    <![CDATA[<p>Carolyn Mahaney identifies with the challenges facing women in  today's world and meets them with the guidance of God's Word. The  feminine virtues described in Titus 2 have transformed her life and  the lives of countless other women. This book will show you the  appeal of being a woman who lives for God and helps others do the  same.</p>  <p>&quot;Carolyn's warm, practical, biblical, God-centered approach  offers the mature mentoring that women of every age yearn for at  times. For some, <em>Feminine Appeal</em> may be an excellent  stand-in for the mentor they lack right now. For others, it will  wonderfully complement the relationship they have with an older  friend of the Titus 2 sort.&quot;<br/>  - John and Noël Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church,  Minneapolis</p>  <p>&quot;We love this book! It's a godsend for both wives and their  husbands. It gives women a clear vision of biblical femininity and  shows men what to encourage their wives towards. Carolyn has been a  friend and mentor to Shannon, and we're thrilled that through these  pages she provides women of all ages the same honest, convicting,  and hope-filled guidance.&quot;<br/>  -Joshua and Shannon Harris, author of <em>I Kissed Dating  Goodbye</em></p>  <p>&quot;We'll give this book our ultimate endorsement-we have given it  to all our married daughters! Carolyn offers the kind of godly,  seasoned counsel that is desperately needed by women today. She is  practical, authentic, and biblically based. This book ought to be  required reading for every woman-married or single!&quot;<br/>  -Dennis and Barbara Rainey, Founders, FamilyLife Today</p>  <p><em>&quot;Feminine Appeal</em> has had a huge impact on the women of  our church. Carolyn writes with a wonderful blend of soundness,  encouragement, humility, and practicality that makes this book one  of the best on the market for women desiring to please God in these  most basic and crucial of life callings. <em>Feminine Appeal</em>  has been the single most valuable book on Titus 2 living for women  that I (Connie) have ever read.&quot;<br/>  -Mark and Connie Dever, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington,  D.C.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Overwhelmed. Miserable. Exhausted. These are often the words that women use to describe their high-demand lifestyles. How are women who are always on the go expected to cope with the demands of work, family, and ministry? </p> <p>Carolyn Mahaney and her three daughters, Nicole Whitacre, Kristin Chesemore, and Janelle Bradshaw, recognize the needs of Christian women today. &lt;cite&gt;Shopping for Time offers the solution to women who truly desire to glorify God with every use of their time.</p> <p>These authors offer five tips to help ladies do it all without becoming overwhelmed: rise early, sit down, sit longer (occasionally), choose friends wisely, and take fifteen minutes. By weaving biblical principles of God&rsquo;s Word into these keys, these authors give women practical advice on how to fulfill—and excel in—their daily responsibilities. </p> <p>“Like most women today, I struggle with feelings of ‘too much to do and too little time to do it&rsquo;! My friend Carolyn Mahaney, along with her daughters, offers practical, biblical advice to help us plan, evaluate, strategize, and make wise choices concerning our time and priorities. As a godly mentor, Carolyn takes us by the hand, points us to God&rsquo;s Word, shares out of her own life experience, and shows us how to apply God&rsquo;s timeless truths to the contemporary challenges we face as women.”<br/> 	<strong>Nancy Leigh DeMoss</strong>, author; &lt;cite&gt;Revive Our Hearts radio host</p> <p> “‘We can actually do all that God has called us to do… and we can do it in a peaceful, joyful manner and get sufficient rest beside.&rsquo; When I read that, a light flashed on in my soul. Of course! I knew that! Once again Carolyn, Nicole, Kristin, and Janelle have created a book that&rsquo;s fun to read and filled with truth that resonates because it&rsquo;s biblical and practical and manageable.”<br/> 	<strong>Noël Piper</strong>, wife, mother, grandmother, and author of &lt;cite&gt;Faithful Women and Their Extraordinary God</p> <p> “&lt;cite&gt;Shopping for Time offers a glimpse into the delightful Mahaney household. This book offers no simplistic solutions to the perils of superwoman syndrome. Instead, it deliberately leads women to the bedrock of biblical priorities and then suggests real-life methods by which to apply them.”<br/> 	<strong>Mary K. Mohler</strong>, wife of R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ 	    -Isn-t it telling that our culture requires training and certification for so many vocations of lesser importance but hands us marriage and motherhood without instruction?-    Carolyn Mahaney identifies with the challenges facing women in today-s world and meets them with the guidance of God-s Word. In this book of instruction for wives and mothers, she explores seven feminine virtues given in Titus 2 that have transformed her life and the lives of countless other women.    God has given older women the responsibility to teach younger women about these feminine virtues. And these virtues are not just about having a good marriage and family; they are about commending the Gospel to the watching world. Feminine Appeal invites you to be transformed by the Gospel and to display the Gospel jewel with great elegance as you live out the wisdom that Mahaney offers.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>&quot;Scripture illuminates the path of marital intimacy. The Song of  Solomon shines brightly, showing us the way to the best sex we can  possibly experience.&quot;</p>  <p>&quot;As practical as it is profound, Sex, Romance, and the Glory of  God may well be the best book on marriage I've ever read. I was  motivated to love my wife more and broadened in my understanding of  how loving my wife brings glory to God . . . this book is truly a  treasure.&quot;<br/>  Gary Thomas, author of <em>Sacred Marriage and Sacred  Parenting</em></p>  <p>&quot;Men, if you are looking for a book that will give you a few  easy tips for spicing up your sex life, look somewhere else. This  book invites you instead to completely revolutionize your romantic  relationship with your wife. It calls all of us to a more profound  and deeply satisfying kind of countercultural sex than most of us  have ever experienced.&quot;<br/>  Bob Lepine, co-host of FamilyLife Today, author of <em>The  Christian Husband</em></p>  <p>&quot;There's not a husband I know that won't benefit from this book.  This is more than a book for the bedroom. It will train you to  romance your wife and set you on a lifelong pursuit of winning her  heart. Wives, do yourselves a favor and buy this book for your  husbands!&quot;<br/>  Joshua Harris, author of <em>Boy Meets Girl</em></p>]]>
