He’s ready to put all his attention into developing the office when he’s given one last assignment: protect a country singer from potential harm. A no-fraternization policy prevents relationships between clients and bodyguards, and Troy has always maintained a professional distance. But Kayla Keller gets under his skin in a way that no other woman has. Troy has to choose between a relationship he desires and a promotion he’s wanted for a long time. And just when he thinks he has the answer, new information pops up, putting Kayla’s life in even more jeopardy. Will they catch the man who attacked her, or will their growing love slip between their fingers before it has a chance to begin? A Christian romance with a happy ending!

    Maxwell helps us discover the exhilarating and sometimes arduous journey of Christian discipleship, viewing it in the light of knowledge gained through the Restoration. He explains why we must develop the traits of a true disciple, including being longsuffering, yet firm and steadfast, and admonishes us along the road to becoming perfect "in process of time." Underscoring the importance of connecting our behavior with our beliefs, he reminds us that discipleship "cannot be merely intellectual." The Promise of Discipleship provides a deeper, fuller understanding of the commandments that enable us to "live after the manner of happiness," even though we live in a time of commotion.
