“Lord, here am I. Change him.”
“God, I’m trying. She started it.”Common claims but they’re so far from Trinitarian life. We invoke Christ at the wedding then seem to default to an alien theology afterward.
In this simple and practical book, Doug Wilson offers a richer and more comprehensive theology of marriage than in his prior works. Here he grounds marriage in the life of the Trinity and in the life of the church. Marriage is intended to be a glorious picture of the gospel, and marriages grounded elsewhere regularly create a small hell on earth. Don’t miss the riches of marriage.

Home By Choice
$19.99Add to cartIt’s one of the toughest choices a mother will ever make: to “work” or be a full-time mother? It is also a long-running debate between moms who feel they contribute more to society at work than at home and those who feel mothering is not just a full-time job but a calling. In this newly repackaged, expanded, and updated edition of Home by Choice, national authority Dr. Brenda Hunter brings research to the discussion table, arguing that no one can replace the care a mother provides. As kids grow up with parental presence, she says, they develop a sense of home that will serve them all their lives. Dr. Hunter speaks directly to moms, addressing their unique concerns-such as financial pressure, support from husbands, and personal fulfillment. She makes a well-reasoned case for the enduring effects of a mother’s love.

His own marriage of almost fifty years ended in the passing of his wife. He has since remarried. He and Lily together have a music ministry. D. J. “Pop-Pop” Wooten, as he is now often affectionately called, has studied churches and homes for the long years in his service to God.

Welcoming Children : A Practical Theology Of Childhood
$34.99Add to cartWelcoming Children develops a theology of childhood both from a theological perspective and from practical experience in children and youth ministry. The author draws insights from classic and modern feminist theologians, pastoral theologians, and contemporary cultural criticism to offer strategies for educational and liturgical practices in congregations that welcome children and contribute to their flourishing. Mercer outlines a feminist practical theology of childhood exploring five basic theological claims: 1) children as gifts and parenting as a religious practice of stewardship; 2) welcoming those who care for children; 3) children as fully human; 4) children as part of God’s purposes; and 5) acknowledging and transforming the sufferings of children. Her compelling argument reframes ministries with children as processes through which the church can become the foundation for children forming identities that resist consumerist culture and instead walk in the ways of Jesus.

Rainbows : The Beauty In A Storm
$15.49Add to cartRainbow, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, means: “An arc of color appearing opposite the sun as a result of the sunlight in rain or mist.” God used a rainbow as a covenant with Noah after the flood destroyed the earth. Ms. Schiager was aware of her daughter Christina’s eating problem and had done everything she knew to do to help. She prayed for God to use whatever method necessary to show Christina her need for help. God answered this prayer far differently than she had ever imagined. During the year that followed, information came to light that changed every life in this family forever. Ms. Schiager writes of the devastating realities that came to light, how the Lord brought her through it victoriously, how her relationship with Christ deepened through it all, and how she learned to trust God’s will in everything. She tells about many answered prayers and blessings that she experienced through it all. She describes it this way: “This past year has definitely been the stormiest in my life, but there were so many rainbows, I was compelled to share them. My rainbows are a result of the Son’s presence in my life during the storms.”
