You Are Not Alone
God cares deeply about you and your mental health. Author and mental health advocate Chris Morris has battled depression and suicidality his entire adult life. Even coming to Christ didn't change this, which is something many fellow Christians don't seem to understand. He still had to face the grief of unrelenting illness, the shame of struggling, and the pain of poor guidance.
In this compassionate and engaging book, Chris shares how he overcame these challenges and invites you to do the same--no matter your diagnosis. Weaving biblical truth and personal stories with thoughtful strategies and hard-earned wisdom, he helps you move past fear and shame to combat the specters of depression and suicidality.
God is still there, even in the darkest of places. May this book be a step in the process of healing and help you find hope in your battle.

Resilient and Redeemed with Chris Morris

Our culture has been lying to women. The world defines female empowerment as believing in yourself or looking within to find the power to succeed. But what happens when women grow weary from trying to do it all? Jesus offers a better way.
Becky Beresford used to believe and even promoted some of society’s lies to women. But in God’s kindness, Becky came to the end of herself and embraced healing truth found in the Bible.
Tired and frustrated with self-dependence, Becky wants to be God-dependent. In She Believed HE Could So She Did, Becky invites you to join her as she dismantles commonly held misconceptions and lies so we can live in real freedom and godly confidence.
This is a brave journey toward freedom as we learn to experience Christ-centered empowerment–not by believing in ourselves . . . but by trusting in our faithful God. Becky devotes chapters to the most common messages promoted by our culture and gives readers dependable biblical truths grounded in the gospel:

 Believe in Your God vs. Believe in Yourself
 Speak THE truth vs. Speak Your Truth
  Follow Your King vs. Follow Your Heart
  You Be His vs. You Be You
  The Future is Found Together vs. The Future is Female
  And so much more!

Together we will discover how to rely on the Holy Spirit in order to battle cultural lies, put the enemy in his place, and live boldly for Jesus. We will be lifted of the burden to find strength in ourselves and reassured of the hope, joy, and power that comes from living in Christ. We don’t have to be the savior of our own stories.

She Believed HE Could, So She Did with Becky Beresford



The teen years are full of uncomfortable self-discovery for everyone. But adopted teens grapple with issues that make the coming-of-age journey immensely more difficult. Many don't have words for what they're feeling, sensing, or believing about themselves. They often don't have anyone like them to help them work through their struggles. Forced to cope on their own, they end up feeling isolated.
Adoption advocate and adoptive mom Susan TeBos has watched her own children go through these struggles. Often she wished for a voice that would resonate with adopted teens--her own and others--and authentically meet them where they are.
She found not one voice, but many: over thirty adopted teens and young adults. We've Been There gathers their stories, giving readers a front-row seat to people with similar stories and feelings.
This book is an unprecedented glimpse into the unfiltered feelings, thoughts, experiences, and unanswered questions that well up in the heart of every person with adoption in their story. From people who have been there as adopted kids, this book not only invites adopted teens to bring their concerns into the open but also helps them process how they feel and offers them hope on the other side. In these pages, teen adoptees will understand themselves in a whole new way and find reassurance and a sense of belonging as part of a global adopted community.

Loving Adopted Children Well with Laurel Shaler, PhD

Are you satisfied that your children’s current educational environment is bringing out their best potential?
In a world where traditional education systems make little or no accommodation for individual learning styles (such as auditory or visual learning), and they’re failing to teach even the basics, it’s time for parents to take charge of their children’s education.
In Reclaiming Education, parents are equipped with practical and immediately useful tools to work in partnership with their children to identify and develop their learning styles and strengths. If you want to help learners build the kind of confidence that inspires lifelong learning, get them involved in the solutions for their own success.
In this book, both parents and children can learn how to

 Identify learning style strengths
 Develop strategies for adapting to less than ideal circumstances
  Design an effective study space environment that’s tailored to your child’s needs
  Motivate even the most resistant learners

A great faith-based parenting resource for anyone who feels like the traditional education system has failed their children, and for anyone interested in homeschooling or simply helping their children to succeed in any type of school setting.
Say goodbye to a one-size-fits-all education and unlock your child’s full learning potential.
