  What’s the worst you’ve ever faced as a parent? An all-out tantrum at the mall? A son who won’t take out his earbuds to listen to you? A daughter who’s failing at school and won’t do her homework? A teen who constantly breaks curfew? A call from the police? Whatever you’re dealing with, Raising the Challenging Child will help.

  Building on their work at Chaddock, a nonprofit organization that has worked with some of the most challenging kids in the nation for more than 150 years, the authors empower frustrated parents with practical tips and real-life examples on how to:
  – minimize behavioral meltdowns

  – increase cooperation
  – promote healthy attachment
  – improve family relationships

  Countercultural Parenting : Building Character In A World Of Compromise

  $16.99

  How can I raise them righteously in a fallen world?

  Maybe you caught your child in a web of lies. Perhaps your kid is repeating the bad language she hears on the playground. Or he’s picking up the lazy habits of his peers. Have you ever wondered how to raise your kids to change God’s world when filth and folly get all the air time?

  While the moral tide of our culture is sweeping virtue, hard work, integrity and godliness out to sea, raising a child with godly values is countercultural. But it’s not impossible. Change starts with you. You can reject passivity and equip your kids to reflect Christ to the world.

  Author Lee Nienhus offers guidance to every struggling parent. As you work on building your own character and confidence, you will learn to model a life of discipline and integrity for your children and become the kind of countercultural parent your kids need.

  Forever Liesl : A Memoir Of The Sound Of Music

  $24.00

  The magic of The Sound of Music lives on in the minds and hearts of everyone it has touched. Now, Charmian Carr, who in 1965 captivated moviegoers as Liesl “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” von Trapp, tells what it was like to be a part of the film that has become a cultural phenomenon. It’s all here: from how she got the role (and why she almost didn’t) to romances on the set and wild nights in Salzburg; from the near-disaster during the gazebo dance to her relationships–then and now–with her six celluloid siblings. Charmian offers stories from fans and friends and a treasury of photographs. And she reveals why she left acting, what she learned when she met the real von Trapp children; and how The Sound of Music has helped her get through stormy times in her own life.
  Forever Liesl celebrates the spirit of the movie and what it stands for: family love, romance, inspiration, nostalgia, and the joy and power of music.

  “Plenty of behind-the-gazebo tidbits.” –Entertainment Weekly
  “Just as heartwarming as the movie.” –Chicago Sun-Times
