In this inspirational work, the author offers concrete advice on how to cope with life’s greatest tragedies, challenges, and disappointments. She reminds her listeners that there are no “pat answers” to why misfortunes sometimes occur and that these troubles are not necessarily tests of one’s love for God or punishment for one’s sins. She shares with us some of the challenges in her own life and the lives of her admirers, and she reveals how we can grow closer to Jesus Christ.

This is only one of the many revelations in Eugenia Price’s intimate account of the many months she spent sorting through voluminous historical research and writing Margaret’s Story, the third novel in her Florida trilogy. Published as a companion to the novel, this journal offers a fascinating view of the author at work as the novel developed week by week.

Eugenia Price, a renowned Christian author who was also a master of romance, recounts her discovery and exploration of St. Simon's Island, an island off the coast of Georgia. Within this book, she chronicles the island's history and how the island specifically influenced and inspired her later works.

With revealing, dynamic insight, Eugenia Price searches for God’s own answers for modern times. The familiar Gospel words breathe with new life as she cuts through the superficialities of those who attempt to deemphasize the Bible and draws up sharp guidelines that 20th-century Christians can follow. Each of Miss Price’s favorite Gospel verses is included in the book, followed by her reflections on them. Her exposition of the beloved King James passages rings with authenticity and poetic authority.

Eugenia Price embodies this Spirit in words that make The Acts a joyous revelation. Something extraordinary happened to the men and women in this New Testament book, ending their grief and filling them with sudden courage. From the moment they poured into the streets on Pentecost to the time of Paul’s last words from prison, Jesus energized these early Christians from within. Their lives reveal the triumphant story of how the church began to “happen”.

In these chaotic times, when many people who claim to be Christian are searching for relevance in the secular to justify their worldly aspirations, much of the Christian heritage is being ignored or discarded. But Miss Eugenia Price turns back time for a moment, and in these early Victorian lyrics, she finds surprisingly sound, contemporary meaning that stands boldly above the ideas of today's so-called radical thinkers.

Here is a bold thinker who can write, a committed Christian who can light up experiences common to us all in a language literate and understandable. As her readers and listeners have come to expect, she does not hesitate to share a viewpoint that has rejected the hot-house conditioning and automatic answers that produce impotent disciples. Rather, she invites us to take a bold look at the pretensions that have been substituted for reality, the doctrinal escapes too long preferred to God himself.

According to Eugenia Price, the emotionally healthy person is the one who is focused outside of the self and whose attention is directed toward God and other people. In Leave Yourself Alone, she explores specific areas of life - work, prayer, conversation, relationships - where people can and should “leave themselves alone”.

In The Unique World of Women, Eugenia Price creates unforgettable, intimate portraits of Keturah, Mary of Jerusalem, and other women from the Bible and relates their troubles to the dilemmas women face today. Originally published to great acclaim in 1969, The Unique World of Women is filled with Eugenia Price’s sage advice on how 20th-century women can learn from the trials and tribulations suffered by the women of the Bible.

God is not mysterious, or unknowable, or far away according to Eugenia Price. In this encouraging book, she helps listeners discover the loving Savior who came to earth to reach people. The one who makes it possible to come closer to him.
