Moms In Prayer
$18.99

What principles enabled the concerned mom of two junior high school students to move from deciding she needed to pray for her kids at school to becoming the founder of a worldwide prayer movement called Moms In Prayer International? Fern Nichols is a passionate believer in the power of prayer. She knows that a regular habit of prayer can change things–can bring home wayward children, heal broken marriages, and provide answers to desperate situations. Prayer can also bring a new kind of peace and contentment no matter what hardships or disappointments we face. But most important, Fern knows that through prayer we can experience, firsthand, an ever-increasing intimacy with God. In Moms In Prayer, Fern Nichols reveals how she teaches women to pray in a way that changes their lives and the lives of those they love. She teaches the principles and practices that will not only revolutionize the way people think about prayer, but the way they do pray, leading them into a deeper intimacy with Jesus, who is always interceding on our behalf. Sparkling with real-life stories of God at work in the lives of praying moms, Fern introduces us to the four prayers that are the foundation of the Moms In Prayer approach to prayer:
*Praise–Praying according to the attributes of God
*Confession–Breaking strongholds
*Thanksgiving–Expressing a grateful heart
*Intercession–Standing in the gap with Jesus.

What transforms these well-known elements of prayer into such a powerful force in Moms In Prayer International? Fern Nichols introduces a way of praying that energizes, creates an appetite for intimacy with God, overcomes spiritual paralysis, eliminates fear, unveils the heart and character of God, and transforms the pray-er’s life and perspective. She teaches how to pray effectively with others, how to prepare for the spiritual battles that swirl when prayer is on the move, how to persist in prayer in the face of hopelessness and despair, and how to use Scripture for effective prayer. God hears. God acts. God moves. God works.

Parenting By The Book
$18.99

Imagine respectful, responsible, obedient children who entertain themselves without TV or video games, do their own homework, and have impeccable manners. A pie-in-the-sky fantasy? Not so, says bestselling author John Rosemond. Any parent can raise children who fit that description-happy, emotionally healthy children who honor their parents and their families with good behavior and do their best in school.

As America’s most widely read parenting and family expert, Rosemond offers practical, Bible-based, time-tested advice that will help parents be the best they can possibly be, with children of all ages. Instead of cultivating high self-esteem in your children, Rosemond recommends, instilling self-respect, which comes from teaching them the Three R’s: Respect for others, a willingness to accept Responsibility, and a Resourceful attitude toward the challenges of life.

Educational, informative, and humorous, Parenting by the Book promises to become the standard for church family education programs, as well as a primary reference for parents. Says Glenn Stanton, director of Global Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family and author of My Crazy Imperfect Christian Family, “John Rosemond does all parents a huge service by skillfully illuminating the timeless wisdom of Scripture that has served generations in raising healthy, happy, obedient human beings….Parenting by the Book could start a parenting revolution, and I pray it does for the sake of our children.”

Power Of A Parents Blessing
$15.99

There are seven critical times in life at which God intends for every person to receive a powerful impartation from Him of identity and destiny. In the first six God uses parents, and in the seventh He uses adult children to impart blessing back to their parents.

The primary connotation of the Hebrew word baruch, “to bless,” is “to empower to prosper.” Thus, parents who bless their child at these six critical times literally empower the child to prosper, while parents who, through lack of knowledge, fail to bless-or actually curse-may spiritually and emotionally cripple the child.
Craig Hill answers key questions for each critical time in a child’s life, including:

* What is the key identity and destiny question to be answered in the heart of the child?
* When is the appropriate time to bless?
* What are potential consequences of not blessing?
* What is the role of each parent in blessing at this specific time?
* What are practical tools to use in blessing?

Blessing is a custom established by God and meant to function in every family. The Power of a Parent’s Blessing gives readers the practical tools by which they can experience the transformational blessings of God for themselves and their families.

Should I Get My Baby Baptized
$18.11

Should I get my baby baptized? Is christening a baby the right thing to do? If you are asking these questions, it shows that you have a genuine concern for your child’s future-a future that will be in serious jeopardy if you as a parent are not careful to make wise decisions on your child’s behalf. The fact is, infant baptism is only the first in a long line of critical choices that you will have to make in the foreseeable future. These decisions will determine what kind of person this little baby you are holding in your arms will ultimately become, as well as their eternal destiny. Having a child makes you a parent, and parents-in God’s eyes-are responsible for training their child in the teachings of the Lord. This book first helps you understand God’s teaching on the subject of baptism, and then moves on from there to share proven Christian child raising techniques that will help you raise a child that will bring you joy as a parent.

