10 Great Dates

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Isn’t marriage supposed to point us to God and teach us to be more like Christ, and if so, how do you strengthen your soul and build the soul of your marriage at the same time? This wonderfully written book takes what often is an elusive and mysterious discipline for couples and provides 10 life-building opportunities to move past the mundane of life and get to what really matters. Experience it!”

In Their Shoes

Marriage, Family & Relationships

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Money and Marriage God's Way

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Finally a Christian resource that speaks to the financial needs of married and remarried couples alike. Your marital intimacy can deepen when you manage your money as God intended. A practical and readable book, Money and Marriage God's Way merges solid advice on matters of the heart and the pocketbook.”

Secrets of Sex and Marriage

World Religions

“A lot of people guess at the What, Why, and How of sex. But guessing doesn’t work. Secrets of Sex and Marriage wraps the authors’ combined professional experience around solid new research that will put guessing aside and make way for a more intimate marriage and sexual relationship. Read it!”

The Single Parent

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“God’s Word has so much to say to single parents, and Linda Jacobs will connect the dots for you. With practical, biblical, encouraging advice from a parent who has ‘been there, done that,’ this book will comfort your heart and empower your parenting journey. Read it and give one to a friend.”

Understanding Your Teen

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“I don't know anyone I trust more to help me with my teens or you with yours than Jim Burns. He has spent his life studying teens and the youth culture helping parents make sense of it all. This book is the culmination of that work; I couldn't recommend it more. Loving and parenting your teen well begins with understanding them, and this is the resource that will get you there.”

When Your Adult Child Strays

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Left to itself, a parental heart aching over a child will react out of pain and fear--and make things worse. You need a plan. While not minimizing the issues, in this book Jim Burns provides hurting parents a practical plan for responding, not reacting, to their straying adult child. Find serenity for the things you cannot change. Learn to do what you can. And find wisdom to discern the difference.”

Why I Didn't Rebel

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“If you, like me, ever feel disconnected from your child’s generation or wonder if your parenting is really making a lasting difference, read Rebecca Lindenbach’s book Why I Didn’t Rebel. With humor and candid transparency, she and other young adults reveal what their parents did right and what mattered most. It’s like secretly reading your child’s social media posts. But this time, you have permission, so don’t miss out!”
