The "Monday" of everyday life inevitably comes after a restful Sunday ... fifty-two times a year. Just as the idyllic moves into the mundane, so a couple quickly moves from the honeymoon to the "work" of a marital relationship. Small or large, every marriage has rough spots. Fifty-Two Mondays acknowledges that the "everyday" or married life can begin to divide what God has put together. In this age of "irreconcilable differences" and "no-fault" divorce, couples are trading marriage for separation at a staggering rate. Regrettably, Christian couples are no different. Fortunately, God is still the Author of hope. You can enjoy the kind of marriage God intended with your mate, even on the "Mondays," because God has not left us in the dark. Instead, He provided the perfect guide to marital success in the Bible. Fifty-Two Mondays provides a fresh understanding of the biblical principles and practical application needed to fully enjoy life as "one." Dr. Marianne de Deugd has been a full-time Christian counselor for over twenty years and currently serves as the director of Royal Palm Ministries Counseling and Training Center in Fort Myers, Florida. She has obtained a doctorate of ministry in counseling, as well as master's degrees in counseling and biblical counseling. Dr. de Deugd is certified by the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors, Peacemaker Ministries, and Prison Fellowship. Marianne is a frequent speaker, seminar leader, and author. She draws extensively from the experience gained during thirty-four years of marriage to her husband, Bill. Marianne and Bill have four children, and have successfully navigated over 1700 Mondays.

Three government scientists go rogue and run an experiment designed to reduce the gestation period of the human race. The experiment goes terribly wrong and results in two babies being murdered. A young woman reporter investigates the crime to help unravel the mystery of all that happened while the youngest of the three scientists, innocent of the murders, is embroiled in the turmoil that ensues. The tragedy comes to the attention of the local congressman and results in a congressional hearing to find out why government oversight failed during the events of the experiment and its aftermath.

A team of psychologists has gathered in a small college town to conduct a revolutionary experiment: To find five "savants" with extreme and diverse aptitudes, in order to create a sixth composite intelligence using new cybernetic technology. The first experiments show promise, but a terrifying secret from the past will transform the project in ways the researchers never anticipated--and infect the newborn intelligence with a catastrophic thirst for vengeance. "Its thought-provoking subject notwithstanding, David's tale is an action-packed no-brainer full of guilty pleasures for even the most cerebral reader." - Publishers Weekly At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
