Discover what it means to be the Bride of Christ. The Bible is full of wedding language, metaphors, symbolism, and pictures explaining the importance and significance of marriage. In Will You Marry Me?, author Laynie Travis discusses how the bridegroom and bride relationship found in the Bible is more than a metaphor. She shares how Jesus offers you an invitation and gives you clues showing what he intends this love relationship to look like.
In this seven session study, Laynie explains that Jesus, your bridegroom, passionately pursues you and invites you to be his bride. She teaches how to become betrothed to Christ, how to prepare yourself in this life for the coming wedding, and how to participate in a reciprocating love relationship with him. She uses Jewish wedding history, Biblical illustrations, miracles, and parables to demonstrate the deeper spiritual significance of what it means to be betrothed to Jesus. This study includes information and discussion about:
- The ancient Jewish wedding process and how it applies to believers - The parable of the ten virgins and the parable of the man in the wrong wedding clothes - The story of the Jewish brides of Isaac and Jacob and their betrothal scenes - Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana - Jesus, the Samaritan woman, and the betrothal scene - The future prophetic wedding, rapture, and second coming of Christ
Jesus is on his knee pleading for your hand in marriage.

Once a spy, always a spy. And once a renegade . . .
Director Wolfe brings Laynie "in from the cold" to a place of relative safety. However, she will remain free only if she meets Wolfe's three conditions. She must accept the new identity he gives her, and she must meet with an agency "shrink" to address the emotional damage caused by her years undercover. This counselor, handpicked by Wolfe, will evaluate Laynie and determine if she is fit to participate in his secret task force. Moreover, Laynie must remain in Wolfe's witness protection program. The program will hide Laynie from those who are hunting her, but it will also greatly curtail her freedom. Nothing goes as Laynie hopes. The rules grind and grate on her. They shackle her choices and constrict her movements. She feels controlled and manipulated. Her clashes with bureaucratic culture only serve to tighten the restrictions and send her spiraling downward, out of control. Meanwhile, in the background, dark forces are at work, forces that compel Laynie to disobey directives in order to save a life. Rather than proving her value to Wolfe's satisfaction, Laynie's risky exploits mark her as a faithless renegade, a rebel whose insubordination may earn her harsh, ruinous consequences. Laynie must fight to earn her place on the task force--even as unfolding events expose a looming danger. Wolfe's task force has a leak . . . one that threatens them all.Laynie Portland Book 1: Laynie Portland, Spy Rising--The Prequel Book 2: Laynie Portland, Retired Spy Book 3: Laynie Portland, Renegade Spy Book 4: Laynie Portland, Spy Resurrected, 06.02.2020

Описание:
"Retirement" means something altogether different to a spy. It means someone in authority over you has decided that "coming in from the cold" is out of the question. It means you'd better run.
LAYNIE PORTLAND has masqueraded as Swedish citizen Linn a Olander for more than two decades, the last seven years as companion to Vassili Aleksandrovich Petroff, senior technology advisor to the Secretary of the Russian Federation's Security Council.
Life as Petroff's mistress is lonely and difficult, even brutal, for Petroff has a pathological need to master what is "his." But the woman Petroff knows as "Linn a" is not the compliant, deferential woman he believes her to be. She is Laynie Portland--spy extraordinaire--and Laynie has stolen a wealth of secrets from Petroff and fed the treasure to her Marstead agency handlers.
As Petroff's abuse intensifies, Laynie fears for her life, and she petitions her agency to pull her out. Instead, her agency declares that she is too well-placed to decommission. Laynie is dismayed to learn that her Marstead chain of command would rather risk her death under Petroff's hand than lose the valuable intel she provides.
Out of options and faced with no viable alternative, Laynie runs.
Enraged by her betrayal, Petroff vows to capture and punish her, a certain death sentence. And when Laynie disobeys orders, Marstead issues her a "retirement package"--a short walk off the deck of a ferry into the icy black rollers of the Baltic Sea.
Pursued by Russian assassins and hunted by her own agency, Laynie scrambles, fights, and claws her way toward freedom--although she knows that it is only a matter of time before her pursuers overtake her. Desperate and despairing, Laynie is stunned to sense a higher presence at work, acting on her behalf. Could it be the God in whom her sister, Kari, trusts?
No. Why would he help me, Laynie asks herself, given the life I have lived?
