Первый в дилогии "Горе и радость семьи Керр" роман американской писательницы Лиз Кертис Хиггс переносит читателя в Шотландию середины XVIII века. Талантливая рассказчица, известная своими интерпретациями библейских сюжетов, на этот раз она предлагает по-новому взглянуть на ветхозаветную историю Руфи и ее свекрови Ноемини.

Заключительная часть трилогии «В стране лилового вереска».

История взаимоотношений ее главных героев — сестер Лины и Розы и их кузена Джейми — подходит к драматической и неожиданной развязке. Все трое оказываются в ситуации, достойный выход из которой можно найти лишь по милости Божьей. И Бог, верный Своему слову, не покинул ни одного из них даже в самых трагических и, казалось бы, безнадежных обстоятельствах. Эта история напоминает нам, что "вечером водворяется плач, а наутро вселяется радость"...

История юной немой скрипачки Дейвины, рассказанная Лиз Кертис Хиггс на страницах романа МИЛОСТЬ В ОЧАХ ТВОИХ, - это история библейской Дины из Книги Бытие, помещенная в декорации Шотландии начала XIX века. Автор предлагает чи­тателям свою трактовку этой ветхозаветной драмы, кото­рая в ее пересказе превращается в волнующее повествование о безрассудной страсти и жестоком отмщении, утраченной невинности и разрушенных мечтах, чудовищном позоре и без­граничной милости.

Christmas Eve 1894

All Margaret Campbell wants for Christmas is a safe journey home. When her plans for a festive holiday with her family in Stirling crumble beneath the weight of her brother’s bitterness, the young schoolteacher wants nothing more than to return to the students she loves and the town house she calls home.

Then an unexpected detour places her in the path of Gordon Shaw, a handsome newspaperman from Glasgow, who struggles under a burden of remorse and shame.

When the secret of their shared history is revealed, will it leave them tangled in a knot of regret? Or might their past hold the threads that will bind their future together?

As warm as a woolen scarf on a cold winter’s eve, A Wreath of Snow is a tender story of love and forgiveness, wrapped in a celebration of all things Scottish, all things Victorian, and, especially, all things Christmas.

SHE LOST EVERYTHING SHE LOVED. HE HAD EVERYTHING SHE NEEDED. BUT COULD SHE FIND THE COURAGE TO TRUST HIM?

Stepping from a battered coach on a rainy April eve, newly widowed Elisabeth Kerr must begin again, without husband or title, property or fortune. She is unafraid of work and gifted with a needle, but how will she stitch together the tattered remnants of her life? And who will mend her heart, torn asunder by betrayal and deception?

Elisabeth has not come to Selkirk alone. Her mother-in-law, Marjory Kerr, is a woman undone, having buried her husband, her sons, and any promise of grandchildren. Dependent upon a distant cousin with meager resources, Marjory dreads the future almost as much as she regrets the past. Yet joy still comes knocking, and hope is often found in unexpected places.

When more than one worthy hero steps forward to woo Elisabeth, she makes a bold choice, then must confess her heart's desire. Will he refuse her out of pride, or surrender to her love?

Роман "Вечный укор" - первый в трилогии "В стране лилового вереска". В основу своего произведения Лиз Кертис Хиггс положила один из психологически сложнейших сюжетов Ветхого Завета - историю Иакова и двух его жен, Рахили и Лии (см. Книгу Бытие), - переплетя его с историей своей любимой Шотландии. Автор переносит читателя в XVIII век, в реалиях которого перед ним разворачивается библейская драма и по-новому оживают знакомые персонажи.

More is what you’ll find here: more in-depth teaching in a workbook format, more questions that help you grasp the lessons each story offers, and more ways to embrace the grace and sovereignty of God.

Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible Workbook
“If you’re reading Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible on your own, the workbook lets us sit side by side as I guide you through each chapter of these women’s lives. If you’re using the book and workbook in a small-group setting, think of me as an unseen sister cheering you on and helping you delve further into the biblical material. The goal here is personal growth, not pages full of ink, so take your time and savor the journey.”
–Liz Curtis Higgs

A spiteful boss, a defiant employee, a manipulative mother, a desperate housewife, an envious sister…honey, we know these women. We’ve lived with them, worked with them, or caught a glimpse of them in our mirrors.

Now let’s take a look at their ancient counterparts in Scripture: Sarah mistreated her maidservant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her son, Leah claimed her sister’s husband, and Rachel envied her fertile sister.

They were far from evil, but hardly perfect. Mostly good, yet slightly bad. In other words, these matriarchal mamas look a lot like us.

“A Slightly Bad Girl is simply this: a woman unwilling to fully submit to God. We love him, serve him, and worship him, yet we find it difficult to trust him completely, to accept his plan for our lives, to rest in his sovereignty.” —from Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible

Glen of Loch Trool. Spring 1808. Davina McKie is a bonny lass of seventeen, as clever as they come and a gifted musician. Unable to speak since childhood, she is doted on by her belligerent younger brothers, Will and Sandy, who vow to

Opposites attract? Maybe not.

Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people—of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same charming Pennsylvania town—could be.

She loves history; he loves new ideas. She sticks to the rules; he likes to break them. She’s into saving relics; he’s into saving souls. The one trait they share is a penchant for controlling every aspect of their lives, including their stubborn hearts.

When Emilie’s search for an archaeological treasure leads her to the one piece of land she can’t have (thanks to Jonas), they choose opposing sides in an engaging battle of wits. Emilie, a no-nonsense sort of woman, is determined to have her way. But Jonas is on a mission as well: He wants to hear Emilie laugh. Often.

The Scottish Lowlands, Summer 1790

Jamie McKie is determined to return to his ancestral home in Glen Trool and claim his inheritance—a harrowing journey that will test the depth of his courage and the strength of his sword. Haunted by a shameful past and wrestling with an uncertain future, Jamie must outwit his devious Uncle Lachlan and confront the two men he most fears: Evan, the brother whose inheritance he stole, and Alec, the father whom he blatantly deceived.

Jamie faces a perilous journey of the heart as well: Two sisters each stake a tender claim on his affections. Quiet, gentle Leana is the mother of his firstborn. Her spirited younger sister, Rose, is expecting his second child. Honor and duty prevail but not without heartache, as Jamie prepares to fight for all he holds dear.
