How They Make It Work

How They Make it Work describes 21 of the most important habits commonly found in healthy and vibrant marriage relationships. It’s a good start when repairing a damaged marriage to work on removing destructive habits, but that’s not enough. Those old habits must be replaced with new and improved ones – habits that will reshape and strengthen rather than damage and undermine. At the end of each chapter there are several questions designed to help you process together the new habits that are being suggested. Since they have worked for others, there is more than a good chance they will work for you.  LEARN MORE   |  VIEW VIDEO

Parenting with an Attitude

It is understandable that most parents these days are looking for answers to questions they have that will help them raise healthy and well balanced kids.

What is different about this book is that, rather than addressing our kids’ attitudes, our attitudes toward our kids is the focus. Rather than attempting to extract attitude changes in them, fine-tuning our attitudes will in turn likely result in improved attitudes in them. In turn, the results are likely to be healthy and responsible kids who grow up to be well-adjusted adults.  LEARN MORE   |  VIEW VIDEO