Signature In Jet Age Parenting
$20.61

The author, Jane Nwaogu, is a Nigerian, of Igbo decent, a mother, a teacher and a healthcare worker. She was born and raised by Christian parents in an ambiance of love and peace, with strong faith in God and respect to humanity. She learned cultural, moral and ethical values through the parents’ practical examples, teaching, support and direction. As a mother, she raised her children in the Igbo traditional environment and in multicultural cities. The author was also a classroom teacher and a high school principal. She communicated directly with children in the classroom and indirectly through their parents and guardians; offered academic counseling services to many children. The practical experiences with the children at home, in the classroom and during extra-curricula children’s activities, and during healthcare services to children gave her the opportunity to appreciate the clean and innocent nature of children. The inputs the internal and the external environmental factors offer to children directly and indirectly impact their lives, their thoughts and their actions. As a healthcare worker, the author took care of the rich, the poor and the middle class patients. She worked in multicultural environments, experienced families in their homes, their natural settings, worked in the hospitals, nursing homes mainly for the elderly, in group homes for the physically and the mentally challenged and also worked in patients private homes. The author had interacted with many families through work experiences as a teacher, a healthcare worker and as a mother, and has read parenting books written by researchers and authors. Media messages and the daily observed attitudes of some parents and children equally offer a wealth of experiences. And, from all these experiences, she noted troubling current trends in many families in the areas of divorce, single parenting, having multiple sex partners, teen pregnancy, child abuse, neglect and abandonment, and drug and alcohol use both by adults and minors. For families and parents to keep their strong holds, and for children to benefit from parenting, parents and care givers must have ‘eyes that see ‘ and ‘ears that hear’; they must be humble so that families will not stumble.

Love No Matter What
$18.99

How will you respond when your child makes a decision you don’t agree with?

Parents and kids will never agree on everything but what can mom and dad do when that decision – whether a matter of preference, spirituality, or morality – is something they think is totally wrong? Author and speaker Brenda Garrison knows all too well that how parents respond will either build a wall or a bridge between them and their child.

Brenda and her husband were forced to answer this question when their oldest daughter Katie abruptly moved out of the house with no means of support. It was not an illegal or immoral decision, but it was one that wasn’t good for her. Their determination to keep an open door of communication is documented not only by their story, but by comments from Katie in each chapter as she offers insights from her own perspective.

Also included are other family scenarios – everything from matters of preference to foolish, immoral, and even illegal decisions – as well as insights into different styles of parenting such as servant, checked-out, gotcha, scared, and controlling parents.

With practical tips and relatable stories, Brenda shares how to model God’s parenting style and explains the difference between the parent’s responsibilities and the child’s, then helps mom and dad discover ways to develop and nurture a relationship with their child that will last a lifetime.

Additional Info
Daddy, I’d like you to meet my children. That’s Robbie Castleman’s attitude about taking her children to church. She believes that Sunday morning isn’t a success if she has only managed to keep the kids quiet. And she knows there’s more to church for kids than trying out their new coloring books. Children are at church for the same reason as their parents: for the privilege of worshiping God. Worship, Castleman writes, is “the most important thing you can ever train your child to do.” So with infectious passion, nitty-gritty advice and a touch of humor, she shows you how to help your children (from toddlers to teenagers) enter into worship. In this significantly revised and updated third edition Castleman includes a new preface and two new appendices that provide new perspectives on children’s sermon and intergenerational community. She also provides a study guide for personal reflection or group discussion. More than ever, Parenting in the Pew is essential reading for parents and worship leaders who want to help children make joyful noises unto the Lord.

Nonprescription Drugs In Pregnancy
$19.95

A Smart Start Press Title

Many women of child-bearing age buy over-the-counter medications for a variety of disorders, such as seasonal allergies, colds, headaches, and others. Whether planning their pregnancy or already pregnant, they want to know if these nonprescription drugs are safe for unborn babies. All nonprescription drugs contain one or more active ingredients that treat the patient’s symptoms and are actually drugs themselves. Twenty to thirty years ago, many of these active ingredients were FDA-approved prescription drugs. At the time, those prescription drugs were assigned a Pregnancy Risk Category: A, B, C, D, or X. Although some of these drugs switched from prescription to nonprescription status, meaning they could be sold over-the-counter, their Pregnancy Risk Categories still applied. This unique book contains the FDA’s Pregnancy Risk Categories for the active ingredients in five hundred nonprescription drugs, and includes a procedure for locating risk categories for any drug that isn’t in the book.

