Lost Gifts : Miscarriage, Grief, And The God Of All Comfort

Courage To Be Imperfect
$18.99It’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 lifeImagine 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 peaceRelease 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
$19.99A 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
$24.99Be 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 deserveDuring 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 moreIf 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.

How To Speak Life To Your Husband
$19.99Discover the marriage you’ve always hoped for. With practical tools to help you communicate more effectively, you’ll learn to speak the language of love and grace that will encourage and strengthen your husband at every turn.
Ann Wilson spent more than a decade longing for a better marriage and for her husband to be more attentive, more involved, more helpful, and just all-around better. And every chance she got, she told him so. Where she thought she was being helpful, she was instead badgering him with constant critiques until all he heard was, “Boo! Boo!” when they were together. It almost broke their marriage. But Ann discovered the power that God has given wives.
No matter how long you’ve been married, you don’t need to spend another minute hoping and wishing for things to be different. They can! And the power is in your hands.
In this motivating, honest new book, Ann–marriage coach and bestselling author with her husband, Dave–shares how she breathed new life into her marriage by stewarding one of the most powerful gifts believers inherit from the Creator: encouragement. God has given wives a superpower to influence their husbands and homes, and you can use that power to build up and encourage your man to be a better husband, father, and man of God while still speaking truth to him. Relatable, encouraging, biblical, and funny, Ann shares stories from her own life, as well as valuable insights from Scripture, to help you:
*Address the ways you process and justify your communication patterns
*Seek spiritual and relational (re)alignment with both your husband and God
*Learn to exercise self-control and demonstrate radical grace in conversations with your husband
*Begin to cheer more than boo–in a way that isn’t put on, fake, or inauthentic
*Learn to speak truth in a way your husband can really hear you
*And, ultimately, cultivate a grace-based marriage that thrives
Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God’s help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime.

Raising Disciples At Home
$19.99Discipleship 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.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
