Communication and Conflict Resolution: A Biblical Perspective (Stuart Scott)
$3.95Communication and solving conflicts are two major hurdles in any marriage. Doing these biblically must be the resolve of both husband and wife. If you won’t honor God in these areas, count on misery and trouble.
It starts with humility: I may not be right. It also starts with desiring to please God more than self. God considers most conflict a grievous thing that He wants His children to have no part in it. Strife generally arises from selfishness. This booklet has arisen from over 2 decades of experience in counseling families.

Toxic Sons- and Daughters-in-Law: Untangling Difficult Relationships
$18.50Generally speaking, if there’s trouble with in-laws in a family, blame is quickly assigned to the father- or mother-in-law. But they are not always to blame. Many fathers- and mothers-in-law are wonderful folks, beloved parents, good communicators, and fun-loving people. When their son or daughter ends up married to a person with immature attitudes, an abusive personality, or excessive emotional baggage, these parents are now stuck with a son- or daughter-in-law who makes their lives a living hell. What was once a loving family now finds itself turned upside down by a toxic, self-centered individual.
Toxic Sons- and Daughters-in-Law helps expose the harmful attitudes and actions of a difficult son- or daughter-in-law and calls for biblical repentance and change. Untangling the destructive and dysfunctional nature of their abusive behavior will help parents manage the painful process of rejection, manipulation and anger. Practical counsel throughout the book will guide parents through the minefield of emotions to a God-glorifying conclusion and a lifestyle marked by application of biblical principles.
