The Blurry Rules Book is all about ethics. Explain THAT to a tween girl! Author Nancy Rue approaches the subject by talking about those gray areas and hard-to-answer questions that aren't so clearly addressed in the Ten Commandments. Kids clearly understand 'Thou shalt not kill', but what about 'thou shalt not hate the guts of the girl who deliberately snubs you?' Sure 'thou shalt not steal,' but what if I catch somebody else doing it? There are no easy answers to questions or situations like these, but The Blurry Rules Book offers great advice about such issues. Young girls will discover that although there may not always be an easy answer or a concrete rule, there's always a God answer.

Four respected authors will take you on an unforgettable trip with true-to-life characters. Dorrie Shelton hopes a White Mountains vacation with her sister will rekindle their relationship.

Can she find love without losing her sister? Dr. Alexandria Tucker chooses a Sea Escape on Martha's Vineyard for her sabbatical.

Here's your ticket for a refreshing escape to the Northeast. Enjoy the view as God works His will in the lives of those who put their trust in Him.