Cleaning House : A Moms 12 Month Experiment To Rid Her Home Of Youth Entitl
$18.00

A self-described “enabling mother” embarks on a one-year experiment of empowering her five kids to master the basic tasks of independence, gaining valuable insights for every parent who wants to rid their home of youth entitlement.

Today’s well-intentioned parents go to great lengths to make their children’s lives easier. But instead of leading to happy kids, such hovering instills dependency and helplessness. When parents arrange for a child’s success, the resulting message is, “I’ll do it for you because you can’t.” But as author Kay Wills Wyma discovered, what kids really need to hear is, “I believe in you so I’m going to make you work.” For one year she focused on training her children in key life skills, beginning with making their own beds right on through yard work, hospitality, and community service. In this book she shares her experiences along with practical tips and wisdom from other parents and experts.

No Easy Choice
$24.00

In No Easy Choice, Ellen Painter Dollar tells her gut-wrenching story of living with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)-a disabling genetic bone disorder that was passed down to her first child-and deciding whether to conceive a second child who would not have OI using assisted reproduction. Her story brings to light the ethical dilemmas surrounding advanced reproductive technologies. What do procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) say about how we define human worth? If we avoid such procedures, are we permitting the suffering of our children? How do we identify a “good life” in a consumer society that values appearance, success, health, and perfection?

Dollar considers multiple sides of the debate, refusing to accept the matter as simply black and white. Her book will help parents who want to understand and make good decisions about assisted reproduction, as well as those who support and counsel them, including pastors and medical professionals.

Wrestling With An Angel
$9.99

It sounded at first like something out of an old horror movie. I thought maybe someone was just playing around, but then I heard it again and again, a loud piercing cry, and less like Hollywood every time. The windows were down in my police cruiser on that warm fall day, but I still couldn’t tell where the sounds came from. I began looking around for the unlikely sight of someone being disemboweled in a mall parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. Seeing nothing, and still hearing the screams, I called in a “disturbance.’ Around the next corner I found the source of the commotion. So begins Greg Lucas’ captivating account of life as a husband, a police officer, and Jake’s dad. Jake Lucas, the first of four children, lives with severe physical and mental challenges. Caring for him each day is an ordeal few of us can imagine, and this story of Jake’s first 17 years is not one you will soon forget. But the remarkable thing is how the whole narrative is saturated with wonder at the grace and goodness of God, who brings hope and promise through his Son into the darkest of circumstances. In this book, we see that Jake’s problems are our problems, only bigger, and the challenges of caring for him carry profound lessons about God’s care for us. Wrestling with an Angel is about tragedy and laughter and pain and joy. It is about faith and grace and endurance and God’s unfailing, loving wisdom daily being worked out in each of our lives, whatever the nature or extent of our difficulties. Here is a book that may explain faith to you in ways you never quite grasped, through a life few of us can relate to. When it is all done, we come away better able to live as Christ calls us to live.

If we read the headlines and listen to the news it will reveal the violence and turmoil happening all over America and the world. The Lord has been speaking to me for a long time about this subject. Even before the 9/11 terrorist attack He was telling me to write a book on raising children. Who am I? Could I write a book? There is a scripture that comes to my mind for this fear!

Why Is Collin Like That
$32.48

My story begins with a very unhappy baby boy, screaming day and night. My son, Collin, was diagnosed with PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder), under the Autistic spectrum, by the age of two. As Collin grew, the unmasking of his disorders did also. PDD, ADHD and OCD were among them. So began my new career as “doctor” stay at home mom.

I remember a seminar I attended a couple years ago with my mother. Questions from concerned parents swarmed the room like bees around a disturbed hive. The presenter addressed everyone patiently. He calmly said, “Listen, most importantly, you are looking for very peculiar behaviors.” My mother turned to me and said with a sigh of relief, “Well, thank God Collin doesn’t have any of those.” I looked at her so strange and replied, “Yeah, mom, you’re right. His sucking on batteries, throwing away silverware, keeping the spoons under his mattress and licking his hands while “grooming” his face is certainly not peculiar. I think we are safe…” We burst out laughing.

My daughter, Karlie, is a beautiful and loving little girl. Unfortunately, it took me a few years to discover how much she had taken on emotionally being the “big sister”. As parents, we do not always recognize just how much children are affected when it comes to having a sibling with a disability. Just the simple task of watching television together can be so hard for them. As parents, we need to raise awareness on the affects our “non-disabled” children deal with every day. Many prayerful nights have been spent attempting to communicate these issues to others. Prayerfully, this book will help you and His children. God hears you…and I HEAR YOU!
