Home Built From Love And Loss
$17.99Add to cartGrieving is part of every blended family.
Sabrina and her new husband were both widowed when their families blended, so grieving was expected. They recognized the losses suffered in their families would take time to heal. What they have since learned is that every blended family experiences grieving whether you are widowed or divorced. And the process usually takes longer than expected.
Sabrina vulnerably shares her personal experiences and struggles, revealing her mistakes and fears that she had early on in her new marriage and with her new family. In A Home Built from Love and Loss, you’ll learn to:
*work through different parenting styles as a stepmother or stepfather;
*parent kids in different ages and stages of development (hormones, personalities, and power dynamics);
*compassionately address chaos and hurt feelings together and independently;
*deal with feelings of guilt;
*handle initial rejection from stepchildren;
*glean biblical wisdom on how to do life together with grace;
*connect better on an emotional level with your newly-formed family while keeping traditions that have grounded your family; and
*honor the bereaved or divorced spouse.
For anyone facing the challenges of blended families, A Home Built from Love and Loss offers practical advice and spiritual guidance to find hope in the midst of grief.

4 Relationship Styles
$18.99Add to cartWhether we know it or not, relationship styles cause some people to naturally thrive in relationships and others to struggle. According to attachment theory, we tend to experience love in predictable ways–some of which are healthy and some of which are not–based on our style and that of our partner.
The good news is, whatever relationship style you have naturally, you’re not stuck with it! Using the strategies found in this book, you can:
– identify your relationship style (and your partner’s)
– understand the strengths and challenges of that style
– overcome feelings of rejection and failed relationships
– recognize the patterns and behaviors that are affecting your relationships
– develop better ways to express and receive loveIf you’ve been caught in a cycle of unsatisfying relationships, discover how attachment theory can help you take the guesswork out of understanding why people behave the way they do–especially in times of stress–so you can find and sustain a love that lasts.

He Gives More Grace
$16.99Add to cartMotherhood is one of life’s most joyful yet most difficult gifts. We are eager to get it “right”, yet parenting usually highlights our weaknesses and leaves us worried about our mistakes.

They will help you to trust that God’s grace is enough for you and your kids. As the authors say in the introduction, “Our children do not need a perfect mother. What they do need is a mother who recognizes her need for a perfect Savior and understands that this is the greatest need of her children as well.”
As you focus on the work of Jesus rather than your own efforts, you will feel less pressure and more freedom and joy in all the ups and downs of motherhood.
Written by a mother-daughter combination (one with four kids aged 10-16 and one with three grown kids and ten grandchildren) who are both grateful recipients of God’s grace and faithfulness in the many seasons, situations and realities of motherhood.
