Common Sense: Listening to the Spirit - Lilia Faith Christian's Family Legacy

Common Sense: Listening to the Spirit - Lilia Faith Christian's Family Legacy Review



The sizzling adventures of Lilia Faith Christian will thrill the reader in the fourth novel of the acclaimed young adult series. Sixteen-year-old Lilia glances up suddenly as the wild-eyed cattle thunder down the driveway toward the busy highway. She whistles for her magnificent horse, King, grabs his mane, and leaps up on him bareback. She circles the paddock, aims King for the fence, and sails up and over it. King's hooves pound through the grass and kick up sod as Lilia and her steed bound into the ditch to the side of the charging steers. Jim springs up on his horse on the run, and gallops at breakneck speed after his fearless girlfriend. Lilia urgently gallops to get around the steers before they reach the highway. A mere yard just before the culvert under the road, Lilia reins King sharply left, and he valiantly vaults out of the ditch. A semi truck blasts his horn, and her hair whooshes backwards as the massive vehicle forewarns Lilia and her majestic horse. The scintillating story sparkles with love, and lights up the heart with faith, hope, and humor. As Lilia and Jim's feelings for each other mature, they learn not to rush it. They discover that passion, commitment, and trust must grow together, and allow their beliefs to guide them through their youth, humanness, and frustrations. About the Author: Peggy L. Headlund grew up on a large dairy farm in Farmington, Minnesota. Currently, she lives in Calabasas, California, with her husband, Don, and her two Westies.

Spiritual Warfare for Women: Winning the Battle for Your Home, Family, and Friends

Spiritual Warfare for Women: Winning the Battle for Your Home, Family, and Friends Review



Evil is real, and Christian women know it. While most books on the topic of spiritual warfare take a charismatic approach, Spiritual Warfare for Women aims directly at the center of the evangelical market, giving instruction and assurance to all women who want to protect themselves and the ones they love. McCoy provides spiritual wisdom and practical tips on identifying the enemy's strategies, overcoming fear, and exercising the power that comes from God. The book is structured around the battle between God's love and Satan's lies. Once a woman can embrace the first and reject the second, she is well on her way to victory.

Coming Out, Coming Home: Helping Families Adjust to a Gay or Lesbian Child

Coming Out, Coming Home: Helping Families Adjust to a Gay or Lesbian Child Review



The discovery that a child is lesbian or gay can send shockwaves through a family. A mother will question how she's raised her son; a father will worry that his daughter will experience discrimination. From the child's perspective, gay and lesbian youth fear their families will reject them and that they will lose financial and emotional support. All in all, learning a child is gay challenges long-held views about sexuality and relationships, and the resulting uncertainty can produce feelings of anger, resentment, and concern.

Through a qualitative, multicultural study of sixty-five gay and lesbian children and their parents, Michael LaSala, a leading expert on this issue, outlines effective, practice-tested interventions for families in transition. His research reveals surprising outcomes, such as learning that a child is homosexual can improve familial relationships, including father-child relationships, even if a parent reacts strongly or negatively to the revelation. By confronting feelings of depression, anxiety, and grief head on, LaSala formulates the best approach for practitioners who hope to reestablish intimacy among family members and preserve family connections—as well as individual autonomy—well into the child's maturation. By restricting his study to parents and children of the same family, LaSala accurately captures the reciprocal effects of family interactions, identifying them as targets for effective treatment. Coming Out, Coming Home is also a valuable text for families, enabling adjustment through relatable scenarios and analyses.
