Finding Our Way Forward

Finding Our Way Forward

When the Children We Love Become Adults

by Melanie Springer Mock

Foreword by Caryn Rivadeneira

$18.99 / CAD $25.26

ISBN: 9781513810591

Pub Date: 02/21/2023

When our children turn 18, we hope to happily launch them into the world to become the adults we’ve been preparing them to be. Their pathway seems clear: most will go to college, find a vocation and then a true love, and settle into a comfortable life while we parents keep in touch through occasional phone calls, family gatherings, and surprise trips home for Christmas. But now more than ever, these expectations fail to acknowledge the significant challenges faced by many young people, from a pandemic to racial unrest to a climate crisis that is setting the world on fire, figuratively and literally.
 
While young people are consistently told they need to discern God’s calling, in Finding Our Way Forward, Melanie Springer Mock draws on her decades as a college professor and mom to four adult children to explore how finding our way means developing a more expansive understanding...

Thriving Families

A Trauma-Informed Guidebook for the Foster and Adoptive Journey

by Jennifer Ranter Hook and Joshua N. Hook

Foreword by Lisa Qualls

$18.99 / CAD $25.26

ISBN: 9781513810478

Pub Date: 01/17/2023

A practical roadmap for foster and adoptive families

Caring for children is deeply important to the heart of God, and adoption and foster care are important callings that connect to God’s heart for children and families. But this road isn’t always easy. It’s important that foster and adoptive parents prepare to address their children’s history of trauma, separation, and disrupted placements, which can lead to mental health, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. It is also important to understand how this journey shapes and influences our children. We cannot ignore the deep feelings and questions that children experience as they try to understand their story. How can we help them navigate their identity, and sit with them in the unknowns of their story or the grief and loss that comes up?
​
Drawing on the latest science and research on trauma, attachment, sensory processing difficulties, cultural competence, and grief and loss,...
Translating Your Past

Translating Your Past

Finding Meaning in Family Ancestry, Genetic Clues, and Generational Trauma

by Michelle Van Loon

$17.99 / CAD $23.93

ISBN: 9781513809519

Pub Date: 02/22/2022

Uncover the spiritual strength of your family story.

We all have a desire to learn more about where we’ve come from, and technology has made this more possible than ever. But our family stories are more than a list of DNA results on a piece of paper or a bunch of fading Kodachrome images filling old photo albums.

 In an era often marked by both fragmentation in family and culture and a hunger to discover our genetic roots, our family stories—including the difficult, complex ones—can carry great spiritual strength. The desire to trace, interpret, and pass on our family’s history is embedded in Scripture from beginning to end—there are nine genealogies found in the book of Genesis alone. When we bring together the various threads of our family stories with Scripture’s insights, they can provide the key to decoding our identity and helping us discover our...
Leaving Silence

Leaving Silence

Sexualized Violence, the Bible, and Standing with Survivors

by Susannah Larry

$17.99 / CAD $23.93

ISBN: 9781513808178

Pub Date: 08/03/2021

#MeToo. #ChurchToo. #GodToo?

What if survivors of sexualized violence experience the Bible as a powerful spiritual resource rather than an oppressive tool in the hands of those seeking to dismiss or justify abuse? Bible scholar Susannah Larry leads fellow survivors and those who care for them in a journey toward reclaiming the Bible amid the trauma of sexualized violence.

Leaving Silence: Sexualized Violence, the Bible, and Standing with Survivors is an unflinching examination of sexualized violence in the Bible and the God who stands steadfastly with survivors. Larry addresses biblical experiences of coercion, familial betrayal, and self-blame while also illuminating God’s constant care and concern.

​By centering the experiences of survivors in Scripture, Larry opens new insights into some of the Bible’s most difficult texts and releases its ancient stories to serve as a powerful healing witness to the God who has shared in the...

Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings

A Mother's Search for Grace

by Shari Zook

$16.99 / CAD $22.60

ISBN: 9781513807706

Pub Date: 07/06/2021

Longing for permission to be real about your own needs and struggles? Permission granted.

As good Christian moms, we’re not supposed to ask for much. Jesus meets all our needs and we’re the light of the world to everybody else, right? Wrong.
Shari Zook appeared to be an overachieving supermom who deftly supported her pastor-husband and their congregation, looked after their children, and cared for foster children through the ups and downs of placements. But inside, her world was growing increasingly desperate as she struggled with the grief of miscarriage, parenting a difficult child, and spiraling depression.
​
In her darkest hour, Zook let go of her need to appear super-human and reached out to receive God’s unfolding grace. With humor and artistry, Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings gives us permission to step out from behind the appearance of rose-filtered perfection and embrace the authenticity...
