Everyone has a book in them. We all have a story we want to share with the world, so here is mine. This beautifully told non-fictional story is part mother's love story and part specially-abled children's story that reads like motherhood nonfiction. It's the rare book that makes you laugh, cry and learn so much. Most importantly, this teaches us how to live beyond the grasp of destiny and be wildly, passionately, outrageously devoted to life. I hold this courageous book close to my heart, which reminds me of life's frail wonder.

Couples often spend surprisingly little time getting ready for the huge rite of passage of becoming parents. Pregnant couples may paint the nursery, but neglect discussing how their roles may change. They may have a car seat ready, but not a will. The first of its kind, this interactive book provides expectant couples with 55 essential conversation-starters and action items to complete before having a baby, using their own beliefs and values. They'll learn the biggest concerns for expectant and new parents, find their unique strengths as a couple, and develop greater confidence in the transition to having a baby and becoming parents. Parenting is simultaneously heart-opening and heart-wrenching, humbling and humorous, joyful and overwhelming. But this small and indispensable book will help hopeful, expectant, and new parents alleviate stress and answer some of the biggest questions they'll want to address before their baby arrives.

Parenting is a daunting task, especially if you''re young and inexperienced. Today many parents find themselves disconnected from their children and overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness. There are two basic approaches to parenting that can be used-reactive parenting and responsive parenting.Reactive parenting, so prevalent in today''s society, is done in reaction to something, whether a whining child or a parent''s own anxiety. It is impulsive and produces poor results. As more and more young people reach adulthood without an adequate model of self-regulation and conflict resolution, the more visible this problem becomes.On the other hand, Responsive Parenting, as described in Boyd''s book, is a principled approach to parenting. It emphasizes the importance of preparing children for adulthood. Responsive parenting is thoughtful and is in response to the child''s best interests. It takes the long view It listens and clarifies. It apologizes and forgives. It is flexible and extends freedom with responsibility. It is accepting and affirming while being connected and supportive.Boyd Brooks shows readers through easy to understand biblical principles how to build self-esteem and confidence in their children and help them discover who they were meant to be.
