How Grace Sets Us Free from the Performance Mindset

Christian Living / Spiritual Growth / Inspirational

Date Published: September 2, 2025

Publisher: Lucid Books Publishing

The performance mindset leaves many Christians feeling stuck—working hard to please God but never quite feeling at peace. Doubts creep in, making the peace of God feel just out of reach, as if we’re playing an endless if/then game: If I do everything right, then maybe I’ll be okay with God.

Living Under the Influence shows how grace frees us from that cycle. It invites us to confront five common myths we often believe about God and ourselves:

If I pray and read the Bible more, then God will change how I feel about myself.

If I live a holy life and make good choices, then God will be pleased with me.

If my life is messy, then God won’t choose or accept me.

If I clean up my act first, then God can use me in His kingdom.

If I become a better person, then God will bless me with a better life.

If you’re a Christ-follower who genuinely wants to love God through how you live, this book offers a different lens—a way of thinking rooted not in performance, but in grace. And grace changes everything.

As her father lay dying, I swore always to protect fifteen-year-old Zenevieve. I took the grieving girl in, and she filled my life with sunshine. Now she’s grown, she’s looking for a mate, and her eyes have turned to me.

Zenevieve has always been my weakness, but she’s not the woman who has been promised to me. I’m waiting for the Omega I’ve never met, who may have died, who could be lost to me forever. I will wait for her, because I would rather perish in dragonfire than touch a woman who isn’t mine.

But starving for my mate burns my soul. I can resist all temptation, until one day I slip, and I catch the wrong woman in my arms. Sweet, adoring Zenevieve will never forgive me for rejecting her, and I’ll never forgive myself for causing her pain.

The world ends, and then it begins again.

Five hundred years later, I’ve got a second chance to make things right. This time around, I’m doing everything differently. The woman I shouldn’t want is going to be mine.

Author’s Note: The Dragonmaster’s Mate is a rejected mates, second chance, guardian/ward romance. There’s a ten-year age gap and a lot of crushing on a forbidden older man. This book is a standalone, but it's recommended that you read the earlier books in the series first.

He needs a royal redemption arc. She needs to keep her distance. The public wants a story, preferably a romantic one.

I called him Ledonia’s most eligible man-child in a headline. Now I’m living at his palace.

After my no-holds-barred exposé on Prince Maximilien goes viral, the royal family doesn’t banish me—they hire me. Apparently, the King and Queen think damage control looks like me filming an exclusive behind-the-scenes series on their charming, cocky, scandal-prone son.

Prince Max isn’t thrilled. In fact, he downright despises me. Which is fine. Because the feeling? Entirely mutual.

But the thing is, I didn’t expect him to be smarter, deeper, and somehow even hotter in royal pajamas. And I definitely didn’t expect to start falling for a man I’ve built a career out of publicly roasting.

There’s just one problem: He has no idea who I really am.

He may be a real-life prince, but I’m royally off-limits.

 Enemies to lovers

 Hidden identity

 Forced proximity

 One bed

 Slow burn, kissing only

And a Labrador puppy called Toffee 

Romantic, fun, and swoon worthy, Royally Off-Limits is a laugh-out-loud romp about a prince who has lost his way and a woman with a hidden past who has everything to lose. It’s The Princess Diaries for grown-ups meets The Hating Game. If you love opposites attract, forced proximity, slow burns, snarky banter, and a royal who accidentally falls hard, this one’s for you.

All the titles in the Royally Kissed series can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series.

#BookReview: Ship of Spells by @hleightondickson

Synopsis:
A war-scarred mage. A sentient ship. A secret that could drown empires. 

When Ensign Bluemage Honor Renn is rescued from the wreckage of her first naval post, she expects death or disgrace. Instead, she wakes aboard the Touchstone, a mythic vessel whispered of in dockside ballads and royal war rooms alike. With a crew of misfits. A mysterious, elven captain. And a mission tied to the Dreadwall, the crumbling barrier that has kept the Overland and Nethersea from open war for a hundred years.

But the tragedy that sank her last ship didn’t just take lives―it left something behind.

Now Renn carries a secret everyone wants. A magik that’s chimeric, arcane...and slowly killing her. But the captain’s mission may be her only chance to survive, even if he still doesn’t trust her.

Caught between privateers, princes, and spies, Renn knows each choice could sink her future―or set the sea on fire.

Ship of Spells is perfect for readers who crave the raw grit of Arya Stark, the world-building of Samantha Shannon, and the slow-burn tension of enemies who should never trust or want each other.
