Please, please read
I have heard about this book way before we planned on starting a family. When I was pregnant I heard a broadcast on our local Christian radio station, and again felt God wanted me to read this when the time came. That time came during the summer of 2008. My oldest is 12. I went over the CD/book a few days before alone. I told my daughter that in a few days we were going to talk about things that ...

Food For Thought
As a busy Mom with 6 young children I do not have a lot of time for leisure reading. The size of this book is perfect for me! It fits in my purse so I can quickly pick it up between dropping off and picking up the kids from extracurricular activities. I am always looking for small pieces of "food for thought" to ponder thoughout the day. Deepening our family's bond spiritually is a goal for me ...

Great 30 day coupleýs prayer experiment
The introduction states, "Praying together may be the single most important spiritual discipline you and your spouse will ever share." A strong claim, but I fully agree and this book is a great way to start or develop that powerful discipline of prayer together. The book has 30 brief daily readings, and each reading also includes a question or activity for reflection and a sample prayer or ...

Share this book with your kids!
This book is a tradition for our family -- our kids eagerly anticipate getting it out of the "Easter" box every spring. The illustrations are very beautiful yet very kid-friendly -- I *loved* the fact that they show children who (despite their era-appropriate clothing) look like any child you'll see today riding down the street on a skateboard. Also, Jesus has dark hair -- the illustrator ...

a touching tribute to mothers
A Mother's Legacy is a wonderful tribute to the life-changing effect that mothers have on their children. It will inspire mothers and mothers-to-be to leave a legacy of love and faith in their children's lives. The writing is excellent and the stories are heartwarming. I highly recommend this book. It makes a great gift for Mother's Day or a new mother.

Barbara & Susan's Guide to the Empty Nest: Discovering New Purpose, Passion & Your Next Great Adventure

Family Life Publishing, 2008

Encouraging!
I love the way Barbara and Susan are upbeat and encouraging. Even when they talk about the downside (and they do talk about the downside) of the empty nest years, they do so with an attitude of hope and encouragment. Especially helpful are the suggestions on finding out who you are once you separate your identity from your children's and then discovering what to do with yourself in a meaningful ...

Moments Together for Intimacy: Devotions for Drawing Near to God and One Another

Family Life Publishing, 2003

Good starter devotional for couples
I wanted begin daily couples' devotionals with my spouse, but didn't think a year-long book would be the best one to start with. We both agreed that this thin, thirty day book would be fine. It takes about 5-10 minutes to do each lesson, which is only two pages long. Each lesson has a short story or life lesson, a question to ask your spouse (ex: Why did you get married?) and something to pray ...

Parenting Today's Adolescent Helping Your Child Avoid The Traps Of The Pre-teen And Early Teen Years

Thomas Nelson, 1998

Indispensible Resource
If ANYONE ever felt the need for a parenting "How-To", this is it!! Not for the faint of heart though - as it pulls no punches and advocates a tell-all approach to upcoming obstacles and pitfalls in a teen's life vs. leaving up to chance or peer-information or just plain ignorance. Taboo topics such as masturbation are addressed with exact advice and timing suggested. The philosophy is "Don't ...

The authors give great encouragement, and some wonderful principles that help you develop and grow a marriage that will go the distance. The chapter's on your families core values and sabbath rest ...

It really works
I thought this kit would be cheesy, which is why it took me months after receiving it as a gift to actually plan a date, and open the cards. I think it cheesy no more, because it works! If you need a kick in the romance of your marriage, give it a try.

Festive Gem
This gorgeous book is the perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving and learn it's miraculous story. Barbara Rainey, a renown Christian writer, puts together a book of many parts that will appeal to people of all ages. The main large text deals with the details of the Pilgrim's journey, but there are also sub-sections that mention the origin of fasting, the relationship between the Indians and the ...

One of the Best
Different people require different messages. I coach a lot of young couples before marriage and in the early stages of marriage, and this is one of the books I recommend often. Although it's not for everyone, if you're serious about having the kind of marriage God wants you to have (and since He designed marriage, He probably knows best), then STARTING YOUR MARRIAGE RIGHT by Dennis Rainey (no ...

Family Life Publishing, 2003

A true help for any couple
This kit was truly helpful. It contains a book and several sealed cards for "date nights". The book is a guide to renewing intimacy in a marriage (not to be confused with sex)and I found it to be insightful, direct, and real. The dates were simple and had far more impact than anticipated. I discovered a stronger relationship with my spouse and we communicate on a much better level.

The conversation is started as the Rainey's expound on a Scripture verse. Then they give the couple some discussion questions.

Two Hearts are Better than One
My husband and I have been married for 20 years and like many, fell into the day to day rut. I bought this book thinking there is no way he will fill his pages out, but he does! We find a quiet place and pick one random page. He writes in the book and I write on a separate sheet of paper (afterwards, I write my thoughts in the book) then we talk about the response. Most important rule is BE ...
