Refocus : Living A Life That Reflects Gods Heart
$19.99Add to cartWritten by Jim Daly, the compassionate leader of Focus on the Family, ReFocus inspires and motivates Christians to transcend political agendas and partisan battles and instead interact with others in a way that will consistently reveal the heart of God to a desperately hurting world.
Our culture has become painfully polarized, often hindering relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and the very people who need to discover the love of Jesus Christ. Remembering that we are foremost citizens of heaven serving a loving Father, we who call ourselves followers of Christ can once again be known by our love.
But how? In what context and through what means? How can we tear down the walls that divide our culture, our neighborhoods and workplaces and families, in this increasingly contentious world?
Drawing on a rich variety of true stories and sources both historical and contemporary–from behind the scenes in today’s halls of power, to moving accounts from church history, to powerful breakthroughs in Daly’s own life and ministry–Daly challenges us to reclaim our responsibility, and our privilege, as God’s sons and daughters.
As followers of Jesus with His humility and compassion as our model, ReFocus: Living a Life that Reflects God’s Heart demonstrates how Christians can show the world an inexplicable taste of grace with no agenda other than to reveal the heart of God as the loving Abba Father He is.

Cuando La Crianza No Es Perfec – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartLa perfeccion es el enemigo de la crianza de los hijos. Jim Daly es testigo de como las madres y los padres se esfuerzan por buscar la perfeccion. Escuchan a los expertos y leen los mejores libros. Cuando alguien les regala una taza que dice la mejor mama del mundo o el papa no. 1 desean que eso sea verdad. Y anhelan que sus hijos tambien busquen la perfeccion.Es admirable que lleguen a ser los mejores mamas y papas que puedan ser para sus hijos. Pero a veces al hacerlo, dejan de lado la gracia, tanto para si mismos como para sus hijos. Jim cree que nuestra busqueda de la perfeccion, la cual el considera es particularmente fuerte entre los cristianos, va en contra del don de la gracia infinita de Dios. Podemos convertirnos en padres fariseos, citando reglas interminables y estableciendo estandares imposibles de alcanzar. Pero Dios no quiere que seamos perfectos, ni tampoco nuestros hijos necesitan serlo. Como padres, estamos llamados a hacer nuestro mejor esfuerzo. Y cuando fallamos, tenemos la obligacion de volver a intentarlo.Aunque Jim es el presidente de Enfoque a la familia, no promete que su libro sera un catalizador para una familia perfecta. Pero puede guiar el camino hacia una buena familia, que se sienta segura y calida, llena de amor y sonrisas. Este libro animara a madres y padres a aceptar el caos de la paternidad y mostrar gracia a sus hijos aunque no sean perfectos. A traves de sus propias experiencias, conocimientos e historias, Jim guiara a mamas y papas hacia una mejor comprension de lo que es ser una buena familia.

When Parenting Isnt Perfect
$19.99Add to cartPerfection is the enemy of parenting. Jim Daly sees and hears from mothers and fathers trying hard to pursue perfection. They listen to the best experts and read all the right books. When someone gives them a “World’s Best Mom” or “No. 1 Dad” coffee mug, they want it to be true. And they want their children to pursue perfection, too.
It’s admirable for parents to be the very best moms and dads they can be for their children. But sometimes in so doing, they leave grace behind-both for themselves and their children. Jim believes that our quest for perfection, a quest that he believes is particularly strong among Christians, runs counter to God’s own boundless gift of grace. We can become Pharisaical parents, quoting endless rules and holding everyone to impossible standards. But God doesn’t want us, and our kids don’t need us, to be perfect. As parents, we’re called to simply do our best. And when we fail-which we will-we’re called to try again tomorrow.
Though he’s the President of Focus on the Family, Jim does not promise that his book will be a catalyst for a perfect family. But it can help point the way toward a good family-one that feels safe and warm; one filled with love and laughter. This book will encourage mothers and fathers to embrace the messiness of parenthood and show grace to their own less-than-ideal children. Jim, through his own experiences, expertise, and array of stories, will lead both moms and dads to a better understanding of what being a good family is all about.
