Christian Focus Publications Ltd A Family Worship Guide to Luke
Book SynopsisThis new series of Bible studies for the family is written for the parent in the pew. Each volume serves as an aid to fathers and mothers as they seek to lead their families in daily worship together. The lessons review the main point of the passage under consideration, offer suggested discussion points for children of a variety of ages, suggest songs to broaden the family’s song repertoire, and identify items of prayer.Trade ReviewThe older Protestant authors frequently urge the practice of what they called "family religion," seeing it as a vital plank in God's program for the revival of vital Christianity. May we see a renewal in our day of this much neglected spiritual discipline, as Gleason guides the "little churches" that meet in homes through the Gospel of Luke. -- Terry L. Johnson (Senior Pastor, Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia)This guide offers the head of a household a concise analysis of the day's reading from Luke that he can review in two minutes, helpful guidelines for age-appropriate discussions, a suggested psalm or hymn to sing, and a starting point for family prayer. What a help and what a blessing! -- Joel R. Beeke (Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)The realities of practicing family worship often make the benefits seem distant or even inaccessible. We aren't sure what to say about a passage, how to apply the text in an age-appropriate way, or even what to pray. Geoff Gleason gently and helpfully takes the reader by the hand and simplifies the practice of family worship. -- Jason Helopoulos (Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Lessons I Learned From My Little Girl
Book SynopsisFrom the very beginning, becoming a parent changes you. From first seeing their heart beat on a scan, to holding your little one in your arms, having children helps you see the world, your place in it, and how your Father God relates to you, in a completely new way. In this beautifully illustrated book Dai Hankey shares some of the lessons he learned when his first little girl was born. A tender account of a father’s love for his child and his journey into parenthood, this is a lovely gift for new or prospective parents.Trade ReviewThis is a beautifully put together little book that will have a profound impact on all who read it. And read it you should! Pause on the deep truths that are written from the heart, take a moment to consider your life and its meaning. Make sure your friends read it. -- Carl Beech (UK Director, The Message Trust & President, Christian Vision for Men) The stories about Elen took me to memories and stories I have about my own kids which stirred my affections for them, but more importantly for Jesus. Dai brings out the clear gospel truths we so often miss in the everyday of looking after our kids. A great book that will stir the hearts of Christians but would be a wonderful gift for any parent. -- Steve Robinson (Pastor, Cornerstone Church, Liverpool, UK)The Bible makes it clear that parents bear the privilege and responsibility of training up their children. Yet children have a way of training up their parents at the same time. I loved hearing what Dai Hankey has learned about life and faith through raising his precious little girl. -- Tim Challies (Author, ‘Seasons of Sorrow’)Such a lovely book explaining the gospel through the eyes of a first–time father. It would make a great evangelistic gift; but it’s full of heart–warming truths for believers too. A wee gem. -- Emma & Glen Scrivener (Author of ‘A New Name’ & Director and Evangelist at Speak Life)This is a delightful book that also has some powerful things to say. I guarantee it will bring a lump to the throat or a tear to the eye of even the most hardened reader. -- Tim Chester (Author and senior faculty member, Crosslands Training)

Rowman & Littlefield Building Boys: Raising Great Guys in a World that
Book SynopsisOffers parents tips and tools to help boys move beyond persistent gender stereotypes to full humanity.We want to raise well-rounded human beings—we're just not quite sure how best to do it. Confounded by rapidly changing gender norms, today’s parents are attempting to raise kind, compassionate, emotionally sensitive boys in a society that simultaneously rewards stereotypical masculinity and is increasingly hostile to boys. Surrounded by messages of female empowerment, young boys ask their parents, “Why don’t they ever say that boys can be anything they want to be?” Teaching boys to respect others will help them in the future—but can make life awfully difficult in the here and now. Making the world a safer place for women and girls is not the only reason to rethink our boy raising practices. Current culture harms our boys too—and they need (and deserve) as much support as girls and women. Building Boys is written by an in-the-trenches #boymom who intimately understands male development and the challenges currently facing boys and their families. Fink offers ten rules that parents can use to guide their parenting choices throughout their sons’ lives—guidelines that are as relevant to parenting toddlers as they are to parenting teenagers. These rules range from emphasizing emotional intelligence to letting your son struggle and ultimately accepting him as he is. Fink explains both the science and research behind each rule as well as stories and anecdotes from families, including her own. Parents are taught how to apply the rule to a variety of common parenting challenges. And because these rules are broad, they are as applicable to boys with ADHD, autism and learning challenges are they are to neurotypical boys.

Seal Press (CA) Birth Control: The Insidious Power of Men Over
Book Synopsis'Supported by ample data and suffused with anger,” an award-winning journalist “convincingly recasts this country’s maternal health care system as needlessly dehumanizing” (New York Times Book Review). Modern medicine should make pregnancy and childbirth safer for all. But in Birth Control, award-winning journalist Allison Yarrow reveals how women are controlled, traumatized, injured, and even killed because of the traditionalist practices of medical professionals and hospitals. Ever since doctors stole control of birth from midwives in the 19th century, women have been steamrolled by a male-dominated medical establishment that has everyone convinced that birthing bodies are inherently flawed and that every pregnancy is a crisis that it alone can “solve.” Common medical practices and procedures violate human rights and the law, yet take place daily. Misogyny and racism, not scientific evidence and support, shape the overwhelming majority of America’s four million annual births. Drawing on extensive reporting, expert interviews, an original survey of 1,300 mothers, and her own personal experiences, Yarrow documents how modern maternal health care is insidiously, purposefully designed to take power from women to the detriment of their physical and mental health—not just during labor, but for years after. She then shows a better way, exploring solutions both cutting-edge and ancient to—finally—return power and control to birthing people. Full of urgent insights and heartfelt emotion, Birth Control is an explosive call to action.
