Thriving Families : A Trauma-Informed Guidebook For The Foster And Adoptive
$29.99Add to cartA practical roadmap for foster and adoptive families
Caring for children is deeply important to the heart of God, and adoption and foster care are important callings that connect to God’s heart for children and families. But this road isn’t always easy. It’s important that foster and adoptive parents prepare to address their children’s history of trauma, separation, and disrupted placements, which can lead to mental health, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. It is also important to understand how this journey shapes and influences our children. We cannot ignore the deep feelings and questions that children experience as they try to understand their story. How can we help them navigate their identity, and sit with them in the unknowns of their story or the grief and loss that comes up?
?
Drawing on the latest science and research on trauma, attachment, sensory processing difficulties, cultural competence, and grief and loss, authors Josh and Jenn Hook provide a trauma-informed approach to help adoptive and foster families-and the church called to care for the vulnerable in our midst-to help their children heal, grow, and thrive. -

Case For The Christian Family
$14.95Add to cartIn the United States, the family is all but dissolved. Marriage is no longer marriage, and legally, the state could take away your children any time they wanted to. Pastor and Author Jared Longshore argues that the church’s neglect of covenantal living has led us to this pass in American society.
While invisible, saving faith in Jesus is the only way to eternal life, modern Americans have neglected the grace that God gives by binding families and churches to Him and to one another.
This means that families, the church, and nations should take responsibility for their people, and not treat them as so many marbles in a box. God has intimately connected us to one another in these bonds, the central bond being covenant.
We must retrieve this doctrine and live faithfully by it if we want to see reform in America.

Covenant Household
$14.95Add to cartFamilies are formed by covenants. But what is a covenant, and what does that mean for your family?
Throughout Scripture, God makes covenants with His people. This is not just a contract, but a personal bond in which God takes responsibility for His people, and His people respond to him in faith. This is true of our relationship with God, and it is true in the case of lesser covenants, such as the covenant family.
In this short book, Pastor Douglas Wilson shows how the family should live in the light of what the Bible says about the covenant. The husband is the head of the household, and this means that the problems of the family members are not their problems but his problems. The husband cannot just dismiss his wife’s problems as something she needs to work through by herself, and the father cannot complain when his kids get into trouble. They are his people.
This book covers everything from marriage to childrearing to cultural engagement. The family is not just a collection of individuals: it is a unit joined together by God, and we should live as though that were true, because it is.

Elige Sabiamente En El Amor – (Spanish)
$8.99Add to cartEl amor es un arte que se aprende, de manera que un noviazgo no puede nacer de un encuentro casual, porque no debe ser solo una emocion pasajera. Debe guiarnos a una amistad que podria conducirnos al matrimonio y, por lo tanto, debe verse como el fundamento de una relacion para toda la vida. En el amor no se improvisa, ni tampoco nos aventuramos a una experiencia a ciegas. El amor crece cuando nos damos el espacio necesario para conocernos. En su nuevo libro, Sixto Porras analiza el desarrollo apropiado de una relacion amorosa conducente al noviazgo y luego al matrimonio, explicando las etapas que esta relacion necesita tener, y las conductas recomendadas y no permisibles en cada etapa. La obra resulta ser una guia para evaluar nuestras posibles relaciones con objetividad, y elegir la pareja que en realidad nos conviene.
Love is an art that is learned, so that a courtship cannot be born from a casual encounter, because it should not be just a passing emotion. It should lead us to a friendship that could lead to marriage, and should therefore be seen as the foundation of a lifelong relationship. In love we do not improvise, nor do we venture into an experience blindly. Love grows when we give each other the necessary space to get to know each other. In his new book, Sixto Porras analyzes the appropriate development of a love relationship leading to dating and then marriage, explaining the stages that this relationship needs to have, and the recommended and not permissible behaviors at each stage. The work turns out to be a guide to evaluate our possible relationships objectively, and choose the partner who really suits us.

Mystery Of The Child
$30.99Add to cartMuch of today’s writing on children treats the child of any age as a problem or a set of problems to be solved, effectively reducing the child to a complex of biological and chemical factors, explainable in scientific terms, or regarding children as objects of adult control. In contrast, Martin Marty here presents the child as a mystery who invokes wonder and elicits creative responses that affect the care provided him or her.
Drawing on literature as new as contemporary poetry and as old as the Bible, The Mystery of the Child encourages the thoughtful enjoyment of children instead of the imposition of adult will and control. Indeed, Marty treats the impulse to control as a problem and highlights qualities associated with children — responsiveness, receptivity, openness to wonder — that can become sources of renewal for adults.
The Mystery of the Child represents a new tack for Martin Marty — universally respected as a historian, theologian, and interpreter of religion and culture — but displays the same incisive, erudite quality marking the fifty-plus books and thousands of articles that he has previously written. Marty’s broad, thoughtful perspective will inspire readers to think afresh about what it means to be a child — and to be a caregiver.
This book is sure to claim a wide readership — parents, grandparents, schoolteachers, theologians, historians — engaging anyone wanting to explore more fully the profound realm of the child.

