Book Description

Finding a husband is serious business. And serious business requires serious planning. Charity Raber is one of many single women who came to Birch Creek, Ohio, with one goal in mind: secure a husband from among the desperate bachelors a newspaper advertisement claimed inhabited the town. Even though that claim proved to be nothing more than a cruel prank, Charity is still hopeful that her happy ending might be within reach when she’s set up on a date with Jesse Bontrager. That is until Jesse not-so-gently shares that he has no interest in a relationship with anyone—and especially not with her. One year later, Charity is working as a caretaker for a kind, elderly English woman in the nearby town of Marigold. She’s also working hard on a brand-new courtship plan. A plan that absolutely does not involve Jesse Bontrager. But when he moves next door and is made aware of her scheming, Charity vows to prove that her plan is foolproof. Meanwhile, Jesse is sure she’ll make a fool of herself. And for some reason he’s not willing to let that happen. This stubborn bachelor and determined bachelorette will soon learn that their plans rarely work out as expected—but God’s plans always will.

This book has two card decks, one physical, the other in an app, Deckible, which give you a pocket size version of the questions.

Book Description

Are you Seriously Dating or Engaged? Kenady sat behind Damien at their church for several years, not knowing he would one day ask for her hand in marriage. Through personal stories full of honesty, vulnerability, and humor, this couple shares their journey and testimony with others who are thinking about having a godly marriage. Instead of doing things the way the world expects, Damien and Kenady had a heart to do things God’s way, including a covenant not to have sex before marriage. In #CompletelyMarried, you’ll discover: ● How to establish the right boundaries for your relationship ● The crucial importance of vision ● The key requirements in finding the right accountability for your relationship ● How to prepare yourself as husband or wife before “I Do” ● Experience-based tips on practical tasks like shopping for an engagement ring and planning your wedding The reality is that there are plenty of bad examples of marriage out there, whether in the media or in our own families. Damien and Kenady provide a biblically sound blueprint for laying the foundation of your marriage as God intended. If you are tired of seeing or experiencing one failed, purposeless relationship after another, and yearn to understand a better approach, #CompletelyMarried is the book you’ve been waiting for! "From his previous work, #CompletelySingle, to this book in partnership with Kenady, #CompletelyMarried, we get the opportunity to see multiple sides of the spectrum: single (the struggle and the strides), engaged (the hunt and the hard work), and married (the beginning and beyond)... With over twenty-three years of experience in our own marriage, we can affirm that many principles they have shared are the same principles that have kept our marriage flourishing." — Darius and Melba Dunson, Associate Pastors of Victory Church

Damien Northcutt is a gambler, a rake, a bastard, and… bored. Madeline Barnes is a botanist, a lady, an innocent, and… curious. When Damien accidentally plays knight-errant and rescues Madeline from the clutches of her scheming relatives, he discovers she might be the key to getting what he’s always wanted—revenge. Even though Damien has warned her repeatedly he is no gentleman, Madeline is sure deep down underneath his rakish demeanor he is a hero. Why else would he secret her out of a ball to safety? Damien’s plan includes seduction but not marriage. What he doesn’t expect is being seduced himself by Madeline’s smiles and laughter and passion. But she is meant for Damien’s half brother, and enacting his revenge means ruining the match… and breaking her heart.

Book Description

The period from her first London assembly to her wedding day was the narrow span of autonomy for a middle-class Englishwoman in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. For many women, as Katherine Sobba Green shows, the new ideal of companionate marriage involved such thoroughgoing revisions in self-perception that a new literary form was needed to represent their altered roles. That the choice among suitors ideally depended on love and should not be decided on any other grounds was a principal theme among a group of heroine-centered novels published between 1740 and 1820. During these decades, some two dozen writers, most of them women, published such courtship novels. Specifically aiming them at young women readers, these novelists took as their common purpose the disruption of established ideas about how dutiful daughters and prudent young women should comport themselves during courtship. Reading a wide range of primary texts, Green argues that the courtship novel was a feminized genre—written about, by, and for women. She challenges contemporary readers to appreciate the subtleties of early feminism in novels by Eliza Haywood, Mary Collyer, Charlotte Lennox, Samuel Richardson, Frances Brooke, Fanny Burney, Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane West, Mary Brunton, Maria Edgeworth, and Jane Austen—to recognize that these courtship novelists held in common a desire to reimagine the subject positions through which women understood themselves.
