Inundated
One-night stands, premarital cohabitation, casual dating, and miserable singleness--all things that the culture where we live has normalized surrounding dating and relationships. Let's rewrite the narrative and learn what Jesus says about the way we date, the way we perceive singleness, and how we view sex and marriage. Growing up in the midst of generation Z, I know the information you've been given, or the lack thereof. I know that you may have had shame, loneliness, and guilt knitted into your spirit unwillingly because of the toxic purity culture that still exists. However, I also know that God did not intend for it to be that way. I want you to feel refreshed in not only how you view relationships, but also how you view Jesus in them. Through raw testimonies, Scripture, and hard truths, Inundated brings to light the deepest issues of Christian dating and exposes the truth that our culture so desperately needs.

Adult Children as Husbands, Wives, and Lovers
Do you go out of your way to avoid conflict in your primary relationship? Do you feel that your partner is emotionally closed off from you? Does the fear of abandonment overwhelm you and make you cling to your partner? Emotions, control, boundaries, intimacy, conflict, commitment: these are issues in any relationship. But if you and/or your partner are Adult Children, these issues can be the source of continuous struggle, pain, and confusion. In Adult Children as Husbands, Wives, and Lovers, Steven Farmer pinpoints how difficulties with these issues originate in childhood, where healthy role models were not available. Farmer offers examples that illustrate how each of these issues is played out in the relationship, in all their variations. You'll find specific strategies for breaking old destructive patterns, and ideas on how you and your present or future partner can create healthy intimacy. Each chapter includes exercise you can do alone, with a friend, or with your mate that will help you heal old hurts and develop a satisfying relationship. An Adult Child himself, Farmer shares personal experiences and case histories of unhealthy and healthy relationships to show that having a relationship is a process. You don't have to "have it all together," and there is no such thing as a "perfect relationship." The only requirement is that a couple--or even just one person--face their problems honestly, and find the hope and courage to change.
Spare the Child
In this rare work of scholarship, "the subject [of physical discipline] enters our minds and hearts in a new way, and we are forced to imagine a world in which the hitting of a child is against the laws of both man and God" (Chicago Tribune).He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. These words provided generations of American Christians with the justification for physically disciplining their children, in ways that range from spankings to brutal beatings. This learned and deeply disturbing work of history examines both the religious roots of corporal punishment in America and its consequences -- in the minds of children, in adults, and in our national tendencies toward authoritarian and apocalyptic thinking. Drawing on sources as old as Cotton Mather and as current as today's headlines, Spare the Child is one of those rare works of scholarship that have the power to change our lives.
Perfect Husbands
With wit, humor, and an engaging style, Barreca considers the evolving roles of husbands and wives in American culture, and reveals how the myths many women cling to can lead to unhappiness in today's changing world."Feminist humor maven Berreca takes on marriage with her characteristic wit and wisdom." --Ms.
The Marriage Sabbatical
Now in paperback, the uplifting, inspirational book that is an open invitation to married women everywhere to go off on their own, follow their dreams and desires, and come back to happier, healthier relationships.From Harriet Beecher Stowe to Ann Morrow Lindbergh, women have been taking marriage sabbaticals for centuries to explore their sense of self. What is a marriage sabbatical? It is simply a time away from your daily routines to nurture your own creative, intellectual, or spiritual strengths. In this personal yet practical book, Cheryl Jarvis chronicles the story of her own marriage sabbatical-a three-month stay at writers' colonies-and the experiences of 55 other women who took time and space away. Through these reflective and empowering ventures, the author illuminates the issues involved: the logistics, the finances, the fears. Whether it's hiking the Appalachian Trail, holing up in a cabin to paint, or taking a class in another city, a marriage sabbatical can bring new life and understanding to a longterm partnership.
Best Friends
Best Friends provides the missing link to understanding and recognizing the impact of some of the most important relationships in girls' and women's lives. Every woman remembers the sting of betrayal of a girlfriend, and every parent of a daughter has seen her come home from school in tears because a girl she thought was her best friend suddenly and inexplicably became her enemy. While boys hash out differences with fists and kicks, girls' societies are marked by secrets and whispers and shifting affection. The lessons learned as an adolescent girl are often carried into adulthood, making women fear confrontation--especially with other women. But the intensity of the struggles reflects the support and healing to be found within these friendships. Girls find themselves in the mirror of other girls, hence the power each has to influence the other. Ruthellen Josselson and Terri Apter's many years of working with hundreds of girls and women have given them insight into the emotionally important relationships that are integral to a girl's self-image. Best Friends explores the bonds of friendship between girls and between women and the sorrows and joys they experience together, from early adolescence and throughout their lives.
Leaving Him Behind
Based on over 200 interviews and 13 years of counseling experience, psychologist Sandra Kahn has written the first guide to offer help to women whose unresolved issues keep them emotionally bound to their ex-husbands, even years after a divorce is final. - Does your ex-husband still have the key to your house? - Does your anger about your divorce prevent you from trusting in new relationships? - Do you allow yourself to be seduced by your ex-husband and then hate yourself for letting it happen? If you said yes to any of the above, you may be a victim of the ex-wife syndrome. Psychotherapist Sandra S. Kahn has observed time and again that divorced women often find it difficult to separate from their ex-husbands, even when the marriage is over. Held captrive by strong emotions--fear, anger, shame, even love--they relive the past when they need to make a break and forge a new, self-sufficient life. In Leaving Him Behind, Kahn helps women to recognize how they are still trapped by a marriage gone bad--and what they can do about it. She offers a step-by-step program to regain self-confidence and independence. Praise for Leaving Him Behind "Chock full of advice any divorced woman could use."--The Toronto Star "Thoughtful . . . Helpful . . . Long-divorced women could benefit from [her] advice."--The Cincinnati Post "How to transform . . . into a self-sufficient matriarch, capable of assuming full responsibility for oneself and one's children . . . Useful hard-nose advice."--Kirkus Reviews

