More than a parenting guide, Redeeming the Prodigal Years is written for Moms and Dads who question, 'what did I do wrong' and 'where is God'? Through the personal journey of the author, parents will realize that God is at work in their lives as well as their child's. Through the wisdom of God's Word, parents can experience His presence like never before and see Him as the One Who redeems wasted years of rebellion and gives life abundant. "If you need compassionate, biblically-based material for parents with "prodigal" children, you've found it! Avoiding easy answers and shallow platitudes, Nahm's Redeeming the Prodigal Years provides practical encouragement steeped in abundant mercy. This work is a valuable resource for individuals or groups and is destined to become a classic." Sandra D. Wilson, PhD Seminary Professor and Author "In Redeeming the Prodigal Years Carol Nahm reflects a counselor's heart in touching the pain of those who have lost a relationship with their adult children. With wisdom from the Scriptures and from her own painful journey Nahm helps grieving parents navigate through the anguish with the hope that comes only from the healing touch of our savior." Dr. Darryl DelHousaye President of Phoenix Seminary Carol A. Nahm, MDiv, serves the Christian community as a Bible study teacher and Christian counselor. It was through her own parenting experiences with prodigal children that God led her to develop a ministry to parents who also wait for their children to come home.

Manage your time the way Jesus managed his with a biblical antidote to swamped to-do lists and hurried schedules. “A highly practical road map.”—Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author and lead pastor of National Community Church Despite the overwhelming amount of resources for time management and work-life balance, the ability to cultivate the efficiency and equilibrium needed to manage all our worthy pursuits can often feel frustratingly out of reach. The reason for our struggle is that productivity and time-management systems focus on individual habits rather than more meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes. But as it turns out, there is a better way to reach our full potential. We don’t need just another approach to changing our habits. What we need is an operating system that takes into account the full scope of our lives. In these pages, bestselling author Jordan Raynor presents this system, using seven powerful time- management principles drawn from the example of how Jesus lived: 1. Start with the Word: Find meaningful connection with the author of time daily. 2. Let Your Yes Be Yes: Accept only the commitments you can fulfill. 3. Dissent from the Kingdom of Noise: Create room for silence, stillness, and reflection. 4. Prioritize Your Yeses: Confidently maintain your commitments. 5. Accept Your “Unipresence”: Focus on one important thing at a time. 6. Embrace Productive Rest: Live the God-designed rhythms of rest which are productive for our goals and souls. 7. Eliminate All Hurry: Embrace productive busyness while ruthlessly eliminating hurry from our lives. With these principles, you’ll see how Jesus managed his time on earth and how he responded to human constraints much like the ones you face today. More than that, you’ll discover corresponding practices that will help you embrace the best, most Christlike version of yourself possible: purposeful, present, and wildly productive.

A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Are you confused about your responsibilities as a mother? Are there not enough hours in the day to get everything done? When you tuck your children into bed at night, do you have regrets? Knowing deep down in our hearts that children are gifts from God gives many of us reason to feel guilty about not making the most of our time with the children God gave us. We get so busy making school lunches, driving car pools, doing homework, and trying to keep our homes clean enough to find a path to the door that we don't know if we are coming or going. We are trying the best we know how to make the most of each day, yet we always seem to fall short of our goals. Most of us don't think of time with eternity in mind. We think of not having enough time to do all he things we feel we want to do. “I just need more hours in the day!” laments many an overburdened mother. Redeeming the Time With My Children offers parents hope and practical suggestions from a woman who has walked in their shoes. This book will encourage you to begin today to buy back wasted opportunities and redeem the time with your children.
