“Lord, here am I. Change him.”
“God, I’m trying. She started it.”Common claims but they’re so far from Trinitarian life. We invoke Christ at the wedding then seem to default to an alien theology afterward.
In this simple and practical book, Doug Wilson offers a richer and more comprehensive theology of marriage than in his prior works. Here he grounds marriage in the life of the Trinity and in the life of the church. Marriage is intended to be a glorious picture of the gospel, and marriages grounded elsewhere regularly create a small hell on earth. Don’t miss the riches of marriage.

Home By Choice
$19.99It’s one of the toughest choices a mother will ever make: to “work” or be a full-time mother?

In this newly repackaged, expanded, and updated edition of Home by Choice, national authority Dr. Brenda Hunter brings research to the discussion table, arguing that no one can replace the care a mother provides. As kids grow up with parental presence, she says, they develop a sense of home that will serve them all their lives. Dr. Hunter speaks directly to moms, addressing their unique concerns-such as financial pressure, support from husbands, and personal fulfillment. She makes a well-reasoned case for the enduring effects of a mother’s love.

Eve Get In Your Place
$17.63After 40 years of marriage, Gloria Ward learned her place in the marriage relationship. She began to be obedient to God’s purpose for her and every married woman. His Word states wives must submit to their husbands as unto the Lord Jesus Christ-not grudgingly, not complaining, but rather in reverence and adoration. They are to accept, honor, and respect their husbands’ leadership. God intended for a woman to complement the man, to be taken care of, to be virtuous and godly, to be their husbands’ glory, to be the sole bearers of the seed-regardless of whether their husbands are operating in their rightful position. When Gloria Ward made God’s plan her goal in marriage, love, peace, and happiness abounded. She and her husband, David, began to receive answers to prayers. The blessings began to overflow in their lives. “Eve, Get in Your Place” is a wake-up call for us women to operate in the position God has purposed and, ultimately, in obedience to Him. So take your place and trust the Lord to lead your every step. See what can happen in your life. SEQUEL – “Adam, Take Your Position” now available!

Welcoming Children : A Practical Theology Of Childhood
$34.99Welcoming Children develops a theology of childhood both from a theological perspective and from practical experience in children and youth ministry. The author draws insights from classic and modern feminist theologians, pastoral theologians, and contemporary cultural criticism to offer strategies for educational and liturgical practices in congregations that welcome children and contribute to their flourishing. Mercer outlines a feminist practical theology of childhood exploring five basic theological claims: 1) children as gifts and parenting as a religious practice of stewardship; 2) welcoming those who care for children; 3) children as fully human; 4) children as part of God’s purposes; and 5) acknowledging and transforming the sufferings of children. Her compelling argument reframes ministries with children as processes through which the church can become the foundation for children forming identities that resist consumerist culture and instead walk in the ways of Jesus.