The main character of the story is Ralph H. Little (1908-1999).He pursued the "Love of his life," Freda, for all of his adult live. A log house in the Oregon woods defines Ralph more than anything else in his life. He was told during the courtship of Freda that one condition of marriage was the building of a log house on her father's 180-acre, Oregon homestead.Logs were cut by hand and hauled to the construction site by horses. The log house was built not only with hard work and sweat, by "Uncle" Ralph, but primarily with love for his beloved Freda.Ralph suffered betrayal and the loss of Freda. After 28 dark and lonely years Freda returned after she suffered a betrayal in her life. There was a happy remarriage and almost immediately Freda suffered illness and became bed-ridden. Freda was expected to live for only six months. Ralph lived out his marriage vows by nursing Freda for 13 years beyond the time she was expected to live.Following the death of Freda, Ralph began showing signs of dementia. He pleaded with his nephew and niece, who became his caregivers, to help him stay in his log house, for as long as possible. He often said, "I will have to be handcuffed to leave this house." Sadly it eventually came to pass that is exactly what happened.This story is also about those, "sweet and sour times", and the resulting family relationships and legal issues often faced by caregivers.

Getting Happy ...when you wish you were dead is about stopping suicide from ever becoming an option. This story is about knowing how to connect and be effective so we never feel the loneliness and isolation that opens the door to that most powerful taboo.Getting Happy ...when you wish you were dead is one story of a life lived hunted by suicide, and what it took to break free into happiness at last. www.GettingHappyBook.com

A Journey to Emotional Freedom
As small children, we develop beliefs that come as a direct result of the things we experience in our family of origin...whether those experiences were good or bad. Throughout our lives, these strongly held beliefs have deep and lasting impact on our choices, our relationships and the way we view God even as adults. Because of childhood trauma and pain, we sometimes begin to believe lies about ourselves, our relationship with God and our place in this world. Faulty belief systems very often result in dysfunction, depression and destructive behaviors. Understanding God's unconditional love for us along with the application of sound biblical principles of conflict resolution will bring about deep emotional healing. We can then move beyond the pain of the past and into a place of sustained emotional health.While not primarily a self-help workbook, this material is ideal for personal study, small group settings, discussion forums and is an excellent discipleship tool.

The Power of Conflict
Conflict leads us through paths where we either thrive in our relationships, or we strive one against the other. Relationships thrive, promote growth, and expand creativity if problems are resolved in meaningful ways. Opposite of thriving is striving. When conflict is used as a chasm for control over others, violence, threats, and selfish gain, it's harmful to everyone involved. Conflict must be laced with love as in the yin and yang concept. They coexist. While love does not always mean agreement, it is the gateway to compassion and understanding. The interconnectedness of love and conflict is meaningful yet complex in their unique enjoining. Although complex and of sometimes uncomfortable, maximized potential is interwoven in conflict and the struggles of life. It is through the struggle that loves guides one to achievements. Through conflict, love is tested, and commitment is defined. The Power of Conflict is a holistic approach to conflict and dispels the myths that (a) conflict must be hostile, (b) conflict must be confrontational, or (c) conflict must be physical, verbal, and/or emotional aggressive to get what you want. The Power of Conflict teaches us that during disagreement, positive expressions can emerge, unleashing innovative solutions and brilliance. The information herein will help you (a) become intentional about your decisions, thoughts, and actions, (b) harness your unlimited spiritual virtues, (c) develop inner peace, (d) empower you with traits to build healthy relationships with others, and (e) view problems as an opportunity to create solutions for yourself and the universe. To get you, there are practical skill-building exercises to guide you through each of the twelve commandments for resolving conflict and manifesting your relationship dreams. Lastly, understand that conflict simply conveys it is time for a change. Change is inevitable, so don't be afraid of it. Through change, you maximize your personal power and potential, thereby allowing your brilliance to shine as you cultivate inner peace and intimacy in your relationship.

And Another Thing
In And Another Thing: Memories of Family Life with a Psychiatrist, Elizabeth Fenwick, wife and co-author of neuropsychologist Peter Fenwick, presents a collection of reflections on family life in London in the twentieth century. Originally written as a series of essays for "World Medicine", a leisure magazine for doctors which, under its editor Michael O'Donnell, "World Medicine" established itself as the most entertaining - and in terms of medical politics - the most irreverent and radical medical magazine of the 1970s.Elizabeth suggests it's a memoire, "a sort of potted autobiography without the boring bits". And boring it is not. It is both witty and perceptive; qualities that come out of close but affectionate observation of the small details and big anomalies of human life in all its forms.
