Courtship and Dating: So What’s the Difference? Audio CD (Dennis Gundersen)
We hear much about courtship these days, but judging by the conversations we have with families, many parents are quite in the dark as to the real differences between a “dating” approach to relationships and the “courtship” concept. We want to spare our children the pitfalls we experienced in the 20th-century “dating” tradition, but too often we lack clear ideas about what we are leading them to and end up being more of a barrier than a door!

Mighty Men: The Starter’s Guide to Leading Your Family (John Crotts)
Christian men often find the task of family leadership so daunting, we withdraw from it into distant uninvolvement – leaving our wives and children with the impression that we don’t care enough to lead, or don’t want to, when the heart of the problem often is that we’re intimidated by our lack of possessing the basic tools.
Many Christian men today had little or no training for the role we now find ourselves in. This book provides a “starter kit” for men reluctant to take the reins of spiritual leadership in their homes, and shows the path to imitating Christ in loving, servant headship to those family members who look to us!

Glenda’s Story: Led by Grace (Glenda Revell)
Unwanted from birth and abused throughout her childhood, Glenda was desperate for love and a sense of belonging. Her only respite from a miserable home life was school, and the welcoming shade of her favorite willow tree, under which she would dream of another life, another family, and pray to a God she did not yet know.
Ultimately, Glenda’s afflictions became the cords with which God drew her to Himself. Receiving His salvation, she understood that God had saved her from her own sinfulness, more than horrid conditions and treatment by others. This is a story of great hope, an amazing account of how our merciful Savior brings light out of darkness, joy out of sorrow, and peace out of pain. Highly recommended by Elisabeth Elliot.
