Cosmetics are substances used to enhance the appearance or scent of the human body. They are also used for the purposes of cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or alternating one's appearance. Although we call them cosmetics when used by women and toiletries when used by men, they include skin-care creams, shaving creams, lotions, powders, shampoos, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polish, makeup, deodorant, permanent waves, colored contact lenses, hair colors, hair sprays, gels, and items for dental care. However, God is not concerned with our physical appearance because these mortal bodies will one day put on immortality, and the corruptible will one day put on incorruptible. The Bible depicts us as the church, the bride of Christ who awaits the bridegroom. He is concerned with our spiritual nature. He is concerned with our soul. Can we be trusted with eternity is the question. To be presented on the Day of Judgment without spot, stain, or wrinkle, we need the cosmetic application of the Word of God. We need its life-giving water and blood as revealed in Christ Jesus to cover our confessed sins. We need it to rid ourselves of the terrible scent of sin. We need it for daily spiritual cleansing, beautifying, and for promoting our spiritual attractiveness. In other words, we need it to change us from glory to glory into the image of Christ. Our Lord and Savior is soon to return, and we need to be ready to receive him.This book contains 55 original, revealing and shocking, Holy-Spirit inspired, thought-provoking, and heartfelt devotionals written especially for black women-one for each week of the year (three extra devotionals for Week 52). Each devotional ends with a prayer box that allows you to personally commit yourselves and to reflect on the author's experiences and your own in relation to the Word of God.

How do you measure up spiritually?God likens the human body, that is, the fleshly body, to the spiritual body, his church. It is the spiritual body that comprises all of the components and is embodied in His son, Jesus Christ, the one and only who gave his life, body, and blood for us. God has given us everything we need not only to examine fully and know the inner workings of the church body, but also to gauge the health and condition of our own individual spiritual walk with Christ.Take the "30-for-30" spiritual well-being test to see how you measure up. Then use the health plan and prescriptions God has put in place for reaching and achieving "near-perfect" spiritual health.

In this book you will read the top 11 answers that men all over the world gave to the question, Why would you Leave your relationship, and would it be for good?Everyday I get thousands of questions from others asking for help with their relationship. A lot of the questions I receive have something to do with this question. As an advice column it is my job to help others after learning their situation. So, I thought the best way to do this would be to take a survey asking men this very question. I was surprised to learn there are more reasons than I thought. After going through each reason I picked the top 11 that most men started would cause them to leave a relationship and for good. I might write another book with a few other reasons later, however, this will cover the most common ones.
