Gods Grace For Every Family
$19.99Add to cartWeaving her own story together with nine attributes of God’s character revealed from Scripture, Anna Meade Harris speaks to vulnerable single parents and to churches who want to love them well.
After the death of her husband, Anna Meade Harris discovered that single-parent families don’t seem to have a place in the local church. Because she and her kids no longer fit into the Christian family mold, the body of Christ felt alien and strange when Anna’s family needed it the most. Belonging, even in the most loving church, was a challenge.
God’s Grace for Every Family was born out of Anna’s desire to help other families avoid feeling the loneliness that hers felt. This gospel-centered work addresses the single parent who needs to know that God sees, loves, and cares for their family. The book also addresses the church at large, in the hopes that Christians will come to understand the unique needs of single-parent families and do a better job of welcoming, valuing, and loving them.
The book begins with Anna’s story and then presents information about single-parent families in America, providing an understanding of their unique needs and complex dynamics. The chapters that follow each focus on a particular area of need and contain:
*Exegesis of Scripture demonstrating the character of God in relationship with his people
*Short narratives collected through interviews with single parents from a variety of backgrounds
*Suggestions for how the church can serve God and families
This book is written for all Christians, married or single, parent or childless. It’s written for widows, divorcees, and those who never married. And it’s written for the congregants, pastors, leaders, and church family who wants to embrace every family and learn how to serve them well. By addressing families and the church together, God’s Grace for Every Family opens the door for gracious conversations and greater unity in the family of God.

Logramos trabajar como un extraordinario equipo cuando el matrimonio consigue cimentarse en tres puntos importantes: desarrollar un ambiente agradable en casa, reconocer las virtudes del otro y no dejar que el rencor nos distancie.
La propuesta de este libro es hacer de nuestro hogar el mejor lugar para vivir; y para lograrlo, se necesita una convivencia saludable, algo dificil de lograr si caemos en la trampa de las relaciones conflictivas.
Con su amplia trayectoria en temas de familia, Sixto Porras nos indica como seguir el camino correcto para un matrimonio saludable. !Un camino que tu tambien puedes transitar!
Sixto nos plantea una ruta decididamente clara, con principios aplicables desde el enamoramiento, y nos plantea algunas preguntas directas y poderosas:
*Como se que tengo un buen matrimonio?
*Cuales son las caracteristicas del amor?
*Como hacer crecer la armonia en el matrimonio?
*Como tener el matrimonio que siempre he deseado tener?Haz de tu matrimonio una relacion inquebrantable y saludable.
Few people like Sixto Porras get to interpret the complicated chords of a marriage symphony. We get to work as an amazing team when the marriage is based on three important points: developing a warm atmosphere at home, acknowledging our spouses virtues, and not letting bitterness drive us apart.
This book suggests making our home the best place to live in. In order to achieve this, a healthy cohabitation is necessary, which is difficult to reach if we fall in the trap of difficult and troubled relationships.
With a long career on family issues, Sixto Porras points out how to follow the right path towards a healthy marriage. A path you can also walk on!
Sixto sets a definitely clear route, with principles to apply from the time of failing in love. He makes some straight and powerful questions like:*How do I know I have a good marriage?
*What are the features of love?
*How can I grow harmony in my marriage?
*How can I have the marriage I always wanted?Make your marriage an unshakable and healthy relationship.

Merge For Marriage
$16.99Add to cartMarriage can be surprisingly difficult when you’re first starting out.
Newly married couples face a tremendous challenge that is seldom talked about. In our social media-driven world, it’s easy to think that everyone else has it together in their marriages and wonder if maybe you made a mistake. The truth is, most couples don’t enter marriage with the communication or attachment skills needed to deal with the integration of two lives.
The Merge for Marriage helps answer the question newly married couples face: “Can we ever get on the same page?” Couples will learn:
*what it means to “merge” and the damaging effects of not dealing with differences early in a marriage;
*the seven predictable areas of conflict;
*a practical, powerful plan for dealing with differences with one’s partner; and
*how to help another couple walk through the merge process.
Full of practical stories, current research on connection and attachment, and enduring biblical principles, this book will help a couple learn how the different “merge points” in their marriage can actually strengthen their relationship so that they can enjoy a thriving marriage.

Parent Differently : Raise Kids With Biblical Character That Changes Cultur
$14.99Add to cartMost parents misguidedly prioritize behavior. The why and how to instill character.
Behavior modification does not guarantee good character qualities. Character influences decisions. It’s evidenced in our speech, actions, and attitudes. It’s about who we are and what we do. The world competes for the hearts of our kids–and we see its negative impact in their pride, laziness, and entitlement. As Christians, however, we want to see the character of Jesus Christ in our children. Dads and moms, grandparents, and teachers all want to see their children grow in humility, gratitude, and respect–for others and themselves. We want our kids to be brave, compassionate, and joyful. We don’t want our kids to flounder through life. We want them to flourish and live into their God-given designs and callings. Dr. Kathy Koch helps us to that end by answering essential questions:
*What is character and why does it matter?
*Why is there a crisis of character?
*What are the challenges in developing character?
*How can we teach or improve character?Not only does character help us accomplish our goals, there are many other benefits of mature character: we will be blessed, stand out for Jesus, attract good friends, grow in wisdom, and live in freedom.
Koch provides an invaluable resource for shepherding our children in godly character.
