Raising a Saint
Fran Harris tells the story of her childhood, progressing through her teen years and into womanhood. Her young life was blighted by an alcoholic father but enriched by friendship and care of her beloved older brother and, in turn, by their loyalty to one another and concern for their mother and four siblings. The Saint family's life was totally dysfunctional and consequently Fran's education suffered. However, during the small amount of schooling she did receive, she managed to acquire a beautiful copperplate hand but knew not what she wrote. Being the resourceful, intelligent person she is, she taught herself to read at the age of seventeen. In her twenties and thirties, she was making notes and writing the stories of her early life as she remembered them. In the 1980s she was accepted into an external course at the University of New England and also acquired a very basic computer. It was then that she started to set down her tale. With her brother's earnest encouragement, she has finally completed it, alas too late for him to read..
Transformations of Love
The most controversial episode in the life of the seventeenth-century virtuoso and diarist John Evelyn has always been his passionate, complex friendship with the Restoration maid of honour Margaret Blagge, afterwards Mrs Godolphin. His 'Life of Mrs Godolphin', written after her early death in childbirth, exalted the friendship and represented her as effectively a saint. They saw their intense friendship as platonic spiritual mentoring. Yet it is sometimes argued that what took place between them was actually a kind of seduction on Evelyn's part; that far from trying to overcome her religious scruples about marriage to a young man she deeply loved, as he afterwards claimed, he secretly encou...
Straight Talk on God’S Undying Love for His Unique Women
Straight Talk! Gods Undying Love for His Unique Women is written for mature women, young women and teenage girls. It is to help Christians to let go and let God, and to encourage non-Christians to accept Gods gift, Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior. God put it in my heart to write this book years ago, however, I kept pushing it out of my mind and making excuses. Thank God for another opportunity and for impressing upon me the urgency to get it done. He has such a love and compassion for His women. His desire is to see His women free and holy, and walking in their anointing. This book expresses Gods heart, and my heartbeat and heartache for struggling women. This book is short, plain and easy reading; some topics may be controversial, but it is what the Word of God says. Topics on premarital sex and lust of the flesh often make some people uncomfortable, however, people are engaging in this sin every day. Women, it is time to come clean and be real. God is ready and waiting with open arms to receive His unique woman.

Frances' Story
Four independent-minded sisters come of age in the early 1900s - and four interwoven novels tell their stories, each through a different sister's eyes. The year is 1910, and the four Purcell sisters have only each other. Their mother has died, leaving them orphans in a rambling country estate. But with the help of the Mackenzies - their guardian and his family, whom the sisters come to love in very different ways - Sarah, Frances, Julia, and Gwen find the courage to follow their own paths in a world that is rapidly changing. Avid readers and fans of historical-fiction classics will love these spirited heroines - named "the Little Women of our times" by the TIMES of London - and will be thoroughly absorbed by their intertwining tales, full of feistiness, creativity, and young romance.