If Mama Aint Happy
$17.99Add to cartAre you weary? Stressed? Depressed, anxious, and annoyed? And, to top it all off, do you feel guilty for feeling bad? Rachel Norman gets you, mama. She knows how much you love your kids. And how, day after day, you put your family’s needs first, which means your own needs come last. Or don’t come at all.
Rachel used to be a mom who spent her days weary, anxious, and guilt laden. She had five kids in five years, lived on three different continents, and then was blindsided by a devastating health diagnosis. Neglecting her own physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional needs for so long–in an effort to be a selfless mother–had left her utterly depleted. And physically unwell. Then she began asking a question she’d never considered before: Could it be that taking good care of myself is not actually selfish, but maybe, just maybe, something a responsible adult does? In this countercultural book, Rachel takes some weight off your shoulders by:
*offering hands-on, rubber-meets-the-road strategies to cultivate a life you aren’t trying to constantly escape
*teaching you to discover and claim your own limits and boundaries so you can be a calm, resilient, peaceful mother
*showing you how to shape your daily life and values around the few things that really matter, and how to let the rest go
If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. But when mama is at peace? Everyone benefits.

Everyday Prayers For The School Year
$14.99Add to cartMoms know all too well that God doesn’t promise an easy road for us–or our kids. As much as we’d love to protect them from heartaches, it just isn’t possible. This is especially true during the school year, when they are introduced to new teachers, new classmates, new concepts, and maybe even a new school that seems big and frightening.
Jesus tells us, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). With this reassurance, we try to reassure our children that no matter what, God is there and He’s on their side.
And we pray.
In Everyday Prayers for the School Year, author Tara L. Cole offers devotional readings and opportunities for mothers to pray for many issues concerning their children, such as:
*Are they making godly friends?
*Are their teachers kind and caring?
*Can they make wise choices in bad situations?
*Will they commit to studying?
*Are they being targeted by bullies?
*If they are unprepared for a test, will they trust God or cheat?No matter what our kids are facing during the school year, we can’t go wrong when we pray and teach them to pray too.
Our prayer is that they ultimately trust Him for their salvation, but even after they become Christians, they have the daily choice to trust God when they feel like they are standing alone and the circumstances look impossible.
Tara says, “My hope for this journal is that it will help moms turn their worry about their children’s school year into hope, that they take their concerns to God and walk away confident that He loves our kids more than we do. And He is in control.”

Signals : How Brain Science And The Bible Help Parents Raise Resilient Chil
$15.99Add to cartWould you like to improve the emotional intelligence of your kids? Signals offers a simple, relational approach to help you become aware of your emotions, their impact on others, and how to implement this technique in your home, school, or ministry.
While we can’t see the brain, it sends signals to us and those around us. Just as the colors of a traffic light send drivers a signal to go, slow down, or stop, our brains signal to our emotions and affect our behavior toward others.
In Signals, Cherilyn Orr introduces a common language and imagery to help everyone manage their emotions. Rooted in neuroscience and the Bible, this approach has been used around the world because its spans across all cultural contexts. Learn how to read these signals, become more aware of your emotions as well as your child’s, and understand how to respond based on the signal sent. For parents and educators, this approach is an easy-to-understand way to evaluate what’s going on with your child, mentally and emotionally, at any given moment to determine an appropriate response.
Signals is also useful for kids with special needs, including those with autism. Applying the technique can transform the relationships you have with your kids and set them on a lifelong trajectory of ever-increasing emotional intelligence.

Weve Been There
$14.97Add to cartCandid, unfiltered stories about how it feels to be a teen adoptee
The teen years are full of uncomfortable self-discovery for everyone. But adopted teens grapple with issues that make the coming of age journey immensely more difficult. Many don’t have words for what they’re feeling, sensing, or believing about themselves. They often don’t have anyone like them to help them work through their struggles. Forced to cope on their own, they end up feeling isolated.
Adoption advocate and adoptive mom Susan TeBos has watched her own children go through these struggles. Often she wished for a voice that would resonate with adopted teens–her own and others–and authentically meet them where they are.
She found not one voice, but many: over thirty adopted teens and young adults. We’ve Been There gathers their stories, giving readers a front row seat to people with similar stories and feelings.
This book is an unprecedented glimpse into the unfiltered feelings, thoughts, experiences, and unanswered questions that well up in the heart of every person with adoption in their story. From people who have been there as adopted kids, this book not only invites adopted teens to bring their concerns into the open, but also helps them process how they feel and offers them hope on the other side. In these pages, teen adoptees will understand themselves in a whole new way and find reassurance and a sense of belonging as part of a global adopted community.

Get The Girl
$15.95Add to cart“The ‘manosphere’ online is filled with a certain kind of red-pilled bitterness which, when it is coupled with evolutionary and materialistic assumptions, produces an odd mix of appalling selfishness and cynicism (and reductionism with regard to sex) coupled with common grace insights that you would never hear from an evangelical beta-preacher.” ~ from the book
Douglas Wilson writes to a young man on how he should pursue a woman. Feminism has catechized us in many lies about what makes the sexes attracted to each other, and evangelical pastors have often only reinforced those lies with platitudes about servant-leadership (heavy on the servant, light on the leadership). When they find out that being a doormat doesn’t attract anyone, young men often rebound to the secular manosphere. Douglas Wilson offers his own commonsense advice, sharp-edged and thoroughly biblical, not just on how to be the kind of man who attracts the right woman, but how to be the kind of man that keeps her.
