This new edition of the book features:

– A new introduction from the creators sharing what they’ve learned from the more than 100,000 couples who’ve used the book in real life.
– New bonus sections with questions on parenting and faith and spirituality

This is a book for all couples–new and old, married for the first time, or maybe even the second–who want to keep learning about each other. Wherever you are on your love journey, these questions will help guide, protect, and nurture that love, one day and one question at a time.

Mothers Children And The Body Politic
$26.00Add to cartHow we talk about human life matters.
In western post-Christian society, humans are thought of less like precious image bearers and more like commodities. The canary in the coal mine of this ideological shift is often women and children, which manifests itself in the seemingly built-in disdain towards motherhood and children for their lack of production of economically valuable goods.
However, the risk of this utilitarian approach to human life is not just outside the church, but within those spaces as well. Indeed, the commodification of human life within the contemporary body politic is so deeply embedded within the systems, even the church has lost touch with some of the ways it inherently devalues the lives of women and children.
Classics scholar Nadya Williams draws from voices both ancient and modern to illuminate how Christians can value human life amidst an empire that seeks to dehumanize that which is most precious. Bringing insights from the beliefs and practices of the early church in Greco-Roman context about motherhood, raising children, and human life, Williams suggests there is a way to recapture a vision that affirms the imago Dei in each person over and above our economic contribution to society.

Family Discipleship That Works
$18.00Add to cartFamily discipleship is one of the most basic ways God has ordained to build his kingdom-and yet most parents struggle to do it consistently.
Amid our busyness, the multitude of different approaches, and our own self-doubts, the deck seems stacked against us. But Brian Dembowczyk isn’t here to pile on the guilt or to make us feel like failures. As a parent himself, he knows this struggle firsthand.
In Family Discipleship That Works, Dembowczyk says that the goal of discipling our kids isn’t just passing along head knowledge. It’s teaching them to act like Jesus. The Bible itself is not just a story but a drama in which we ourselves participate, and our kids have roles to play too. Dembowczyk offers practical advice and a wealth of ideas for teaching our kids to imitate the character traits of Jesus himself as we “act out” the Christian life together.
As parents, we are indeed called to disciple our children to know and act like Jesus. By God’s grace, that’s a task we can do-not out of guilt but with joy and good hope.
Family Discipleship That Works . . .
*Invites parents into more active family discipleship without judgmentalism, but with grace and understanding
*Presents “imitating Jesus” as a new model for understanding and enacting family discipleship
*Includes practical, achievable advice for parents to live out these principles in their homes

Youll Make It And They Will Too
$17.00Add to cartA lifeline of hope for parents of teens who feel adrift on the real and raw parenting journey, presented with wisdom and faith–and a touch of candid humor–from seasoned educator, mother, and Today Parenting contributor Amy Betters-Midtvedt.
As a mom with five kids ages twelve to twenty-two living at home, Amy Betters-Midtvedt found that parenting teens challenged everything she thought it meant to be a “good” mom. But in the unraveling came the building of something new and more beautiful than she could have imagined: an incredible sense of love, hope, joy, and relationship–even in the mess.
You’ll Make It (and They Will Too) is as much about navigating the minefields of anxiety and mental health as it is setting curfews, convincing kids to bring their dishes back to the kitchen, and deciding whose turn it is to have the car keys. It’s about dancing in the kitchen with soon-to-be adult kids who are taller than you. It’s making appointments with a therapist and a college admissions counselor in the same week. It’s helping your kids cling to faith even as they reject the pew on Sunday mornings.
Through stories steeped in hope and prayer of both her professional and personal parenting journey, Amy shares:
– words of comfort for when you feel alone, together with wisdom and strategies that will help you to not just survive the sleepless nights, but also to thrive as a stronger family unit
– prayers to draw on God’s strength when everything feels overwhelming
– a path forward with your teenagers that brings you into a lifelong loving relationship
– ways to celebrate the beauty in your teens in all that they are, just as God made them
Each chapter will leave you equipped, encouraged, and less alone by guiding you through how to listen to your own heart when parenting your precious teen.

You are welcome.
No one is a stranger to loneliness. Despite how social we are via text, chat, and notifications, we are far from being truly connected. We all want someone else to really see us and choose us for who we are. We want a place to finally fit in. But what if finding the right people or the right place is not the answer?
From her community-building background, Sarah E. Westfall takes our longing to belong as an invitation to embrace and extend the deep love of God. After years contemplating how she fit in and trying to earn acceptance, she realized “belonging is not something to attain, but someone to become.” Through narrative, research, Scripture, and spiritual practice, she teaches how belonging is a way of being-a posture of welcome in the spirit of the Father who extends his arms to those returning and those who don’t yet know they’ve resisted his love.
Whether you understand the perspective of the outsider in need of acceptance well or you’re eager to include, the barriers to belonging can come down as Sarah gently guides us toward deep connection-a connection where our humanity draws us closer to people and envelops us in the heart of God. Embark with Sarah on this challenge that will awaken your empathy and affirm you with the truth of these words: “You are welcome.”

These hands-on, kinda dangerous, totally unforgettable object lessons (along with nearly fifty others) are not only more fun than other family devotions–they actually deliver the spiritual impact you desire for your kids. So get out the safety goggles and start bringing the truths of Scripture to vivid life in your household. Just remember to change out of your Sunday clothes first.

