Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching, and Appreciating Boys - Hal & Melanie Young $15.00 | Paperback | 256 pages | Great Waters Press OUR PRICE: $12.50 "Six boys!" folks say in mock horror, "Well, better you than me." We answer them cheerfully - we love our boys and they're a gift from God...a reward. Privately, though, we admit to ourselves it's not always rosy. Teenaged boys put away a startling amount of groceries. Young boys can be downright destructive. They're noisy, unconcerned with personal hygiene, and the dog has a longer attention span - or so it seems, some days. If this is God's chosen gift to us, why is so much about it so hard? How can we prepare these boys to serve God when we can barely make it through the day? Isn't there a better way? Yes -- Raising Real Men looks beyond the untied shoes and dirty jeans to what the Lord means your son to be. Learn how to help him focus on schoolwork, find real heroes, stand alone when he needs to, and become a real man one day. Don t just survive raising boys, succeed at it and learn how to love them as they really are. "Hal and Melanie Young have six sons and are disciples of Jesus. They know how to raise real men. This book is a treasure trove of practical tips to help you to raise your sons right. It will answer your questions, help you avoid mistakes, bring them up in the Lord, and understand them. I highly recommend it." -- Chris Klicka, author of The Right Choice and Homeschool Heroes Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

A Simple Christmas: 12 Stories that Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit (autographed-by-author copies) - Mike Huckabee $19.95 | Paperback | 238 pages | Sentinel Press OUR PRICE: $16.50 Former presidential candidate, governor, pastor, and bestselling author has composed this inspirational collection of 12 true, heartwarming stories from his past that help recall the real meaning of Christmas. Each copy is personally signed by the author! "The first Christmas was a simple one. So simple that it had all the makings of a first-class disaster. It's a miracle it turned out well at all. In fact, that's the whole point. It really was, and remains, a miracle -- the greatest miracle of all time. And it really was simple." Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, overindulging, competition, and stress. But according to Mike Huckabee (who was a pastor before getting into politics), that was never God's intention. Going back to the Nativity, Christmas is supposed to be about simple things: faith, love, family, and hope. The hard part, in today's crazy world, is remembering that those simple things are the most precious of all. Click on "details" (below) for more... Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:
