Mad About Us
$23.99Add to cartLEARN TO LOVE YOUR MARRIAGE AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE YOUR SPOUSE. Many couples try to love each other only to be trapped by the marriage itself.

A best friend is hurt badly . . . . A grandparent dies . . .
It’s Okay to Cry.
Look through the eyes of a child again. When something unexpected, disappointing, or traumatic occurs, children feel a very real sense of loss. They may respond with fear or with anger. Most likely they are confused. They have questions they want answered. They need help from their parents or others who care to understand and process their grief.
It’s Okay to Cry offers practical help for parents. It explains the symptoms of loss and unresolved grief so that parents can recognize them and walk alongside their children on the path to recovery.
Well-known and respected author H. Norman Wright speaks to parents with sympathy and reassurance. He recognizes that most parents don’t know how to teach their children to process loss, because often they weren’t taught themselves. His sage advice will give you and your child the comfort and hope you seek.

How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team
$19.99Add to cart“It’s not what you think that will impact your child; it’s what you communicate.” What are you telling your kids? Are you telling them that their crises are trivial and their ideas are foolish? Probably not in so many words, but you may be communicating just that with your lack of interest in the day-to-day activities of your child. To keep your children on your team, Charles Stanley asserts, you must assure them from the start that you are on theirs. Focusing on the parental role as one of stewardship rather than ownership, Stanley instructs parents on how to ingrain a sense of personal accountability to God into the minds of children at an early age. By doing so, parents can raise confident, self-controlled kids who will hold fast to the values they instill.

When Homosexuality Invades The Family
$15.49Add to cartBiblical Guidelines for Parents, Counselors, and Daughters With the ever increasing visibility of the homosexual movement, the various views of what causes homosexuality, and the question as to whether a homosexual can change, Christian parents are often left bewildered when they discover their daughter has become involved in this lifestyle. The changes that occur in the relationship between the parents and their daughter are numerous, the heartbreak they experience is severe, and how best to deal with both is confusing. This book puts forth several responses parents exhibit, and it distinguishes between those that are destructive and those that are constructive to both themselves and their daughter. Practical ways parents can deal with awkward situations and discouragement are also addressed. The sovereignty of God and the sufficiency of Scripture are the foundation from which all help comes during these difficult times.
