After adding seven children in less than six years through adoption, the Goyer family decided to move out of survival mode and tackle the impossible: a grumble-free year. The Grumble-Free Year will give you the tools you need to: Go with the flow when life gets in the way of your plans Discover what really matters to you and your family Thrive, not just survive, as a family In The Grumble-Free Year, the Goyers invite you into their journey as they go complaint-free and discover what it looks like to develop hearts of gratitude.

Praise for The Grumble-Free Year: "The Grumble-Free Year is about becoming more than just grateful. It's about learning how to see beyond the words to uncover what is really happening in the heart of our children and, equally important, ourselves. With humility and authenticity, Tricia Goyer invites us into her home to learn how to live grumble-free and paints a beautiful picture of the transformation process that evolves through a steadfast commitment, even with a few detours along the way." --Elisa Pulliam, life coach and founder of MoretoBe.com "When Tricia talks, I listen. That's because whatever she writes about, she has intimately lived. But instead of presenting as a perfect expert, Tricia pulls up a chair beside you as another woman facing the same battles. The Grumble-Free Year is a guide that gives you practical ways to develop a practice of gratitude and to foster respect in relationships. You will feel understood, challenged, and empowered to live a grumble-free lifestyle." --Sarah Bragg, host of the podcasts Surviving Sarah and Raising Boys & Girls

Faith, Farming, and Family by Caitlin Henderson Pdf

"When Caitlin Henderson fell in love with a farmer, she learned the important skills of life through refinement in the ever-changing seasons as a mother and farmer's wife. Because Caitlin didn't grow up on a farm, there was a period of adjustment and struggle--intermixed with humorous mishaps--as she learned to navigate this different way of life. The Rural Way is filled with stories and the lessons God taught her along the way about His goodness, grace, love, and redemption. From the big lessons like facing your fears to the simpler ones like the impact of hospitality, adventures such as run-ins with cows, wayward tractors, and a squeaky farmhouse enliven each enthralling story. Woven through every chapter are the scriptures that our weary souls need to be refreshed and strengthened in truth. Caitlin shares how God used the challenges that arise on a farm to refine her, but that each season is one that any wife and mother like you can relate to--even if you're far removed from the rural way of life. Whether you are in the middle of a wheat field, or in the heart of the city, you can grab hold of these moments and lessons as you reflect on a simpler way of life"--

Faith, Hope and Family by Gina Wilkins Pdf

HOPELESSLY IN LOVE Youthful, soul-shattering mistakes? Deborah McCloud had made more than her share. She'd believed in her father, only to discover her trust had been cruelly misplaced. And her heart? She'd misplaced that, too, by falling hopelessly in love with Dylan Smith, a man too sexy and too smart for her comfort. Wanting, needing, Dylan was more than she could bear, so she'd left. Seven years ago. And she'd been running ever since. But now, threats against her family had brought her home to face the people she'd hurt, the mistakes she'd made…and the one man who could rekindle the passion she'd sworn to leave behind.

Faith of Cranes by Hank Lentfer Pdf

Faith of Cranes weaves together three parallel narratives: the plight and beauty of sandhill cranes, one man's effort to recover hope amid destructive climate change, and the birth of a daughter. CLICK HERE to download the first chapter from Faith of Cranes "Faith of Cranes is a love song to the beauty and worth of the lives we are able to lead in the world just as it is, troubled though it be. Lentfer's storytelling achieves its joys and universality not via grand summations but via grounded self-giving, familial intimacy, funny friendships, attentive griefs, and full-bodied immersion in the Alaskan rainforest. The writing is honest, intensely lived, and overflowing with heart: broken, mended, and whole." —David James Duncan, author of The Brothers K and God Laughs & Plays Hank Lentfer listened to cranes passing over his home in southeast alaska for twenty years before bothering to figure out where they were going. On a very visceral level, he didn't want to know. After all, cranes gliding through the wide skies of Alaska are the essence of wildness. But the same animals, pecking a living between the cornfields and condos of California's Central Valley, seem trapped and diminished. A former wildlife biologist and longtime conservationist, Lentfer had come to accept that no number of letters to the editor or trips to D.C. could stop the spread of clear cuts, alter the course of climate change, or ensure that his beloved cranes would always appear. And he had no idea that following the paths of cranes would lead him to the very things he was most afraid of: parenthood, responsibility, and actions of hope in a frustrating and warming world. Faith of Cranes is Lentfer's quiet, lyrical memoir of his home and community near Glacier Bay that reveals a family's simple acts -- planting potatoes, watching cranes, hunting deer -- as well as a close and eccentric Alaskan community. It shows how several thousand birds and one little girl teach a new father there is no future imaginable that does not leave room for compassion and grace.

Reset for Parents by Todd Friel Pdf

Raising a prodigal is every Christian parent’s worst nightmare. Horrifyingly, George Barna contends that over 60 percent of Christian kids will run off to university and “lose their faith.” Some pollsters believe the number is as high as 80 percent. But there is great news! Your child doesn’t have to become a statistic. Your child can become an adult who loves the Lord the same way you do — but this will likely require a radical parenting reset on your part. Todd Friel has witnessed to hundreds of university students, most of whom are Bible-belt backsliders. Reset for Parents gets to the heart of the issue and presents a solid, biblical roadmap for parents to avoid the pain and heartache of raising a prodigal.

