Mad About Us
$19.36LEARN TO LOVE YOUR MARRIAGE AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE YOUR SPOUSE. Many couples try to love each other only to be trapped by the marriage itself. Loving the relationship provides an opportunity for a deep and lasting connection. When you and your spouse love the Us-the separate entity created when two people fall in love-then together you will experience a unique partnership and deep spiritual union. Mad About Us embraces the longing that pulls people together and guides readers to redirect their marriage to live from the relationship rather than for it. “Dr. Doug McKinley has a passion for helping couples build marriages that not only survive but thrive. His years of clinical competence combined with his practical insight make him a true authority-someone we deeply respect. We urge you to read this book.” Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott Seattle Pacific University Authors of The Love List “Mad About Us offers piercing insight and truly effective help for people looking to build profound marriage partnerships. Individuals and couples looking to move beyond a marriage of survival to one of deep satisfaction and intimacy will want to pick up this book.” Daniel Meyer, Senior Pastor Christ Church Oak Brook, Illinois “Dr. Doug McKinley provides both the wisdom and discernment to move beyond simplistic solutions. Mad About Us offers a unique and profound relational definition of marriage as well as a pattern through which to assess next steps for a couple’s marital growth.” Rev. Dr. Scott Field Wheatland Salem United Methodist Church Naperville, Illinois

How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team
$19.99“It’s not what you think that will impact your child; it’s what you communicate.” What are you telling your kids? Are you telling them that their crises are trivial and their ideas are foolish? Probably not in so many words, but you may be communicating just that with your lack of interest in the day-to-day activities of your child. To keep your children on your team, Charles Stanley asserts, you must assure them from the start that you are on theirs. Focusing on the parental role as one of stewardship rather than ownership, Stanley instructs parents on how to ingrain a sense of personal accountability to God into the minds of children at an early age. By doing so, parents can raise confident, self-controlled kids who will hold fast to the values they instill.

To Prepare Or To Protect
$20.61Books on how to be good parents fly off bookstore shelves by the millions. Daytime talk shows are filled with advice on how to raise children. Troubled parents need not look very far to find parenting advice. Still, teenage violence, domestic abuse, depression, and suicide remain disturbingly high. Perhaps we need to find a way to merge contemporary parental concerns with the teachings of God. The battle cry in many churches today is one of segregation, building a wall between our children and a dangerous world. The problem is that children see the world as a vast place of opportunity, not as an evil fortress waiting to devour them. Parents consequently are torn between advice to shield and protect their children from the world and allowing children to make mistakes to find their way. To Prepare or Protect offers parents a direction that removes this either/or dilemma. The book’s aim is to help parents recognize and teach their children timeless principles that will prepare them for life in a world that is not always perfect. Most importantly, parents will learn to enjoy their children in a way they only dreamed possible, and will develop a greater confidence that their children will be able to forge a productive path for themselves through a difficult world.

60 Things God Said About Sex
$17.00In many TV shows, the characters move from partner to partner, making sex the be-all and end-all of the male-female relationship. In many magazines, the advertised topics are centered on sex-good sex, better sex, more sex. The entertainment shows are focused on who’s having sex with who. Sex, sex, sex. It’s everywhere! But the only thing that seems to be a definite is that people are trying to find happiness through sexual relationships. God created sex for a specific purpose–and created it good. Sex is a gift from God. The Bible candidly deals with sex (more so than many modern sex manuals!), and this book is forthright in presenting the biblical view of sex as a gift from God, its intended use, and the spiritual parallel of a husband and wife’s sexual union as a symbol of the sacred consummation of Christ and His bride–the church. In this straightforward explanation of the biblical view of sex, Lester Sumrall will show you that the best way to have sex is God’s way. This book is perfect for couples about to get married, parents who think it’s about time to have “that talk” with their child, or anyone who finds that the world’s view of sex isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
