Courage To Be Imperfect
$18.99

It’s time to stop trying to perfect your life and start enjoying it:

-reframe your overachiever mindset
-release yourself from overwhelming expectations
-build confidence and courage to embrace an imperfect life

Imagine a life where you’re not afraid to make a mistake. A life where you don’t link your worth to what you’ve achieved, you don’t feel like you’re drowning, and you never hear that voice in your head telling you you’re not good enough.

No one gets more advice thrust upon them than women. Overwhelmed with information, opinions, and expectations, we are weighed down with guilt, exhaustion, and the belief that we aren’t good enough . . . yet. So we keep trying to fix stuff–our bodies, our parenting, our homes. But fixing things isn’t the answer. What we need is a paradigm shift, one where we stop trying to get our act together and start living boldly imperfect lives.

Sharing her own story of faltering under the crushing expectations of the world when she found herself pregnant at age sixteen, Elizabeth Danks Robbins turns the very idea of “perfect” on its head. Instead, she shows you how to stop fearing the opinions and criticism of others in favor of creating a life you actually enjoy. You’ll learn to:

-reframe your mindset
-embrace who you are now
-trade perfection for peace

Release yourself from the pressure to prove yourself to the world. Because, as it turns out, you’re not a perfect woman. You’re a real one.

Cradled In Hope
$19.99

A mother’s heart is shattered and forever changed when she loses a precious baby. Overwhelmed by sadness, she feels abandoned by God, questions his goodness, and wonders how she will move forward in life while in such deep pain. Ashley Opliger, founder of Bridget’s Cradles, wrestled with these same things when her daughter, Bridget, was born into heaven at twenty-four weeks. Amid her anguish, she found faith in God to not only heal her heart, but to change her life–and the lives of others.

Here she creates a safe place for grieving moms to cry, ask why, and bring their sadness, anger, bitterness, loneliness, shame, and hopelessness to one who can hold it all–Jesus. She gently guides heartbroken moms on a journey to trust him to heal their hearts, restore their joy, and use their grief for good. But most importantly, she reminds them that no matter where they are on their grief journey, God promises to give them a hope-filled future, both on earth and in heaven with their babies for all of eternity.

Homeschooling : You’re Doing It Right Just By Doing It
$24.99

Be encouraged! You’re already “doing it right” just by doing it.

– a must-have resource for parents who homeschool or who want to start
– from the founder of the 1000 Hours Outside Movement
– equips parents with the confidence and tools they need to give their children the education they dream of and deserve

During the past five years, homeschooling rates have been on the rise and show no signs of slowing. But many parents lack confidence, questioning whether they are doing it right (or whether they should take the plunge at all). With so many voices offering conflicting advice, it’s hard to know where to start and where to go from there.

A homeschooling mother of five and founder of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich draws from her years of experience and research, as well as her master’s degree in education from the University of Michigan, to encourage and equip parents who want to give homeschooling a try or want to improve their experience.

Starting from the standpoint of “you’re doing it right” instead of “you’re doing it wrong,” Ginny helps parents understand that just by choosing to homeschool they are:

– learning through living
– allowing for individual timelines
– leaving space for boredom
– providing multiage experiences
– teaching self-reliance
– offering freedom
– slowing down
– and more

If you’ve been on the fence about homeschooling or wondering if you’re doing it all wrong, let Ginny encourage you in all you’ve already accomplished and equip you for even greater things ahead.

Raising Disciples At Home
$19.99

Discipleship Without All the Pressure

If discipling your children sounds like a daunting, shame-filled impossibility, you’re not alone. As a children’s pastor and father of four, Chris Ammen has experienced your frustration firsthand and understands that most parents feel inadequate for the task. But what if our inadequacy isn’t a failure, but is just the place from which God chooses to work?

In his debut book, Chris celebrates the freedom we have to disciple our children from a place of weakness and dependency on God while uncovering these key truths . . .

Truth #1: You are not the lynchpin of your child’s journey of discipleship. God is.

Truth #2: Discipleship is nothing less than God molding and shaping the entirety of our personhood into his image as those who delight in him and bring him glory.

Truth #3: You’re not qualified to disciple your children. But God is. And he can work through you to move your children closer to becoming more like his son, Jesus.
Let’s explore together what discipleship is and isn’t and what we can do to partner with God in loving and discipling our kids.

Better Share : How Couples Can Tackle The Mental Load For More Fun, Less Re
$29.99

Transform your marriage and enjoy your spouse again when you share the mental load and end the cycle of stress and resentment.

Relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip helps couples view the mental load–the endless and mostly invisible work of managing a household and family–as a shared enemy to conquer versus a problem they have with each other, offering practical solutions for navigating the most common pain points couples struggle with.

Usually a few years after “I do”–once the reality of family life hits–many couples find themselves at each other’s throats because they don’t know how to navigate the mental and emotional work of managing a household together. They worry that they’ll always be fighting about who should do the dishes or pick up the balloons for the party, but don’t know how to begin talking about their frustrations without pointing fingers.

In A Better Share, Dr. Morgan Cutlip offers you practical advice that goes beyond getting your spouse to pick up the slack and focuses on the unique perspectives and experiences of each partner, enabling both of you to feel seen and heard. She helps you leave behind resentment and anxiety and begin to:

*Understand why the mental load primarily falls on women and how it impacts sexual desire
*Share perspectives, expectations, ownership, and accountability
*Use actionable plans for divvying up tasks and teaching the next generation how to share the mental load

Through research and stories based on real couples, A Better Share guides you out of the endless stress and resentment cycle and into a relationship where sharing is caring, having fun together is a priority, and great sex isn’t a thing of the past.
