    REGGIE JOINER & KRISTEN IVY

    In Don’t Miss It, authors Reggie Joiner and Kristen Ivy help parents discover that what they understand about their kids now has the potential to change their kids’ future.

    THE OVERSCHEDULED CHILD
    ALVIN ROSENFELD & NICOLE WISE

    Parenting today has come to resemble a relentless to-do list. Lists and schedules, meetings and appointments invade our every moment and the need to be the best dominates--and undermines--our own sense of self as well as our children's. In The Overscheduled Child, renowed child psychiatrist Alvin Rosenfeld, M.D., and longtime family-issues journalist Nicole Wise combine personal and professional experience to take action against what they see as our overeager pursuit of perfection. The clear, comforting steps they prescribe to attack this rampant phenomenon will promote healthier and happier children and revitalize the parenting experience.

    For Dads

    PLAY THE MAN
    MARK BATTERSON

    Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God made them men. It's into this "no man's land" that New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: Play The Man.

    Technology

    THE TECH-WISE FAMILY
    ANDY CROUCH

    Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen time limits for our children. It's about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting technology's promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world's knowledge at our fingertips. Drawing on in-depth original research from the Barna Group, Andy Crouch shows readers that the choices we make about technology have consequences we may never have considered. Anyone who has felt their family relationships suffer or their time slip away amid technology's distractions will find in The Tech-Wise Family a path forward to reclaiming their real life in a world of devices.
