  Home Built From Love And Loss

  $17.99

  Grieving 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.

  Additional Info
  Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that shape a gospel-centred marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption.

  To understand why marriages struggle-as they all do-we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.

  This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the Gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response.

  Death Did Us Part

  $10.99

  Death Did Us Part presents a short story about the tumultuous marital relationship of a couple at the brink of divorce. The book, based on a true story, is a reflection on some of the pitfalls that plagued the marriage of Akawd and Muka and brought it to its deathbed. Interestingly, Akawd and Muka were both committed Christians and leaders in their church when they immigrated to Canada from Africa.

  By sharing this story, I provide an opportunity for readers to both understand better and safely observe the parallels that might exist between their own relationships and this couple’s. These patterns may then be named and safely externalized. The book also serves to celebrate marriages and the couples who keep their vows.
