What To Say And How To Say It To Your Teen
$66.65Navigating the Teen Years One Essential Conversation at a Time
– Equips parents with the grace and biblical tools they need to handle tough questions and awkward conversations
– Encourages parents and teens to maintain open communication and not shy away from hard topics
– Helps build trust that lasts a lifetime
There are things we absolutely need to talk to our teens about, but what we say, how we say it, and when we say it make all the difference between helping them embrace truth and become the person God designed them to be–or driving them away. Will they listen? How will they take it? These are legitimate worries that can keep us from saying anything–or have us second-guessing everything we did say.
What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen is your field manual to clear, compassionate communication with the son or daughter who no longer thinks you have all the answers–even though they have more questions than ever, like:
– Why can’t I have my phone in my room at night?
– Why do I have to go to church?
– How can God allow bad things to happen?
– What can I do about the anxiety or depression I’m feeling?
– Why can’t I just date for fun?
– Why do I have to get a job?
– Why does it matter who I hang out with?From shifting views on gender to questioning faith to struggling with honesty or respect or porn, the teen years are tough. They’re also some of the most important years for you to offer guidance. This book will help you handle 30 of the trickiest conversations you need to have with your teen.

Myth Of Good Christian Parenting
$19.99Christian parents want to raise their kids in a godly way. But what if we’ve been sold a promise that “biblical parenting” can never deliver?
In The Myth of Good Christian Parenting, Marissa Franks Burt and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis explore how the Christian parenting book industry has shaped, and often strained, families over the past five decades, continuing into the present day. Drawing on history, sociology, theology, and survey responses from adult children and parents, they trace the rise of Christian parenting empires that idealize obedient kids and perfect households–but often leave parents and children feeling like they’ll never measure up.
The authors also analyze popular Christian parenting teachings. They argue that these teachings on authority, compliance, corporal punishment, and control have had lasting effects on family dynamics and spiritual identity–including loss of faith, estrangement, religious trauma, and deep regret for many older parents. This book equips Christian parents, adults thinking critically about their upbringing, and church leaders to pursue a new path of freedom and mutual respect within their families.

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.
