Samantha Rousseau is used to getting her hands dirty. Working on a master's degree in wildlife biology while helping take care of her sick father, she has no time for celebrity gossip, designer clothes, or lazy vacations. So when a duchess from the small country of Lilaria invites her to dinner, Samantha assumes it's to discuss a donation for the program. The truth will change the course of her life in ways she never dreamed . . . As crown prince of Lilaria, Alex D'Lynsal has had his share of scandalous headlines, but the latest pictures in the press have sent him packing to America and forced him to swear off women. That is, until he meets Samantha Rousseau. She's stubborn, feisty, and incredibly sexy. Not to mention heiress to an estate in his country, which makes her everyone's front-page news. While Sam tries to navigate her new world of politics and wealth, she will also have to dodge her growing feelings for Alex. Giving in to them means more than just falling in love; it would mean accepting the weight of an entire country on her shoulders.

In our struggling world, we are responsible to bring God's love and Christ's light into a world that seems to have forgotten this task to foster more secular responses to the world's problems. Many of us try to do everything by ourselves and soon realize we cannot do much without God's help. This book speaks to real life issues that need our individual and national attention. The needs of our children, the sacrifices of the military, struggling families, the power of prayer, the importance of mission work, ubuntu possibilities to solve problems, core values in the Word, the value of Christian holidays, and the effects of COVID on ourselves, the nation, and the world. Fears and doubts are not answers to our problems, but all things are possible with love. With her own prayers, poems, and philosophies and various Biblical texts, the author encourages all to see that with Jesus Christ's love, light, hope, peace, and grace, all things are possible when we open our hearts to God and others. Creating a beautiful world for us, God gave us free will so that we might grow in the wisdom of His Word and laws. We must love one another and be Christ with flesh on. Anger, hatred, violence, and malicious words will not create a better world; only love can. COVID taught us that we "are" because of so many people. Americans and the nation have been given much, and with that abundance, much is expected of us.

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.
