THE CHALLENGE EVERY MAN FACES…THE FIGHT EVERY MAN CAN WIN

From the television to the Internet, print media to videos, men are constantly faced with the assault of sensual images. It is impossible to avoid such temptations…but, thankfully, not impossible to rise above them. Shattering the perception that men are unable to control their thought lives and roving eyes, this book shares the stories of dozens who have escaped the trap of sexual immorality and presents a practical, detailed plan for any man who desires sexual purity – perfect for men who have fallen in the past, those who want to remain strong today, and all who want to overcome temptation in the future. This book is a call for courage, commitment, and self-discipline. It will give you clear, practical principles for sexual purity. I highly recommend all men to get this one. Every Man’s Battle by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker can be ordered at www.amazon.com for only $10.49 new, or used for $7.50.

Whether the teen years are already upon you or still ahead, Parenting Today’s Adolescent will give you the right tools to build and strengthen your family. I highly recommend this book to all parents. I believe you will find it to be a very helpful and much used resource in your personal library as you to strive to be the best parent you can be in growing healthy children God’s way.

MAKING THE CONNECTION

It is nearly impossible to pass on our faith or our values or even protect our kids from the culture, unless we make a relational connection, a living bond, that intimate attachment our children so desperately want and need. Relationships are a vital part in the overall development of our kids, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. When our kids don’t have close relationships at home they are… over 200% more likely to be dissatisfied with life, 200% more likely to say premarital sex is okay, and less likely to attend church, read their Bible consistently, and pray daily.

Upon a recent study on Church kids the following statistics were discovered:

* 54% of our youth seldom or never talk to their fathers about their personal concerns.

*47% spend less than 30 minutes a week in meaningful conversation with their mothers.

Want to protect them from a godless culture? Our kids are crying out for a connection! I highly recommend that you purchase this easy read, paperback book, The Disconnected Generation, and discover how to establish and cultivate meaningful relationships with your kids. This great book by Josh McDowell can be ordered online at www.amazon.com for $10.49. It is WELL worth your investment.

1-2-3 MAGIC is an effective discipline for children ages 2-12.

This time-tested program provides easy-to-follow steps for disciplining children aged 2-12 without yelling, arguing or spanking.
