The Rough Patch
"Anyone grappling with the bewilderment of midlife...will be at once provoked and comforted by this enormously wise book" (Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage), from a psychologist who has worked for decades with people struggling to preserve and enhance their marriages and long-term relationships. People today are trying to make their marriages work over longer lives than ever before. But staying married isn't always easy. In the brilliant, transformative, and optimistic The Rough Patch, clinical psychologist Daphne de Marneffe explores the extraordinary pushes and pulls of midlife marriage, where our need to develop as individuals can crash headlong into the demands of our relationships. "A book of good intentions and helpful advice and a worthy manual for spouses" (Kirkus Reviews), The Rough Patch addresses common problems: money, alcohol and drugs, the stresses of parenthood, sex, extramarital affairs, lovesickness, health, aging, children leaving home, and dealing with elderly parents. Then, de Marneffe offers seasoned wisdom on these difficulties, explaining the psychological, emotional, and relational capacities we must cultivate to overcome them as individuals and as couples. Blending research, interviews, and clinical experience, de Marneffe dives deep into the workings of love and the structures of relationships. Intimate and always illuminating, The Rough Patch is an essential, compassionate resource for people trying to understand "where they are" on the continuum of marriage, giving them a chance to share in other people's stories and struggles. "De Marneffe writes with poetry, wit, and compassion about the necessity of struggle in the quest for true love. Anyone in any relationship at any stage of life could stand to learn from the wisdom in these pages" (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of Far from the Tree).
Missing Links in Marriages & Families Journey
There is something different about this book. Many couples are confused about how to find the will of God for their lives, marriages and families. Do you desire for more intimacy and passionate linking? Do you miss the feeling of togetherness that you and your spouse felt when you first met? As a couple, is it a problem for you to communicate openly? Are you scared that being honest will hurt each other's feelings? Maybe you are feeling discouraged by stubborn arguments over apparently irrelevant issues. Alternatively, perhaps you have begun to feel like you have "fallen out of love". Do you want to have more sex or less sex than your spouse does? If you have had an affair, or if you have been hurt by your spouse's infidelity, you might be feeling uncertain if, and how, you can settle your feelings, and be able to relink and connect. Remember, you are the person to initiate that, take heart. Unless you learn to identify broken and missing links that disengage you from your marriage and family, you will continue to live in a relationship of finishing life together because of the children you have. In order for strong intimacy and deep connection to take place, forget about the lies of the devil, false messages and cracks around your heart. This is the foundation of rediscovering the joy of a broken heart in your life, marriage and family. A Pure and Forgiving Heart will Restore the Joy of your Broken and Missing Links to cover your physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional aspect of your life.
Silent Agreements
Silent Agreements will help readers define the unspoken beliefs and expectations that might be causing dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and resentment in their relationships, giving them the tools to explore these agreements and work toward healthier communication with a partner, friend, boss, or family member. If you have relationships, you've likely been part of silent agreements. Silent agreements are the implicit "rules" of your relationships that arise from unspoken beliefs and expectations that both parties hold, stemming from your earliest experiences and reinforced as you mature. They can sound something like "The person who makes more money should pay for the dates," or "My boss doesn't offer me a raise, and he knows I won't ask for one." These agreements can hinder your relationships, remaining undiscussed due to fear, aversion to conflict, feelings of obligation, or guilt. Because expectations so rarely line up and neither person will address the issue, a silent agreement can cause unhappiness and resentment on both sides. Clinical psychologists Drs. Anderson, Banks, and Owens will help you explore your agreements and work towards healthier communication with a partner, friend, boss, or family member. In the process, you'll learn more about your own motivations and how to dismantle the the beliefs that don't serve you. With guidelines and advice on how to have productive conversations about sex, money, commitment, family, the workplace, and health, this book will help you lift the silence and resolve those land-mine issues before they do irreparable damage.

Caught in the Middle
Do you worry that your relationship conflict is harming your children? Separation and divorce are tough enough on grown-ups, and they can be even tougher on kids. Parents may expect their children to be their allies, messengers, or spies. That's a lot of pressure for a kid! And it doesn't have to be this way. In Caught in the Middle: A Letter to My Parents, Dr. Benjamin Garber shares Emma's story of how parental conflict feels to a child. You'll learn practical strategies for cooperating, communicating, and putting your kids' needs first, so they can have the childhood they deserve. Emma, a fictitious 18-year-old high school graduate who grew up in the middle of her parents' selfish divorce and co-parenting war. Emma is an amalgam of the thousands of children that have found themselves caught in the middle of their parents' conflicts. The rage and narcissistic injuries that these parents live with day-to-day blinds them to their children's needs. As a result, children like Emma are prematurely thrust into the adult world. They are forced to become their parents' allies and confederates, messengers and spies. They give up their childhoods in order to serve their parents' selfish needs. They become chameleons, changing who they are in order to fit into the adult world, or ostriches, burying their heads in the sands of denial. Emma's done a very selfless thing by sharing this journal with you. The thoughts and feelings that she shares here are very private. Even embarrassing. But Emma and I have decided to put this book in your hands in the singular hope that maybe you will make different choices than her parents did. Maybe by sharing her journal, Emma can help you learn to raise healthier children. Caught in the Middle is Book 2 in the Healthy Parenting series. Book 1 in the series is The Healthy Parent's ABCs: Healthy Parenting Made Clear and Easy-to-Readand Book 3 is Taming the Beast: Managing Anger in Ourselves and in Our Children Through Divorce

