Love Me Never Leave Me
$14.99Add to cartCaught off guard, surprised by their own reactions, emotions bubble up that women fight to smother. Where did that come from? What can I do with this feeling that won’t go away? Why do I feel and act this way?
Counselor Marilyn Meberg has been there too. When she got pregnant, she got scared. When her baby girl died, she got angry. When her husband died, she battled loneliness and sorrow. In between the peaks and valleys, Marilyn began to see a pattern that led to a greater understanding of herself and a richer happiness in life.
She says, “We crave connection with the ones we love most, and when our bond with them is broken, damaged, or threatened, we fear being left. We fear abandonment.
“Love Me, Never Leave Me” tells you that desiring a love that never leaves is natural, that there are ways to turn feelings of being abandoned into experiences of emotional abundance, and to know that you are God’s beloved child-and he will never leave you or forsake you.

Why The 10 Commandments Matter
$19.99Add to cartDr. D. James Kennedy believes many of the social ills that plague America today-from an exponentially rising divorce rate to the violence in our schools-stem from society’s ever-increasing distance from the Ten Commandments.
In each case, obeying one or another of these ancient rules would have prevented the tragedies. And Christians, Kennedy declares, are no exception. “Sin is not only destroying individual lives and individual health, it is mercilessly bludgeoning the family in America.” Kennedy explains, “Repentance from sin is the condition on which God will hear our prayers and heal our land. How tragic that we Christians seem to have ignored that part . . . that repentance is so desperately needed today in the Church as it kneels to pray for the repentance of the nation!”
Dr. Kennedy looks at the Ten Commandments and shows how they are, in fact, a prescription for a happier life-and a guide for a safe and productive society.
