More than a year ago, as the erotic novel 50 Shades of Grey became a cultural phenomenon author Bette Nordberg began to think, "How does culture shape a believer's sense of right and wrong?" That question led to others: "Does God even care about married sex? And, as the world abandons traditional marriage, "is a lifetime of married pleasure even possible?"

 

Generally, the church emphasizes purity before marriage; however the married sexual relationship is largely ignored. In her book Pure Sex. Great Sex., Nordberg wants hers her readers to examine some of her own reasons for taking the study, her satisfaction in her sexuality, and her hopes for growth.

On June 19, 2001, Ryan Corbin, grandson of Pat Boone, accidently stepped through a skylight and fell three stories onto a cement floor. When he broke through that roof, Ryan fell into a very different life from the one he had before as the beloved son of Lindy Boone Michaelis and first grandson of entertainment icon Pat Boone.

 

As Ryan lingered between life and death in intensive care at UCLA Medical Center, Pat and Lindy decided to take action, in a big way; they went on Larry King Live, shared their faith, and asked millions of TV viewers to pray for Ryan. And so, they prayed. Heaven Hears  is a new book, written by Lindy Boone Michaelis, of the unbelievable story of answered prayer-and it's not over yet. This book will inspire you to look for answers to prayer and to see God's miracles.

We have all been hurt. We have been disappointed. Relationships mean taking risks and then learning to love better.

 

Hosts will interview William Smith, a therapist, that says "If you live on this planet you can't escape suffering." When we have broken or failed relationships we tend to withdraw (which is sometimes best). In this process, however, we can miss growth and lessons that occur when we are vulnerable and open. Smith will unpack the way to do this and says "The way we live out our relationships with people is one of the clearest indicators of how healthy our relationship to God is.
