Don’t Scare the Children! Homeschooling and the Fear of the Lord (Dennis Gundersen)
$5.50“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”, the Proverbs tell us. And since our children start at the beginning, and we parents are with them from that beginning, it’s all too clear — they must learn the fear of the Lord from us. But most Christian parents have little idea how to impart this perspective on life to their children.
We want to raise children who trust and love God, and certainly not children who withdraw from Him in terror! So what exactly is this fear of the Lord? Dennis Gundersen shows how parents can make this a reality in life and raise children who learn to fear God – so they won’t be afraid of anything else!
Single audio CD, 58 minutes play time.

Raising Children God’s Way (Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
$9.25When the light of the gospel enters the soul it brings with it a supernatural power that radically transforms the whole of life. This change is perhaps no more clearly seen than in the relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children. Our age has witnessed an almost total collapse of the family unit, and in many places the majority of children are now being raised in “broken homes”.
Our society presents Christian parents and children with a unique opportunity of bearing witness to God’s love by just being different. Few things are more powerful than a Christian family in which the true relationship between parents and children is clearly seen. This may be one of the ways in which God will bringing many to a knowledge of the truth.

Single Parents: Daily Grace for the Hardest Job
$5.62If you are a single parent, you don’t need anyone to tell you that you have one of the hardest jobs in the world. Does the Bible offer any particular words of grace or promise of power for you? Trying to be both “Mom” and “Dad” – breadwinner, cook, chauffeur, comforter, dishwasher, homework helper, disciplinarian, nurse, role model….it’s endless, and can wear down the hardiest man or woman.
Robert Jones addresses the many different issues that single parents struggle with – guilt, bad memories, anger, bitterness, resentment, loss, grief, and fear. Most importantly, he shares Biblical truths and practical parenting strategies that will give you hope and direction for each day.

Come, Ye Children: Practical Help for Telling Children About Jesus (Charles H. Spurgeon)
$7.50No one had a larger heart for children than Charles Spurgeon, the most influential pastor in the history of all English-speaking preachers. His church in downtown London grew largely due to his vast burden for children and his incessant labors to meet and reach them. He knows how to impart to parents a new enthusiasm and joy in the crucial task of the work for which you labor, and plain-spoken practical guidance to reach their hearts – in this book Come Ye Children.
But some get very discouraged in this work. The Christian training of children is hard, and often results are slow to be observed. In Spurgeon’s book you will find encouragement, practical help and biblical principles.

Kindling a Passion for Missions in a Child’s Heart: audio CD (Dennis Gundersen)
$5.99Should your children go on a missions trip? Should you go as a family? How can you best prepare your children and family for such a trip? Dennis Gundersen helps parents work through these questions.
Most importantly of all, parents need to be helping their children to see and discover that this world is a harvest of souls in need of the gospel, so that they don’t grow up having eyes only for their own little world.
This audio message (about 1 hour play time) can help parents learn how to lift their children’s vision to see these vast worldwide needs, and grasp that not every Christian has to end up being a missionary; but we can all have a heart for the tribes and peoples and nations around the globe whom the Lord is calling to Himself.

Women of the Word (Jen Wilkin)
$9.75“Women of the Word will help all who read it to find their way deeper into the word of God without having to be seminary educated, a genius, or even an especially good student.”
—Kathy KellerWe all know it’s important to study God’s word. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. What’s more, a lack of time, emotionally driven approaches, and past frustrations can erode our resolve to keep growing in our knowledge of Scripture. How can we, as Christian women, keep our focus and sustain our passion when reading the Bible?

Menopause: Help for the “Hot and Bothered”
$5.62Some call it “the change of life.” It is certainly that, and not always a welcome one! Hot flashes, memory lapses, tiredness, emotional struggles – they may not all be equal in severity, but you’re certainly experiencing the effects of growing older.
Though the world often tries to convince us that aging represents a loss of value, Amy Baker and Daniel Wickert offer a more biblical view that focuses on knowing and trusting Christ. Putting your hope in God and in his love for you will result in growth and fruitfulness, as you see that he is constantly at work in every stage of life to make us more like him.

$9.95Like the volume for boys, Tiger & Tom, this volume for girls was also published in the 1800s and contains over 40 character-building stories and 100 illustrations.
One mother of four has written to say, “I have literally spent thousands of dollars on educational and character building materials, and none have been as encouraging, nor as influential as these old time-stories.”

