Whatsoever Things Are Lovely (2009)
A beautiful bracelet, stylish new scarf, or pair of sleek sunglasses--there's always room in a girl's closet for the perfect fashion accessory. But what about spiritual accessories? In Whatsoever Things Are Lovely, humorist and Bible teacher Rhonda Rhea challenges women to pursue those with the same passion that might be inspired by a blowout sale at their favorite department store. Pure things, holy things . . . lovely things. These are the life "accessories" that are must-haves, says Rhea. And using Philippians 4:8-9 as a springboard, she takes women on a fun adventure infused with practical spiritual truth about how focusing on those things can lead to more fruitful, more blessed, and more peace-filled lives. Includes a discussion guide, making it great for small group Bible studies.

High Heels in High Places: Walking Worthy in Way Cute Shoes (2007)
What woman doesn't love cute shoes? Rhonda Rhea's not afraid to admit her obsession with them--or to use this "shallow" addiction as a basis for a book! High Heels in High Places is a biblical journey for women who want to go deeper in their spiritual lives, but also want fall-off-your-high-heels laughter along the way. Using Colossians 1:9-12 as a springboard, Rhonda takes women on a fun adventure infused with practical spiritual truth about what it means to walk worthy before God. This unique and hilarious exploration is perfect for the "shoe overachiever" in all of us. It makes a great gift for the woman who has it all (and just doesn't have enough closet space to store it), or can be an enlightening small group resource.

I'm Dreaming of Some White Chocolate (2006)
Hours of ulcer-inducing shopping crammed between meetings, parties, and plays; a 72-hour wrapping frenzy; in-laws running rampant in the house--where's the sleep in heavenly peace?

Filled with outrageous humor and poignant insight from Scripture, this book offers practical solutions for making the season less stressful and more enjoyable. Brief, stand-alone chapters provide a touch of heavenly peace as readers escape from holiday stress and remember what the season is about.

INCITE: Environment
Just as we concern ourselves with the issue of global warming and its effects on our natural resources, we should also explore the effects of sin on our quality of life, and what we can do to improve our personal environment.

Compassion, love, kindness, gentleness, and yes! even humility are God-given virtues designed to improve our physical and spiritual space. So let us use these virtues in increased measure...We could all stand a breath of fresh air!

INCITE: Compassion
We all know the story... After a time of careless living the prodigal son returns to the home of a loving father who awaits him with open arms.

Just as this father welcomed his son, at the heart of God's plan of redemption is a father's heart of compassion. Who, regardless of your history, waits for you with open arms.

My dearly beloved Rhonda:

Peace be unto you!

Given the current distress and perplexity which the world is experiencing, inspirationally caused by the forces that be through man and nature, it is important that certain mysteries are brought to light at this time, that the wearied soul may find comfort in understanding the time and season, and his designed course and ordained destiny, as the end of the journey and its glory are upon you: for every journey must have an end. The time is come for you to gradually receive the full knowledge of God's grace, as the last fulfillment is at the door; grace to you: for Peace, the latter rain, whom you seek, and whom the world esteems not, is in your midst, incognito: for as it was at the first, so again it is at the last!

To he that has perception: Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open (expound) the book, and to loose (interpret) the seven seals thereof. Thus you were told to watch: for he comes as a thief. And understand the presence of a thief: for he never comes announced; but is in your midst, yet unawares to anyone but he that he makes his presence known to: incognito. Let he that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches (the body of faiths), even unto all men: it is the voice (doctrine: testimony) of the seventh angel (Peace: the last). The peace of the Father, which is accorded the Son, be with you; and the love of the Father, whom you are, ever to be reflected unto your brethren. Shalom! Salaam! Namaste!

Eternally with you!
Your friend,
Nicky
