Awesome!
Passport to Purity is awesome. I have 3 daughters and have had the opportunity to do this with 2 of them so far.. You should make this a priority in your family. My girls and I had a great time and Dennis and Barbara Rainey took the pressure off me because they explained "it" to them. There was lots of laughing and some blushing going on this weekend but it was an awesome time to share what my ...

Hit by a Ton of Bricks (Family Issues)2 reviews
John Vawter
Family Life Publishing, 2003
Practical, Encouraging, Inspiring
I've seen so many Christian couples struggling with prodigal children. This book is a compilation of honest, gritty stories of love, hope and healing by those who've walked this heartbreaking walk. The transparent accounts are written by well-known leaders who were very nearly derailed by losing a child to drugs. Besides those families touched by the drug epidemic, this book seems to indirectly ...

Interviewing Your Daughter's Date
I wish this book had been around when my 2 daughters began dating. Unfortunately, it wasn't but now that it is available I bought so I could give it to my daughter who now has 2 beautiful daughters of her own. It will be helpful to her and her husband in dealing with the dating issue when it arrives. Dennis Rainey and his wife Barbara have both written books that are very helpful with lifes ...

What God Has Always Wanted: The Bible's Big Idea from Genesis Through Revelation7 reviews
Charles F. Boyd
Family Life Publishing, 2006
A different kind of Bible book for kids
In Postmodern Children's Ministry, Ivy Beckwith writes of the danger of reducing the Bible to "doctrinal tenets, moral absolutes, tips for better living, or stories of heroes to be emulated." Instead of using the Bible to "teach children moral lessons...we need the Bible to introduce children to God, God's story, and God's ways."
That's why I was excited to discover Charles F. Boyd's book, ...

Brent Sapp
Family Life Publishing, 2000
Curriculum for Manhood in a Cool Sci-Fi Novel
This book is more than an engaging science fiction novel: it's a way of having some heart-to-heart discussions with your son about critical issues like honor, overcoming anger and fear, respect of women, and life purpose. Along with the two accompanying guides, you have a ready-made three to six month curriculum for manhood disguised as something cool. I'm going through it with my twelve year ...

Resurrection Eggs8 reviews
Familylife
Family Life Publishing, 2006
Wonderful Christian teaching tool for children
I purchased the Resurrection Eggs after reading a review about them on a friend's blog. They are a great tool for teaching children about Easter and its true meaning. The eggs contain small props that help you explain the story of Easter from Christ's crucifixion to His resurrection.
The story booklet enclosed is a nice guideline for younger children and can be read for old children (the ...

Thank God for humor
What a great gift this would be to give to someone. A lighthearted and humorous devotional. Easy to read and a series of stories that every woman can relate to. I especially liked the journals after each chapter.

Barbara & Susan's Guide to the Empty Nest: Discovering New Purpose, Passion & Your Next Great Adventure4 reviews
Barbara Rainey, Susan Yates
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 ...

Launching an Orphans Ministry in Your Church with DVD1 review
Jason Weber, Paul Pennington
Family Life Publishing, 2007
Heart moving and powerful
This small book is a phenominal reference book to get your orphan program started in your church. The included CD was very moving and is geared for the pastor and church leadership to get them on board. It leaves some out some details and is somewhat open ended, but every church will need to choose its own direction, ie, international adoption, domestic adoption, foster care, etc. My husband and ...

Poofin: The Cloud That Cried on Christmas1 review
Richard M. Wainwright
Family Life Publishing, 1989
Bound to become a family tradition
This is a delightful book, one that has become a traditional read for our family at Christmastime. It is a refreshing change from many of the available seasonal books, and involves a cloud who visits a young boy just before Christmas, in a town where snow has not fallen for many years. Poofin, a young and somewhat rambunctious cloud, teaches and learns much from his young friend. Before it is ...

Moments Together for Intimacy: Devotions for Drawing Near to God and One Another1 review
Dennis Rainey, Barbara Rainey
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 ...

ThanksLiving Treasures Box
I think that this is a great way to teach children thankfulness. It's fun and interesting for everyone in the whole family. Children like to hold the pieces while you tell them about the pilgrims and the Mayflower. The paintings are great visuals too. I enjoy them just as much as my little girl.

Richard M Wainwright
Family Life Publishing, 2001
One Man's Spiritual Journey Beautifully Written and Illustrated
Richard M. Wainwright shares his spiritual journey by sharing his most personal thoughts, feelings and experiences after his wife, D'Ann makes her transition from this world. He details his readings with George Anderson, perhaps the greatest living medium in the world today. This book is worth your time and money and will make you think.

Simply Romantic Secrets1 review
C J & Carolyn Mahaney Dennis & Barbara Rainey
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.

Ultimate Christmas Party1 review

Great Party
What a great party we had. We made 1 cookie of each cookie cutter for each child to make. We read the story. The kids were on the edge of their seats the whole time we read the story. After that each child was able to eat 1 cookie and take the other 5 home. Everyone had a blast. I think next time we will do a scavanger hunt like the recommend. The whole party the way I did it only took ...
