  Together Through The Storms

  $19.99

  Biblical encouragements that strengthen marriages in times of trial.

  This devotional helps married couples to navigate the storms of life together. Working through the book of Job, Sarah Walton (author of “Hope when it Hurts”) and her husband Jeff reflect on their own experiences in a marriage that has faced chronic illness, baggage from the past, a child with neurological challenges, and financial difficulties-and show how to cling to Christ and each other.

  This is not a “how to” guide on having the best marriage, but, rather, a walk alongside you and your spouse, sharing the realities of suffering and the effects it can have on a marriage. It is an encouragement to lift your eyes above your trials, off your spouse, and onto our all-sufficient Savior.

  Home Built From Love And Loss

  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.

  4 Relationship Styles

  $18.99

  Whether 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 love

  If 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.

  Why Marriage Counseling Fails

  $16.99

  Like life itself, marriage has moments of joy…and sorrow. As difficult as marriage can be, many who have said “I do” try to stick it out when problems arise because the alternative–being alone–is not very appealing. If the couple truly wants to save their marriage, they usually turn to counseling.

  Unfortunately, most marriage counseling ends with the couple dropping out and then, more often than not, ending their relationship. In some cases, the problem is not the couple but their choice of counselor. One who is poorly trained, disinterested, or obviously biased can destroy a marriage.

  Why Marriage Counseling Fails explores different scenarios that cause problems for couples as well as the different types of counselors who can help or harm a marriage. Dr. David B. Hawkins has more than forty-five years of experience as a marriage counselor and has helped thousands of couples save their marriages.

  “Sadly, when it comes to reaching out for help for marriage counseling, few have a sense of trust and confidence in their counselor,” he says. “Stories abound about how they came out of a counseling session worse than when they went in.”

  Dr. Hawkins defines the “five I’s” of a qualified marriage counselor as one who:

  *Offers wise instruction
  *Takes an active interest in the couple
  *Offers insight into why problems recur
  *Is willing to work intensively
  *Works in-depth to help the couple find long-term solutions

  Why Marriage Counseling Fails offers insights into marital issues, the brokenness of the counseling system, how to find good help, and how to insist upon effective help when turning to a counselor.
