Tempted and Tried


Book Description

Although temptation is a common and well-acknowledged part of the human experience, few realize the truth behind temptation and fewer still know how to defeat it. Tempted and Tried will not reassure Christians by claiming that temptation is less powerful or less prevalent than it is; instead, it will prepare believers for battle by telling the truth about the cosmic war that is raging. Moore shows that the temptation of every Christian is part of a broader conspiracy against God, a conspiracy that confronts everyone who shares the flesh of Jesus through human birth and especially confronts those who share the Spirit of Christ through the new birth of redemption. Moore walks readers through the Devil's ancient strategies for temptation revealed in Jesus' wilderness testing. Moore considers how those strategies might appear in a contemporary context and points readers to a way of escape. Tempted and Tried will remind Christians that temptation must be understood in terms of warfare, encouraging them with the truth that victory has already been secured through the triumph of Christ.




Too Much Temptation


Book Description

Sexy contemporary romance from the New York Times bestselling author, featuring an innocent but adventurous young woman who knows exactly what—and who--she wants, and the gorgeous dream guy who’s ready to fulfil all her fantasies. Sometimes too much of a good thing is the exact right amount . . . Awkward, insecure Grace Jenkins has had little experience with men. But that hasn’t stopped her from dreaming hard about Noah Harper. Gorgeous, strong, and darkly sexy, Noah has a rough edge beneath his polish that promises no mercy in the bedroom. When Grace learns Noah’s engagement has ended in scandal, she shyly offers him her support and her friendship. But Noah’s looking for something extra . . . Noah wants Grace—badly. He wants to possess those curves that go on forever, to savor her sweet innocence, to take her to the limits of white-hot desire . . . again and again. What he doesn’t want is anything more complicated than that, and he knows Grace is a woman who deserves better. Grace, however, knows exactly what she needs—the kind of ecstasy only Noah can give her. Brazenly, she accepts his offer, and Noah promises to make all her secret fantasies come true . . . “Lori Foster delivers everything you are looking for in a romance.” —Jayne Ann Krentz “Lori Foster should be on everyone's auto-buy list.” —Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Foster outwrites most of her peers.” —Library Journal “Smart, Sexy, engaging characters.

The Darkest Temptation


Book Description

NOTE: This is a special edition cover. The content is the same as the original work. A fortune teller once told Mila she'd find a man who would take her breath away. She refrained from telling her it would be literally while Mila ran for her life. Having always done what is expected of her, Mila dresses the part, only dates college boys with exemplary backgrounds, and doesn't ask questions. Not about her papa's absences or his refusal to let her set foot in her birthplace--Russia. Suffocated by the rules and unanswered questions, Mila does what she's always wanted to. She boards a plane to Moscow. She never expected to fall for a man on the way. One with unexplained wealth, tattoos on his hands, and secrets in his eyes. But it doesn't take long for his caress to become a rough grasp muffling her screams. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Unfortunately, a Russian winter is the coldest of them all, and Mila soon learns the only way to escape intact is to do the impossible and thaw her captor's heart.
