And to my Beloved
Savior-Shepherd-Friend
eternal Head and King
my Bridegroom
My beloved is mine, and I am his.
With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
THE SONG OF SONGS
Shes done it again! In Adorned, Nancy gives us another rich resource to help us become Titus 2 women. As I read this book I felt that I was sitting in Nancys kitchen enjoying a cup of tea and a Titus 2 conversation. She invites us into her heart. She encourages and equips us to share the gospel and our lives with other women. This is a lovely book.

Adorned is a beautiful call to Titus 2 livinglife on life, woman to woman, one generation to another. We need this book.

Beautifully written in poetic prose, Nancy has penned her most significant work yet for women in Adorned! This delightful, fresh look at the biblical mandate in Titus 2 is profound, yet practical. You will sense the Holy Spirit calling you to live the life God has made you for and called you to.
REBECCA LUTZER
Retired RN and wife of Dr. Erwin Lutzer, pastor emeritus of The Moody Church
Nancy is one of the women God has used to shape me into a better reflection of Himself. Her book Adorned crams a thousand coffee shop conversations about life, love, and godliness into a single, riveting book. Women in every season of life need to read it, reread it, and pass it along to the other women in their circle.
ERIN DAVIS
Womens ministry leader, wife, and momma who would be adrift without the encouragement and support of her sisters in Christ
Adorned is a Christ-exalting, mind-renewing, life-altering presentation of Titus 2 that will help women, young and old, embrace their call to learn from one another, to the glory of Christ our Savior.
JACKIE HILL PERRY

Nancys instruction, wisdom, and grace will challenge you to not only pray for a woman who you might call a spiritual mother, but youll also desire to be the type of woman others might call onfor the good of the church and to the glory of God.
TRILLIA NEWBELL
Author of Enjoy, Fear and Faith, and United
Adorned is more than a book that articulates the virtues of the Titus 2 woman. You will be inspired to be biblically beautiful, adorned in the sound doctrine of God, and prepared for the kingdom work of God no matter your season of life.
KAREN LORITTS
Speaker and teacher
Nancys new book is a call for all Christian womenyoung and oldto live out the Titus 2 command of life-on-life discipleship. More than ever, we need women to show us how to live out the gospel in our daily life. Older women, we need you!
CHRISTINA FOX
Licensed counselor, speaker, author of A Heart Set Free: A Journey to Hope through the Psalms of Lament
This is truly Nancys legacy work. Through what feels like a personal conversation, she takes women back to the Greek and Roman culture to grasp Titus 2, and urges us to rise up today to adorn the Bride of Christ. This book will influence the church and the personal lives of women in a way that few books ever have.
DANNAH GRESH
Bestselling author of And the Bride Wore White
Nancys practical insight, ageless wisdom, and warm fervor rang like bells through my spirit as I read this book. Both like an alarm waking me and a recurring melody inspiring me to understand again how my womanhood is beautified and can blossom in a multigenerational community of women following the Lord day by day together.
KRISTYN GETTY
Hymn writer/singer and mother of three daughters
In a world where in-person relationships are becoming the exception rather than the rule, Adorned calls the women of the church back to the vital and joyful work of cultivating real-life relationships centered on the gospel of Jesus. I am thankful for Nancys work to develop a resource on Titus 2 that is substantive, faithful, and practical.
