In a world with more than 7 billion people, 196 countries, 7,000
spoken languages, and close to 30 religions, the probability of one
group or one person intentionally or unintentionally offending
another group or another person is absolutely certain. Many people
limit themselves in life based on their inability to get along with
others, and too often we allow ourselves to be ruled by our
emotions. When we're emotionally reactive, we're not our best
selves, nor do we produce the smartest outcomes. Emotional
reactions create winners and losers. And winning directly at the
expense of another is actually losing in disguise, due to the
resentment it inspires in the loser. Often, people get stuck in a
pattern of reacting emotionally, long past the time when the
combativeness that once served them no longer does; long past the
time when the pattern has become destructive without them being
aware of it. For everyone who wants to change that part of
themselves-everyone who wants more peaceful interactions and more
successful outcomes, but doesn't know how to achieve that-Quiet the
Rage is the answer.

The conflict between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law has
existed throughout all of history. In the Old Testament, Rebekah
complained that her daughters-in-law were making her so miserable,
she'd rather be dead. Now, thousands of years later, we're still
complaining about our in-laws, often even hoping they really won't
ever come visit.In Mothers-in-Law vs. Daughters-in-Law, author
Elisabeth Graham examines this in-law conflict with aims to draw
readers into a different perspective: that women will learn to
recognize their in-laws as a beneficial relationship--a gift--to
and for the entire family.With sound biblical wisdom and clever
insights, Graham teaches women to find peace in all aspects of
their relationships with their in-laws.
Serving others is a vital part of the Christian life. Time and
again Christ demonstrated the importance of putting others first
and giving what we can to help those less fortunate. As adults, we

enough; to leave a lasting impression, they need to see and
experience love in action. 77 Ways Your Family Can Make a
Difference is an easy-to-use resource that parents can use to
cultivate compassion in their children and engage their family in
acts of service. Filled with suggestions, activities, Bible verses,
and topics for discussion, this re-usable manual inspires families

activity to help children connect the practical aspects of God's
truth to their lives Interactive discussion questions to help teens
understand the importance of each activity and correlate it to God
s Word Suggestions that encourage whole families--parents, kids,
grandparents, and other relatives--to spend time together as they

Howard Feldman was a high-flying commodity trader, living a
seemingly perfect life, with a perfect wife and perfect children,
in an unbelievably perfect world. His tie was Hermes and belt
Ferragamo (until the Hermes belt with the H became the item of
choice), suits were Boss or Armani (little else would do unless it
is custom made, but only in London and not by the tailors in Hong
Kong as everyone knew that they aren’t up to par). Shoes were
Prada. Rolex was passe unless it was the Daytona. IWC was always
acceptable, Hublot - too in your face, Cartier worked and Panerai
said “I have class, have money and I am aware of the latest
trends”. Ties needed to be skinny, unless you were not. Louis
Vuitton luggage was “showy” unless plain black. Tumi roll-on, in
black, with the briefcase that slides over the handle was a
pre-requisite. Check-in baggage is embarrassing and very un-cool
even though you have more weight allowance than God…But then this
“King of Chrome” gets attacked. And attacked again. Then he gets
sick. His business folds. And his carry-on baggage simply gets too
heavy to hold. As Howard unpacks his bags – both literal and
metaphorical – he unravels all the “perfect” banners he has raised
to the world, his family, his community and himself. He measures
their value against a new benchmark of success, and reconsiders his
life’s travels from Zug to Zimbabwe, New York to Tel Aviv.
Returning home to South Africa, he discovers not just the meaning
of home, family and friendship, but also himself.
Whether you've been married for thirty days or thirty years, you want a
marriage that outlasts difficult times, grows in love and intimacy, and
matches God's perfect plan for relationships. But our marriages don't
always look the way we thought they would - you may be suffering
through a marriage crisis, financial difficulties, or spiritual
attacks. Or perhaps you aren't struggling in your marriage, but you
want to make your relationship as strong as it possibly can be. In The
Keys to a Happy and Healthy Marriage, you'll hear from beloved Bible
teacher Joyce Meyer about how to unlock powerful truths from God's Word
for you and your marriage, overcome roadblocks to healthy
relationships, live in peace with an insecure person, and take the
focus off yourself and your spouse and instead look to the Lord.
Along with her lifetime of biblical wisdom, you'll benefit from Joyce's
practical and personal experience that will help you grow in your
marriage. Regardless of what stage of marriage you are in, you can
experience hope and courage in God's promises of healing, restoration,
and a life full of His goodness!
How can we create more meaningful and intimate connections with our
loved-ones? By using moments of discord to strengthen our
relationships, explains this original, deeply researched book. You
might think that perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of
a good relationship, but the truth is that human interactions are
messy, complicated, and confusing. The good news, however, is that
we are wired to deal with this from birth - and even to grow from
it and use it to strengthen our relationships, according to
renowned psychologist Ed Tronick and paediatrician Claudia Gold.
Scientific research - including Dr Tronick's famous 'Still-Face
Experiment' - has shown that working through mismatch and repair in
everyday life helps us form deep, lasting, trusting relationships;
resilience in times of stress and trauma; and a solid sense of self
in the world. This refreshing and original look at our ability to
relate to others and to ourselves offers a new way for us to think
about our relationships, and will reassure you that conflict is
both normal and healthy, building the foundation for stronger
connections.
