Journey Together : Turn Your Marriage Into The Adventure Of A Lifetime
$16.99Are you getting the most out of your marriage?
A fulfilling and happy marriage that lasts a lifetime is possible-but how can you have it for yourself? If you’ve grown apart, how do you rediscover intimacy and connectedness together? If your relationship is healthy now, how can you make sure your love stays in bloom?
Dr. David Hawkins has worked for more than 40 years as a licensed marriage counselor, and he’s witnessed firsthand that the strongest relationships start with both spouses striving to create habits of empathy and attentiveness. Romances that endure time are built not only on love, but on both partner’s unhesitating decision to appreciate the other.
In Journey Together, Dr. Hawkins shares how you and your spouse can learn to…
*Take time to listen to each other and receive feedback with a happy heart
*Champion emotional maturity and clear communication in your relationship
*Seek win/win solutions to conflicts rather than treating your partner as an adversaryNo matter what season your marriage is in, Journey Together will give you the tools needed to cultivate deep affection and lasting closeness with your partner.

Road To Love And Laughter
$18.99ANYONE can look like they have it all together in a 3-minute edited video clip.
But like they’ve shared in their popular YouTube videos, Kristin and Danny have weathered more than their hilarious lip-sync mashups might lead you to think. While they wholeheartedly believe their motto “laughter is the best medicine,” behind the scenes Kristin and Danny live a much different life than what you see onscreen.
Through honest and vulnerable stories recounting all the embarrassing details–like falling down on national television at an American Idol audition (Kristin), and facing the threat of murder after having a “man-to-man” talk with his future father-in-law (Danny)–the Adamses show that often the terrible experiences we fear are actually the beginning of greatness.
Life is going to take you for twists and turns. You will hit potholes and bumper-to-bumper traffic, detours, construction zones and . . . you get it. But with the Adamses as your fearless–or almost fearless–guides, you’ll gain the roadmap that has kept them from turning the car around or driving off a cliff.
So keep going, keep laughing, and turn up the music!

Chasing Love : Sex, Love, And Relationships In A Confused Culture
$17.99The music we listen to, the movies we watch-they’re all telling us to keep chasing love, and that we’ll finally be happy when we find it.
But is love really all we need?
The love that the world tells us to pursue is all about self, about following your heart’s desires. But what is the Christian worldview on love? When we follow Jesus, we realize that he invites us to reorient the focus of our lives, so instead of chasing love primarily for our own happiness, we are first and foremost to give love-to God and to others.
In Chasing Love, Sean McDowell will invite readers into Jesus’ radical, upside-down approach to love, and in doing so, he’ll answer some of the toughest questions we’re asking about love today:
*How does Jesus speak to singleness?
*What does the gospel say about LGBTQ issues?
*Can sexual sin truly be forgiven?
*What if I’m not happy in my marriage?Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Filled with helpful illustrations, this thorough and practical book will empower you and your spouse to dream, decide, and do as you step hand-in-hand into God’s ultimate purpose for your marriage.
Your oneness is also meant for witness. God has purposed your remarkable, romantic, and redemptive relationship to be a powerful light to a dark and hurting world. This is your invitation to marriage as God intended–a life-saving, hope-inspiring, and transforming force of God’s love.

I Still Do Devotional
$15.99Durable marriages are built on our responses to defining moments–those experiences, events, and decisions that determine (and sometimes alter) our whole direction. But not all of those moments are going to be big.

This 31-day devotional is designed to help you and your spouse prepare for those moments. Grounded in Scripture, each devotion includes a brief point of reflection, along with an application or a prayer designed to show you how to meet Jesus in every moment of your marriage, no matter how long you’ve been married.

Godmothers : Why You Need One. How To Be One.
$23.99There is a role unique to women that we abandon easily. We live near each other, but not with each other–and not for each other. We don’t want to intrude or judge and, maybe, we don’t want to see each other truly succeed. And the world is happy with this unhappy state for women–one that pushes us to conform to a pattern of distrust, disengagement, and competition. It’s no wonder we’ve lost ourselves, and our way.
In her most personal, powerful book yet, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere offers a catalytic, transformative vision for women of a different way to live–one that embraces the presence of a godmother–the older, wiser women you can go to and learn from, the strong women who partner with us through life. And everyone needs one! Drawing from her own life, biblical women, and the world of fairy tales, Lisa will show you how to transform what you have into what God wants you to have, push you forward during seasons of doubt, and love you enough to speak truth about God’s larger, expansive view of your life. Lisa’s candid, compassionate words are your best first step to living as a daughter of God, surrounded by strong relationships and confidence in your calling.

