  Sand In My Sandwich

  $14.99

  You know that thing when you’re in Walmart at noon before you discover you haven’t brushed your teeth? Sarah Parshall Perry gets that. She also gets weird things showing up in her bed, her daughter asking for war paint, and her son crawling into a giant blue sock on Christmas morning. Mainly, she gets that conflicted feeling of finding her kids hanging out in the dogs’ cages and happily realizing they have stopped getting into trouble for a minute.

  According to Perry, “The hardest stuff is the quickest way to God,” and readers get to watch the systematic destruction of her carefully planned life, laughing at her missteps, aching at her tragedies, and recognizing themselves along the way. A mother of three children, two of whom are on the autism spectrum, she has experienced plenty of ups and downs, but from the chaos of her “ordinary” life she pulls the universal truths of motherhood, addressing them with humor, poignancy, and a naked honesty that will make the reader think, That sounds a lot like my crazy life. Perry helps mothers realize they aren’t alone, even if they’ve fallen off the straight and narrow of their intended path and are instead lying in the ditch next to it. Life’s a mess. But as Perry reminds us, it’s all for a purpose.

  Perfect for mothers, this book will encourage, inspire, and enlighten.

  When The Fairy Dust Settles

  $19.99

  As young girls we all believed in fairy tales. We dreamed of happily-ever-afters, sure that our futures were blessed. And then we grew up. And had to deal with the real world and what happens-.When the Fairy Dust Settles

  If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile childhood dreams with reality, you’re not alone. Now national radio talk show host Janet Parshall and her daughter take on the myths of youth and place them squarely against the concerns every woman faces. With candid insights-whether agreeing or respectfully disagreeing-mother and daughter set their sights on issues both lighthearted and serious. Discover why real life often is the best story as Janet and Sarah answer your questions on:
  *Beauty-What the world considers beautiful is very different from God’s vision of our self-worth. Where do short skirts and plastic surgery fit in?
  *Perfectionism-The fairy-tale view of life leads to sure frustration. Can we compare “the perfect life” with the true contentment God wants for us?
  *Relationships-Family life is fulfilling and stressful. Must we give up part of ourselves in order to be “good” wives and mothers?
  *Sex-The S word is part of our lives. But in what ways does our world differ drastically from the one God envisions for us?

  Entertaining, engaging, and always thought-provoking, WHEN THE FAIRY DUST SETTLES is an enlightening look at what it really means to live a Christian life in an often complicated world.
