Becoming Your Spouses Better Half (Reprinted)
$14.99Add to cartIt’s no secret that men and women are different. And it’s no secret that they don’t always get along because of these differences, even when they love each other. But having a successful marriage is not about finding the perfect person to marry. It’s about loving someone in an unselfish, Christlike manner. Whatever we want out of marriage–unconditional love, forgiveness, passion–that is what we have to give to our spouse. Rick Johnson shows couples how to go beyond merely tolerating each other’s differences to using those God-given differences to add spice and passion to their relationship.

Irrevocable Purpose Of A Woman In Life
$13.49Add to cartThis book is a wake-up call to all who have decided to reject the basic truth of God’s Word because of the tradition they have adopted, rendering the Word of God about marriage less effective. His Word says a man will definitely need a helper on his journey through life. The only precise and adequate helper the almighty God has provided is the precious woman; no other choice is appropriate. If you do choose a different helper, it is against God’s principle of life. A life without a woman is incomplete.

Always A Wedding
$24.99Add to cartPlan the marriage and not just the wedding!
“Dr. Collins has the unique gift of guiding couples from planning a ceremony to establishing a happy and lasting marriage. His wisdom and joy did this for us 23 years ago” Hunter and Missy Keith
“While planning our wedding, Dr. Collins opened our eyes to view marriage as a covenant and not just a legal contract. We have our agreements of ‘Fighting Fair’ framed on our bedroom wall to remind us that love is patient, kind, and keeps no record of wrongs once forgiven.” Billy and Brittany Glynn
“We just wanted to get married when we met with Dr. Collins in 1988. However, our premarital counseling led us to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ who made our Covenant of Marriage possible. We used our chalice for communion in our wedding to witness Christ as the central person in our lives.” John and Teri McIntyre
“Our marriage was blessed from the start when the Lord brought us to Dr. Collins. He taught us the ‘Four Goals of Marriage’ which have encouraged us to grow together with our Lord as the third person in our Covenant. We are realizing the true gift and joy of a happy marriage.” Dan and Denise Flynn

Why Are So Many Relationships Falling
$33.95Add to cartMost all our relationships go something like this. Even though you can see something good in the other person, you only get glimpses of the good. It is like being in a jail cell next to each other; reaching through the bars to hold hands maybe even steal a kiss, but you cannot embrace that good person. Some go so far as to have sex, but not really embrace, like most married couples are doing today.
Most of us have taken that risk, taken the chance on a relationship with that special someone. However, too often one or the other gets hurt, feels frustrated, and walks away without trying to understand why this is happening. It hurts so bad it feels like your insides are being torn out of your body. This is not a physical pain, but the spiritual and emotional separation that hurts physically. Somewhere through the pain we make up our minds consciously or subconsciously that no one will ever hurt us like that again.
Jesus said to confess our sins to one another so that we may be healed. We usually try to bury our pain and think we have forgiven our offenders. Jesus’ way is to deal directly with the pain.
Rose Kennedy was a smart women she said, “It has been said ‘time heals all wounds’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time the mind (protecting it’s sanity), covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but is never gone.”
Jesus did not come to tell us how to live with our pain, He came to heal us of the pain.

Why Is Collin Like That
$25.99Add to cartMy story begins with a very unhappy baby boy, screaming day and night. My son, Collin, was diagnosed with PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder), under the Autistic spectrum, by the age of two. As Collin grew, the unmasking of his disorders did also. PDD, ADHD and OCD were among them. So began my new career as “doctor” stay at home mom.
I remember a seminar I attended a couple years ago with my mother. Questions from concerned parents swarmed the room like bees around a disturbed hive. The presenter addressed everyone patiently. He calmly said, “Listen, most importantly, you are looking for very peculiar behaviors.” My mother turned to me and said with a sigh of relief, “Well, thank God Collin doesn’t have any of those.” I looked at her so strange and replied, “Yeah, mom, you’re right. His sucking on batteries, throwing away silverware, keeping the spoons under his mattress and licking his hands while “grooming” his face is certainly not peculiar. I think we are safe…” We burst out laughing.
My daughter, Karlie, is a beautiful and loving little girl. Unfortunately, it took me a few years to discover how much she had taken on emotionally being the “big sister”. As parents, we do not always recognize just how much children are affected when it comes to having a sibling with a disability. Just the simple task of watching television together can be so hard for them. As parents, we need to raise awareness on the affects our “non-disabled” children deal with every day. Many prayerful nights have been spent attempting to communicate these issues to others. Prayerfully, this book will help you and His children. God hears you…and I HEAR YOU!