Ex & Oh
Going through a divorce with children is like learning to dance in a mine field and expecting not to get hurt. Ex's & Oh's takes you through the journey of Parental Alienation, giving you the tools needed to find joy, healing, and restoration in the darkest times. Imagine if there were a manual or a guide that could help you avoid the mines and still learn how to dance again. Ex's & Oh's is that type of manual, allowing you to take a different perspective on your new reality and understand how to live again. Parental Alienation or Parental Interference (as referred to in the legal system) can be the darkest element in a divorce proceeding that often cuts off parents and extended family members from their children or grandchildren. The process leads to depression, financial despair, and in some cases even suicide. Parental Alienation becomes an invisible prison, crossing all ethnic, religious, and gender lines, and is the recipe for the destruction of the family. The goal for Ex's & Oh's is to bring life, freedom, and restoration to individuals and families impacted by Parental Alienation.

The Good News About Bad Behavior
The current model of parental discipline is as outdated as a rotary phone. Why don't our kids do what we want them to do? Parents often take the blame for misbehavior, but this obscures a broader trend: in our modern, highly connected age, children have less self-control than ever. About half of the current generation of children will develop a mood or behavioral disorder or a substance addiction by age eighteen. Contemporary kids need to learn independence and responsibility, yet our old ideas of punishments and rewards are preventing this from happening. To stem this growing crisis of self-regulation, journalist and parenting expert Katherine Reynolds Lewis articulates what she calls The Apprenticeship Model, a new theory of discipline that centers on learning the art of self-control. Blending new scientific research and powerful individual stories of change, Lewis shows that, if we trust our children to face consequences, they will learn to adapt and moderate their own behavior. She watches as chaotic homes become peaceful, bewildered teachers see progress, and her own family grows and evolves in light of these new ideas. You'll recognize your own family in Lewis's sensitive, realistic stories, and you'll find a path to making everyone in your home more capable, kinder, and happier -- including yourself.

New Pussy

We women have to know that woman and man are two different people. Their daily thoughts are not the same. Some women in this world totally live their lives dependent upon a man, but they're not your caregivers, and we are made to be awesome. It is built in us, and now it's time for us to come together because we are designed to take care of ourselves and our families. This book will empower women not to totally depend on men. Read New Pussy, ladies. Grow from it. Know your worth, and then you will see that you are a queen who was put on this earth to help men. But what some men have done is use and abuse us in all ways possible. It's time to wake up, ladies, because we are worthy of it all.
Needle Work
A Michigan couple's affair leads to two grisly murders by heroin injection in this true crime account from the acclaimed author of Lobster Boy. When Carol Giles's friend Nancy Billiter was found dead--she had been bound, sexually violated, and injected with a lethal dose of battery acid and heroin--detectives in Michigan traced Billiter's death back to Giles and her boyfriend, Tim Collier. Police also learned that the diabolical duo shared another secret: They had murdered Giles's husband, Jessie. Jessie, who had died months before Billiter, was disinterred, and an autopsy proved he'd been given a lethal shot of heroin instead of his prescribed insulin. Homebound and diabetic, Jessie was a heroin dealer. Police determined that Giles--who was fed up with taking care of her husband and children--along with her lover, Collier, had stolen the fatal dose from Jessie's own drug supply. The cops surmised that Billiter's death might have been due to her knowledge of the couple's plot. In their dramatic trial, Giles and Collier turned against each other, but both were eventually convicted of murder.