$17.99Add to cartForces OUTSIDE You Can’t Stop the God WITHIN You
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and limited by the demands on your life as a mom. Your heart’s cry is for God to use you, but at the end of the day, you don’t have much left to give.
But what if the limits on your life could be overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit?
With humor, vulnerability, and stories of her own limited life as a mom of five–two of whom struggle with severe autism–pastor and podcaster Jessica Hurlbut ignites hope in the hearts of overwhelmed moms to believe that God has more. Revealing 12 limits that hinder mothers–very real things like exhaustion, distractions, and disillusionment–Jessica empowers you to respond in obedience rather than react in emotions. From there she will teach you how to recognize and follow the Holy Spirit’s lead so you can experience the abundant life Jesus promised rather than the just-getting-by life we tend to settle for.
No matter your circumstances, God sees you, knows you, and has more for your life–even amid the crazy season of motherhood.

New Marriage Same Couple Workbook (Workbook)
$19.99Add to cartFor better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. We say those words and mean them. Until we don’t. This is a workbook about creating a different, better, new kind of marriage with the exact same person-no matter how dire the circumstances-with vision, commitment, and hope in the Lord.
Remember those early days of love? When your heart felt all fluttery, and you saw your person through rose-colored glasses? They could do no wrong. You were going to have the most beautiful life with big adventures and lots of sex. Of course, everyone says marriage is work, you knew that. But that was okay; you could get through anything together. It was going to be great.Until it wasn’t.
Something happened. Or maybe nothing happened. Maybe it was one big something, or a lot of little somethings over many years that landed you in a marriage you hardly recognize. For Josh and Katie Walters, it was a big something: infidelity. Now they counsel couples who find themselves exactly where they were: lost, hopeless, and unsure of how to fix their marriage.
This accompanying workbook to New Marriage, Same Couple lays out the principles Josh and Katie learned in that season when God healed and restored their marriage. This process is broken into four parts and is an acronym for the word STAY:
*S-start with you. (Discovering that when one person changes, the entire relationship changes.)
*T-take quitting off the table. (Bringing your whole self to the solution and not checking out mentally and emotionally.)
*A-allow others to be a part of your journey. (Trusting the right people, in the right ways, at the right time.)
*Y-yield to vision. (Looking past what is and imagining what could be.)
New Marriage, Same Couple Workbook will help establish hope in a couple’s marriage. And it will show them how to create a brand-new marriage, whether they’ve been married for a short time, or for decades.

Parenting : The Complex And Beautiful Vocation Of Raising Children
$21.99Add to cartBooks on parenting abound, with many suggesting that specific strategies will produce desired results. Gifted theologian Holly Taylor Coolman offers something different: a theologically and biblically rich commentary on the theme of raising children.
As a mother of five who is known for approaching parenting in a theological way, Coolman is often asked for advice. In this book, she explores parenting as a complex and beautiful vocation in which mothers and fathers themselves are made and unmade, offered troubling sorts of gifts, and drawn deeper into connection not only with their children but also with God, others, and themselves. Coolman describes child-rearing as a vocation to which parents are called that requires them to develop the skills of apprenticeship and invitation. She also locates raising children firmly within the context of the church.
This book will appeal to Christian parents, especially adoptive and foster parents, as well as pastors, church leaders, and students.

While I Breathe
$15.99Add to cartThere are some circumstances that no baby manual or parenting guide could ever prepare you for. WHILE I BREATHE is the gripping true story of how a first-time mother and her baby fought together for survival.
When Susan became pregnant in the winter of 1994, she had a loving husband, a stable home, a life of faith, and soon, a baby to complete the picture of a perfect life. But everything changed the day she was rushed to the hospital for an emergency C-section a full two months before her due date.
Born weighing just two and a half pounds with a heart defect and Down syndrome, baby Ryan was given little odds of surviving his first few days. But he proved to be a fighter whose birth heralded the start of a tumultuous battle for survival.
In their quest to save Ryan’s life, Susan and her husband navigated a dizzying maze of hospitals, doctors, treatments, and seemingly endless setbacks – eventually finding themselves going head-to-head against the overreaching, all-powerful authority of the medical establishment itself.
WHILE I BREATHE is a raw, poignant exploration of adversity, family, crisis, love, loss and faith. It is a study of seeking light amid darkness and grace amid sorrow, and of the unconditional love between a mother and her child, a magical little boy who forever changed the hearts of everyone who came into his orbit.

Get The Guy
$15.95Add to cart“Is he a hard worker? Does he have a job? Is he strong? Is he courageous? Do other men respect him? You should want a man that you believe is fully capable of taking you on. And if you are a handful, then he needs to be a masculine handful.” From the book
This book is a collection of letters to a fictional young woman looking for advice on what kind of man to marry. Douglas Wilson offers the kind of advice he has giving young women for decades. A woman should not feel shame about wanting someone who is strong and capable of leading her. In fact, a woman should want someone who has the backbone to lead her, even when she does not want to be led. Beyond that, it’s best not to overcomplicate things. Women should guard their hearts in the courtship process, not letting their imaginations get ahead of them, and trusting that God will take care of everything else.

She Deserves Better
$29.99Add to cartWhat if the goal of raising a Christian girl was about more than keeping her virginity intact? What if it was about raising a strong, independent young woman who knows who she is, uses her voice, and confidently steps into the life God has for her?

This isn’t your average parenting book: no pat answers or overly broad principles here. No cliche prescriptives or toxic teachings that your daughter will have to unpack and recover from as an adult, like so many of us have. Instead, you’ll find data-driven insights about how to raise a woman who is resilient, knows her strength, and has the discernment skills needed to make good choices. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a girl who can navigate the difficult waters of growing up while still clinging tight to the God who created her on purpose, for a purpose.
