Quiet Time

It’s when you’re too afraid to make a sound... Inside his picture-perfect home, Warren Scott runs a tight ship. He demands total respect from his family. He’ll accept nothing less. The Scotts are quiet, they keep to themselves — and to the neighbors, they seem like any other family. Then the Scotts’ facade shatters one sun-drenched morning in May. Sari Siegel is engaged to Tim Scott when his mother is found murdered. Sari barely knows the Scotts, but even she can sense the terrible secrets that seethe below the surface. Sari knows something about Peggy’s murder, but she isn’t telling ... at least not yet. For if she does, her own dreams of a perfect life with Tim will shatter. There are some family traditions no one wants to keep.

This book helps to explain how to develop the most important habit of your life. Dag Heward-Mills, a passionate Christian leader, reveals the greatest secret of his relationship with God as his quiet time they have everyday. Quiet time is the time you spend with God alone and because we have such busy schedules, the important thing is to develop a strategy and follow steps for successful time with God. It is important not to lose your only chance for a personal relationship with God. A lot of practical guidelines are given like a daily prayer time, studying the Bible during this time and tools for effective time with God. The importance of how to interpret the Bible is also stressed and quotes of what great men said about the Bible are used to show how important the Bible is to Christians. George Washington, the first president of the USA, said: It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.

A new approach to quiet time that will refresh your heart and soul. So many of us struggle to create space in our daily routines for time with God. We deeply desire to feel close to Him, but we are constantly asking, How do I create a quiet space with God in my busy, chaotic schedule? Why does having a quiet time require so much effort? Am I the only one who feels this way? We know that setting aside quiet moments with God is important, but for one reason or another, meeting with him on a regular basis just feels hard. In Quiet, Naomi Vacaro, creator of the online community Wholehearted and the Quiet Time Companion journal, offers hope and a unique solution for creating (and maintaining) a quiet-time habit. Naomi will show readers that having daily time with God is simple, attractive, and achievable no matter what season of life they are in. In Quiet she'll explore what it means to practice a grace-based approach to quiet time, quiet-time ruts and how to get out of them, and how to conquer feelings of guilt and failure—and move into freedom instead. Time with God can happen anytime, anywhere, and Quiet will help you create new habits to keep you uplifted and enjoy the grace God freely offers.

Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders but don’t respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS). Dr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices — such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets — can easily overstimulate a child’s nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she’s discovered that a strict, extended electronic fast single-handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child’s diagnosis. It also reduces the need for medication and renders other treatments more effective. Offered now in this book, this simple intervention can produce a life-changing shift in brain function and help your child get back on track — all without cost or medication. While no one in today’s connected world can completely shun electronic stimuli, Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child’s difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them.
