title: His Lady: Sacred Promises for God's Woman
author:  T. D. Jakes 
description: Preacher T.D. Jakes (author of <i><a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0399144145/${0}">The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord</a></i>) has assembled an inspirational collection of God's promises, as well as his own suggested vows of praise and appreciation for God's love and forgiveness. As a tool for prayer and comfort, this is a well-organized and easy-to-use handbook. Prayer headings speak to the variety of painful circumstances that lead women into conversation with God, including such issues as abuse, betrayal, financial difficulty, and guilt. Beneath each heading is a two-page spread: On the left are biblical quotes that speak to the specific problem; on the right are soothing promises from God and a vow women can make in response. There's even a section in the back called "Waling Women's Prayer Pages" for women to use to write their own thoughts, troubles, and thanks. Readers who have found comfort and support from Jakes's previous books will certainly be pleased with this latest companion.
zlib_text: Jake suddenly knew for certain that he was the first.
  Her first? Was it possible?
  He used the last bit of his resolve to lean up on his elbows and look down at her. Her face was
  the picture of abandon, her hair a wild carpet spread out across the pillows.
  This was too big a gift for him to take without words. “Mary.”
  She’d closed her eyes and arched her neck. He tried not to look.
  “Mary, listen to me.” Desperation colored his efforts. Jake fisted his hands in her hair and forced
  her attention. “Are you sure? Sure it’s me you want? You don’t even know me.”
  She stared up at him with heavy-lidded eyes, her lips slightly parted and her chest heaving. His
  mouth went dry as she bit on her bottom lip and tried to smile.
  “I chose you because you’re a good person. A kind and careful soul who cares about being
  somebody’s first.”
  Jake started to shake his head, to deny what she’d said. He was far removed from anyone who
  resembled such a description. But she didn’t know it. Couldn’t know it.