Get Married and Save the World
Christians today are intimidated by marriage. They put it off for decades. They put off having children. At best they view staying married for life as an ideal, and see marriage more as a temporary contract that can end because of sin or dissatisfaction. To many it sounds like a long, pathetic story about pain. Beyond that, abandonment of the family is at the core of the instability of Christian civilization and its current replacement by Muslim populations. In Get Married and Save the World, your ordinary brother confronts this situation head on. He shares the great truths of marriage as revealed in the Holy Bible, and how we can accomplish them through faith and obedience to God. He explains how each pillar within marriage blesses the community with life and peace and points to the Salvation in Jesus Christ. It is indeed the foundation for a new society. The book's message is interwoven with abundant practical advice, storytelling and theology. Marriage is joy, healing and life, if we walk in God's way. Ordinary Brother is a neighbor and a friend with a calling to restore the sickened Body of Messiah. He has worked as an English teacher, ministry assistant, street performer, travel writer and manual laborer. He lived and worked outside his country for twelve years, which is where he came to faith and began sharing the Gospel. He now resides in southwestern Pennsylvania with his wife and three children.

Coping with Grief
As parents, nearly all mothers and fathers form a bond with their offspring at the moment of birth. As we parents know, children do not come with instructions, however. The business of raising them to become productive members of society is a roller-coaster of ups and downs. This series of trials and errors helps to define and solidify the parental bond. When that bond is severed by loss, the ensuing chaos sends a grieving parent into a tailspin. When that loss is unexpected and there is no time to prepare, the grief can be particularly debilitating. Parents are not supposed to outlive their children.Just as children do not come with instructions for their raising, there are no instructions for how to deal with the grief which consumes us when we lose one. How can one survive the crippling effects of this tragedy? The enormity of that tragedy is compounded when more than one child is unexpectedly lost. As you read my story of the loss of two of my three children, I hope this survivor's perspective will help to shed light on a very complex and personally-unique emotion and serve as an inspiration for others experiencing the same grief.With belief in God, the love of family, support of friends, compassion from strangers, and the passage of time, it truly is possible to overcome the debilitating effects of grief.

My blog has thousands of followers, and this is a compilation of essays from that. It covers every aspect of life that we all share and puts information to people to understand and use in their everyday lives. No one has a perfect life and all wonderful relationships, so this book helps get over the hurdles and avoid problems. No school teaches what we need to know, especially about that sensitive area of sexuality. Everyone wants to love and be loved. This book offers insight about how to achieve that. Enjoy!

HiDDEN iN PLAiN SiTE FOR A PURPOSE
This book is a testimony of despite a childhood filled with turmoil and love with conditions, a Woman was able to not only find God, but herself. She was taught at a young age to be who people wanted her to be, not who she really was inside. Not having a good relationship with her Mother was damaging. Her grandmother and aunts filled the void. Being moved from household to household within her family, it was traumatic as a child. She experienced mental and physical abuse. Becoming a Mother at a young age, her life took a drastic turn. Lacking healing from her own childhood, she had to then find it in herself to give her children what she missed out on, unconditional love. She is a survivor, all thanks to her coming to accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She is free to be herself and inspire others to seek the same.
Yes! Your Marriage is PERFECT!
FIGHT! They say anything worth having is worth waiting for. True. It's also worth fighting for. Your marriage is no different. So why start and not finish? Why get in and not see it through? Why give up on something that you were always going to have to fight for anyway? Your marriage is perfect. There are very few situations in which we find ourselves in that we can say that about. Why not embrace this perfect place? Surely, there are times where, as imperfect beings, we struggle to see the wonderful situation we're in. We're still growing as individuals. We're still learning. We're individuals with unique responsibilities, unique roles, and unique personal experiences that somehow have to work together. It's tough. With a committed mindset, it's a little easier to make this work. I've decided to share some real occurrences from my relationship that are common to us all. While, obviously, the way these points were highlighted in my relationship will be different from the way they show up in yours, there are common resolutions we all have to get to. With proper perspective we see the perfection in our union, and we fight to do just that. Here's a piece of my fight. I pray it'll help you through yours.

Hey, God
Are you ready to meet God today? "Hey, God" by Daniel is a reflection on life and our world today viewed through the lens of the end. Whether the end of the world arrives today or an unexpected event or diagnosis takes us from our loved ones to see the Lord Jesus, the question this author asks is one to which we should all have a ready answer. Through a discussion of subjects that matter to everyone, including money, family, church, and the end times, the author leads readers through the Bible's teachings on living as Jesus would have us live-in obedience to God, exactly as Jesus lived. Within, Daniel has collected many scriptures that will answer common questions that arise from today's world and popular culture. What does the Bible say about finances? What does it say about marriage and the family? God wants his children to be wise. Wise in their finances; wise in their church; wise in their family, in marriage...in all aspects of life. So why do 78 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck today? Why are fathers avoiding their parental duty? Dive into "Hey, God," this little book for end time Christian's, and contemplate what you'll say to Father God once life is over. You may just come away with a fresh perspective of life and renewed zeal to make positive changes in and around you.
