Gayle Jackson in his remarkable book, Honoring Parents, has given us a biblically based book on why and how to honor our parents. Gayle has taken personal stories and imported them with scripture that gives us a book to be read and used. Topics such as aging parents, forgiveness, relationship commitment and responsibility are invaluable. The nobility of honoring our parents is a reflection of our love of God. Karen Loritts As you read this book, you will discover Gayle brings a biblical worldview to the subject. This come from years of giving attention to the needs of the parents of Connie and him, possibly to a degree that most will never be called to replicate. If you want a biblical perspective on parenting, coupled with years of personal experience, this is the book to read. Walt Henrichsen The book's principles helped us think through so many personal decisions in a Biblical way. It was not the easiest way but it was the best. Read this book carefully to gain strength and encouragement if you are now the "care-taker." No matter who you are or what stage of life you are in, Gayle's well thought out principles are important today. Patsy Harley My friend Gayle Jackson has written a much-needed book that is borne out of his rich knowledge of Scripture and his diligent application of biblical principles in his relationship with his parents. Honoring Your Parents offers a wealth of perceptive lessons and principles that impart wisdom on this very practical but often neglected area. The metamorphosis of honor in this book offers an excellent and original model as well. Ken Boa At once Biblically centered and engagingly personal, Gayle Jackson's book on honoring your parents is a must-read for anyone with aging parents. Janna Kay Henrichsen, PHD

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God.

Families with boys often find the world reacts to them in mock horror. Even though parents love their sons, privately they admit that boys can be a handful to raise--they are boisterous, competitive, reckless, distractable. The challenge of wills between parent and son starts early, and the quest to civilize young bulls may seem hopeless some days. Yet believers know that God has given them children as a gift of heaven, specially chosen for their particular families and marked as a blessing. If that's so, why does it seem so hard? How can we prepare these boys to serve God when it's all we can do to make it through another day? Isn't there a better way? Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys shows the answer is emphatically yes. Written by the parents of six boys, Raising Real Men provides hope and encouragement to families with sons. Starting from the premise that God made boys to become men, Hal and Melanie Young offer Biblical principles and tested, practical ideas for training the manly virtues that can drive parents and teachers up the wall. This is a practical guide to equipping the hearts and minds of boys without breaking or losing your own. "...earthy, realistic, humorous, and scriptural ..." -- Douglas Wilson, author, Future Men "This is just what the doctor ordered for parents who want to raise capable Christian men of character." -- John Rosemond, author, Parenting By The Book
