<i> </i>The beginning of the book focuses on the changes in culture,
mostly from media and social networking, that have occurred just within
the past five years,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The book is broken up into three main parts. Part one tackles the
challenges of today's culture and it's impact and influence on both
parents and kids. Part two addresses parental practices to avoid . Part three focuses on parenting practices
that actually work with some clarification. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That two Appendixes which are also helpful in my opinion are titled</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Conversation Starters and How To Discuss Conflict.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mark Gregston, along with his wife, serves as Executive Director for <a href="http://www.heartlightministries.org/">Heartlight Ministries</a> and hosts <a href="http://www.heartlightministries.org/parentingtodaysteens/">Parenting Today's Teens</a> radio talk show. <br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall though, I would highly recommend this book to anyone that works
with students in their teenage years. Teachers, parents, bosses,
counselors, and everyone else working with students should take the time
to study and think about this book.<br />
<br />

The Ministry of Christ: 1000 Days is a look at the last three years
of Jesus Christ's life. <b>
</b>
While Jesus lived roughly 33 years on this earth, his public
ministry was only 3 years, which is roughly 1000 days of ministry. The Falwell explains how we can apply the teachings of Jesus to our own lives.<br />
<br />
This book was simply written,easy to understand and I came away encouraged after reading it.<br />

I have had this green mohair couch in storage for many many moons.<br />
<br />
My choices were to<br />
<br />
1. cut up the couch and REuse the mohair for a project (never got around to it, story of my life)<br />
2. USE it as a couch. (that's a good idea)<br />
<br />
The day finally came that I was going to either use it or reuse it. So glad I decided to USE it just the way it was. <br />
<br />
She fits perfect into my music room.<br />

When we moved into our new house I had no idea what I was going to do for a window treatments on this HUGE window in our bedroom. My hubby's solution was to tape the curtains to the window for the night in order to get a good nights sleep. Well, needless to say I grew tired of the "tape your curtains to window idea" and went on the hunt for something that would fit out budget of $0 dollars. <br />
<br />
Items needed:<br />
<br />
1. 3 curtain rod bracket s ( found in junk drawer)<br />
2. Hemp Twine (found in craft room)<br />
3. Gromets ( found in garage)<br />
4. Fabric ( used what was taped to window)<br />
5. The best part TREE BRANCH (found on burning pile in backyard)<br />
<br />
$0 dollars for window treatment makeover<br />
<br />
<br />

Much like stained glass, life's broken pieces become the prism through which God's grace shines most brightly and beautifully.<br />
"Life is no doubt full of difficulties, but it is also filled with
promise and possibility," says best-selling author and WOF speaker Patsy
Clairmont. In Stained Glass Hearts Clairmont guides readers to view the
difficult experiences of life through the lens of God's grace. Using
art as a theme, and likening people to stained glass windows, she shares
that it's when we're surrounded by darkness that His healing light
shines most brightly within us. Encouraging women to step back and see
life from this new perspective, Patsy offers help and hope for the dark
places of life.<br />
<br />
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this well written and interesting book and
recommend it to anyone in the process of healing from some hurt, or
wanting an uplifting read. <br />
