Introduccion Al Aseoramiento P – (Spanish)
$22.99La perdida de valores morales que llevan a considerar todo desde una perspectiva groseramente relativista; la situacion social y economica tan critica que lleva a tratar de protegernos de cualquier manera posible; el materialismo contemporaneo que nos hace creer que teniendo mas cosas seremos mas felices; y otros muchos aspectos similares, han provocado una crisis que se refleja y tiene sus efectos en la pareja y familia contemporanea.

Asi pues, y desde la perspectiva cristiana, en este libro el Dr. Maldonado presenta los elementos basicos de la asesoria, los criterios que serviran para identificar a una familia sana e ir hacia ella, y las metas que se deben perseguir al asesorar y que serviran al asesor o consejero para promover el sano crecimiento tanto de la pareja como de la familia. Porque, a final de cuentas, la familia no es solamente el lugar donde encontramos refugio y alimento. La familia, por sobre todo, es el lugar donde nos formamos como y donde somos verdaderamente humanos y cristianos.

I Hate School
$18.99When we take our children to the shoe store and the shoes don’t fit, we don’t change their feet. We keep shopping until we find shoes that fit the feet. Education offers very few styles of “shoes.” When a child’s foot won’t fit the shoe the school offers, the school often insists that the foot be changed. But what happens when you force children’s feet into uncomfortable and ill-fitting shoes and make them walk around in them? As soon as they possibly can, they take the shoes off, vowing never to put them on again. This book offers practical strategies for finding an education that fits the child instead of insisting that this precious and uniquely designed child must always adjust to the education provided. It offers suggestions on how to find out in what physical environment and how your child learns best. This doesn’t mean that every child needs an individually tailored education. Very few people can afford to have every pair of shoes specifically made for them. But, if we recognize and appreciate the natural individual learning styles of our children, we can broaden the variety of shoes in every educational closet. This easy-to-understand book encourages parents to choose the right school for their child and then to navigate the often complex paths of that school to obtain the best possible education for their child.

How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team
$19.99“It’s not what you think that will impact your child; it’s what you communicate.” What are you telling your kids? Are you telling them that their crises are trivial and their ideas are foolish? Probably not in so many words, but you may be communicating just that with your lack of interest in the day-to-day activities of your child. To keep your children on your team, Charles Stanley asserts, you must assure them from the start that you are on theirs. Focusing on the parental role as one of stewardship rather than ownership, Stanley instructs parents on how to ingrain a sense of personal accountability to God into the minds of children at an early age. By doing so, parents can raise confident, self-controlled kids who will hold fast to the values they instill.

Upside Down Marriage
$27.48Just for fun let’s view our marriages like a coach would view building a successful athletic team… We have to decide whether or not we are going to be spectators or players. Watching a basketball game is fun. Attending a pep rally for our favorite team is exciting. Having season tickets is nice. But this is one game we do not want to be sitting in the stands watching others play the game. We do not want to be on the sidelines cheering for our team or for our families. This is one game, one adventure we want to come away with sweat on our brow, dirt on our pants, soreness in our muscles, and a heart filled with excitement. We do not want to be left behind while other couples move ahead in their marriages. Marriage is the adventure of a lifetime. The game of all games. The sport of all sports. A healthy marriage, a healthy home is worth the price. It is worth the hard work. It is worth the sweat equity. It is one game we should not mind getting banged up and bruised. It is one game in which we do not want to miss the practices. We will become better husbands due to the hard work and the practicing.

To Prepare Or To Protect
$20.61Books on how to be good parents fly off bookstore shelves by the millions. Daytime talk shows are filled with advice on how to raise children. Troubled parents need not look very far to find parenting advice. Still, teenage violence, domestic abuse, depression, and suicide remain disturbingly high. Perhaps we need to find a way to merge contemporary parental concerns with the teachings of God. The battle cry in many churches today is one of segregation, building a wall between our children and a dangerous world. The problem is that children see the world as a vast place of opportunity, not as an evil fortress waiting to devour them. Parents consequently are torn between advice to shield and protect their children from the world and allowing children to make mistakes to find their way. To Prepare or Protect offers parents a direction that removes this either/or dilemma. The book’s aim is to help parents recognize and teach their children timeless principles that will prepare them for life in a world that is not always perfect. Most importantly, parents will learn to enjoy their children in a way they only dreamed possible, and will develop a greater confidence that their children will be able to forge a productive path for themselves through a difficult world.
