not have to live with unfulfilled longings.
• Lies about sin: I cannot walk in consistent victory over sin.
• Lies about their marriage: If I submit to my husband, I will be miserable.
• Lies about their emotions: I can’t control my emotions.
• Lies about their circumstances: I just can’t take any more.

She sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God’s grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Lies Women Believe offers the most effective weapon to counter and overcome Satan’s deceptions—God’s truth.

Ladies, are you confused about your role in marriage? Do you question if you should be “equals” or “partners”? What is true femininity? Fitzpatrick explores key passages of Scripture that reveal your calling as a woman and how God is reflected in you. Experience true fulfillment as you learn, understand and apply biblical submission.

Created to be His Help Meet mentors women on how to have a heavenly marriage. The author makes the argument that men and women were created by God to play different roles in society. A woman acting like a man creates a unisex society, which is a senseless society. Each chapter provides instruction, examples, letters from women, and concludes with a “Time To Consider” section. Paperback.

From the author: “… I had no idea God had so much to say to us ladies until I began going through God’s Word verse by verse, writing the different sections of Created to be His Help Meet. Many times as I read a passage, I would say to my husband, “I’m not going to include those verses in my book because if I do the ladies (of any religious group you can think of including my own) will not like my book or promote it.” My dear husband would say to me, “If God thought it was important enough to inspire it as part of his Word to us, then you should include it.” And so I would cringe and add one more controversial subject after another…”
