Book Description
We are all children of someone, we ought to pursue God's blessings, and we need to give prominence to God's prominent command. Thus, we can no longer ignore the forgotten Fifth Commandment: Honor your father and mother. In the home, church, and workplace, it provides a stable foundation for society, and we fail to appreciate its relevance.

Book Description
“An eloquent argument for speaking even the most difficult truths.” —New York Times Book Review Paul Moore’s vocation as an Episcopal priest took him— with his wife, Jenny, and their family of nine children—from robber-baron wealth to work among the urban poor, leadership in the civil rights and peace movements, and two decades as the bishop of New York. The Bishop’s Daughter is his daughter’s story of that complex, visionary man: a chronicle of her turbulent relationship with a father who struggled privately with his sexuality while she openly explored hers and a searching account of the consequences of sexual secrets.

Book Description
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. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Book Description
Is morality based on some essential truth or is it defined by society? In this highly original critique of American social mores and popular culture, David Klinghoffer argues that the Ten Commandments are essential to maintaining a morally healthy society. With the meticulousness of a scholar, he begins by excavating the meaning of the Commandments. Drawing on the millennia-old rabbinical work Mechilta, he explains that the Decalogue was written on two tablets to show that when a country neglects the Commandments written on the first tablet—those having to do with the relationship between God and people—the interpersonal relationships described on the second tablet suffer irreparable damage as well. Addressing such timely topics as the controversy over public displays of the Commandments and the battles over intelligent design, Klinghoffer demonstrates that Christians and Jews are united in their opposition to the pagan aspects of our culture. In the tradition of Hebrew prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah, he describes our failings with humor and compassion but also with anger and disappointment. An unusual, incisive perspective on the role of religion in society, Shattered Tablets is sure to spark debate. In the end Klinghoffer argues that by shrugging off the Bible as a guide and turning toward secularism, America has created a crude, cruel, and dishonest national life.

Book Description
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