Amazing Grace for Families by Jeff Cavins,Matthew Pinto,Patti Armstrong Pdf

The word “family” brings to mind thoughts of joy, sacrifice, affection, hardship, and humor. Yet it is love that defines what it means to be a family, and it is this same love that gives a family their purpose. In bearing witness to the mystery of the love of Christ, the family becomes the “domestic sanctuary of the Church.” Amazing Grace for Families contains 101 stories of faith, hope, inspiration, and humor. Some are sorrowful, others are humorous, but all will inspire you and your family to grow in love for each other as you fulfill your roles in the domestic church. In Amazing Grace for Families, you will meet: ● A mother who sacrificed her own ability to walk to save the lives of her children ● A little boy, named Markie, who brought his family closer together after learning that he had a near-terminal disease ● A young man who, after being inspired by a PBS series, led his entire family from atheism to Christianity ● A little boy who found an early vocation by mistaking the word “pre-school” for “priest-school.”

The Color of Rain by Michael Spehn,Gina Kell Spehn Pdf

When unexpected grief brings two families together, how do they start their journey to healing? Join Michael and Gina Spehn--bestselling authors and founders of the New Day Foundation--as they tell their story of resilience, remembrance, and reliance on their shared faith. Matt Kell and Cathy Spehn had known each other since grade school. As adults, they each got married, lived in their hometown, and attended the same church. Their kids even attended school together. Matt died at home on Christmas Day after a three-year battle with cancer, leaving behind his wife, Gina, and two young boys. After attending Matt's inspirational funeral and reaching out to Gina with offers of support, Cathy was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. She died only 17 days later, leaving behind her husband, Michael, and three young children. In her final hours, Cathy instructed Michael to call Gina Kell. The Color of Rain illuminates the stepping stones of loss and healing that ultimately led to a joyful new life for Michael, Gina, and their five children. Their path to becoming a modern-day Brady Bunch was paved with grief, laughter, and the willingness to be restored to a new and even better life despite the inevitable resistance they faced. As you learn more about Michael and Gina's story, you'll learn: The importance of keeping God at the center of your marriage How they navigated becoming a blended family The life-changing power of faith, even on your darkest days As their dual first-person narrative reveals what it is like to walk through loss and love simultaneously, you'll have an intimate look at how Michael and Gina lived, lost, and ultimately persevered through extraordinary circumstances. Praise for The Color of Rain: "The Color of Rain is a testament to God's restoration and grace. Even in our suffering, there is beauty. It rarely makes sense, but it's always true: 'He makes all things beautiful, in His time.'" --Katie Davis, New York Times bestselling author of Kisses from Katie "Michael and Gina Spehn's The Color of Rain is not only an instant bestseller but also an instant classic, certain to be pressed into the hands of hundreds of thousands of grieving men and women by their closest friends, for it is a book that is painfully honest about the depths of sorrow but also full of the joy of the hard path back from near despair. It is another reminder that God is there, however dark the day, and that he will comfort those who call on him." --Hugh Hewitt, bestselling author and radio host

Faith Hope Love by Josef Pieper Pdf

This volume, three separate books in one edition, is a collection of Josef Pieper's famous treatises on the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love. Each of these treatises was originally published as a separate work over a period of thirty-seven years, and here they are brought together in English for the first time. The first of the three that he wrote, On Hope, was written in 1934 in response to the general feeling of despair of those times. His "philosophical treatise" on Faith was derived from a series of lectures he gave in the late 1950s and early 1960s. His most difficult work, one that he struggled with for years - and almost abandoned - was his work On Love. Pieper now feels that this is the most important book he has written. He discusses not only the theological virtue of caritas-agape, but also of eros, sexuality, and even "love" of music and wine.

Desperate for Love by Diana Fogel Pdf

There is a global epidemic of children who have been abandoned, abused, and neglected. When there is no one to care what happens to them, these children usually end up on the streets. All it takes is one person whose heart is totally submitted to serving God to influence the lives of unwanted children, a surrounding neighborhood, and even a nation. Only Gods love can make such a radical change in one heart and ultimately transform the lives of so many others. As a young teenager, Lorraine Lamar cried out to God and sought Him with all her heart; what began as a cry for help turned into a lifelong ministry. When Lorraine responded to Gods call, He rewarded her with her ultimate dream: to serve in ministry rescuing Filipino children. She and her husband, Celing, and their three children now minister to abandoned, abused, neglected, and orphaned Filipino children at their Faith, Hope, and Love Kids Ranch in the Philippines. The kids ranch has become a symbol of unconditional love and a model for Christian orphanages everywhere. Their lives have become perfect examples of lifestyle evangelism in Christian service, as they love, train, and care for unwanted Filipino children, challenging the kids and visitors alike to be a blessing, rather than a burden, to society.
