God Glimpses from the Jewelry Box is a lovely collection of
devotions designed to help readers find the jewels hidden in
everyday life. I especially like the "Jewelry Insurance Inventory
Form" at the end of each chapter that asks readers to consider
where their treasure is, and encourages them to store up treasures
in heaven--those that will never lose their value. A jewel of a
book!
--Deborah Raney, author of Because of the Rain and the Chicory Inn
Novels In the time it takes to choose and put on your jewelry,
Michelle Cox and John Perrodin will inspire and encourage your walk
with God. In God Glimpses from the Jewelry Box: Becoming Jewels God
Can Use you will gain gems from God's word that will enlighten and
energize each and every day to create a priceless future.

Skills for Every Woman and 7 Simple Skills for Every Man
From the time I was a tiny girl, I had a fascination with jewelry.
I spent hours going through both my mother and my grandmother's
jewelry boxes--each piece telling a story. Michelle and John have
captured just that, the reminiscent feeling of pouring through
those boxes. I will not be able to look at my own jewelry box the
same. Instead of glitz and bling, I now see the fingerprints of God
and my life story. This book will be my go-to gift for all my
girlfriends. This is a "curl up on the couch with a cup of coffee"
feel-good book. Now I'm going to accessorize, accessorize, and
sparkle for Jesus!
--Carol Hatcher, author and international speaker Looking for a
refreshing reminder of your place in God's Kingdom? Then this is
the book for you! In God Glimpses from the Jewelry Box: Becoming
Jewels God Can Use, Michelle Cox and John Perrodin wrap spiritual
truth around ordinary items found in jewelry boxes. Beckoning
chapter titles such as "Broken Jewelry," "A Pet Collar,"
"Diamonds," and "The Charm Bracelet" invite readers to ponder their
own treasured status. In addition to poignant stories, each of the
thirty chapters contains an encouraging quotation, prayer, and
Scripture--and ends with the thought-provoking "Jewelry Insurance
Inventory Form".

Devotions to Encourage You
If there is one thing I hold dear in my heart, it's the heirloom
jewelry in my jewelry box ... not necessarily for the monetary
value, but because of the stories my mother shared with me as she
showed them to me back when they took up residence in the velvety
recesses of her own jewelry box. But even more important than the
jewelry passed down from great-great grandmothers, great-aunts,
grandmothers, and my own mother is the legacy of being a woman
after God's heart, which they also passed on to me. Within the
words of this book, Michelle Cox has brilliantly woven the joy of
the bling with the truth of the jewels, and the high value of God
glimpses from the jewelry box.
--Eva Marie Everson, Best-selling author, Five Brides My friend,
author Michelle Cox who wears "bling for the King," has written a
sparkling new devotional God Glimpses from the Jewelry Box that
will perfectly fit anyone who loves to shine! Dig in and discover
the treasures that are sometimes hidden under tarnished heirloom
silver, or the tossed aside strand of priceless pearls. Though you
wear your charm bracelet every day, did you ever think of each
charm as a memento of God's faithfulness? Cox takes us through
thirty different kinds of jewelry, inserting fascinating stories
and prompting us to ask questions of our heart and soul in the
process. Who knew that a pocket watch and earrings could spur us on
to greater commitment to God who is the Creator of all true jewels?
I greatly enjoyed this devotional and highly recommend it for those
who, like me, fill half our luggage with statement necklaces!
--Lucinda Secrest McDowell, author of Dwelling Places and blogger

You can't do better than my friends Michelle Cox and John Perrodin
if you're looking for spiritual guidance leading to real growth.
When I think of them both, what comes to mind beyond their
commitment to stellar writing and careful Scriptural scholarship is
a deep love for God and a reverence for His Word. Add to that their
example as spouses and parents in two long-term marriages, and you
have a pair of authors uniquely qualified to mine the unsearchable
riches of Christ. Immerse yourself in God Glimpses...and come away
more disciplined, consistent, and prepared to serve.
--Jerry B. Jenkins, Novelist & Biographer, JerryJenkins.com
Catching a glimpse of God is one of the great joys and
encouragements in our daily walk with the Lord. I'm so glad
Michelle and John wrote the God Glimpses books. It's a brilliant
idea - stuffing jewelry boxes and tool boxes with clever concepts
to enhance our relationship with God.
--Todd Starnes, Fox News Channel
