Praying Their Way
$19.99Learn how to help kids develop an authentic relationship with God.
Children have a natural curiosity about God and an innate draw towards mystery. As they grow, kids ask bigger, more complex spiritual questions, and they need guides to help them explore their budding faith lives. Frustratingly, many of us lack the confidence or skills to talk to kids about prayer. We need resources to help us help them pray, in their own words and on their terms.
In Praying Their Way, seminary professor, pastor, and dad Roger Owens partners with his 14-year-old daughter Mary Clare to offer a unique guidebook for introducing kids to a lifelong journey with prayer. Filled with an abundance of tools to engage kids between the ages of 10-14 on the topic of prayer, this book provides support for that awkward time as kids grow from young children into teenagers and their faith grows and evolves too.
In this new resource for adults and the “tweens” they care for, you’ll discover a new vocabulary for talking about prayer, specific prompts for conversation, and two dozen prayer practices in six different categories (scripture, silence, body, nature, together, and justice) to explore with kids in grades 5-8. Praying Their Way is easily adaptable for younger kids and kids through 9th grade, as well as the spiritual-but-not-religious audience.
Written for parents, grandparents, godparents, pastors, children’s ministers, and Sunday school teachers, Praying Their Way is the book we have all been longing for. With Roger and Mary Clare as your wise guides, you will embark on a joyful journey of discovery and holy connection with the kids you love. And, as you share these practices with these young people, you may find that your own relationship with God is deepened and enriched as well.

Here Be Dragons
$18.00NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Nobody’s Cuter than You comes a poignant, deeply personal story about trusting God to heal generational wounds so we can show up for our teenage girls-now includes an afterword by Melanie Shankle’s daughter, Caroline (author of The Lion and the Bear).
Medieval cartographers marked maps with “Here Be Dragons” to warn of unknown dangers ahead, and now Melanie Shankle humorously applies this to raising teenage daughters. Navigating the tumultuous teenage years can be daunting, with mean girls, dramatic breakups, and self-worth struggles often occurring in a single day. As a mom, you might long for a guide to help you through these unpredictable times.
When her daughter, Caroline, faced high school challenges, Melanie felt overwhelmed. She embarked on a journey to break the vicious cycles rooted in her past, realizing that to help Caroline face her dragons, she first needed to confront her own. In Here Be Dragons, Melanie candidly explores past struggles and generational wounds that shaped her approach to parenting. With deep insight and empathy, she demonstrates how facing your own dragons empowers you to help your daughter confront hers.
Here Be Dragons is a heartfelt-and aptly humorous-source of camaraderie and practical advice for those feeling overwhelmed by raising a teenage daughter. It serves as a road map to thriving amid chaos and trusting God to transform you into a healthier woman, mom, wife, and friend. Laugh, cry, and find solidarity in Melanie’s transformative journey as you embrace your own path toward building an unbreakable mother-daughter bond and a more empowered future together.

Navigating the birds and bees is challenging enough for parents. Kids today are faced with all sorts of complex issues, and often at a very early age. When is it too early to talk about sex?

*Present God’s purpose for both marriage and singleness
*Explain God’s design for sex with clarity
*Discuss gender identity from a biblical perspective
*Protect your children from sexual abuse

Lightbulb Moments In Marriage
$29.99Establish an Aha! moment in your marriage to get unstuck, love each other how God designed, and build a long-lasting, healthy relationship. With over twenty-five years of experience, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, New York Times bestselling author of Love & Respect, shares twelve powerful truths described as “lightbulb moments”–breakthrough realizations that can change your relationship forever.
In marriage, ignorance is not bliss. It’s frustrating. Especially when you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to change. Perhaps your marriage needs a lightbulb moment.
Many couples have goodwill and long for marital satisfaction, but they still feel stuck. They repeat the same arguments, cycle through the same frustrations, and are unsure how to move forward. They long for something to change for the better but, at conflicted moments, feel in the dark about how.
You’ve read books, spoken up, held back, prayed, and still your spouse doesn’t seem to get it. And then there are instances when you say to yourself, It must be me.
That’s where this book comes in.
Each chapter captures a memorable, life-giving truth that couples did not see before. For example:
*”Not Wrong, Just Different Shades of Right” – A fresh lens for resolving recurring conflict that many couples overlook as they get stuck voicing frustration.
*”My Response Is My Responsibility” – A call to a new understanding of what frees and empowers us to influence our spouse.
*”Not Communication, But Mutual Understanding” – A reframe that clarifies what couples really need when they’re trying to be heard.
*”Motivating, Not Manipulating” – A powerful insight into what energizes and influences the heart of a spouse, and what silently shuts it down.
*”Hollywood or the Holy Word?” – A surprising realization about the script we follow, and whether our expectations are shaped by reel love or real love.
Sometimes, all it takes is one lightbulb moment to change everything, and the most successful couples say these twelve Biblical illuminations were the ones they wish they had known sooner.
Perfect for every couple–from newlyweds to those decades in–these aren’t generic tips, but biblically based, creatively worded practical truths that stick with couples and aid in their experience of breakthroughs, almost instantly. The “Aha moment”, if you will.

$19.99You didn’t get married to feel like strangers in the same house.
Between the dishes, the doomscrolling, and the daily grind, the connection faded. You’re not fighting, but you’re not talking like you used to either, and you’re tired of doing all the work. You’ve become more roommates than soulmates.
Most days are a blur of chores and checklists, and most nights end with you and your spouse in the same bed but worlds apart–backs turned, both scrolling through someone else’s life instead of living your own. You often wonder, Is marriage supposed to feel like this?
Maybe nothing is falling apart, but it’s still not what you pictured. Maybe you’re growing, but your spouse isn’t keeping pace. You’re doing the work, carrying the load, and wondering why you’re no longer seen. Friend, you’re not alone. Around you, other couples are quietly unraveling too.

It’s a deeply honest, faith-rooted guide for couples who still want to want their marriages but keep missing the mark. Through a decade of relationship research and hard-won wisdom, Lindsey Maestas offers rare transparency, biblical truth, and practical tools to overcome modern distractions and rebuild playfulness, honesty, and deep connection.
In this helpful and healing book, you’ll learn how to:

*Let your relationship with God become so rich and rooted that it transforms the way you show up in your marriage
*Balance emotional labor without resentment
*Create new habits and disciplines that help you support each other
*Build a home that feels safe, playful, and spiritually grounded, even on your worst days

*How can I let go . . . and still hold myself together?

*How can I come to a place of wholeness and healing so my brokenness doesn’t trickle out to other relationships?
*How do I move forward?

Surviving an Unwanted Divorce offers biblically based, practical strategies for growing in faith and self-awareness as one season of life ends . . . and another hope-filled season begins.