Infinite Playlists : How To Have Conversations Not Conflict With Your Kids
$7.70Add to cartWith the easy availability and abundance of downloadable music and MP3 players, almost every teenager knows exactly how to find their favorite bands and songs online. Recent studies show that more than 50 percent of teens own their own iPod and even more search for music on iTunes. A world of influence is at their fingertips, so how and when should Christian parents monitor the music their children are listening to without creating undue conflict and argument? For author Todd Stocker, the day his son asked his preference between Van Halen and Def Leppard was the day he realized he and his son needed to have the “music talk.” Infinite Playlists is a handy guide to healthy conversation between parents and kids. Writing as both father and music-lover, Stocker calls parents to recognize music as a gift from God so they can help their kids determine the emotional, physical, and spiritual influences of their song choices. He offers a balanced look at the difference between Christian and secular music, and gives practical guidelines parents and kids can follow to choose appropriate music-together. Competing titles may try to convince parents to hate or reject secular music or, alternately, convince them that Christian music is the only way to go. Infinite Playlists does neither, seeking first to provide parents with an understanding of God’s purpose for music, then to provide biblical and respectful guidelines to aid responsible music choices. Ultimately, the goal is healthy conversation-not conflict-between parents and children so everyone can see and appreciate what music can teach us about life, about God, about others, about relationships, and about the world.

Bequest : A Fifty Year Journey To Find A Birth Father
$18.99Add to cartFebruary 1998
I have a growing sense of who is my biological father. I may never know for sure in this life even though some circumstances are formidable indicators. There are still questions and the need for proof positive.March 2001
When I explained my problem to the lab director, and what I had available to work with, he was somewhat dubious. The analysis of envelopes and stamps that had crossed an ocean and been stored in a box for sixty years might be problematic. He told me he would attempt an analysis. He would need a sample of my DNA.May 2001
Several weeks went by. Then, Friday evening, May 28, 2001, I was mowing the grass in the side yard. At exactly 7:34 p.m. Mary came out on the deck with the white kitchen phone saying the call was for me. “It’s the lab.”For many years, Donald E. Kersemeier wondered about the identity of his biological father. The results of the analysis forever changed his life.

Gods Wisdom For Marriage And The Home
$23.99Add to cartThrough wisdom is an house builded; And by understanding it is established. Proverbs 24:3
Brethren, how important is it for us to know, understand, and follow God’s wisdom concerning the home? Certainly all of us in one manner or another, either as a child, as a spouse, as a parent, or as a sibling, have had, and may yet have, a relationship with the home. In fact, most of us expect to have some relationship with the home for the entire extent of our lives. Thus the home is a significant element of our lives from beginning to end. Furthermore, the marriage relationship itself is of primary significance in most of our lives. Yes, our Lord does indeed call some to be single. Yet the majority of us will enter into the marriage relationship, and for most of us that relationship will extend over the majority of our lives. Yea, even before we enter into the marriage relationship, we generally spend some period of time thinking about, planning for, and developing relationships that might lead to marriage. Thus the marriage relationship is indeed a significant element in our lives. Finally, the marriage and home relationships are the foundational building block of society. As goes the marriage, so goes the home. As goes the home; so goes the church, and so goes the country. Since marriage and the home are so significant to our existence in this present life, certainly it is of great importance that we find trustworthy guidance concerning their success. How much more trustworthy guidance may we find than that of the wisdom of the Lord our God!

Skunk Tales is a book of true short stories written by a mother about her small family. These original tales teach valuable character lessons from her life experiences. In 2002 Lynn and her son Alex moved from Florida to Texas and lived at a retreat center in the hill country. Their new life in the country along with their passion for the open air resulted with them encountering animals of various shapes, sizes, and scents. These new, unfamiliar experiences proved to be novel opportunities of learning and adventure. What a surprise it was when they arrived at their new home and discovered a strange foul odor about their house! Later they would learn that they had some uninvited quests. The close proximity of wildlife challenged Lynn to look at her life in a more meaningful way. This period of reflection resulted in her desire to share with others chapters of her life. In Skunk Tales Lynn writes about how God miraculously guided and cared for her and her son and compares these lessons to their observations of the various animals they observed. Flash is the story about the day they were raking leaves near the pond at the camp and a fox ran into the brush and dropped its food. Later that day Alex rushed through his school work and Lynn reminded him of the fox they had seen earlier in the day and encouraged him to pace himself with his studies. This opportunity prompted them to study the habitat and behaviors of the fox and all the important lessons they could learn from its example. Digger is the story about curiosity and staying on task. During their evening camp duties Lynn and her son decided to stop working to observe a skunk they had spotted. The skunk dug himself into a hole.

