Pass The Joy Please
$15.99Add to cartThere is a joy inexpressible and uncontainable that is delivered to a woman’s heart when she delivers a baby to the world! When an ordinary woman gazes into the eyes of her baby, joy is real and recognizable; love is unconditional and bottomless.
However, sometimes that delicious joy is lost amidst sleepless nights, potty-training, strong-willed two year olds and never-ending mountains of laundry! When a weary mother is facing yet another day of tantrums, sibling rivalry, last week’s dishes in the sink and a house filled with unmade the beds, the joy of motherhood is often no where to be found.
Carol McLeod is the mother of five and the “Marmee” to currently seven precocious and precious little people. When it comes to the days of being overwhelmed with the demands of children, she “gets” it. Carol understands the desire to be the world’s greatest mom and yet falling on your face … day after day after day.
Carol is a mom who deeply cares about the next generation of women who are raising their children to make a difference in the world. She has written this devotional from the wealth of years of motherhood and from a heart that knows the true source of joy.
If you have forgotten how to giggle or sing with your children … then this book is for you!
If you have lost yourself in the quagmire of whining children … then this book is for you!
If you have screamed at your children this week for no reason other than they were acting like children … then this book is for you!If you long to wring the joy out of motherhood … then this book is for you!

Commandment We Forgot
$7.99Add to cartA commandment from God. A commandment with a promise. A commandment we forgot.
We are all children, we ought to pursue God’s blessings, and we need to give prominence to God’s prominent command: Honor your father and your mother. For these reasons, we can no longer ignore the forgotten Fifth Commandment.
This commandment is not just for children. Rather, it pertains to the whole of life and to every person of every age. In the home, the church, and the workplace, it provides a stable foundation for all of society. Yet, we often neglect it and fail to appreciate its relevance to our lives. It is the commandment we forgot.
This booklet is a brief exploration of the Fifth Commandment: Honor your father and your mother. It answers important questions relevant to every Christian: Does this commandment expire when we move out of our parents’ home and gain our independence? Does it cease being relevant once we are married? Is obedience synonymous with honor? Do we need to be prepared to provide for them financially? What if our parents are especially difficult or unworthy of respect?
My hope is that this booklet will restore the centrality of the fifth commandment, even and especially to adults. Let’s look together to the Bible and, ultimately, to Jesus Christ as the perfect fulfillment of the commandment we forgot.

Ama Como Si Nunca Te Hubieran – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartEl corazon humano fue creado con una gran capacidad para amar. Pero con eso viene una gran capacidad para sentir dolor. No hay que negar que aquellos que nos aman, los que estan mas cerca de nosotros, son quienes pueden herirnos mas profundamente. Esa clase de dolor puede ser dificil, si no imposible de superar. Y puede sentirse aun mas imposible seguir amando frente a el. Y eso es exactamente lo que estamos llamados a hacer.
Compartiendo su propia historia de dolor personal, el Pastor Jentezen Franklin nos muestra como encontrar la fuerza, el valor y la motivacion para poner a un lado la herida, ver a otros como Dios los ve, y acercarnos en amor. A traves de historias biblicas y actuales, el discute diferentes tipos de decepciones y angustias en las relaciones, y responde a preguntas como: Por que debo confiar otra vez? Como podre alguna vez perdonar realmente?

Aqui estan las herramientas que necesitas para derribar esas paredes, trabajar en tus heridas, reparar relaciones maltrechas, y aprender a amar como si nunca te hubieran herido.
The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do.
Sharing his own story of personal pain, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love. Through biblical and modern-day stories, he discusses different types of relational disappointment and heartache, and answers questions such as Why should I trust again? and How can I ever really forgive?
The walls we build around our hearts to cut us off from pain are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing, and feeling love. Here are the tools and inspiration you need to tear down those walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships, and learn to love like you’ve never been hurt.

Resent For Parents

Holy Labor : How Childbirth Shapes A Woman’s Soul
$18.99Add to cartWomen are valued for their ability to bear children in many cultures. The birth process, though supposedly the most painful experience of a woman’s life, is seen as a necessary evil to achieve the end goal of children and motherhood.
And yet, in the face of a typically masculinized Christianity that nevertheless professes that women are equally created in the image of God, shouldn’t childbirth–a uniquely feminine experience–itself shape Christian women’s souls and teach them about the heart of the God they love and follow?
Drawing on her own experience of giving birth and motherhood–and the conflicting assumptions attached to them, by Christians and the culture at large–Aubry G. Smith presents a richly scriptural exploration of common conceptions about pregnancy and childbirth that will not only help mothers and soon-to-be mothers understand how to think biblically about birth, but also walks them through how to put the ideas into practice in their own lives. Along the way, she shows all readers how to see God’s own experience of the birth process–and how childbirth leads to a deeper understanding of the gospel overall.

Hijos Exitosos – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartSi maana fuera tu ultimo dia en la tierra, que les ensearias a tus hijos? Todo padre, durante su vida, ha aprendido lecciones que les aseguraria el exito a sus hijos si las compartiera con ellos.
El Dr. Sixto Porras, en sus experiencias interviniendo en relaciones entre padres e hijos, ha descubierto un detalle unico. Aun cuando los padres educan a sus hijos y son su ejemplo, se les escapa sembrar en ellos aquellos aprendizajes recibidos de la vida misma, que les dieron, fuerza, aplomo, y grandes resultados. Esas experiencias que se convirtieron en sabiduria es lo que tus hijos necesitan oir para alcanzar el exito. Sixto Porras, con el profundo conocimiento que le caracteriza, te invita a pensar: Que le ensearias a tu hijo sobre la vida, que le sirva para alcanzar la vida que desea? Cuales son las lecciones que no debes irte sin compartir?
If tomorrow were your last day here, what would you teach your children? Every parent, as life goes on, has learned some lesson that would help his children to live a successful life, if they only knew.
Dr. Sixto Porras, through his experiences with parent-child relationships, has discovered a unique truth: Even when parents are good role models and educate their children faithfully, they rarely consider imprinting their children with the life lessons that shaped their characters for good and helped them to live better. Life experiences that turned into wisdom are exactly the lessons your children need to learn in order to conquer life. That is real life wisdom; they should not miss it. Sixto Porras challenges you to ask yourself: What should you teach your children about life to ensure they will live successfully? What are the lessons you cannot afford not to share with them?
