The last time I published something personal was November of 2016. It's safe to say I'm back, thanks in large part to my baby, my bae, my cat, Baby Taffets. You know he's a remarkable cat given that he's all that's successfully pulled me out of my writing funk. That being said, this is officially a mommy blog. There's going to be numerous pictures and videos of me and the cat doing benign things that are amplified in awesomeness because they're being done by my cat. [ 669 more words ]

Real Family Values: Leading Your Family into the 21st Century with Clarity and Conviction by Robert Lewis NonFiction

This re-release of the popular original edition continues to speak to parents in a society where "family values" no longer seem to exist. If anything, today's community standards threaten the family. Airwaves and movie theaters are drenched with obscenities; perversion is glorified; divorce is cheap and easy; "safe s*x" is promoted instead of abstinence; parental authority is undermined; s*x roles are confused. For children, such cultural chaos is crippling. But in Real Family Values, parents will learn how to sort through today's moral confusion, remove it from their homes, and change the world by zeroing in on the part they love most: their families.

Everybody Wins: The Chapman Guide to Solving Conflicts without Arguing by Gary Chapman

Every couple has disagreements. All too often, though, when we engage in arguments, our goal is not to resolve the conflict at hand, but rather, to win the fight. Unfortunately, when you win an argument, your spouse is the loser, and nobody wants to be or live with a loser. When you resolve a conflict, your spouse becomes your friend. Good marriages are based on friendship, not on winning arguments. Now, Gary Chapman provides couples with a simple blueprint for achieving win-win solutions to everyday conflicts and disagreements. By learning how to listen empathetically, respecting each other's ideas and feelings, and understanding why particular issues are so important to their spouse, couples can find solutions that result not only in resolving the conflict at hand, but also leave both partners feeling loved, listened to, and appreciated.

Romancing Your Child's Heart by Monte Swan

Parents can have awesome relationships with their children, but it is not enough to fill them with Bible facts, verses, and demand of them certain desired behaviors - you must first capture their hearts. When a child is young, parents can impose their will. When the child is older, however, if the parent hasn't won his heart, all the force in the world will only serve to drive him farther and farther away. How can parents win the hearts of their children? It all starts with romance - exactly as God woos us. Not just another parenting book, Monte Swan takes an entirely new approach to reaching the heart of a child . . . the way of romance. Desiring to lead their children to a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, parents will learn the very best approach to open the hearts of their children. Swan teaches parents how they can enter into the world of their children and give them not only what they long for, but what they need . . . an environment of total love and security from which they can conquer the challenges life has to offer. He demonstrates how any parent can turn the tables on the world and romance the hearts of their children to the love of God. With practical advice in real-life parenting situations, Swan equips parents first with the enthusiasm for the challenge ahead and then with concrete ways to win the heart of any child.

Marital Misery? You’re Not Alone

Contemplating divorce? (Gasp) Never! Murder? (Hmmmmm)Well, maybe…! If your marriage resembles a combat zone more than a covenant commitment, you’re in good company.

Contemplating Divorce?

(Gasp)

Never!

Murder?

(Pause)

Well...maybe!

The slogan for The Divorce Store reads: “When ‘till death do you part’ isn’t soon enough.” Can you relate?

“Instead of just waiting for Paul to keel over, I spent years looking for a younger woman for him, someone who enjoys doing laundry.”

“I calculated I’d forgiven Paul the biblically required seven times seventy—490 times—over the course of one weekend alone…”

“When ‘two become one flesh,’ you either get some unity or you get Frankenstein. We got a monster of a marriage…”

When your marriage resembles a combat zone more than a covenant commitment, you need a few weapons, er…tools at your disposal.

Former award-winning TV news reporter Karen Long candidly expresses juicy foibles and misdeeds marking her treacherous memorable twenty-year marriage with Paul. The happy ending? They’re still married. Only now they’re laughing.

Karen will arm you with solid spiritual ammunition targeting attitude, gratitude, contentment, forgiveness, and—of course—suffering. Humorously revealing her hard-won wisdom, this book is your ticket out of marital misery and into a harmonious hitch.
