Cancer is a journey no one wants to take, but no one ever has to walk that road alone.

"If you know of someone who has cancer, Strength for the Cancer Journey will be a welcomed gift."

Keeping Love Alive as Memories Fade: The 5 Love Languages and the Alzheimer's Journey

Across America and around the world, the five love languages have revitalized relationships and saved marriages on the brink of disaster. Can they also help individuals, couples, and families cope with the devastating diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD)? 

Coauthors Barr, Chapman, and Shaw give a resounding yes. Their innovative application of the five love languages creates an entirely new way to touch the lives of the 5.5 million Americans who have Alzheimer’s, as well as their fifteen million caregivers. At its heart, this book is about how love gently lifts a corner of dementia’s dark curtain to sustain an emotional connection despite memory loss.

Children of Divorce: Helping Kids When Their Parents Are Apart

Every year more than a million children see their parents divorce. The adults who love them want to know, "How can I help?" Based on research and interviews with single parents and children, Children of Divorce provides a sympathetic, insightful answer to their question.  

 

This realistic yet compassionate book tells the truth about divorce --how it forever changes the lives of those it touches. It speaks candidly about how children respond to divorce and the changes it imposes on their lives. But Children of Divorce also tells the truth about how Christianity in action can make a difference.