Choosing Forgiveness: Your Journey to Freedom (Nancy Leigh DeMoss)
$12.50Scripture says that offenses will happen. People will let us down and we will let others down, too. Forgiveness is left up to us to pray about and then practice. Far from minimizing the hurt of the offense, readers are called to understand that offering forgiveness and letting go of bitterness is the only way to walk in faithfulness.
Drawing on biblical teaching of our call to forgive, Nancy shows the reader that forgiveness is a choice, and the only pathway to true freedom.

“Not Tonight, Honey”: Handling Your Wife’s Sexual Rejection
$5.62How do you respond when you hear from your wife, “Not tonight, honey”? Your response may range from confusion and hurt to impatience and anger. Whether you’re hearing the words for the first time or are beginning to think you’ll never hear any others, you struggle with how to respond. You want to be a good husband, but you also want her to be a good wife!
Rob Green walks through the various ways men respond to their wives’ sexual rejection and calls husbands back to Christ’s foundational call to love their wives as Christ loves the church. By reminding men that sexual intimacy is an expression of love that finds its context in a marriage built on safely and security, he offers helpful instruction on how to love well and continue to build relationship.

Christian Marriage: From Basic Principles to Transformed Relationships (Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
$13.75In an age which has seen an almost total collapse of marriage and when, in many cases, marriages end in divorce with children being raised in ‘broken homes’, Dr. Lloyd-Jones’ words speak powerfully into our present situation. It is a situation which may be seen as giving Christians, and especially Christian marriages, a valuable opportunity to bear witness to biblical truth.
The way in which Dr. Lloyd-Jones, like the Apostle Paul, deals with marriage relationship, is extremely important – to attempt to deal with Christian practice apart from Christian doctrine is to tread a dangerous path. As these chapters on Ephesians make clear, the only Christianity powerful enough to penetrate and change society is that which is derived from the work of the Spirit of God.

The Gospel & Same-Sex Marriage (Russell Moore)
$10.39Christians should be known by what they are for, not simply what they are against. The Bible is unambiguously clear about marriage’s definition and purpose. So, Christians are for marriage. The Bible’s witness on marriage doesn’t allow for same-sex marriage, not because the Bible gives attention to same-sex marriage, but because the biblical narrative on marriage doesn’t conceive of same-sex marriage as within the realm of possibility. Yet, many Christians live among neighbors and under law-makers who disagree.
So, what now? Editors Russell Moore and Andrew T. Walker of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) assemble leading voices to frame the issues with a gospel-centered perspective. The Gospel for Life series gives every believer a biblically-saturated understanding of the most urgent issues facing our culture today, because the gospel is for all of life.

The Christian Home: Advice for Maintaining Religion in the Family (Joseph Avery Collier)
$8.50The Christian family is, or should be, the very type of heaven. To promote religion in the family, therefore, is to minister to the highest joys which are here available to us; to add the crown of grace to that which is loveliest in nature, and to exalt and ennoble with heaven’s own likeness the fairest scenes of earth. More than this, it is to promote religion in every sphere and relation of life; for the family is the basis of the social fabric, the foundation of the state, the empire, and the race.
All will perceive that if the living streams of humanity are to be purified and made better, we can nowhere begin more appropriately than at these their fountains. It is necessary, in order to a proper understanding of our subject, and a correct estimate of its magnitude, that we consider the foundation, nature, and importance of the family constitution.

His Chosen Bride: Single Girl Secrets to Living Out Proverbs 31 (Jennifer Lamp Neef)
$9.75We worship a God who is absolutely worthy of our trust in every area of life; but sometimes we allow the longings of our hearts to get the best of us, and we become fearful, not trusting Him with our future. This is a special area of temptation for single girls as they await the unfolding of God’s will for their lives in regard to marriage.
As a relief from these worries, author Jennifer Lamp Neef suggests wholehearted devotion to the Lord; treating Him Who calls Himself “our husband” (Isa. 54) as such, and knowing that in a deeper relationship with the Lord, we can discover how much more He treasures and loves us – right now – than any future husband ever will be able to. Don’t lose the opportunity, Jennifer says, to discover the rewards of loving and growing closer to Him in this remarkable, wonderful and fleeting season of life we call “singleness.”
