Memories from the Heart: Family, Love, and Survival presents an inspiring collection of memories recalling author Francie Rossi's life from birth to age seventeen.

Finally, "My Diagnosis" reverberates like a sentence after a guilty verdict.Rossi's memories in this collection are vibrant; sprinkled with a dash of humor as she displays persistence and continues to live a life most people can only imagine in a large, boisterous family.

More than ever, Christians need to know what the Bible actually teaches about parenting, and put it into practice.

Parents today seek answers from child experts, self-help books, or equally confused friends. But even the experts portray modern-day childbearing as a minefield strewn with psychological dangers and emotional hazards.

"What the Bible Says About Parenting" is not a book on child psychology, nor is it proposing a new parenting method. It is simply presenting the principles of biblical parenting with as much clarity as possible. John MacArthur, a leading expert on the Bible and an experienced pastor, teacher, father, and grandfather goes into depth on such vital biblical parenting subjects as these:

• Four helpful principles of communication
• Effective methods to discipline wisely and effectively, with positive results
• Simple principles for identifying, changing, and developing habits in your children

"I'm convinced that if Christian parents understand and apply the simple principles Scripture sets forth, they can rise above the trends of secular society and bring up their children in a way that honors Christ, in any culture and under any circumstances." ―John MacArthur

Grant Erikssen likes women, but he doesn't claim to understand them. He can only chronicle his encounters, and their long-lasting effects, as he seeks to unlock their secrets. In Adrift on the River of Love, author Erik Granstrom presents a collection of fi fteen fi ctionalized short stories as a tribute to many of the girls Grant knew as a boy, the women he met later as a Lieutenant in the army and, still later, the women he loves as a man.

In this work, covering more than sixty years, each vignette illustrates women who changed Erikssen's life forever, as they kindled his emotions and gave him rare insights into life. Combined with the themes throughout of affection and desire, Adrift muses about unrequited love-the kind of love that, as the days dwindle down, we come to cherish most of all.
