Many feel bombarded by images and experiences of broken families. This is not how God intended families to be! So often we examine the traits of unhealthy families, but Gary Chapman paints a biblical portrait of what a loving, stable family looks like. This book is not just to be read, but experienced. Chapman details five timeless characteristics that create a healthy family environment: A heart for service Husbands and wives who relate intimately Parents who guide their children Children who obey and honor parents Husbands who love and lead In Dr. Chapman's own words, "What happens to your family does make a difference not only to you and your children, but to the thousands of young observers who are in search of a functional family."

Ignite a deeper, more vibrant relationship with God that impacts not just your spiritual life but every aspect of your daily life. John Ortberg calls readers back to the dynamic heartbeat of Christianity--God's power to bring change and growth--and reveals how and why transformation takes place. The Life You've Always Wanted offers modern perspectives on the ancient path of the spiritual disciplines. But it is more than just a book about things to do to be a good Christian. It's a road map toward true transformation that starts not with the individual but with the person at the journey's end--Jesus Christ. As with a marathon runner, the secret to finishing a race lies not in trying harder, but in training consistently--training with the spiritual disciplines. The disciplines are neither taskmasters nor ends in themselves. Rather they are exercises that build strength and endurance for the road of growth. The fruit of the Spirit--joy, peace, kindness, etc.--are the signposts along the way. Paved with humor and sparkling anecdotes, The Life You've Always Wanted is an encouraging and challenging approach to a Christian life that's worth living--a life on the edge that fills an ordinary world with new meaning, hope, change, and joy.

For fans of Becky Albertalli and Ali Novak comes a fun, flirty romance about navigating first love, and the challenge of letting go of perfection. Classic Hollywood and high school collide in this charming teen romance about finding love where you least expect it. Maddie Brooks has always dreamed of a romance straight out of a classic Hollywood film, complete with her very own silver screen heartthrob. But she never expected to find that in her new neighbor. Jesse Morales is a lot of things-star pitcher for the baseball team, a member of the popular crowd, her friend's gorgeous older brother-but he's not the kind of boy Maddie pictured herself falling for. She's always had her heart set on someone who is as into theatre as she is-and jocks are so not her style. Then Maddie discovers that Jesse was raised as a dancer, and that he might just be what she's been looking for after all-as long as she can convince him to take the stage again. But when it becomes clear that baseball, not dance, is Jesse's passion, Maddie is faced with a choice: should she hold out for the romance of her dreams, or let herself fall for the boy who's unexpectedly taken her heart?

It is a tragic reality that many people never experience the solid, positive presence of a loving father. This lack of fatherly influence and care has deep ramifications for life, including how we interact with others, raise our own children, and understand God as Father. But God promised that he would not leave us orphans, that everyone who believes becomes an adopted son or daughter of a loving Father in heaven. Ed McGlasson shares his personal experience of having lost his own father before he was born. With deep conviction and strong encouragement, he invites hurting people to take heart and have hope in their heavenly Father who loves them, blesses them, and will never leave them. Readers will take away a new sense of purpose, identity, and value that they have been searching for their whole lives.
