The loss of a loved one can change our lives forever. Healing from the pain of losing a loved one doesn't happen overnight. Each day can be a battle to keep unpredictable emotions under control-especially around holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, which can bring losses into full focus. Traditions and expectations often add more stress to an already grieving heart. Even simple tasks, such as walking through a store during the holidays, can surface memories that turn on emotions like a light switch. Finding joy may seem impossible. Janet Johnson knows. She lost a brother to murder, a son to a car accident, and a brother-in-law to suicide. She has experienced firsthand how the holidays have a peculiar way of activating emotions-and why it's important to process those emotions, not ignore them. In Surviving the Holidays While Grieving, Janet comes alongside readers who have lost a loved one or are journeying with someone dealing with grief. With tenderness and compassion, she offers ideas for managing emotions, hands-on activities for expressing feelings in tangible ways, and tips for communicating those feelings to others. Readers will be encouraged to remember meaningful traditions and create new memories about their loved ones with others. Through the pages of this tenderly composed book written from a Christian perspective, readers will find hope for healing and a toolkit for taking steps forward with joy.

Love Thy Neighborhood
What was once a nation of neighborhoods is fast becoming a society of enemies. The ties that once bound us, from families and churches to the mom and pop shops on Main Street, are giving way under the pressures of an ever-intensifying culture war. We are coming apart and what is there to bring us back together when we share so little in common any more. Little, that is, except the public schools. These grim concrete fortresses with their chain link fences and sullen inmates might seem like an unlikely place for hope. Indeed, for many Christians and conservatives the public school system is a threat, a place where their children face abuse and indoctrination. Even so, our schools offer unique and enormous value as America's last truly common denominator, a shares space for the vast majority of American children. For those of us still hoping for a united American future, public schools are the best place to begin the work of restoring the old bonds of affection. Love Thy Neighborhood serves as a clarion call and a detailed blueprint for the actions necessary to reverse our country's slide into disunity. Drawing on his unique blend of experience as a Christian homeschooler and public high school teacher, author Samuel Lively delves deeply into the past, present and potential futures of our public school system. In doing so, he reveals the abiding strengths of the system's founding principles, its current threats and challenges, and the paths it offers to bring us back together. Timely, challenging and far-reaching in its applications, Love Thy Neighborhood is an indispensable resource for community-minded Americans.

A Man’s Game
A Man's Game chronicles the story of four women who fell for his games. Each story leaves every woman wondering what she could have done differently. It tells of the many battles a woman faces as she tries to see the best in her partner. It shows how easily she can become heartbroken in trying to hold on to a world which is being ripped from beneath her, while the next prey is being hunted by the predator. You will gain insight into his mind and his world. Learn our (women's) stories through their (men's) games.Let's look at what so many women have experienced with men whom vowed to protect them. For those of us who believe that our experience and voice must be kept silent, our stories will be told through these words.I have yet to see any law, rule or scientific evidence that can ably assist in the explanation of a man's behavior. It is thought by our beloved psychologists that every person carries a different identity gene, and so the behavior of every individual is different. If so, how can we then explain the reason it has become so easy for some males to behave similarly? Many of them seem to be synchronized when it comes to the way they speak, act or even make decisions, as well as the mindset they have when they believe their happiness is threatened.Women will be left to decide if some men carry a huge chip on their shoulders or glorify themselves by playing the part of the abuser, inflicting wounds on any woman who dares to give a caring glance or verbalize her commitment. Too many men tend to expect so much yet give so little in return. Their behavior is that of a well-devised plan which will help them to achieve their main goal: Dominance.To be fair, our men do deserve credit because there are good men around. However, some have not grasped the concept of manhood and what it truly entails, especially concerning a woman. Like everything, there is a good and bad side and while there are those men who aim to preserve and protect, there are those who wreck that which has been entrusted in their care. This book is about exposing the ugly truths and their devastating effects on women and is not a deliberate attack against men. Men, your games may never end, but our stories must be told. Some tales will be told because the truth has been revealed, some will be left unspoken due to unanswered questions, and some will spark your desire to start at the beginning. Two things which cannot be denied are that whatever effect these stories might have on you, we can all relate, and we all have our own story to tell.

Ordinary Day. Remarkable God.
This is not a typical devotional book. There is no ten-step program inside to better yourself. It is not a deep theological study. It is not an end to all trials or an answer to all problems. This book is a collection of stories, prayers, and reflections. They are honest, vulnerable, sometimes dramatic, sometimes humorous, and sometimes sad, but they are real. They point to Him. No matter what adventures we travel through, our Maker and Creator is always with us. He isn't looking for extraordinary people. He is not looking for the exceptional and the elite. He is the exceptional and the elite. He is just wanting us to walk alongside Him.

Recovering Confidence
It all started out awesome. You had a beautiful new woman. She seemed to have everything you've ever wanted in a woman. She walked the right way, she said the right things-you guys had great chemistry.As awesome as the beginning was, you started noticing certain changes as time went by. She starts asking you for small favors, like picking up her laundry, paying a few small bills here and there, and dropping off stuff to friends. At the outset, you really didn't mind. You'd look at these small favors as opportunities for you to show her that you love her. These small tasks, regardless of how inconvenient they can sometimes be, were your way of showing to her that you love her.As time went by, the small stuff started taking more and more of your time. They became increasingly inconvenient and, in certain cases, downright uncomfortable. Still, you give in because you want to show her you love her. But at the back of your head, you knew what was going on.You're afraid that you might lose her, so you never stand your ground. You never tell her that you really did not have time to do her chores. You keep giving in. The more you gave in, the larger the "favors" became, and the more uncomfortable and inconvenient they got. Eventually, the relationship became all about her.She tells you what she wants. She also tells you what YOU want. She ends up telling you what to think. In fact, it got so bad that it reached a point that she even began to define what you can and cannot do. You still didn't mind. Well, you did mind, but you did not want to show it.Here you are, thinking that you have found "The One." For the life of you, you did not want to give her up, so you gave in again and again and again. Eventually, it dawned on you that you actually have given her your life. You've given your life to her because you felt she completed you.Now she's gone. It's time to pick up the pieces. It's time to put your life and identity back together.

Why Can’t I
For almost 100 years photos, journals, newspaper clippings, Naval records and love letters waited quietly to tell the story of how a Depression-era Southern boy with nothing but talent and ambition rose to become a Navy fighter pilot and hero in WWII. John Barry, Jr, born in poverty in coastal Carolina, lived with his siblings and parents in fish shacks and often had to scrounge through garbage to find food. He and his brothers and sisters were sent to an orphanage after his mother died and father couldn't find work. His athletic talent and personality earned him a college education and officer's training as a Navy pilot. He found love and married a hometown girl shortly before he was deployed. His personal journal entries told the story of the heat and exhaustion of life aboard the carriers, the loss of good friends in dogfights and bad landings, and the real horrors of the war. In stark contrast, his letters home were filled with descriptions of the beauty of the Pacific Islands, the friendships made aboard ship, his desire for home, as well as advice for his pregnant wife. This stunning example of a war-time love story is filled with battle action, and is a personal look into the life and love of a man whose mantra was "Why Can't I." It is a journey of discovery into a different and more innocent time. Here are his times. This is his story.
