Publisher's Description
Do you consider your choice of clothing a gray area? Do you think modest equals frumpy? Do you dress to get attention? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, Martha and Kent challenge you to diagnose your heart attitude about modesty—and about God and others. In the Bible, we see that immodesty is forbidden for reasons that go beyond our outward appearance. Martha and Kent write to teen girls in alternating sections that discuss immodesty’s causes and consequences; explain and examine legalism in tackling immodesty; and take a look at ways to be modest, giving readers a biblical framework for growing in modesty. Includes discussion questions.

Editorial Reviews
If you want a God-centered, gospel-saturated, and practical guide to the uncomfortable topic of modesty, look no further! Martha Peace and Kent Keller have given you a gift and will clear up what the Bible really says about the heart of modesty.
Martha Peace and Kent Keller have provided an invaluable resource for teenaged girls on the oft overlooked topic of modesty. This well organized book asks all of the right questions and systematically answers them by the use of Biblical truth. If young women are not taught the truth about the Gospel reasons for modesty, they often form opinions and habits that are difficult to change. The study of this short book will provide a framework for thinking through this issue that does not involve legalistic checklists but does involve taking seriously what a huge responsibility young women have as they make clothing choices. Martha Peace has included many practical examples from her point of view. The addition of Kent’s perspective as a father is so helpful. It is refreshing to see this topic elevated to the importance that it deserves! May the Lord use it to convince, convict and encourage.
We have known Martha and Kent for over twenty years. Both of them have had long-time ministries devoted to knowing the Word of God deeply and applying the Word of God practically to the everyday issues of life. Modesty is a sensitive subject that needs to be taught year by year as styles change and bodies change. Martha and Kent use their diverse experiences and perspectives to carefully apply the Bible's teaching on the heart of modesty. We highly recommend it to you.

A check-up book for your marriage! Tying The Knot Tighter is Martha's newest book, written with her Pastor, John Crotts. It has become very popular with couples for their own mini-retreats and churches sponsoring marriage retreats/weekends. It has proven to be a very helpful tool for all who use it to enrich their marriage relationships. From the back cover:
"Just as the best coaches remind their players to practice the basics of their sport, Christian couples need to be reminded regularly of the basics of a Christian Marriage. In a clear, down-to-earth style, Martha Peace and John Crotts provide these reminders through short chapters that couples can read, study, and pray over together.
The authors have broken down nineteen areas of marriage, summing up the Bible's teaching and offering a series of penetrating questions to help readers take inventory of themselves and their marriage. Each section ends with two recommended resources for readers who want to dig deeper in a particular area."

Psychologized Man is the third chapter of Martha's Attitudes of a Transformed Heart reproduced as a separate booklet, and is fundamental reading in helping the Christian understand why psychology offers no help or hope to the believer...but the Bible does. From the publisher:
"Non-Christians and Christians alike often embrace a low view of God, and consequently a casual view of sin and Scripture. Instead of perceiving God as "Most High", they attempt to make God subservient to man by thinking of "Man (as) Most High". The low view of God is reflected in their attitudes about God, their attitudes about Scripture, and their attitudes of the heart."Published by Focus Publishing

Martha believes this book is the important one she'll ever write! Attitudes of a Transformed Heart is about being "transformed by the renewing of your mind" and not being "conformed to this world" (Romans 12:2). It will help show you that transformed heart attitudes such as a high and proper view of God, humility, love, and gratitude are a grace-work of God in the life of Christians as they learn from the Scriptures a biblical view of God, man, and sin. Each chapter has study questions.

Becoming a Titus 2 Woman contains 10 chapters on how (by God's grace) a woman can develop the character of the godly older woman in Titus 2 and how she can (practically) teach and encourage younger women. Each chapter has study questions.
From the publisher:
"'Older women likewise are to ... teach what is good, that they may encourage the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored.' (Titus 2:3-5) Much is said and written today about mentoring. A mentor is a guide, a teacher, a counselor, an advisor; all words that apply to the Titus 2 Woman. Becoming a Titus 2 Woman is a tool to train older women to successfully mentor younger women. Within these pages are many examples of how to disciple younger women. It is practical in its approach as it teaches how, by God's grace, we develop the character that God wants every older woman to have."
