If yes which book shops. I would love to get some "A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her."

No matter how hard the teacher tried, he never changed! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