Candy For All Seasons
$14.99Add to cartWhen I was just a little girl, I began to hear about Jesus. I learned wonderful songs of how he walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. And how to Trust and Obey for there is no other way. And a little light that was ‘mine’ I was supposed to let it shine. As I began to grow up I had many questions in my heart. I loved Jesus there was no question of that. But I never really understood how He could walk with me and talk with me, or what it meant to truly trust and obey. And I was not sure at all about having a light that would shine. God used candy to help teach me the answers to many of these questions. He became real to me through the years of seeking Him, in how to share Him with others, so they could truly know Him and experience Him, without pretence. I invite you into the world of A Candy Ministry where candy becomes the focal point. (Candy is a non-threatening (focal point/subject) to begin sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others). Where candy is coded not coated so it melts in your heart not your hands. You will experience messages that will speak to the nature of the heart of the child inside of you, no matter your age. This touch, taste, and feel ministry is brought to you with the hope that you will have a better understanding of God and His love for you. I pray as you read this book that you will experience “life changes”. We experience trials of many kinds and need support and encouragement as we go through them. Candy messages offer a new way to look at things based on God’s word.

Dress For Anna
$16.95Add to cartEvery little girl loves a pretty new dress, and my daughter Anna was no exception. Trembling with emotion, she ripped open the department store bag that contained her new dress, tights, shoes, and undergarments. Then she pulled out the lavender floral print dress, caressing the silk lining and rubbing her face in the soft fabric.
?Platya,? she whispered. Dress. The quiet was only momentary, though as the reality of the situation sank in. ?Platya,? she then cheered. ?Halya doma.? Halya is going home.
Although it was the first time in her life that she had ever owned any piece of clothing, it was not the dress that brought such emotion, but what it represented. The new dress meant that it was finally the day that Halya (whom we would name Anna) would leave the orphanage and travel home to live with her new family. It was a day she had awaited for over three years, and a day that I had worked for nearly as long.
A Dress for Anna: The Redemption of the Life of a Ukrainian Orphan tells the fascinating story of how God led Deborah and Rob Amend to adopt a handicapped preschooler from an orphanage in Ukraine, and intricately knit her into their family. Beginning with the circumstances that opened their hearts to adoption, continuing through the entire process, and culminating with the difficult adjustments for Anna as she experiences life in a new culture, this book honestly shares the struggles, grief, and joy the Amend family faced as they followed God down the rocky path of international adoption.
This powerful narrative not only provides readers with a clear understanding of the often challenging aspects of adoption, particularly for special needs children, it also offers inspiration by illustrating just how much an average, ordinary family can do when listening to God and following His call.

On Becoming Pre-Toddlerwise
$13.95Add to cartYou help your son blow out his first birthday candle and Great Aunt Lilly proclaims, “He’s a toddler now!” Not so fast! The period between 12 and 18 months places a child on a one-way bridge to the future. Infancy is a thing of the past, and toddlerhood is straight ahead. A baby still? Not really, but neither is he a toddler; and that is the key to understanding this phase of growth. Take a couple of photos, because the child leaving infancy will not resemble the child entering toddlerhood six months down the road. This is a period of metamorphosis when his potential for learning seems limitless, his budding curiosity unquenchable and his energy level steadily growing.
This is also a period of great exchange: baby food is exchanged for table food; the highchair for booster seat; finger feeding replaced with spoon; babbling sounds will transition to speaking; the first unsteady steps are conquered by strides of confidence, and the list goes on. -

Father For Our Father
$16.49Add to cartA Father for Our Father The Foundation for a Flourishing Family We are losing the battle for our children!! Family is no longer defined as father, mother, and child and this trend must stop!! “Dysfunction” is the buzzword describing our families. Rather than fight this trend, we are accepting it. The cultural shift from a God-fearing, family-oriented society has forced our children to fend for themselves. Our children are depending on us to do the right thing and, frankly, they deserve better than we are giving them. Consider the facts: * 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes * 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes * 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes These are just a few of the shocking statistics linked to the impact of a missing father in the lives of our children. In A Father for Our Father, we will discover how the “Lord’s Prayer” is more than an outline for prayer but also an outline for establishing a flourishing family. While this book is written with men in mind, women will discover the vital role they play in facilitating the changes necessary for men to become who they were created to be. And young men will find help defining their future roles as well. We will discuss the reference, the motivation, the role, and the calling that is unique to men, and clearly identify their responsibilities. Join me in discovering the power and influence that only you possess. We can restore our families! We can reverse this trend! Learn what it means to be A Father for Our Father!
