Book excerpt: A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK “Chandler Baker, queen of the feminist thriller, has delivered once again! The Husbands is a poignant exploration of what it would take for women to have it all." —Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Good Sister To what lengths will a woman go for a little more help from her husband? Nora Spangler is a successful attorney but when it comes to domestic life, she packs the lunches, schedules the doctor appointments, knows where the extra paper towel rolls are, and designs and orders the holiday cards. Her husband works hard, too... but why does it seem like she is always working so much harder? When the Spanglers go house hunting in Dynasty Ranch, an exclusive suburban neighborhood, Nora meets a group of high-powered women—a tech CEO, a neurosurgeon, an award-winning therapist, a bestselling author—with enviably supportive husbands. When she agrees to help with a resident’s wrongful death case, she is pulled into the lives of the women there. She finds the air is different in Dynasty Ranch. The women aren’t hanging on by a thread. But as the case unravels, Nora uncovers a plot that may explain the secret to having-it-all. One that’s worth killing for. Calling to mind a Stepford Wives gender-swap, New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network Chandler Baker's The Husbands imagines a world where the burden of the “second shift” is equally shared—and what it may take to get there. “Utterly engrossing and thoroughly timely, The Husbands is both a gripping, well-crafted mystery and an insightful critique of motherhood and marriage in the modern age--working mothers everywhere will feel seen in the best possible way.” —Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of A Good Marriage

Download or read book Unbelieving Husbands written by Ann M. Velia and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord Jesus Christ said, “ . . . look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest” (John 4:35). However, one field is rarely looked on by the institutional church: the field of spiritually-indifferent men married to Christian women. While their wives have the greatest potential to reap this harvest, they may be new in the faith themselves, or unequipped with training pertinent to their specialized mission. Unbelieving Husbands: The Neglected Harvest fills that need by coupling biblical principles with exercises to make them applicable to individual marriages. "Ann Velia’s book fills a definite niche in the church world. For women wanting to do God’s bidding in a difficult circumstance, this book offers a definite strategy for the believing wife living with an unbeliever. From the fascinating story of Lottie, Bud, and Harriet, to the scriptural principles revealed, the reader keeps turning pages to learn more. Personally, I gleaned much practical knowledge as well as new biblical insights by reading this book." Jewell Johnson Author of 365 Devotions for Women and Change Your World (both from Barbour Publishing, Inc.), writer, pastor’s wife, Bible teacher "Upon reading this book, I was amazed how lovingly and accurately the word of God was infused into its pages. The thought-provoking exercises can lead the reader straight through to the heart of God for all unsaved loved ones, and especially for husbands. You will gain a fresh and faithful perspective as you read, and rise above frustration and doubt. You will gain God’s perspective and peace by allowing God’s word to minister both to your needs and your husband’s."
