Before Sarah Styf turned eighteen, she was moved across the country four times, living in five states in four different time zones before she left her parents' home in Michigan for four years of college in Nebraska. As an adult, she and her husband started their family in Indiana, then chose to spend six years in Southeast Texas, before a significant life-changing event sent them back to the Midwest. There have been two constants throughout Sarah's life: faith and change. One of the ways she coped with change over the years was writing. After nearly a decade of blogging, Sarah noticed a common theme throughout her writing: life is a series of unexpected events, a blind journey through the challenges of being a human, raising children, maintaining a career, and getting older. In her first book, she processes her own journey of leaning into the unexpected and learning how to build a home when everything blows up in your face.

The Kid Chronicles is an anthology of short stories embedded in a novel. I wrote the book this way for a few reasons. First, I incorporated the short stories to entertain the reader while highlighting social issues. Each short story teaches a lesson that is relevant to the life of a pre-teen and teenager living in an urban area.     Secondly, the main story is aimed to heal mother-son relationships that have been fractured by the stress and strain of the son's misbehavior at school. Some urban schools are plagued with behavior problems that interfere with the learning process, and many educators and parents struggle with finding ways to address undesirable behavioral patterns at school.      The main story shows how a mother and son can maintain a healthy relationship or recharge the relationship after a setback. Mothers learn to support boys in making healthy choices at school.      Lastly, the short stories and the main story have content reflective of situations that many young people face, such as: coping after a tragedy, handling conflict with a classmate, managing grief, developing self-control and controlling impulsivity.       The book is full of violent situations, so it is imperative that parents or adults read the book before allowing young readers to read the book. Hopefully, the interaction between the mothers and sons will start healthy conversations that will bring healing and understanding.

Family Is Divinely Inspired¿¿Family is God's design for us. But imagine a world without family. What would it be like? You would never attend a family reunion. You would have no one to invite to your wedding. You would have no spouse to commit your life to. No children or grandchildren. You would not gather with family for special holiday celebrations. You might feel alone. Isolated. As if you didn't belong. But that isn't what God had in mind, so He established the family.In Never Alone, Dr. Albert Reyes explores scripture to help us find God's plan and design for the family. Using the Bible as his guide and stories of real families with his ministry at Buckner International, Dr. Reyes guides you on a journey of discovery. Discover that family is a gift from God with the power to inspire hope. Find God's plan for your family.

The go-to guide for those raising children with mental disorders that Booklist calls a "reassuring guide" and a "genuinely helpful handbook."The prevalence of mental health disorders in children is rising in the United States. In fact, recent studies estimate that one in six children ages six to seventeen have a mental health disorder.

Then, organized by common mental health disorders, Corcoran provides comprehensive information about each condition's symptoms, frequently co-occurring disorders, contributory factors, evidence-based treatments, medication options, working with your child's school, and insight from parents' own experiences. Your Child's Mental Health Diagnosis also addresses the overwhelming emotions parents may feel when witnessing their child suffer and emphasizes the importance of parents looking after their own mental health and relationships. An empathetic guide backed by up-to-date research, this book provides the support, information, and practical strategies parents need to help their child thrive despite the challenges they may face.

Those who know God as their Father may recognize that the way He dealt with the nation of Israel in the Old Testament is the same way He deals with us as His adopted spiritual children.In a bond of love, He directs us in the right way to go. He then walks along with us for the rest of our lives, disciplining us toward becoming everything we were meant to be as we enjoy His companionship. If we resist His direction, we find ourselves isolated, experiencing the stress of loneliness. When we come to our senses, we return and confess. He always forgives us and resumes His discipline.The Old Testament story of God and Israel is like a parable of how a perfect parent raises a child. It is a story for you and me, the children of God.
