Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are

Relationships are wonderful . . . until they're not.

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst as she helps you stop the dysfunction of unhealthy relationships by showing you biblical ways to set boundaries--and, when necessary, say goodbye--without losing the best of who you are.

Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary? Are Christians ever called to walk away from a relationship that's no longer safe or sustainable? Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands these hard questions in the midst of relational struggles.

But after thousands of hours of counseling intensives and extensive theological research that transformed the way she defined healthy relationships, Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without losing the best of who she is. She wants to help you do the same. In these pages Lysa will help you:

 * Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries.
 * Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you based on how responsible they'll be with that access.
 * Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized scriptures that perpetuate unhealthy dynamics in difficult relationships.
 * Overcome the frustrating cycle of ineffective boundary-setting with realistic scripts and practical strategies to help you communicate, keep, and implement healthier patterns.
 * Be equipped to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive and is no longer sustainable.
 * Receive therapeutic wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa's Christian counselor Jim Cress, who weighs in throughout the book.

 

You'll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren't just a good idea, they're a God idea.

Discover How to Move On, Make Peace with Painful Memories, and Create a Life That's Beautiful Again

Discover what the Bible says about forgiveness and how to find the peace that comes from embracing it.

This video Bible study with bestselling author and teacher Lysa TerKeurst (video streaming included) is for those of you who have been hurt by others, who feel stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain. Forgiveness is a major part of the Christian faith. We know God commands us to forgive each other. But, apart from simply saying the words, "I forgive you," many of us have unasked questions about it:

 * How does it work? On our minds, souls, circumstances--what's actually happening when we forgive?
 * Why is it so important, and what's the difference between forgiveness and simply moving on?
 * When should I forgive, and are their exceptions?
 * How can I find healing for myself, even if my act of forgiveness doesn't seem to change the person who hurt me?

 

These are just some of the questions explored in this six-session video Bible study. Lysa will walk with you on a step-by-step process--through biblical answers, deep empathy, and the therapeutic insight that comes from her personal experiences--toward the grace of forgiveness and the freedom from the pain of past wrongs.

This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

 * The study guide itself--with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.
 * An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (DVD also available separately).

Cris Beam

The Intimate Life of American Foster Care

A New York Times Notable Book, this intimate, authoritative look at the foster care system examines why it is failing the kids it is supposed to protect and what can be done to change it.



Who are the children of foster care? What, as a country, do we owe them?



Cris Beam, a foster mother herself, spent five years immersed in the world of foster care looking into these questions and tracing firsthand stories. The result is To the End of June, an unforgettable portrait that takes us deep inside the lives of foster children in their search for a stable, loving family.



Beam shows us the intricacies of growing up in the system--the back-and-forth with agencies, the rootless shuffling between homes, the emotionally charged tug between foster and birth parents, the terrifying push out of foster care and into adulthood. Humanizing and challenging a broken system, To the End of June offers a tribute to resiliency and hope for real change.



"[A] powerful . . . and refreshing read."--Chicago Tribune



"A sharp critique of foster-care policies and a searching exploration of the meaning of family."--Publishers Weekly, starred review



"Heart-rending and tentatively hopeful."--Salon

"An extremely useful parenting handbook... truly outstanding ... strongly recommended." --Library Journal (starred review) "A tremendous resource for parents and professionals alike." --Thomas Atwood, president and CEO, National Council for Adoption The adoption of a child is always a joyous moment in the life of a family. Some adoptions, though, present unique challenges. Welcoming these children into your family--and addressing their special needs--requires care, consideration, and compassion. Written by two research psychologists specializing in adoption and attachment, The Connected Child will help you: Build bonds of affection and trust with your adopted child Effectively deal with any learning or behavioral disorders Discipline your child with love without making him or her feel threatened "A must-read not only for adoptive parents, but for all families striving to correct and connect with their children." --Carol S. Kranowitz, author of The Out-of-Sync Child "Drs. Purvis and Cross have thrown a life preserver not only to those just entering uncharted waters, but also to those struggling to stay afloat." --Kathleen E. Morris, editor of S. I. Focus magazine "Truly an exceptional, innovative work . . . compassionate, accessible, and founded on a breadth of scientific knowledge and clinical expertise." --Susan Livingston Smith, program director, Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute "The Connected Child is the literary equivalent of an airline oxygen mask and instructions: place the mask over your own face first, then over the nose of your child. This book first assists the parent, saying, in effect, 'Calm down, you're not the first mom or dad in the world to face this hurdle, breathe deeply, then follow these simple steps.' The sense of not facing these issues alone--the relief that your child's behavior is not off the charts--is hugely comforting. Other children have behaved this way; other parents have responded thusly; welcome to the community of therapeutic and joyful adoptive families." --Melissa Fay Greene, author of There is No Me Without You: One Woman's Odyssey to Rescue Africa's Children
