Stepparenting Is Hard...but It Can Also Be Richly Rewarding
Stepparenting can sometimes feel like an overwhelming and thankless
challenge. Loving and caring for children who aren't biologically
yours means having to earn trust, establish authority, and often
put your own needs aside in favor of your stepchild's well-being or
a birth parent's wishes. But here's the good news: With some expert
guidance and God's help, you can have tremendous influence in your
stepchild's life and grow in your faith along the way. Seasoned
stepmom Laurie Polich Short understands and empathizes with the
difficult job you face. Drawing on extensive research, biblical
teaching, and her own real-life experience (including an insightful
chapter cowritten with her stepson, Jordan), Laurie provides
practical and spiritual advice to help you fully embrace and
succeed in your role as stepparent. Whether you are about to become
a stepparent or are further along on your journey, this
compassionate and insightful resource offers the hope, help, and
encouragement you've been looking for.
When God's Plan Is Unclear What in the world is God doing? It's
easy to wonder this. We are living in an unfolding story, and it's
hard to hold on when difficult circumstances linger, or your
deepest prayer hangs in the air, seemingly unanswered. Thankfully
the Bible is filled with people who experienced the same thing.
They had to learn to trust God's way and timing--and their stories
give us insights to live that way too. Mining often-overlooked
passages of Scripture, Laurie Polich Short has unearthed 30
practical, encouraging gems of wisdom found in the faith and lives
of biblical heroes to help you * see more of God's work as it
unfolds in your life * have hope in circumstances that previously
felt hopeless * be more comfortable--and possibly even excited--to
lean into the unknown Here is your compass to living your story
well when the way forward is unclear. "Why, God? What are you
doing, God? Questions at the crossroads of faith and doubt can lead
us to dead ends or to new vistas. Laurie's brilliant, biblical
insights will help you see the map from God's mysterious
perspective."--JOHN BURKE, New York Times bestselling author of
Imagine Heaven
Many of us have our "go to" verses. The ones we memorize, post on
social media, and hang on our walls. But sometimes we need a fresh
word or promise for the season we find ourselves in--something that
ignites our faith in the face of fear, doubt, loneliness,
insecurity, or overwhelming circumstances. In this powerful,
accessible new book, author and speaker Laurie Short mines the
Scriptures, revealing insights and promises from 40 verses we often
overlook. Digging in to these "in between" verses, she unearths
fresh wisdom, guidance, and encouragement that will help you seek
and experience God in new, dynamic ways. From trusting God's
timing, to not worrying about the future, to holding on to faith
when things look dark, the hidden insights found in these verses
will help you navigate the challenges that cross your path, breathe
new life into your weary soul, and ignite your faith once again.

What do small group leaders need? Good Bible studies that engage
their kids. The purpose of this book in the Studies on the Go
series is to provide small group leaders with creative and engaging
Bible study questions they won t have to rewrite. Students will be
pushed, encouraged, and challenged, but the real goal is that they
would be changed. Laurie Polich-Short has designed Matthew for the
busy youth worker who either lacks the time or the information to
lead a quality Bible study. Without skimping on depth and
substance, Laurie has constructed down to earth questions that get
kids into the text and so they can hear God s Word on a practical
level. Each consecutive passage of Scripture sets a topic to help
students think deeply, talk openly, and apply what they are
learning to their lives."
Reframing your perspective can transform your life. We often face
circumstances that we cannot change-a job we are forced to keep, a
relationship that did not work out, a decision we cannot take back.
The stress of life can overwhelm us, and we may not see past the
obstacles in our path. In the face of unwanted challenges, we may
despair over our lack of control and long for an easier way out.
Laurie Short offers a simple but revolutionary idea: change nothing
that is around you yet still change everything about your life.
With the help of four different lenses, Laurie shows how the way
you see can have an impact on how you live. If you put on the right
lenses, you can reframe whatever comes your way and embrace both
the good and the bad, recognizing that every detail of your life is
fully in God's sovereign hands. Jesus indicates the power of focus
when he says, "The eye is the lamp of the body, if the eye is good
then the whole body will be full of light." It's the easiest way to
find lasting meaning and purpose. Change nothing, but see
differently. Your perspective has more power than you think to
determine the course of your life.