Love Her Well
$19.99Moms are eager for tips and wisdom to help them build strong relationships with their daughters, and Kari Kampakis’s Love Her Well gives them ten practical ways to do so, not by changing their daughters but by changing their own thoughts, actions, and mind-set.
For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true. Yet as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to gloom and doom as moms are told, “Just wait until she’s a teenager!” and handed a disheartening script that treats a teenage girl’s final years at home as solely a season to survive.
Author and blogger Kari Kampakis suggests it’s time to change the narrative and mind-set that lead moms to parent teen girls with a spirit of defeat, not strength. By improving the foundation, habits, and dynamics of the relationship, mothers can connect with their teen daughters and earn a voice in their lives that allows moms to offer guidance, love, wisdom, and emotional support.
As a mom of four daughters (three of whom are teenagers), Kari has learned the hard way that as girls grow up, mothers must grow up too. In Love Her Well, Kari shares ten ways that moms can better connect with their daughters in a challenging season, including:
*choosing their words and timing carefully,
*listening and empathizing with her teen’s world,
*seeing the good and loving her for who she is,
*taking care of themselves and having a support system, and more.This book isn’t a guide to help mothers “fix” their daughters or make them behave. Rather, it’s about a mom’s journey, doing the heart work and legwork necessary to love a teenager while still being a strong, steady parent. Kari explores how every relationship consists of two imperfect sinners, and teenagers gain more respect for their parents when they admit (and learn from) their mistakes, apologize, listen, give grace, and try to understand their teens’ point of view. Yes, teenagers need rules and consequences, but without a connected relationship, parents may never gain a significant voice in their lives or be a safe place they long to return to.
By admitting her personal failures and prideful mistakes that have hurt her relationships with her teenage daughters, Kari gives mothers hope and reminds them all things are possible through God. By leaning on him, mothers gain the wisdom, guidance, protection, and clarity they need to grow strong relationships with their daughters at every age, especially during the critical teen years.

Awaking Wonder Experience
$15.29As a parent, you want to send your children into the world with healthy minds and vibrant faith. You want to develop a strong foundation for them. But in our fast-paced, outcome-based, technologically driven society, it’s easy to lose sight of the innocence, potential, and uniqueness of each child.

6 Hidden Behaviors That Destroy Families
$16.99Families are complicated. There is no such thing as a perfect family…or an easy family. We all make mistakes that hurt or disappoint our family members, and we’ve all been hurt or disappointed by those we love. Within our human makeup is a deep and basic need for healthy family relationships. Family was designed to provide us with love, a feeling of belonging, a shared history, traditions, comfort, affection, quality time, feedback, learning, and a safety net. When our family fails to provide for these needs, we feel a deep sense of loss. 6 Hidden Behaviors That Destroy Families by Dr. Magdalena Battles addresses the top conflicts in extended families that cause relationships to become strained, disjointed, or broken. These hidden behaviors are: criticism, gossip, lack of inclusion, deception, refusing to accept differences, and a failure to apologize and forgive. Dr. Battles provides practical tips and solutions based on research, biblical principles, and her own observations of what has worked in families. Most families have some dysfunction, causing pain, damage, and division. While every family has problems, what really matters is how we deal with those issues. Are we working in a way that heals and resolves problems, or are we allowing them to fester, divide, and explode, causing tremendous damage to our relationships? Families are always in a state of change, and they are a work in progress. But they can function in a way where love, support, belonging, and kindness are exemplified and practiced. Doing nothing about our family conflicts often contributes to the problems. The healing in your family can begin with you. To have a family that is loving and supportive, you need to be part of the solutions and healing. You just have to take those first steps! It is a process, but the result will be happier lives and more fulfilling relationships.
